The button inherits from three-phase button and, for "compatability" also does not call the Morph method for mouseDown (except when disabled). That is why the event is never triggered.
Most morphs of the pluggable variety expect to work with proper model objects, not always easy with a (potentially dynamic) collection. Perhaps an intermediate model would be appropriate for each checkbox that holds the selection state and end-model (some kind of "context" it seems from his original post). On state change an event could be triggered (preferred over change/update).
Perhaps he should be using radio buttons, given the implication of "one-of-many" (is the same class, just different appearance).

did you notice this strange behavior with checkboxes?
In this example, when you click on the check box, all the other checkboxes should be updated and selected. This works when you click on the checkbox label BUT NOT on the checkbox button.

=> this is a small exemple of my problem that you can run in your own image (also available in the class side of UITheme by merging the 'Polymorph-Widgets' package in the PharoInBox repository) :
exampleProblemUpdatingCheckboxes "little example to show the problem with the method #on:send:to:with for a CheckboxMorph : In this example, when you click on the check box, all the other checkboxes should be updated and selected. This works when you click on the checkbox label BUT NOT on the checkbox button. " "self exampleProblemUpdatingCheckboxes" | builder dialog checkboxes | checkboxes := OrderedCollection new. builder := ExampleBuilderMorph new. dialog := (builder newPluggableDialogWindow: 'Example :') useDefaultOKButton .
dialog contentMorph: ( dialog newGroupboxForAll: { checkboxes add: (dialog newCheckboxFor: (ValueHolder new contents: false) getSelected: #contents setSelected: #contents: label: '1' help: ''). checkboxes add: (dialog newCheckboxFor: (ValueHolder new contents: false) getSelected: #contents setSelected: #contents: label: '2' help: ''). checkboxes add: (dialog newCheckboxFor: (ValueHolder new contents: false) getSelected: #contents setSelected: #contents: label: '3' help: ''). } ); model: nil. checkboxes do: [:each | each on: #click send: #updateCheckboxes:a:b: to: self withValue: checkboxes ]. builder openModal: dialog.
=> and the method :
updateCheckboxes: collectionOfCheckboxes a:a b:b
collectionOfCheckboxes do: [:each | each buttonMorph selected: true].
2009/10/6 Igor Stasenko <siguctua@gmail.com> I'm a bit wonder, why you sending a #buttonMorph to checkbox morph, trying to intercept a messages? As to me this is a wrong approach, because you as a user of checkbox, should not care about its internals, and speak directly with checkbox public layer , but not with its internal components.
2009/10/6 Cyrille Delaunay <cy.delaunay@gmail.com>:
here is the code of the method creating the checkboxes: checkBoxes := OrderedCollection new. builder := ExampleBuilderMorph new. dialog := (builder newPluggableDialogWindow: 'Context to import :') useDefaultOKButton . dialog contentMorph: ( dialog newRow: { dialog newGroupboxForAll: (self allContexts collect: [:each | (checkBoxes add: (dialog newCheckboxFor: (ValueHolder new contents: (collectionWithItemsToCheck includes: each)) getSelected: #contents setSelected: #contents: label: each asString help: '') ). ]) } ); model: nil. checkBoxes do: [:each | each on: #click send: #updateDependenciesFor:i:a: to: self withValue: each label asString]. => That code make what I want when I click on the label, but with: checkBoxes do: [:each | each buttonMorph on: #click send: #updateDependenciesFor:i:a: to: self withValue: each label asString]. => nothing happen when I click on the checkbox button.

do you have a piece of code to illustrate your problem? Let me rephrase our discussions:
you can get the associated checkbox event (set by on: #click send: #amessage to: receiver) raised only when you click on the label but not on the tick.
And that checkbox buttonMorph on: #click send: #amessage to:
receiver,
is not working on click but checkbox buttonMorph on: #mouseDown send: #amessage to: receiver, is.

Hi,
Here is what I want to do:
- I have checkbox: ChekboxMorph new - A checkbox is made of a label and a button - I want to do a specific action when there is a mouse click
on the
button
For that:
- I saw that there is a method #on:send:to: in Morph with wich we can do:
checkbox on: #click send: #amessage to: receiver
Problem:
- when I do checkbox on: #click send: #amessage to: receiver, all is ok. - when I do checkbox buttonMorph on: #click send: #amessage to: receiver, to consider the click on the button, it doesn't work, the event is never handled (whereas #mouseDown for example is handled).
