Hi,
I've just tried to replace part of OB-Morphic (the framework to build OmniBrowser interfaces using Morphic) by UIManager.
It worked for:
OBMorphicPlatform>>handleChoiceRequest: request | choice | choice := (PopUpMenu labelArray: request labels lines: request lines) startUpWithCaption: request prompt. ^ request values at: choice ifAbsent: [nil]
I replace it by:
OBMorphicPlatform>>handleChoiceRequest: request ^ UIManager default chooseFrom: request labels values: request values lines: request lines title: (request prompt ifNil: [''])
But how can I change
OBMorphicPlatform>>handleConfirmationRequest: request ^ PopUpMenu confirm: request prompt trueChoice: request okChoice falseChoice: request cancelChoice
There is no such method in UIManager.
And this one:
OBMorphicPlatform>>handleTextRequest: request ^ FillInTheBlankMorph request: request prompt initialAnswer: request template centerAt: Sensor cursorPoint inWorld: World onCancelReturn: nil acceptOnCR: true
There is no way of returning nil on Cancel. The empty string is always returned.

This is not the same thing. With the other method, there are 2 buttons with coloured icons. This looks more like a confirmation dialog.

There is a difference if the user really wants an empty string so this does not work either.

On the Squeak's that I have easily access to, it is the same, bit for bit. It also seems strange that PopUpMenu would offer a confirm dialog with horizontal buttons (the whole idea of PopUpMenu is to present a vertical arrangement of choices).

Well, I guess then you have a problem. There is currently no alternative available in UIManager; it's either that or nothing.

You are perfectly right. I don't know what I was looking at when I saw these two horizontal buttons.
However, there is a #confirm: method on UIManager, would be cool to have a #confirm:yesLabel:noLabel: too. In this case, there are two horizontal buttons

That's why my post was titled 'Improving ToolBuilder'. Is there a way of changing ToolBuilder?

Yes. You can create an issue for this on http://bugs.squeak.org/ under the ToolBuilder category. You can assign it to me (mikevdg) if you want.
Andreas: do you mind if I become a developer of ToolBuilder?
Gulik.
