Hi,

I'm trying to make a listview based on formlets. So imagine a list of contacts. At the bottom is an addnew row to add contacts to the grid. As you fill in the addnew row the list grows. I can get something working by using the Enhance.Many combinator like in the [link:www.websharper.com]

The only problem with that is that I don't want the items in the list to be editable. So when you add contact X, its row formlet will consist of Labels with an Edit button. The user can then click the edit button which will swap the row Formlet with Inputs again and a Save button.

I hope you get the idea. So anyway, the missing piece I need is essentially to be able to swap a formlet in a list of formlets and I'm stuck at how to achieve this

One naieve dirty approach was this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15

            let test (value:string) (edit:int)=
                Formlet.Do {
                    
                    let! e =  [Controls.Button ("Edit") ; Formlet.Return edit]
                                |> Formlet.Choose
                            
                    let! x    = if e % 2 = 0 then
                                    Controls.Input value
                                else
                                    Controls.ReadOnlyInput value
                                    
                    return x
                }
                |> Formlet.Horizontal 
                |> Formlet.FlipBody

This doesn't really work. Any idea's of how I can achieve Edit mode / View Mode functinality on formlets?
