Hi, i first tried to hide everything Pharo-related and tried to make my Pharo desktop application look as much like a "native" one-window-application as possible. This was frustrating and did not really succeed. Now i hide the taskbar and add a menubar on the top of the Pharo window (like this: http://forum.world.st/Menubar-at-the-top-of-Pharo-s-main-window-td4581236.h…) So my Pharo application looks like a virtual (macos like) computer with own window system and this works really good. I even provide a "Developer Menu" so people can access the developer tools and add a small info on where to learn about Pharo. I start up everything like Dr. Geo does. This works very well. And like Dr. Geo i also provide a custom World-Menu and custom Application-Settings-Browser. (Unfortunately it is a non-public application so i cannot share here.) But i am very interested in this. Did you find any more examples? How did you solve it for your application?

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo Morphic framework guidance

by Carla F. Griggio

Hello! I'm super busy right now so here's just a quick answer. Check smallUML: http://squeaksource.com/@ove2LM8opVGNawjT/fA1QDg4I, it's a project I did some time ago to build UML diagrams. It already deals with the mouse event handling for drag and drop for example. The diagrams are saved as text in methods, and you can rebuild a diagram from that, so maybe it's useful for what you want to do (you just send the text that will rebuild a diagram to the other user). Feel free to ask questions here about this and I will try to answer! Cheers, Carla.

Pharo Morphic framework guidance

by Zeeshan Ansari

Hello All, I am required to use Pharo for a OO class project. In short, my project is to build a simple UML editor which allows a user to share his/her design with other users in real-time. I have chosen to do this in Morphic. I am looking for guidance/best practices for the following: Is there a recommended pattern to structuring the application. Should all my application objects be derived from Morph objects? Or should a morph be composed within my own domain objects and use morphs for the visual part? Any guidance on proper mouse handling techniques. Which methods to override. Writing event-handlers, etc. How can I achieve multiple inheritance. For example, I want all my drawing objects (use case, class, actor, etc.) to derive from a common class but at the same time each drawing object seems to be a natural extension of an existing morph. For example, use case can derive from EllipseMorph, class can derive from RectangleMorph, etc. Are there any similar applications in SqueakSource which I can look at to get some guidance. Thanks.

rich text / syntax highlighting / versioning

by Ingo Hohmann

Hi all, editors in pharo support styled text / syntax highlighting and versioning for methods. What do I have to do to use these facilities to create, e.g. a markdown editor? Thank you all, Ingo
