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

Keyboard shortcuts in squeak (pharo)
by sserre 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hello, Normaly, I use vim or emacs and find usefull to not use the mouse when I code. I did not find any reference to the shortcuts used to manage windows, class browther ect, in Pharo. It should exist, some of them are show when I right clic (save, doit, printit...), but google did not help me to find more. Some shortcuts that I will find very usefull migth permit: - to change the window focus (change windows) - move between the parts of the class browser (packages, classes[instaces, ?, class, hierarchy, variables...], categories, methods, edition), - close tools, open tools (class browser, transcript, workspace...) There maybe exist an alternative class browser/editor that will permit such things? Shortly, does anyone have the same horror of rats than me :), and what solutions have you found? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to do UDP multicasting with Squeak? If so, does anyone have a small example? Cheers Andy

Hi, I am using squeak 4.1. Ive put Preferences disableProgrammerFacilities in my World menu, done it, confirmed it and saved to a new image name, all that has happened is that the keyboard commands have stopped but the Halo and debugger are still alive and kicking! Could anyone tell me how to disable the halo, and the flaps. Many thanks

Re-newbie
by Aidan Gauland 30 Dec '10

Hello Squeakers, It's been over a year since I last used Squeak, so I have some new newbie questions (as well as some old ones that I never really found an answer to) that I have not been able to find an answer to on the web. 1) How do I use/manage ChangeSets effectively? (I never really understood them.) 2) Why has Tweak not replaced Morphic in Squeak? 3) In what ways is Pharo a fork and not just yet another Squeak image? 4) Should I use Cog or just stick with the official Squeak VM from squeakvm.org 5) Why is there a changes file if the image itself is modified? Thanks, Aidan

Modifying world size?
by Casey Ransberger 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

I'd like to have worlds that are bigger than the screen, wherein the user can scroll about using a floating desktop pager, a la Self's demo snapshot. I've tried changing e.g., the height of the world, but it seems to snap right back. Anyone know what's doing that? -- Casey Ransberger

The Weekly Squeak Summary No. 21: Feb 1, 2009 - Dec 26, 2010
by Michael Haupt 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

Dear Squeakers, welcome to this edition of The WeeklySqueakSummary, an irregular traffic-dependent report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the WeeklySqueak blog. This time, almost a year has passed since the last edition. Why is that? Things got off my mind a bit, which I apologise for, but also, there hasn't been too much traffic on The Weekly Squeak: for a blog with that name, 34 posts in 11 months are less than weekly. And why is *that*? However it may be: the Pratchett-style "I ATEN'T DEAD" sticker is not yet required to make sure people don't get things wrong (there are rumours ...), but couldn't the community do better in terms of bringing developments to public attention? If you have an interesting project that you are about to release, or if you want to convey anything else of relevance, drop the news team a note via the contact information available at http://news.squeak.org/write-us/. Anyway! Highlights of the past year (sigh): People can rejoice in new releases of Squeak [8], Seaside [25], and Etoys [27]. Documentation is enriched by another book on Seaside [3], and a whole bunch of video tutorials [9]. Underlying technology is advancing, with the Cog VM (Squeak on a JIT compiler!) [18], and the (still experimental but very promising) RoarVM which makes Squeak scale on multicores [30] (imagine those two getting married). Finally, there is - among other things, but at last - a UI builder for Morphic [32]. Two successful conferences have been held; Squeakfest at the University of North Carolina [12], ESUG in Barcelona [26], and Smalltalks in Buenos Aires [31]. Argentina seems to be steadily developing into something like the hot plate of Smalltalk technology. It looks like a successful year, doesn't it?
