CheckBox would be a good test bed for this.

That would be a big change, but one way to do that would be to use the widgets as their own models, i.e., drop the property maps and store the widgets directly. I think that would simplify a lot of things as well.

Right now, though, the widgets expect a GUIWorkspace. We'd need a way to create them without one. Anything that affects the GUI would have to be conditional to having a reference to the GUIWorkspace.

I'm setting aside using widgets as their own models for now. Seems like it would create a lot of problems when running headless. If I can store a reference to the Writer in the PropertyDefs, that should be good enough for now.

nicolaspayette commented 10 years ago

One problem with that: a PropertyDef doesn't know its property key until after its been instantiated (because the key is set through reflection).
