[Newbies] Just playin' around

[Nicola Mingotti]

I am a beginner, like you, and I learnt how to bind buttons to actions 
from the Workspace a few days ago :)

So, here is a minimal working snippet. Run one line at a time for best 
fun. First line is only to clean already existing widgets. I did not put 
the Layout stuff to keep things as easy/nice as possible.

--------------------
"Run this line to clean up and restart testing. Not useful on first run "
s delete. bp delete. bm delete.

s := StringMorph new.
s openInWorld .
s contents: '0'.
s position: 100 at 100.

bp := SimpleButtonMorph new.
bp openInWorld .
bp label: 'Plus-1'.
bp position: 150 at 100.

bm := SimpleButtonMorph new.
bm openInWorld .
bm label: 'Minus-1'.
bm position: 250 at 100.

"------ Add actions to buttons ------------ "
bp target: [ s contents: (s contents asInteger + 1) asString ].
bp actionSelector: #value.

bm target: [ s contents: (s contents asInteger - 1) asString ].
bm actionSelector: #value.

--------------------

bye
Nicola
