GUI Frameworks Choice

by Craig

Hi All, I'm new to Pharo although not to Smalltalk. I did dabble with Dolphin about 20 years ago, when it was first being developed, and did some quite cool stuff. This time around I chose Pharo because I feel that Dolphin has strayed from the pure OO model that I enjoyed back then. I've chosen a fairly ambitious GUI project as my Pharo primer. The problem is - which GUI framework to use. The GUI that I want to build will be static but complex with a menu, 2 toolbars, 20 odd toolbar buttons, and 3 (dockable?) windows, containing Trees, lists and text editors. Any suggestions on which GUI framework would suit? I thought about using PolyMorph, but I cannot find the examples in my Pharo 3 image. Craig

Re: [Pharo-users] [Pharo-dev] PharoNOS

by Torsten Bergmann

Yes, I tried in VirtualBox. Same issues here: used OSProcess to query for the DHCP given IP address and noticed that AioPlugin is not available. I like that it is a naked Pharo 3.0 image. So I would not preload the command shell - one can easily provide a config in the config browser for additional things or load an own config via script/network. So one could adopt to its own needs with a simple additional loading (like switching to themes, logo, ...). And yes: keyboard layout switching is required. Really nice! Can the ISO image building get automated so we can have a CI script that builds an ISO for Pharo 3.0, current 4.0 and others ... Â Thx T.Â Gesendet:Â Donnerstag, 16.

You may encounter two errors which are linked to the openstreetmap servers, and I haven't handled them in the script: - time out in the ZnClient query to the openstreetmap api server. - request returning no data and a tag 'error' (which also means a timeout of the api server). In such cases, switching to a different openstreetmap api server may be a solution. For example, the french openstreetmap association server seems to work well: http://api.openstreetmap.fr/oapi/interpreter > Thanks a lot for the hints.
