Hi there,

Have you ever discussed triggering a callback in _setOption so that you can listen to state changes within a widget. For instance I want do something whenever the disabled state is changed however there's no way to know this as it currently stands...

This is what I mean:

1. _setOption: function (key, value) {
               this.options[key] = value;
   
               if (key === "disabled") {
                   this.widget()
                   [value ? "addClass" : "removeClass"](
                       this.widgetBaseClass + "-disabled" + " " +
                       "ui-state-disabled")
                   .attr("aria-disabled", value);
               }
   
               this._trigger(key + 'Change', null, {
                   val: value
               });
   
               return this;
           },
   

I've probably not thought about this is the context of all widgets but it's just a thought.

Cheers,
Rich
