Hi, I'm trying to connect to a .xls file on Windows 7. I will also need to connect to an Access database. My application database is SQLite3. I used the following excerpt from an email I found: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'TorstenBergmann' project: 'UDBC'; configuration; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfUDBC) loadBleedingEdge. Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'DBXTalk' project: 'Garage'; configurationOf: 'GarageGlorp'; load. #ConfigurationOfGarageGlorp asClass project stableVersion load. Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'DBXTalk' project: 'Glorp'; package: 'Glorp-SQLite3'; load. GlorpSQLite3CIConfiguration new configureSqlite3. GlorpDemoTablePopulatorResource invalidateSetup.

Pharo 5 ODBC
by Glenn Swanlund March 20, 2017

March 20, 2017

Does Pharo 5 support ODBC? I loaded the UDBC package and can't see how to make an ODBC connection. There is a class UDBCODBCConnection but it is empty. Any pointers? Regards, Glenn

MetaLinks with arbitrary number of arguments
by Peter Uhnak March 20, 2017

March 20, 2017

Hi, is it possible to create a metalink on arbitrary amount of arguments? Right now the metaObject and selector must have the same number of arguments, e.g. MetaLink new metaObject: [ :object :selector :args | ... ]; selector: #value:value:value; arguments: #(object selector arguments) What I would like to have instead is something like... MetaLink new metaObject: [ :allArgs | ... ]; selector: #value:; arguments: #(object selector arguments) And then `allArgs` would either be an array with all the arguments, or maybe a Dictionary. Thanks, Peter

read, display, and annotate MS Word and PDF files?
by David Epstein March 20, 2017

March 20, 2017

Hi folks. I am considering trying Pharo for a project but am unfamiliar with Smalltalk. I'm attracted by the close integration between language and IDE. Are there native libraries that would allow me to read, display, and annotate (e.g. add comments & highlighting) to MS Word and PDF files? If not, is it easy to call libraries intended for other languages, such as http://www.foxitsdk.com/ ? Thank you, -david

looking for tools to manually select ast nodes for metalinks
by Steven Costiou March 20, 2017

March 20, 2017

Hi, i would like a way to define metalinks at debug time, by "visually" selecting ast nodes in the debugger. For example i would like to see a method that i am debugging and by a clic on the source code it would select the associated ast node and allow me to put a metalink right there. - does that exist ? - if not, does a tool to display or to navigate through metalinks already exists ? - if not any, can somebody point me to documentation and/or ressources to extend the debugger so i can try to build it ? (i've already seen the spec book to build ui but i want to see what is possible with the debugger) Thanks, Steven.

TextInspectIt missing in Pharo 6
by Alistair Grant March 20, 2017

March 20, 2017

Hi All, TextInspectit and TextDoIt>>rubActOnClick:for:in:editor:, which are part of the Text-Core package, are present in Pharo 5 but not in Pharo 6 (60442). All the other classes in Text-Core appear to be present (I haven't checked every method). Is this intentional, and if so, what is the replacement? Thanks very much, Alistair

[ANN] Release of the Spec book
by Johan Fabry March 18, 2017

March 18, 2017

Hi all, StÃ©phane and I are happy to announce the 1.0 release of the book on Spec, the UI framework for Pharo!! This book was needed because the existing documentation was not really user-friendly and dispersed. I gathered everything I could find, sorted, filtered and rewrote, in collaboration with Stef. This is the reference documentation of Spec for Pharo 5 and 6, as well as my Magnum Opus on Spec (I have other ones on other topics ;-) ). We hope it will be useful for you. A small overview of the content: This book first shows the basics of Spec and how it enables reuse of UIs. It then treats UI layout in detail before moving on to explaining the management of windows. Some of the more advanced widgets are also discussed as well as the dynamic features of Spec. Lastly, the book also contains a chapter with tips and tricks. You can download a pdf of the book at http://files.pharo.org/books/spec-tutorial/ and also buy a hardcopy here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/johan-fabry-and-stÃ©phane-ducasse/the-spec-ui-fram… Itâs only 9.99EUR so so you can easily afford it, and moreover all proceedings of sales go the the Pharo association ! -- Does this mail seem too brief? Sorry for that, I donât mean to be rude! Please see http://emailcharter.org . Johan Fabry - http://pleiad.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD and RyCh labs - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

Specifying library dependencies in UFFI
by Raffaello Giulietti March 17, 2017

March 17, 2017

Hi, say I want to directly use a library that depends on other libraries in different folders. How does UFFI proceed to find these other libraries? Is there a way to specify the search folders in UFFI? I'm on Windows and in Pharo5/6. Greetings Raffaello
