Disabled for pn.WidgetBox

[ahuang11]

Would be nice to be able to set disabled=True on all the widgets inside a WidgetBox

pn.WidgetBox.disabled = True

Neat idea. Happy to accept a PR for that, basically you'd define something like:

@param.depends('disabled', watch=True)
def _disable_widgets(self):
    for obj in self:
        if isinstance(obj, Widget):
            obj.disabled = self.disabled

additionally any methods that allow adding a new widget or replacing an existing one would have to toggle the disabled state.

Should all Layouts have a disabled property and not just WidgetBox?

I'd prefer not to, WidgetBox is clearly meant for widgets an option that's a no-op for most contents of a Row/Column doesn't seem good to me.
