I've been looking for #minExtent for about a year!!! I wrote up a little test that did just what you said: guts := SimpleObjectMessagesMorph on: Year. wSize := guts minExtent + 25. StandardWindow new addMorph: guts fullFrame: (LayoutFrame fractions: (0@0 corner: 1@1)); openInWorld; extent: guts minExtent.

Re: [Pharo-users] Shrink Wrapped Window

Hi, perhaps you could use a DialogWindow and just change initializeLabelArea to the standardwindow method. or if you want to use a standardwindow, you could put everything into a panel, put that panel into the standardwindow and use the panels minExtent, which does its layout thing, to set the extent of the standardwindow. werner

But maybe to an unknown number of python-, ruby-, tcl-, scheme- etc. -users principally interested in trying smalltalk, expecting that running a script should be as easy as python foo.py, ruby foo.rb, tcl foo.tcl.

Shrink Wrapped Window

by Sean P. DeNigris

I want a Window that shrinks to fit its contents, like a PluggableDialogWindow, but that has a title bar and buttons, like a Standard Window. Any ideas? Thanks.

But the question remains if the one-click needs this: once you are working at that level, I would consider you an advanced user combining its own images and vm's. BTW, I always use -vm-display-null and -vm-sound-null, because -headless does not always work, I am not sure what the preferred/official way is. > And another Question: > > is there a better way of forcing "pharo -headless" to quit, better than > writing "WorldState quitSession." in every script ? To start a server, it is more handy that there is no automatic quit. But for simple scripting thus is annoying, yes, Sven

pharo wrapper script suggestion and a question

by t olschewski

what do you think about modifiying the wrapper script pharo.sh (OneClick edition) slightly in order to alleviate scripting: a) pharo.sh: passing "$@" over to pharo: ... exec "$BASE/pharo" \ ... ... "$ROOT/Contents/Resources/pharo.image" \ "$@" b) making a second script, pharo-headless.sh: ... exec "$BASE/pharo" \ -headless \ ... ... "$ROOT/Contents/Resources/pharo.image" \ "$@" Test: pharo-headless anyScript.st And another Question: is there a better way of forcing "pharo -headless" to quit, better than writing "WorldState quitSession." in every script ? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/pharo-wrapper-script-suggestion-and-a-question-tp4099… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Moving package extension methods into new package

by Sean P. DeNigris

I wanted to move all the extension methods from a package into another package. I came up with the following. Is there a better way? oldPackageName := 'LivingCode-bdd extensions'. newPackageName := 'BDDExtensions'. package := PackageInfo named: oldPackageName. extendedClasses := package extensionMethods collect: [ :e | e methodClass ] as: Set. extendedClasses do: [ :c | c organization renameCategory: '*', oldPackageName toBe: '*', newPackageName ]. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Moving-package-extension-methods-into-new-package-tp4… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Restoring a Morph's Default Mouse Handling

by Sean P. DeNigris

I always forget how to do this, so I added a chapter to the online book: As soon as you define #handlesMouseDown: in your Morph subclass, you lose the default behavior where a morph is picked up when clicked on. To restore this behavior, compile the following two methods in your morph class: mouseDown: anEvent anEvent hand waitForClicksOrDrag: self event: anEvent. startDrag: anEvent anEvent hand grabMorph: self. http://book.pharo-project.org/book/LanguageAndLibraries/GUI/restoringdefaul… -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Restoring-a-Morph-s-Default-Mouse-Handling-tp4097353p… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
