Enable/Disable Clips

[rjwignar]

This is a Work-In-Progress Pull Request meant to solve #19

Summary of Changes (WIP)

inspector.cpp

• added 'Enabled' checkbox for non-Gap items (Tracks and Clips) using ImGui::Checkbox():
  

timeline.cpp

• In DrawItem(), added conditional graying out on disabled items
  • Disabled non-Gap items have a gray fill_color
    (obtained by calling UIColorFromName("") to get IM_COL32(0x88, 0x88, 0x88, 0xff)).
• Disabled tracks look like this:
  
• The color change seems to apply only to disabled clips and not disabled tracks
• The current color for disabled items is just a placeholder until I can find a better color to use.

Request for help - Use Checkbox while keeping Item::_enabled private

The ImGui::Checkbox() only works as presented if Item::_enabled data member is exposed (made a non-private data member).
I couldn't get the checkbox to work otherwise. I tried using the public getter/setter methods (Item::enabled() and Item::set_enabled()) to make the checkbox functional but the checkbox would quickly un-tick itself once enabled.

I'd appreciate any advice on how to add a functional checkbox while keeping Item::_enabled private.

The typical ImGui pattern for dealing with setter/getters is something like this:

auto enabled = item->enabled();
if (ImGui::Checkbox("Enabled", &enabled)) {
  item->set_enabled(enabled);
}

Is that what you tried already?

I believe the problem is that there might be more than one item named "Enabled" in the interface. ImGui requires all the gui elements to be uniquely identified and generally relies on a widgets label for that. So I bet, if you modify your code like the below, it will work.

ImGui::PushId(&item->_enabled);
bool x = ImGui::Checkbox("Enabled", &item->_enabled);
ImGui::PopId();
