Try to think about is going on in the code, because then it is obvious (I hope).

For example you do the following:

column add: #sideBar; add:#listView.

why do you think that adding items to a column would create columns?

In Spec, one add:s rows to column, and columns to row.

If people are going to get regularly stack on this, we can certainly change it.

Oh!

I remember fighting with this last week too. Am I the only who who struggled with that? If not, perhaps we could call #add: #addRow: ?

Because it is the other way around: in the block ([ :col | ... ]) you are describing the content of the column.

So what you are actually doing is you create a Column (SpecColumnLayout), inside which you create another column (newColumn), and to that column you add two rows (add:, add:).

Heya folks,

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, I just don't know what it is.

I have the following:

defaultSpec
�� ^ SpecColumnLayout composed
�� newColumn: [ :col |
�� col
�� add: #sideBar;
�� add: #listView ];
�� yourself

In the resulting window, I get the widgets stacked one on top of the
other, and I expected them to be next to each other (two columns in a row.)

What am I missing?

Thanks!
