Re: [Pharo-users] Spec - Grid/Table Layout

by Benjamin

Such a UI can be achieve with a MorphTreeMorph (therefor with a TreeModel in Spec). Maybe I should create a TableModel in addition since a TreeModel for this is a bit magic :) Ben On 07 Nov 2013, at 10:04, ClÃ©ment Bera <bera.clement(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > Actually I had the same problem, I think the best widget that exists for that right now is MultiColumnListModel. > > For example, in the senders window (in attachment), the top panel is a MultiColumnListModel.

Re: [Pharo-users] Spec - TextModel whenTextIsAccepted

by Benjamin

Somehow itâs true. And you could try it :) But while doing Spec I also fixed a lot of bugs in the morphic widgets themselves :) Try with the latest spec, and tell me :P Ben On 07 Nov 2013, at 05:38, Bahman Movaqar <Bahman(a)BahmanM.com> wrote: > On 11/06/2013 20:35, Benjamin wrote: >> Ok :) >> >> These methods only exists in Pharo 3.0 :) > > Hmm...I don't understand.

Re: [Pharo-users] Repository of petit parser

by Tudor Girba

Hi, It is in the Moose repository because Moose was essentially the first larger user (besides Helvetia) since its inception (more than 3 years now), and because the development of PetitParser was taken care of by the Moose team. If others want to contribute (and even integrate into Pharo), it would be great and then we should move it. But, moving should come with commitment. This is an important piece in Moose and we need it to stay working and compatible with Moose requirements.

The official repository of PetitParser is Moose/PetitParser on smalltalkhub http://forum.world.st/moving-petitparser-to-smalltalkhub-td4671840.html

Hi, https://ci.inria.fr/moose/job/petitparser/ Or PBE2 says: Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'PetitParser'; package: 'ConfigurationOfPetitParser'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPetitParser) perform: #loadDefault. Hope it helps, I use the first option.

If we open an official one, given the importance of petitparser, it should be under PharoExtras.
