Antwort: Re: Antwort: Re: [Newbies] closing/deleting a morph and dependents

[Dietmar Schielke]

Thank for your links. I'll try to dig further into it.

A first look into SwitchMorph raises a first question in me:

When you call addDependent: should'nt be there a corresponding 
removeDependent: in the code?

Maybe connection: should first call removeDependent: for the old 
connection before setting a new connection?
Further, then I delete a SwitchMorph maybe  it should also disconnect from 
its's connections?

Like

connection: anObject 
"Set anObject to be the connection among two or more Switches. Make the 
receiver a dependent of the argument, anObject."
connection ifNotNil: [ connection removeDependent: self ].    " THIS IS 
NEW"
connection _ anObject.
connection addDependent: self

I understand better now.
It's really a good start point for doing a tutorial.
I don't have time as 3.10 monopolize all I get, try to find some student 
for
do it.

In the time, I have my very old tutorial
http://ar.geocities.com/edgardec2001/LogicCircus1.html
see pict of finished project at:
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5991

Is my bad use of  Fabrik Dan idea  for connecting and passing actions
between morphic objects.

If think this could be useful , I have ready to load in any Squeak , could
send or put somewhere.
