I have a line of code that goes: ([self directoryName = ''] and: [self fileSpec = '']) ifTrue: [..... and it throws an error "NonBooleanReceiver: proceed for truth". The directoryName and fileSpec methods both ititialise to '' (empty string) if nil. I couldn't see what the issue was so I played in a workspace and evaluated: [true] and: [true] which gave me the same error. I'm in Pharo 1.1.1 Is my boolean structure wrong or is this a bug? Is there a better way for me to write the code? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/and-help-tp3413554p3413554.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

controlling width in UITheme class >> exampleBasicControls
by DougEdmunds March 24, 2011

March 24, 2011

UITheme class >> exampleBasicControls generates 3 columns. I want to control the width of the text entry input area ("Hello") in the left most column In the example, the width depends on the width of the widest text label in that column. If there are no labels, the text input box shrinks to a useless width (about 3-4 typed characters). How can I set the width of the text input field? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/controlling-width-in-UITheme-class-exampleBasicContro… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Get "Invalid utf8 input detected" error for a filename
by Juraj Kubelka March 24, 2011

March 24, 2011

Hi, If I try to execute: (FileDirectory on: '/home/jura') directoryNames it says "Invalid utf8 input detected" (UTF8TextConverter>>errorMalformedInput), because of a directory named 'VeÅejnÃ©' ('Å' character is the wrong one). In the file system it is the right. FileDirectory>>primLookupEntryIn:index: returns a wrong ByteString ('Ve?ejnÃ©'). It was tested on Pharo 1.1.1 and Moose 4.3 where I am not able to use a Moose Panel tool because of the problem. Am I able to solve this problem somehow? Set-up something... Thank you in advance, Juraj

How to resize a submorph according to itâs owner?
by Helene Bilbo March 22, 2011

March 22, 2011

Hi, when i embed a Morph A into a Morph B and then resize B, A stays the same size. I would like A to resize proportional accroding to the resizing of B. In the Halo-Menu there is a LayoutPolicy that can be set to ProportionalLayout - but that seems not to change anything. Can anyone give me a hint? Best regards, Helene. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/How-to-resize-a-submorph-according-to-it-s-owner-tp33… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Do you have a tool that works on Pharo ?
by Mariano Martinez Peck March 21, 2011

March 21, 2011

ifTrue: [ self writeOnPharoBook: aTool] We need to improve our documentation. Right now, we have a collaborative book where everyone can join and write: http://book.pharo-project.org/ Here we have a list of tools that run on Pharo: http://book.pharo-project.org/book/PharoTools and it is REALLY important to have such list updated and maintained. So, if you have a tool that works in pharo and it is not there, please add it. If you don't have a user, I can create one for you. If you are TOO lazy, you can send by email the text to me and I write it. Thanks Mariano

Laying out Morphs with submorphs outside their bounds
by Sean P. DeNigris March 18, 2011

March 18, 2011

I created a ThoughtBalloonMorph seen here (think of a cartoon if you can't see the image): http://forum.world.st/file/n3376956/Screen_shot_2011-03-15_at_March_15%2C_2… It is an invisible morph with three submorphs: * an EllipseMorph with an embedded TextMorph * two small CircleMorphs leading from the thinker to the thought. The problem is that the #bounds of the Morph is 0@0 (for the invisible Morph). Thus, when I add it to a PasteUpMorph with #shrinkWrap resizing, the submorphs are not taken into account and may be cut off, as seen here: http://forum.world.st/file/n3376956/Screen_shot_2011-03-15_at_March_15%2C_2… What's the best way to overcome this? Thanks. Sean p.s. if you're not viewing this on Nabble, did the images work? (I added them on Nabble.) -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Laying-out-Morphs-with-submorphs-outside-their-bounds… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
