Right-click and tutorial
by David Harris April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

I reported a problem with the mouse right-click under Windows 7Â last January and the 30845 update still exhibits the same behavior. Selected Pharo Tutorials from the World menu. Expanded Pharo Syntax Tutorial. Clicked Welcome. Highlighted 'PharoTutorial next.' Right-click of mouse does nothing. Fortunately, Alt-D does perform the do-it action. Once the new tutorial window opens, then right-click works as advertised. It is just that first panel where it is non-functional. Unfortunately, that panel tells the user "right-click and choose 'do it (d)'"Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

"stepping" a non-morphic object
by Chris Wright April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

I have a model which needs to run at regular intervals, and it could have a number of UI connections. So it's not "intrinsically" a morph. What is the best way to get the step message sent to non-morphs - or is there a better way in Pharo (Google was not my friend!) thanks in advance for any help Chris

NativeBoost
by Markus Fritsche April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Hello, tl;dr: what's the reason to get aNBExternalHandle even if you expect a MySuperHandle object from an nbCall? I am trying to build my first DLL wrapper with NativeBoost. I am having a problem that instead of returning a handle object (as I thought), my "primitive" throws NBExternalHandles at me. The API I am trying to wrap tries to be somewhat object oriented by (mostly) having a handle of some sort. My thinking was to attach all DLL primitives to the respective Handle Objects they take as a first parameter and go from there. Some workspace code: "Supplementary DLLs" Tm1ULibDllLibraryLoader loadLibrary. LibIbmCogEayLibraryLoader loadLibrary. SslIbmCogEayLibraryLoader loadLibrary. Log4CxxLibraryLoader loadLibrary. "DLL to wrap" TM1LibraryLoader loadTM1Library. t := TM1Api new. t tm1APIInitialize. hUser := t tm1SystemOpen. "Returns a proper 'TM1UHandle' object'" hUser tm1SystemAdminHostSet: 'localhost'. hPool1 := hUser tm1ValPoolCreate. "Returns NBExternalHandle" hPool1 inspect. hUser tm1SystemClose. t tm1APIFinalize. TM1Api>>#tm1SystemOpen <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin> ^ self nbCall: #(TM1UHandle TM1SystemOpen(void)) TM1UHandle>>#tm1ValPoolCreate <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin> ^ self nbCall: #(#TM1PHandle TM1ValPoolCreate ( TM1UHandle self ) ) Both, TM1UHandle class and TM1PHandle class have the method asNBExternalType: gen "use handle ivar to hold my instance (TM1x)" ^ NBExternalObjectType objectClass: self and are subclasses of object. What's my mistake? Can you tell with the information I provided? Best regards, Markus

a Pharo talk from a ruby conference
by Marcus Denker April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

â¦ more a Smalltalk one using Pharo: MountainWest RubyConf 2014 Noel Rappin: "But Really, You Should Learn Smalltalkâ Smalltalk has mystique. We talk about it more than we use it. It seems like it should be so similar to Ruby. It has similar Object-Oriented structures, it even has blocks. But everything is so slightly different, from the programming environment, to the 1-based arrays, to the simple syntax. Using Smalltalk will make you look at familiar constructs with new eyes. Weâll show you how to get started on Smalltalk, and walk through some sample code. Live coding may be involved. Youâll never look at objects the same way again. http://www.confreaks.com/videos/3284-mwrc-but-really-you-should-learn-small…

Roassal2 question: Including pictures in visualizations
by Arturo Zambrano April 29, 2014

April 29, 2014

Hi All, I wonder if RT is able to integrate images as part of the visuailzation. For example consider the case of some diagram (let say a vertical bar one) where instead of having text labels for each bar could include some image that describe the owner of the metric. In my case it could be the profile image of a twitter user. thanks art
