Re: [Pharo-users] Spec - Nested Layouts

Hey, I don't know what you want exactly. You can do: spec <spec> ^ SpecLayout composed newRow: [:row | row newColumn: [ :col | col add: #list width: 135; add: #description ] ]; yourself and nest that as many times as you want (but I don't know if this was your question). Another feature is: debuggerSpec <spec: #default> ^ SpecLayout composed add: #inspector withSpec: #debuggerSpec; yourself #inspector being the instance variable name that holds a subclass of ComposableModel that defines class side #debuggerSpec, which answers a SpecLayout. Not sure if this helped. All of these questions are for your tutorials ? 2013/11/7 Bahman Movaqar <Bahman(a)bahmanm.com> > Hi all, > > Is it possible to nest layouts in Spec?

Repository of petit parser

by Norbert Hartl

Looking at smalltalkhub there are plenty of PetitParser repos to find but none that looks official. So which is considered official? I still had Lukasâ repo in my config but the server seems to be down so I noticed. Norbert

I'm glad you are doing that :). Marcus could you tweet about this blog on the Pharo tweeter account ? So many people are waiting for more tutorials on Spec. 2013/11/7 Bahman Movaqar <Bahman(a)bahmanm.com> > Hi all, > > I'm writing a series of tutorials for Spec for beginners like myself and > I'd really appreciate any input on the material. > The first episode is done: > http://www.bahmanm.com/blogs/spec-part-1-basics > > -- > Bahman Movaqar (http://BahmanM.com) > > ERP Evaluation, Implementation & Deployment Consultant > PGP Key ID: 0x6AB5BD68 (keyserver2.pgp.com) > > >

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

by ClÃ©ment Bera

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. You can have as many lines and as many columns as you want. We do not have yet a tableLayout, but we miss it. If you plan to implement it, we will be interested in integrating it into Pharo. Ben can advise you on how to implement that.

Re: [Pharo-users] Spec - Text alignment in LabelModel

by ClÃ©ment Bera

Hey, I'm not sure this is the good way to do it, but you can store in your labelModel a Text instead of a String: myComposableModel label text: 'someString' asText. Then you can add attribute to the text: myComposableModel label text addAttribute: TextColor red. myComposableModel label text addAttribute: TextAlignment rightFlush. Try first with TextColor red, because for TextAlignment rightFlush there might be other reason it does not work (i.e. the label model has the width of the text, so modifying the alignment will not modify anything).

Spec - Nested Layouts

by Bahman Movaqar

Hi all, Is it possible to nest layouts in Spec? For example can I combine `SpecColumnLayout` and `SpecRowLayout` together? TIA, -- Bahman Movaqar (http://BahmanM.com) ERP Evaluation, Implementation & Deployment Consultant PGP Key ID: 0x6AB5BD68 (keyserver2.pgp.com)

Spec - Grid/Table Layout

Spec - Text alignment in LabelModel

by nacho

Hi, After spending almost two hours digging into Spec I couldn't figure out how to change the alignment of the text in LabelModel. As I'm building a simple calculator, the text has to be right-aligned. The default is left-alginement which makes the calculator display look weird. Any help would be much appreciated. best regards Nacho ----- Nacho Smalltalker apprentice.
