General In-Place Element - #inplace {}

The inplace element creates a view element that the user can edit in place.

The user clicks on the view element, and it is replaced with an edit element, an OK button, and a Cancel button.

If the user clicks OK, a callback is issued to the delegate module so that it can save the new value.

Usage

   #inplace { id=textbox1, text="Some text.", view=#span{}, edit=#textbox{} }.

   #inplace { id=textbox2, text="", view=#image{}, edit=#textbox{} }.

   Dropdown = #dropdown{options=[#option{value="option1", text="Option 1"},
                                 #option{value="option2", text="Option 2"},
                                 #option{value="option3", text="Option 3"} ]},
   #inplace { id=textbox3, text="option2", view=Dropdown#dropdown{actions=#disable{}}, edit=Dropdown }.
