[Pharo-project] vw inspired gui tool
Folks, Attached is a very simple gui tool inspired from a tool that used to exist in VW smalltalk years ago. I suspect it could be rewritten as a single function. Please incorporate into Pharo if you think it's useful. Steve
Hi steve what is the difference with the explorer. If you want to have flash just send us a new menu for explorer? Stef On May 15, 2009, at 8:46 PM, Steve Wirts wrote:

Stef, Only submorphs, the gui hierarchy are shown, this is a really useful capability when trying to understand deeply nested complex gui structures. I suppose we could put a toggle button on a menu option on explorer to turn on differernt tree-paths to show as the sub-children. I will try to do that. thanks steve On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 3:33 PM, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr

Yes this would be great. I think that this is important to get better tools not more tools :) Stef On May 15, 2009, at 10:17 PM, Steve Wirts wrote:

Stephane, I've done another go round with this, let me know if this is closer to what you are thinking. Thanks Steve On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 4:34 PM, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr

But the OT inspectors (regular inspector and chasing inspector) allow for one to provide custom inspectors on a class by class basis (even the ability to provide multiple views)... If that's what you're getting at, I can give you more information about what it takes to extend the inspector. Dale
Dale, I'd like to provide a new checkbox on a menu item for the Explorer tool, only if the root is a Morph. The checkbox (if enabled) would set the explorer tree to be only child morphs, not all properties. Then a slightly different menu that would include flash, explore, insepect, browse hierarchy. I'm sure I could figure something out and getting it working but probably wouldn't do it properly the first go round. Any hints at where to start would be usefull. Thanks. steve On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 4:44 PM, Dale Henrichs <dale.henrichs@gemstone.com>wrote:
