Hi Damien,

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?

Hern��n

The replacement is��http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/FFI-NB

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

Hi guys,

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,
