Summary

0001155: CTabButtonList value always nil (CList in general)

Description

the value of such a list isn't sychroniced with the selection, like described in the class comment.
In general all CLists should behave in that way, that the value of a list hold the current selection. that makes is easier to set a list as a player and vice versa.
DropdownLists have already such a behavior.
Adding following or similar two methods to CList resolves the problem:
onSelectionChanged
    <on: cursorChanged>
    self value: self selection

onValueChanged

    self selection: self value

Notes
(0001482 - 409 - 409 - 409 - 409 - 409 - 409) andreas 05-13-05 20:31	I've changed this to a feature request since it's not a bug in the sense of the word. I'm somewhat hesitent about changing this since it seems to me that a valid alternative for the lists value would be the items of the list iself. Given that there are multiple valid interpretations as for what a list's value represents it seems to me that hard-coding a single interpretation for all lists is problematic.
