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

Given: | binnum index bool| binnum := 'abc'. index := 1. bool:=(binnum at: index). (bool = 'a') ifTrue: [Transcript show: 'ifTrue'; cr] ifFalse: [Transcript show: 'ifFalse'; cr]. Transcript show: bool; cr. Why does this result in: ifFalse a and not ifTrue a I've tried both = and == with no success. Any help is much appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/ifTrue-ifFalse-help-tp3477318p3477318.html Sent from the Squeak - Beginners mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

UI Reading In Text Field Input
by calcrisk33 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

I am at the moment putting together a simple UI with Morphic Designer. I am struggling to find a way to read in user input. For example: A user inputs a string/number into a text field then presses a button --> how do I print this to Transcript or save the user input to a variable. I am familiar with Java but can not wrap my head around this. Any help or a snippet of code would be much appreciated!

Yerterday the dead line for submissions of our interactive art project were closed, so I decided to send a "Digital Distopia: a biography of an unfinished project" as my project.

Naming a project
by Gary Dunn 26 Apr '11

The only way I have found to name a project is to back out of it and name the thumbnail. Is there a way to name the current project without backing out of it? Gary Dunn Open Slate Project http://openslate.org

Where is Method Finder in Squeak 4.2?
by Sharon Tuttle 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Where is Method Finder in Squeak 4.2? It used to exist when I used Squeak two years ago for a short time, and now I still see references to it on the web, but I am having trouble finding information about how to actually *reach* it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated -- thanks! -- Sharon Tuttle -- Sharon M.
