Just a general remark: you should try as much as possible to avoid hard coding width/height :)

there are some methods on ComposableModel you could use like buttonHeight toolbarHeight etc. that you should use instead :)

Hey,

I don't know what you want exactly.

You can do:

spec

<spec>

^ SpecLayout composed

newRow: [:row |�

row�

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � newColumn: [ :col |

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � col

add: #list width: 135;

add: #description ] ];

yourself

and nest that as many times as you want (but I don't know if this was your question).

I just tried this one and it works (see the code below) BUT, the code is so hard to read and understand just for 3 rows and 7 widgets!

<code>
defaultSpec
�� ^ SpecLayout composed
�� newColumn: [ :mainColumn |
�� mainColumn
�� newRow: [ :nameRow |
�� nameRow
�� add: #labelName;
�� add: #textName ]
�� height: 25.
�� mainColumn
�� newRow: [ :titleRow |
�� titleRow
�� add: #labelTitle;
�� newRow: [ :titleRadioRow |
�� titleRadioRow
�� add: #radioMr;
�� add: #radioMrs;
�� add: #radioMs ] ]
�� height: 25.
�� mainColumn newRow: [ :buttonRow | buttonRow add: #buttonGreet ] height: 25 ];
�� yourself
</code>

Am I doing it right?�

I guess this is right. But I think you need to generate this layout out of collections, not to write it.�

Another feature is:

debuggerSpec

<spec: #default>

^ SpecLayout composed

add: #inspector withSpec: #debuggerSpec;�

yourself

#inspector being the instance variable name that holds a subclass of ComposableModel that defines class side #debuggerSpec, which answers a SpecLayout.

Does this mean that for every table cell I have to create a new class?

Yeah well I was just pointing out all the choices you had. Depending on what you want to do you could have a class hierarchy similar to this:

SpecTable

AbstractSpecColumn

� � SpecColumnA

� � SpecColumnB

AbstractSpecCell

� � SpecCellA

� � SpecCellB

�

SpecTable having column, column having cells.

But this may not be the best choice.

Now that you caught my interest, I tried to do a table. I put it in attachment the result. It is a .st file, so drag and drop it in your image, then click file in entire file. Then try to run 'SpecTable new', it opens a table with 3 columns and 5 rows, with no complex layout method. All the code is in SpecTable (Cmd+f,Cmd+c to find a class in nautilus or write the class name in workspace then select it and press Cmd+m), in the method protocol table logic. It's like 6 methods.

However:�

- vertical splitters are not sync.

- I don't know how to color the border of each cell to make it beautiful.

Of course you need to polish it ...

I hope it helped you :)

Not sure if this helped.

All of these questions are for your tutorials ?

Hi all,

Is it possible to nest layouts in Spec? �For example can I combine
`SpecColumnLayout` and `SpecRowLayout` together?
