Re: [Pharo-project] Is there a simple example of how to create a GUI form in Pharo or Squeak?

by Ben Coman

First, pharo-users is a better forum for such questions. That said, I recently used Polymorph for the first time. I found Laurent Laffont's Pharocast [2] a good tutorial.

Re: [Pharo-project] on blockclosure currying

by SebastiÃ¡n Krynski

Esteban, thanks for your answer.. I think i need to dynamically create a block which accepts exactly n parameters , so that the new block would behave as expected. Is that possible ? Is that what you had in mind? 2012/12/25 Esteban A.

You can use #valueWithArguments: or #valueWithPossibleArgs: instead of using #value:value:value: numArgs instVar might be your friend in what you want to achieve.

[Pharo-project] on blockclosure currying

by SebastiÃ¡n Krynski

Hey there, I' ve been thinking about possible implementations for adding curryfication to block closures. Here's how it would be used, following by the implementation. addBinary := [:p1 :p2 | p1 + p2] . add3 := addBinary curry: 3. add3 curry: 5. 8 BlockClosure >> curry: aParameter (numArgs = 0) ifTrue: [Error signal.]. (numArgs = 1) ifTrue: [^ self value: aParameter.]. (numArgs = 2) ifTrue: [ ^ [:p1 | self value: aParameter value: p1] ]. (numArgs = 3) ifTrue: [ ^ [:p1 :p2 | self value: aParameter value: p1 value: p2] ]. (numArgs = 4) ifTrue: [ ^ [:p1 :p2 :p3 | self value: aParameter value: p1 value: p2 value: p3] ]. Yes, I know the implementation works only for a fixed number of arguments. Any ideas on how to dynamically create a block with an arbitary number of parameters.? Maybe creating the source code string and compiling it? Basically I 'd like to create this block : ^ [:p1 .. :pn | self value: aParameter value: p1 ... value: pn ] Thanks, Seba

Hi, two good sources of information on GUI building are http://www.pharocasts.com/2011/02/pharo-gui-with-polymorph.html?utm_source=… http://book.pharo-project.org/book/LanguageAndLibraries/GUI/?_s=yllsSvKBo5c… They're not that hard to find (if you are aware of the Collab book and the pharocasts).
