Hi Igor, thanks for adding me to the NativeBoost repo. I uploaded some basic samples for Win32 and adopted the config. In Pharo 2.0 one can load latest stable right from the world menu "Tools" -> ConfigurationBrowser" -> "NativeBoost" Here are some samples people can now play with: 1. Set the pharo window title NBWin32Window getFocus setWindowText: 'Set Pharo window title' 2. Access environment variables: NBWin32Shell getComputerName NBWin32Shell getUserName NBWin32Shell getWindowsDirectory NBWin32Shell getNumberOfProcessors ... 3. Access to control panel applets NBWin32Shell showODBCSettings NBWin32Shell showControlPanel ... 4. Open web pages, files, documents, ... NBWin32Shell shellBrowse: 'http://www.pharo-project.org' NBWin32Shell shellExplore: 'c:\' NBWin32Shell shellOpen: 'c:\pharo.pdf' ... 5. Lock workstation NBWin32Shell lockWorkstation 6. Sends a string to the debugger for display: NBWin32Shell outputDebugString: 'Trace me' These outputs can be viewed with dbmon.exe from Microsoft or DebugView http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx Have fun!
