[UI] how to find button action target?

[Damien Cassou]

Do know what is being executed:

- use the third mouse button to display the allows of the dialog
- press this button again until the button is selected (you will see
PluggableButtonMorphPlus at the bottom line of the halos)
- press the 'wrench' button on the right (named 'debug')
- select 'explore morph'
- click on the '+' sign to unfold
- the 'model' property tells you where the message will be sent (an
instance of TextEntryDialogWindow)
- the 'actionSelector' property tells you that the message is #ok.

So, #ok will be sent to an instance of TextEntryDialogWindow. You can
now browse TextEntryDialogWindow, right click on the class, open '
Protocol browser'. Select '--all--', in the method list select 'ok'.
You will see that the #ok method is implemented in the DialogWindow
class a superclass of TextEntryDialogWindow.

Have a nice day
