Re: [Pharo-users] Set programatically the selection for a fastTreeTable

Oct. 4, 2018

      Thanks Andrei!

 I tried:

 browser transmit
to: #Example port: #selection;
transformed: [ Abort ].

using also #strongSelection and #rawSelection,but I missed #
fromOutsideEntityPort   :)

So, I have two additional questions: When #selection: and #strongSelection:
can be used ?

Also, what is the difference among selection strongSelection and
rawSelection  ports ? I saw some transmission example
using #strongSelection port, and some discussion in the mailing list where
#rawSelection port is mentioned.

Thanks

Hi Arturo,
Normally what you want should be achieved with a transmission:
browser transmit
fromOutsideEntityPort;
to: #Example port: #selection;
transformed: #first.
Just I see that doesn't work as expected with #fastTreeTable.
The closest thing that looks similar to what you want is:
| browser |
browser := GLMTabulator new.
browser row: #Example.
browser transmit
to: #Example;
andShow: [ :a |
a table
  column: 'Class Name' evaluated:[:clazz| clazz name];
  children:[:clazz| clazz subclasses];
  shouldRootsExpand: true ].
browser transmit
fromOutsideEntityPort;
to: #Example port: #selection;
transformed: [ Abort ].
browser openOn: {Object}.
Cheers,
Andrei

Hi all,
 I'm trying to do what subject says. I tried something like that
(in the example I'm trying to get Abort class selected)
:
| browser |
browser := GLMTabulator new.
browser row: #Example.
browser transmit
to: #Example;
andShow: [ :a | a fastTreeTable
    column: 'Class Name' evaluated:[:clazz| clazz name];
                children:[:clazz| clazz subclasses];
allExpanded;
"this has no effect" strongSelection:Abort;
"this has no effect" selection: Abort
browser openOn: {Object}
Could you please point me what I'm missing?
TIA
Arturo
