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!

Bye Torsten
