Send a "global" keystroke from code
by Rob Rothwell 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

Hello-- I am playing around with a serial port barcode scanner. The SerialPort class is pretty straightforward and I can read the input, but is there a way to then turn that input string into keystrokes that would just be sent to the active window in Squeak? All I really want to do is start a task that watches for serial input and simulates "global" keystrokes as if the user was typing. I imagine the answer to this question will greatly enhance my understanding of events in Squeak...! Thanks, Rob -- The foolish reject what they see, not what they think; the wise reject what they think, not what they see. -- Huang Po

Hi, I am interested in learning about expert systems with Squeak. I read that Smalltalk was used for writing this type of software. Is there any program available in Squeak? Thanks and regards Ulli

feed pages directly to Scamper
by Jerry Muelver 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

I can point Scamper to a URL or a file, I know. But, can I just feed a string with HTML page code directly to Scamper, like dumping text into a control? And if so, can I intercept browser responses from Scamper (link selections, form submissions) and act on them? Think of a courseware presentation system using Scamper as the interface. ---- Jerry Muelver

Dear Squeakers, welcome to the The Weekly Squeak Summary, a weekly report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the Weekly Squeak blog. It's been another quiet week. Still, there is a highlight that affects most of us. VOTE! - http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2006/11/15/vote/ The upcoming Squeak Foundation board elections require the community's participation. That is, not only should everybody cast their vote, but they also ought to think about the candidates can be interrogated with regard to their particular views on a board membership. A catalogue of questions is to be posted on the Weekly Squeak blog. Please contribute! Here's the summary of the other three news items that we've had. 1. Magma Interview with Chris Muller - http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2006/11/15/magma-interview-with-chris-mul… The Magma OODB system's creator, Chris Muller, has been interviewed by the ODBMS Journal. The aspects covered in the interview range from Magma's development and optimisation to its usage. The interview is available as an MP3 stream. 2. Deploying Seaside - http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2006/11/17/deploying-seaside/ A recent thread on the Seaside mailing list discusses in detail how to deploy a Seaside application. Amongst others, there is information about image versions to use, and running images in headless mode (but connected to a VNC server for remote administration). 3. Squeak in Extremadura - http://weeklysqueak.wordpress.com/2006/11/17/squeak-in-extremadura/ This one is a nice almost 20 minute-long video on how the Extremadura region in Spain is using Squeak in education.

including Traits in Squeak 3.9g ?
by Warakorn Paphrawat 19 Nov '06

19 Nov '06

Hi ! I would like to work with Traits in Squeak 3.9g, too. The current VM and Image run very stabble. The Traits researcher form Bern provide an image 3.9a where Traits are included. But this image is terribly unstable and I am accustomed now to 3.9g. I want to port the Traits functionality to Squeal 3.9g. How can I do that ? The thing is, I read that Traits are included in Squeak 3.9g. I can find the Trait classes and categories. But I cannot create Traits...the Browser doesn't recognize the term Trait oder named or fromClass e.g. Trait named: #TsomeTrait fromClass: someClass uses: {something} category: 'some_category' SqueakMap always complains when I want to install Traits. I read sth. about loading .mcz files, but the FileList Browser doesn't let me to load. What can I do to make it work ? --------------------------------- Sponsored Link $200,000 mortgage for $660/mo - 30/15 yr fixed, reduce debt, home equity - Click now for info

Video question
by Andrew Burton 18 Nov '06

18 Nov '06

Is there a "standard" format for video in the Squeak community? I noticed that most of the Croquet videos were in Quicktime format, and I wasn't sure if that carried over to here as well. I ask, because I put together a small video about building a simple calculator in Squeak, but it's in the WMV format. Is that acceptable? Thanks. Also, if anyone's interested, here's the video: http://profnano.org/code/squeak/Squeak_SimpleCalc.wmv -- Andrew Burton tuglyraisin(a)aol.com http://utilitarian.us - A Guide to Esoteric Technology in Paragon City http://jarodrussell.livejournal.com/ - Take a guess. ;)
