[OpenLayers-Dev] Fwd: Enabling/disabling controls

I'm cross-posting, since I did not get any response on "users" (and
obviously, it was not the best place to ask for this)
Thank's,

Hi list,

Currently, OpenLayers controls can be activated/deactivated but not
enabled/disabled.
In my mind, a disabled control should not be able to change state, nor being
triggered, and its panel button would be grayed out (either in OpenLayers or
MapFish panel).

A simple use case would be the enabling/disabling of the SelectFeature
control, based on the presence of features in the vector layer it is
attached to.

I just wanted to have your feedback on this before I write a ticket.

Thank's to you all,

F.
