<div class="Ih2E3d"></div></blockquote><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Thanks...some "light reading" for a Sunday afternoon! How hard do you think it would be to use the OmniBrowser model to hook up to non-morphic views? I am exploring the idea of a web-based design layout tool for web development (using Aida), and the next logical step is to create a browser in a prototype-ui window or something that would let you wire your model to the design on the page.</div>

finished soon.</blockquote><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>You know, this is a great time to be new to Squeak. There is an awful lot of good work going on out there. I always thought I was a decent programmer, just not world class! But, as in the example above, much of the "heavy lifting" has been done already, and the problem I describe may be just hard enough to be interesting to me, but actually doable thanks to the work of others!</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">First, create a subclass of OBCommand. Then you need to implement at least the<br>
methods #execute, #label and #isActive (have a look at eg. OBCmdNewClassTemplate).<br>
Finally, you can add a method called eg. 'cmdAIDATemplate' to OBCodeBrowser or a<br>
subclass of it. It is important that this method starts with 'cmd'. When you then<br>
start a new system browser, the command should be available (if #isActive answers<br>
true for the selected class).</blockquote><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Thanks for this. It seems very modular and easy to extend (based on your description)! I'll give it a shot! </div><div>
