I have a Form (for use as a button) that I would like to serialize in a way that allows me to keep it as text in a method. I would like to do this the simplest way possible, optimizing for speed (not space.) Ideally it would look as much like this as possible:<br>
<br>
Foo>>someIcon<br>
^ #( ... ) asForm<br>
<br>
What's the best way to do this?<br>

Create your form, then send #storeString to it. It will answer a Smalltalk expression that recreates the form. Then just answer that expression from your #someIcon method. OmniBrowser has a few examples of this in the class OBMorphicIcons.<br>
