At some point we should have a UI builder with specs like in vw. I should do a little proto to show how it can work and that people understand the value and help but I want to finish rpackage and bootstrap first Stef
Hi!
There is this method:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= UIManager>>multiLineRequest: queryString centerAt: aPoint initialAnswer: defaultAnswer answerHeight: answerHeight "Create a multi-line instance of me whose question is queryString with the given initial answer. Invoke it centered at the given point, and answer the string the user accepts. Answer nil if the user cancels. An empty string returned means that the ussr cleared the editing area and then hit 'accept'. Because multiple lines are invited, we ask that the user use the ENTER key, or (in morphic anyway) hit the 'accept' button, to submit; that way, the return key can be typed to move to the next line."
self deprecated: 'Use multiLineRequest: queryString centerAt: aPoint initialAnswer: defaultAnswer answerHeight: ' on: '7 September 2011' in: 'Pharo1.4'. ^self subclassResponsibility -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Apparently, the deprecation message says to use this very method. Which method should I use? Shall I open an entry?
i really wonder why such things are there? UI manager has to provide a simple interface, without any sophisticated stuff, like multiline/multibutton etc. Lets stop bloating the interface, it leads nowhere.
