Dynamically set the state of UIElements according to some state ?

As I needed to dynamically enable/disable elements of my UI according to some state, e.g button X shall be enabled only if Y == Z; I ended up writing the following which works surprisingly well:

Code (CSharp):

1. scheduler
2. .Execute(s => _baseDirectoryBrowseButton.SetEnabled(HasMaterial))
3. .Forever();

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using JetBrains.Annotations;
3.  
4. // ReSharper disable once CheckNamespace
5. namespace UnityEngine.UIElements
6. {
7.     // ReSharper disable once InconsistentNaming
8.     public static class IVisualElementScheduledItemExtensions
9.     {
10.         /// <summary>
11.         ///     Repeats this action forever.
12.         /// </summary>
13.         /// <param name="item"></param>
14.         /// <returns></returns>
15.         /// <exception cref="ArgumentNullException"></exception>
16.         public static IVisualElementScheduledItem Forever([NotNull] this IVisualElementScheduledItem item)
17.         {
18.             if (item == null)
19.                 throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(item));
20.  
21.             return item.Until(() => false);
22.         }
23.     }
24. }

So this is a pseudo-mix of INotifyPropertyChanged and binding which just works but I'm not sure about the performance if used heavily.

Any thoughts ?

 

Alright, I'll just continue that way until it blows up
