can we dynamically change a SettingsPage using CreateSettingsPage

[mnsandler]

can we rebuild/dynamically change a settings page based on user input? for example, after a user enters a value, and clicks save, rebuild the page, and redisplay

I wanted something similar early on, but in the brief time I fooled with SettingsPage, there's just limited functionality.
For example, I wanted the user to enter something like an IP, username, and password. From there, I wanted the page to validate that info and return something back. I could not figure it out.

Subscribing to see if this is possible...

within the OnSettingChange, based on my logic, i called Settings.RemoveAll() and then called my routine to rebuild the Settings page. Based on the new logic the settings page are changed and registered to the plugin menu.

i don't know if this is a good idea or supported, but at first glance it seems to work.

Thats good info... Are you able to rearrange anything on the SettingsPage when you rebuild it?

all this requires the users to Save the page before you can change it. rearranging shouldn't be a problem

i have two setting pages (basic & advanced): on the basic page, i add a username/pswd field based on the input value of the first field and Save. on the advanced. i completely change a few settings on the advanced page as well.
