Re: [Pharo-users] Spec question: how to set the About contents for the window opened with openWithSpec?

by phil＠highoctane.be

Well, there is still an issue to solve, namely that the about box has now the right text (I added >>aboutText ^self class comment But then, the title of the about Window is wrong, as it says: "About WindowModel" (of course...) Saw that Nautilus inherits from SystemWindow, so that's why it is having the right title... WindowModel>>title says: title ^ self model ifNil: [ super title ] ifNotNil: [:m | m title ] Well, some more digging needed... Phil 2013/2/18 Sean P.

I am trying to load the slice from the PharoInbox in Monticello but it doesn't let me. Clicking on the slice on the left pane gives me the list on the right, which then goes back to the full list after like 2 seconds. That's weird. Image 20522. Typing 70529 in the right side search box lets me play. But this is a strange behavior. Thanks for the fix. I saw that you removed the feature showing the class comment in the about box. Maybe this is used by tools that do not use a model or something. Phil 2013/2/18 Sean P. DeNigris <sean(a)clipperadams.com>: > philippeback wrote >> Ideas? > > I created a hook.

MyCoolUI class>>open | instance windowModel | instance := self new. windowModel := instance openWithSpec. windowModel extent: 500@300. windowModel window model: instance. ^ windowModel. And then you would write the about text in MyCoolUI class comment...

Spec question: how to set the About contents for the window opened with openWithSpec?

by phil＠highoctane.be

In Pharo2.0 beta: When doing an x openWithSpec, I do get a SystemWindow wrapping my widget. That's all fine. Now, I want the top right arrow "About" to give me back the text I want. But currently, it answers the SystemWindow>>aboutText aboutText "Answer the text to use for the About dialog." ^self model ifNil: ['This is a system window without a model' translated] ifNotNil: [self model class instanceSide organization classComment ifEmpty: ['The model of this window has no class comment'] ifNotEmptyDo: [:comment | comment]] This gives me the comment of the WindowModel as this is what Spec creates for me during openWithSpec. Ideas? Phil

Indeed one of these days we should clarify the entry points. In smalltalk the "everything is written in Smalltalk" leads often to an absence of nice layered design and we need a nice MOP.

+1 :) If you want more sugar around, you can have a look in AbstractTool, the super class of NautilusUI providing methods for that (with UI etc) Ben On Feb 17, 2013, at 2:14 PM, "Sean P.

I may be misunderstanding you, but the new class template in Nautilus is the method, and I always use #compile:classified: for methods.
