Hi, two good sources of information on GUI building are http://www.pharocasts.com/2011/02/pharo-gui-with-polymorph.html?utm_source=B... http://book.pharo-project.org/book/LanguageAndLibraries/GUI/?_s=yllsSvKBo5cv... They're not that hard to find (if you are aware of the Collab book and the pharocasts). You might want to check out Glamour also, http://www.themoosebook.org/book/internals/glamour Fernando On Mon, Dec 24, 2012 at 11:22 AM, Frank Church <vfclists@gmail.com> wrote:
Is there a simple example of how to create a GUI form in Pharo or Squeak?
I want to accomplish a simple task with a form:
1. Create a form with a button and edit control and 2 text areas.
2. Enter a value into the edit control.
3. Run a database query using the value in the edit control as a parameter and return the results in text area 1
4. Run a shell script using the value in the edit control as a parameter and return the results in text area 2
I have OpenDBX running successfully and I don't think using OSProcess and CommandShell will be that difficult.
Creating the form is the part I don't know how to accomplish.
I have done some searching and there seems to be a surprising dearth of info on how to create a simple GUI from scratch using Pharo or Squeak.
