There is #pendingText to access it, finally found that. Now I want to detect when someone starts typing and do actions (like disable something until the text is accepted). There is��whenTextChanged: but it���s not that useful because it checks if the accepted text has changed. Is there a way to check if pendingCode has changed? Or if the model is entering ���hasUnacceptedEdits���?

Cool. Thank you Nicolai. While we are on this, is there an example of how to display the parsing/compilation error as is done in playground?

Hi,

at some moment I wrote a super angry comment about Spec. But as there is a big effort put into documentation & improving the framework I���ve decided to give it another try.

And guess what, after 10 min I ran into yet one more problem. I was expecting that it will be tough to have a custom styling for code, but no it���s much simpler: how do I get a text from text model? I type something in, sent #getText to the model => nothing. I expect that the problem is that the text is not accepted��� Why in the first place a basic text model needs this ���accept��� stuff? What if I have just a dialog where someone types something and submits it? I don���t need accepts with orange corners for that.

textmodel autoAccept: true.

I think that you���ve got the idea. I just want to build a simple UI and it looks like it���s easier to do it with Morphic���

Cheers.

But I agree, it is not *that* obvious and I think the behavior even changed as we replaced the PluggableTextMorph with Rubric ones - (maybe?)

Anyway, maybe we need a way to distinguish between

- get visible text (view get text?)

and

- get accepted text (model get text?)
