Issue stream flowrate: all input boxes are active all the time about dwsim HOT 6 CLOSED

This is not an issue. The other boxes are also editable because you can set any of them at any time and DWSIM will calculate/update the other two.

@DanWBR Yes, it is not an issue, but one cannot understand which has been set and which has been calculated! If DWSIM somehow differentiates between the value entered by user and one calculated by DWSIM is better (even use different color like blue for inputs and black for calculated or other methods)! We have the same in Hysys, for example all flowrate (molar, mass, volumetric liquid) are editable as soon as you set one of them the other calculated and gray out!

Please see examples from Aspen Hysys 11 and Aspen Plus 11

Aspen Hysys Note that molar flow is blue and is the one entered by user

Aspen Plus The flow basis is set by user and only one inputbox is visible at a time

I really don't think that this would be an evolution for DWSIM, as in HYSYS you must delete the defined value in order to enable the other cells so they can be edited. In Aspen Plus this is even worse as you must select the flow basis before setting the flow. In DWSIM I'm highlighting the textbox for the defined flow while still keeping all of them active and ready to be edited by the user.

Daniel, Feel free to accept or reject proposals. If something is critical I will discuss it in more detail.

By the way here in this case: I am insisted to distinguish between the value given by user and the one is calculated, you may keep all of them editable.

This is how it looks in the current code, what do you think?

Great! This way I can realize the Mass flow was given bu user!

Just a minor comment, you should keep this consistent and that means all data are given by user shall follow the same rule.
