MessageDialogWindow(s)

by Robert J Rothwell

Hello, In Pharo 5.0 #50680 MessageDialogWindow new open displays a message box with no text. Should (MessageDialogWindow new text: 'Hello') open work? I get a stack trace on CompositionScanner if I try to set the text. Also, is there a way to display the dialog modally (relative to your application)? Thank you, Rob

Re: [Pharo-users] About Box

by Robert J Rothwell

Hi Bruce, This is my first week in a LONG time too, so good luck! If you open a Finder (Tools->Finder), and search for "about" (selectors), you will find a bunch of things that respond to "aboutText", like "SystemWindow," and "ComposableModel." The little drop-down arrow in the upper right of these system windows has an "about" item in the menu, and I just tried adding and aboutText method to the Spec Example "ApplicationWithToolbar" and the about box displayed the text I returned from that method. I hope that helps, and maybe we'll both be able to figure some things out! Take care, Rob > On Apr 10, 2016, at 6:44 PM, Bruce Peaslee <bruceapeaslee(a)comcast.net> wrote: > > This is my first week with Pharo.

Hi, This is my first week with Pharo. I have been moderately successful in learning how things go, but I cannot seem to create a HELP|ABOUT dialog. Pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks. Bruce

This is really cool! Ronie (from the DCC as well :-) has been working on a joystick support. Ronie will travel end of next week.

I originally made the bindings only for the Joystick API. I just made the bindings for the GameController API, which is more useful, since you do not have to worry about different joystick layouts.

It's great that you found your way out. Good of you to report back. > (Yes, Zn... classes are present as I'm making it for web) Zn is a standard part of Pharo as HTTP is a crucial technology in todays world. I just wanted to clarify that ZnByteEncoder is part of the package Zinc-Character-Encoding which has nothing to do with web, just as the classes in Zinc-Resource-Meta they are dependents of Zinc that are generally useful. BTW, it is better to say (ZnCharacterEncoder newForEncoding: 'cp1250') or even 'cp1250' asZnCharacterEncoder (or #cp1250 asZnCharacterEncoder) since ZnByteEncoder is an implementation class. > It results in a ByteArray but don't worry, ODBC system accepts it in execute: and maybe its other messages as well. > > Best regards > Robert > >

Solution: ODBC - could not coerce arguments

by Robert Kuszinger

Hi All, Just for the records, I've found the answer finally on my previous question. YES it was an encoding problem. It is your responsibility to know how your ODBC link (in ODBC administrator) is configured and what encoding it is waiting for. All strings must be passed for the ODBC classes correctly encoded. In my example it was CP1250. *encodedquery := yourquery* *encodeWith: (ZnByteEncoder newForEncoding: 'cp1250').* (Yes, Zn... classes are present as I'm making it for web) It results in a ByteArray but don't worry, ODBC system accepts it in *execute:* and maybe its other messages as well. Best regards Robert
