Hi All.
I want to dynamically build a drop-down menu in Seaside based on the instance side methods I have in a class.
#MyClass has method categories: "Attributes Links Paragraph....etc" Under Method category Links are methods #testLinkCategory, testLinkExternal, testLink....etc.
I have been hunting for over an hour and I see no obvious way to retrieve this info (I have found a way to get all the methods, but not the category that houses them.
The code I have in mind has form:
*categories := categoriesFor: #MyClass.
categories do:[:cat | |methods| methods := methodForClass:#MyClass category: cat. methods do:[:m | "dynamically build my html here" ]]l*
Any help much appreciated.
thx

Have you looked at the Seaside sample code for the WABrowser? On some Seaside images it will be registered at tools/classbrowser by default. I believe it uses a normal Browser as its model, so that's where to go to find out what's actually going on in the background.

Have you looked at ClassOrganizer and ClassDescription?

Hi Tim,
Thank you for the reply.
I was able to get the data by middle clicking on the Browser pane displaying the data and inspecting the model.
I then hand tweaked it, so my immediate task is solved.
I did look at a ClassOrganizer and ClassDescription but I keep getting nothing for what look like obvious candidates.
For example:
*WikitextParserFactory allMethodCategoriesIntegratedThrough:WikitextParserFactory
WikitextParserFactory whichCategoryIncludesSelector:#testTableCaption
*both return nada.

I just realized that I am trying to get Class side methods.
I have no Instance side methods.
Interesting!
I am going to change my WikitextParserFactory to a Singleton and move all the methods to Instanced side.
bet it will work then.
cheers!

Thanks to all for the pointers.
Here is what I came up with. To get all the categories, remove the "reject:" block
Transcript clear. (((WikitextParserFactory allMethodCategoriesIntegratedThrough:WikitextParserFactory) sorted) reject:[:r | |oc| oc := OrderedCollection with:#accessing with: #'initialize-release' with: #parsing with: #'Templates Bogus'. oc includes:r]) do:[:c |
(WikitextParserFactory packageInfo methodsInCategory: c ofClass:WikitextParserFactory) do:[:m | Transcript show: c , ' -> ', m methodSymbol; cr. ]].
cheers.
