Is there a tandard way to attach context menus
by Herbert König 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hello all, is there a standard way to attach a context menu to a morph? It's fairly easy to do by checking for yellowButtonPressed and manually firing up a MenuMorph. But it is sufficient to implement #addCustomMenuItems:hand: to get an enhanced Halo menu while #addYellowButtonMenuItemsTo:event: and #hasYellowButtonMenu don't help. So is there a predefined way without everybody doing his own? Thanks, Herbert mailto:herbertkoenig@gmx.net

Omnibrowser help
by Rob Rothwell 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

Are there some tips/documentation somewhere on getting the most out of the OmniBrowser? The MulitpleSelection browser looks interesting (sort of like the tabbed browser in VisualWorks), but I don't quite understand its behaviour and what method it decides to show in which pane when you move around or save changes. On the same topic, can anyone point me toward how I could add a new item to the class context menu in the OmniBrowser? I want to add a new template selection menu item (like "new class template" and "new trait template") because I have created a method that creates TWO classes at the same time for an Aida application (A domain model class AND its associated WebApp class). Thanks, Rob Rothwell

Resources with Monticello
by Matthias Korn 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hi all, how does one work with resources (e.g. image files (GIFs, ...)) used in the application when working with Monticello and in general? Right now I have them on my hard drive and they are read live into Squeak when they are needed. Of course, others don't have the files at hand when working in a distributed fashion. What are the best practices in regard of distribution/packaging as well as performance?

MonticelloBrowser question
by Ch Lamprecht 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hello, could anybody help me to understand, how to use MonticelloBrowser? (Working with 3.9 #7067) I read SBE and it says: " The right-hand pane lists all of the source-code repositories that Monticello knows about, usually because it has loaded code from them. If you select a package in the left pane, the right pane is filtered to show only those repositories that contain versions of the selected package." However, I don't see that happen. If I select e.g. OmniBrowser in the left pane, the list in the right pane is reduced to a local path on my filesystem (the package-cache). But if I deselect all in the left pane to see all the repositories in the right pane, then select 'http://source.wiresong.ca/ob' and open the repository I get a browser containing lots of newer version of OmniBrowser (and other packages). Now these repository browsers always take some time to load and I have to check different repositories by hand to find the latest version. What is the right way to search (and update) to the latest release of a package? Thanks for your help, Christoph

Customizing the IDE
by Daniel Klein 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

Hi, First post to this list. I'm currently reading the 'Squeak by Example' book with the goal of being able to do some Morphic stuff. Anyway, I get the impression that everything in the image at my fingertips. So what if I want to add something to one of the context menus, or find out what message gets sent to invoke a menu entry so that I can run it directly in a workspace, or change the order of the objects in one of the flaps, etc. What are the steps to go about finding out where this stuff is in the image?

Controlling cursor by sound
by Martin Bleichner 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hello everybody, some years ago I spend some time with learning squeak. But I forgot most of it and now I wondered whether squeak would be of help with a specific problem. Would it possible to control elements by sound? Some basic form of voice control. (it would be sufficient to decide between sound and no sound, with some kind of threshold) E.g. I have an ellipse and I would like to have a construction like Test Ellipse hears sound Yes Ellipse turn by 90 No Ellipse forward 5 Is there a straight forward solution, or does this requires some deeper digging ? Thanks a lot Martin
