Inmethod grid with more edit controls

[Jim Pinkham <pi...@gmail.com>]

I'm just getting started with inmethod grid and loving what it does so far.

Now I'd like some to use other input controls such as checkbox, radiobutton,
datepicker, or ChoiceList.

I see EditablePropertyColumn has newCellPanel I could override to return
Panels with various input component types in edit mode.

Before I embark on this, does anyone have other ideas about how to approach
this?

Panels could benefit from the way TextFieldPanel puts feedback into title,
which suggests to me a new class such as AbstractEditablePropertyColumn
where this could be moved.  I also notice that CheckBoxColumn has the
concern of being a row-selector that could be separated into
RowSelectingCheckBoxColumn, for example (leaving the name CheckBoxColumn
available as the obvious choice for editing any boolean column).

I also like the idea of the light-weight propertycolumn (currently newCell
just puts value into response) to use these same corresponding panels in
disabled mode - maybe for radio and checkbox render the corresponding
control markup as disabled (display-only) to retain the light-weightness but
also have a richer display.

I know that's a lot to ask, but it seems a reasonable target to aim for...
Thoughts?

Thanks,
