[Pharo-project] we need more objects!
No more HandMorph taking care of everything! I found a use case for the reification of the user interface in Gaucho. In Gaucho, i have a user interface, which has attached peripherals: such as displays, mouse, keyboard, etc... And each peripheral takes care of the proper event, dispatched by the user interface ( which receives the VM events). With this scheme, you have more flexibility because you can plug/unplug peripheral devices as needed. For example, i'm coding a Gaucho Login Display. that presents the available sessions . I decided to use only keyboard based navigation, so to disable the mouse i simply unplug the mouse from the user interface ( as opposed to hack my way around HandMorph or PasteUpMorph). GauchoDisplayLogin>> initializeAttachedTo: aGUserInterface | mouse | super initializeAttachedTo: aGUserInterface. mouse := userInterface peripheralDeviceNamed: #mouse. mouse notNil ifTrue:[ mouse dettach ].

Fernando, Is that arquitecture enable the possibility of testing an UI application? i.e. is it possible to feed the application with fake events and wait for the results? Thanks On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 10:26 PM, Fernando Olivero <fernando.olivero@usi.ch>wrote:

That seems like a rather beautiful idea. Please do share more when/if you have more to say :). Mark On 20 Apr 2012, at 02:26, Fernando Olivero wrote:

fernando now we should find a path to slowly changing the system to incorporate some of your changes. Because we cannot rewrite everything as you did (at least I cannot :)). Stef On Apr 20, 2012, at 3:26 AM, Fernando Olivero wrote:
