so yes⦠UFFI is included in Pharo5, and the âofficialâ replacement for NB. Now, NB had a lot of things that do not fit to what NB was (most of them were there originally as examples but they became aliveâ¦) the functionality you are looking for should be provided now by the package OSWindows (by Torsten). Torsten is working very hard to update his frameworks to Pharo 5.0 (Thanks!)⦠this is good because he has tons of things windows-oriented and that works as test bed for the new UFFI :) Anyway⦠this was not finished but we made a pass today and now tests are green. If you can wait until tomorrow, most probably everything will be ready to use⦠if you really need to use it: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/NOS (Notice that this repository is temporal until work is accepted and it merges back to official OSWindows repository). ⦠and you need bleedingEdge of UFFI version to get it fully working :) cheers!

Hi Cyril
It seems the UFFI pre-loaded in the Pharo 5 does not include classes like "Win32Window" or NBMacShell, or contained methods. Are these features lost? Someone already working on that?

I installed FFI-NB as follows:
Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'Pharo' project: 'FFI-NB'; configurationOf: 'FFINB'; loadStable
And found the following methods are missing from NBWin32Window:
createWindowExA:lpClassName:lpWindowName:dwStyle:x:y:width:height:hWndParent:hMenu:hInstance:lParam: createWindowExW:lpClassName:lpWindowName:dwStyle:x:y:width:height:hWndParent:hMenu:hInstance:lParam: ffiCalloutOptions getActiveWindow getCapture getClipboardOwnerWindow getClipboardViewer getDesktopWindow getForegroundWindow getWindowFromPoint:
Should I try something else?

The API should be mostly if not completely compatible. If not tell us, as I need to adapt my ESUG 2013 tutorial :)

I am porting packages which uses NativeBoost in Pharo <= 4 to Pharo 5 (update: #50628). Since NB is not supported anymore I would like to know which is the replacement of such library.
I found FFI is loadable in Pharo 5, but methods like #getForegroundWindow are missing. Even worst, when I try to browse a method like
#shellExecute:lpOperation:lpFile:lpPrameters:lpDirectory:nShowCmd:
with any tool (Nautilus, Finder, etc) I get a MessageNotUnderstood: RubShoutStylerDecorator>>disableDrawingWhile:
What's your recommendation?
Cheers,
Hernán
