If you want to react to LostMouseFocus do it like that self eventListener: #LostMouseFocus Then this is just great. So a comment is not only about what the class does but how to use it.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Spec Experience in Need for Feedback :)

by stepharo

Hi nicolai I agree. I will have a look at the Calipso experience of Alain. Because may be Calipso + Spec layout format would be much nicer. Did you look at it? Alain just brainstormed but this is interesting for thinking. Stef What I hate also is that the AbstractApdate>>update: aSymbol self changed: aSymbol This is a bit terrible because the adpater should not exist at runtime and adapter should just encapsulate how to create and set the communication between the model and the view. Now it is in the middle and this is not good. stef Le 8/2/16 11:31, Nicolai Hess a Ã©crit : > > > 2016-02-08 10:37 GMT+01:00 stepharo <stepharo(a)free.fr > <mailto:stepharo@free.fr>>: > > Hi guys > > I should say that I'm sick (gift from my little boy) so may be > this is obvious. > > I'm looking at the code of Spec and I hate this code :) > > widgetDo: aBlock > > ^ self widget ifNotNil: aBlock > > > I do not see why widgetDo: has to test for nil > So I transformed > > widgetDo: aBlock > > ^ self widget ifNotNil: aBlock > > into > > > widgetDo: aBlock > > ^ aBlock cull: self widget > > BTW I hate all the cull: call.
