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

The Weekly Squeak Summary No. 22: Dec 27, 2010 - Jan 30, 2011
by Michael Haupt 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Dear Squeakers, welcome to this edition of The WeeklySqueakSummary, an (in principle) monthly but somewhat traffic-dependent report on what's going on in the world of Squeak based on the WeeklySqueak blog. The past month only saw three posts in the blog, but each single one of them is a highlight in itself. Sean P. DeNigris has achieved something that brings a bit of the multimedia spirit of Squeak 3.8 back to recent images: movies can be played again [1]! Sean backported QuickTime support from Sophie. *Thanks!* The lean-and-mean (more lean than mean) Squeak offspring called Cuis has been released in version 3.0 [2], and I wonder whether the Morphic enhancements this system supports aren't actually worthwhile for inclusion in Squeak proper ... Microsoft's Kinect remote control is now also supported in Squeak [3], and this was brought to us by Ricardo Moran, who already did outstanding work on Physical Etoys. The past month's news items: [1] Bringing Multimedia (back) to Squeak http://news.squeak.org/2011/01/06/bringing-multimedia-back-to-squeak/ [2] Cuis 3.0 released http://news.squeak.org/2011/01/15/cuis-3-0-released/ [3] Welcome to the Real World – Kinect in Squeak http://news.squeak.org/2011/01/21/welcome-to-the-real-world-kinect-in-squea… You can find this and much more on The WeeklySqueak blog, the newsblog dedicated to the world of Squeak: http://news.squeak.org/ Subscribe to the WeeklySqueak RSS feed: http://news.squeak.org/feed/ Happy squeaking, Michael

Button Wow Factor
by joe biggins 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Hi, Ive been writing a program using simpleButtonMorphs, now everything is working I am trying to tweek the look and feel. How do I get the same buttons as appear in the squeak dialogue boxes (the ones with the two shades of gray that change colour when you roll over them, instread of the plain old boring simpleButtomMorph? Can these other buttons be subtyped? (I have been subtyping the simpleButton to give me an extra finctionality) Many thanks

Re: [Newbies] Safe shut down

Interesting, I found this in a discussion on XSMP: Newer alternative sessions (GDM Greeter, OLPC Sugar) don't want to support XSMP http://live.gnome.org/SessionManagement/GnomeSession In any case I am looking into it.

You would have to modify the VM. If you do, great, we need that for OLPC too: http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-192 - Bert - _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners

Select the text just typed in
by plus852 19 Jan '11

Is there a command for selecting the text just typed in? Historically in ST-80 pressing the Escape key selected the text typed since the last mouse click -- is there something similar for Squeak?

Odd desktop size
by joe biggins 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hi, I am using squeak 4.2. Ive written a program under linux, saved the image then opened the program in windows (again using squeak 4.2). The program works except the desktop is a different size. Under windows it looks as if the squeak desktop has zoomed in, and some of my lovingly placed morphs are hanging off the edge of the world! Is this a known problem, is there anything I can do about it (ie make the squeak desktop size the same under Windows the same as under linux. Just to make sure is wasn't the machines I have checked the resolutions on both machines, it definitely seems to be a squeak thing rather than a windows vs linux thing Many thanks PS Ive been using squeak now for about 2 months and I am totally in love! Why isn't it taught in every university? why isn't this the no1 skill employers / software companies are looking for, it is quite frankly, amazing
