This is the expected behaviour :)

But what you can do (and actually what you wanna do) is to accept the text at each keyStroke :)

initializePresenter

��self instantiateModels: #(
������ ������ textName ������ ������ ������ TextModel
������ ������ labelGreeting������ LabelModel
������ ������ buttonGreet������ ������ ButtonModel��
������ ).

��labelGreeting text: ''.
������ buttonGreet label: 'Greet Me!'; disable.

should be turned into:

#initializePresenter

textName := self newTextInput.

labelGreeting := self newLabel.

buttonGreet := self newButton.

labelGreeting text: ''.

buttonGreet label: 'Greet Me!'; disable.

textName��autoAccept: true.

Keep me in touch :)

Hi all,

I'm writing a simple graphical version of the legendary "Hello, world".�� I have a window with a text field, a button and a label.�� What I'm trying to do is to make the button (which is initially disabled) enabled upon user entering text.�� However, it seems that the user first must "Accept" the text for the action to be fired.

Here's some snippets of code:

<code>
initializePresenter
������ textName whenTextChanged: [
������ ������ buttonGreet enable ].
������ buttonGreet action: [
������ ������ labelGreeting text: 'Hello, ', textName text, '!'.
������ ������ buttonGreet disable ].



initializeWidgets
������ self instantiateModels: #(
������ ������ textName ������ ������ ������ TextModel
������ ������ labelGreeting������ LabelModel
������ ������ buttonGreet������ ������ ButtonModel
������ ).
������
������ labelGreeting text: ''.
������ buttonGreet label: 'Greet Me!'; disable.
</code>

What am I doing wrong?

TIA,

PS:�� I have tried `whenTextChanged` to no avail --it shows the same behaviour.
