Trouble while defining a customized tab in GT inspector
Hi all, I try to play with the GT inspector (thx Andrei and Doru for the great hands on session @ ESUG'14!). In short, I try to add a customized tab for Persons objects using a PersonUI facade and a subclass of GTObjectVariablesBrowser (ok I can explain why if needed ;-)). Like that: Person>>gtInspectorCustomUIIn: composite <gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 5> ^ (composite custom: (MyGTCustomObjectVariablesBrowser new startOn: (PersonUI on: self) )) " <----- HERE" title: 'Customized view'; yourself But, the #variableValuePairsFor: message is not sent to the PersonUI object but to the Person object even if I passed a PersonUI one to the #startOn: method (cf. HERE). startOn: seems to not store properly the object to use afterwards or I missed a something. Did I? please find a code sample attached if needed. Try: Person new inspect Thx for any hint, Cheers, #Luc
Hi, Sorry for the late reply. Indeed the ObjectVariablesBrowser does not work with another object then the one of the tab. If you want to define a custom tab, you should simply create a table with the desired variables. For example, take a look at Morph>>gtInspectorMorphExtensionIn:. This one exposes the extensions dictionary as a separate tab. It probably matches what you want. Let me know if you still have troubles.

Hi Doru, Thanks for your answer. It worked as you suggested, but I had to copy three methods of ObjectVariablesBrowser (evaluatorIn:, printStringOf: and stringWithoutInitialCommentFrom:) to reproduce the evaluator part of the tab. I am not really happy with that but perhaps there is no other way. I still think that the startOn: method of ObjectVariablesBrowser should not loose the object passed in. Any explanation why an ObjectVariablesBrowser cannot be "pluggable"? Cheers, Luc 2014-11-01 21:15 GMT+01:00 Tudor Girba <tudor@tudorgirba.com>:
