fxruby users - Jan 2009 - selective disabling of text entry in a FXTable (again)

Hello,

I originally sent the following query to the FXRuby mailing list, but as 
it seems to be a FOX issue, Lyle Johnson forwarded it to the main FOX list.
There has been no reply, so is this a FOX bug or a misunderstanding on my
part?

The original intent of "disabled item" was that it wasn''t
selectable; however,
I do believe "not-editable" may be a better interpretation of this
flag, at
least for FXTable....

I will fix this for 1.7...

It was fixed in FOX 1.7: when an item is disabled, it can not be edited.

OK - Thanks.  Is there an easy workaround to disable editing table cells for
FOX 1.6?

In this particular case, since I can implement it with no API changes, I
could probably backport the fix.  

I think its unlikely to affect anyone since disabling cells isn''t done
all that
often.

So expect it in the next FOX 1.6.x update...
