printString usage in Magma

Dear all,

We're using Magma to develop an app; in the gui we're sometimes using anObject printString to show the default properties of an object. I've noticed that if Magma has a proxy in its place, it prints anObject instead of the printString I defined on that class.

Looking at the definition of MAProxyObject, that seems logical that Magma does that.

I will define my own own method to print these default properties of the class? I suppose printString is regarded as a 'textual description', but not to print info to the end user? I come from a Java world there you have the toString() method, is this analogous to the printString in Squeak?

Thanks for any advice,

Kind Regards,

Bart
