string := '' asValueHolder

string: aString

string contents: aString

string

^ string contents

And then what you can do in your initialise is

string whenChangedDo: [:newValue | self label contents: newValue ]

Something like this should work ^^

The other solution (which is baaad, but can still be seen) is to have a step method refreshing the Morph.

But this is really not efficient

Hope it helps,

Ben

but as i do not know how much the audiences overlap i hope you do not mind
if i repeat it here:

How to bind a LabelMorph/TextMorph to a variable so that the Morph reflects
changes of the variable?

- I have an object with a variable containing a String.
- I have a window containing a LabelMorph/TextMorph (or some other Morph
that displays Text?).
How do i bind the LabelMorph/TextMorph to the variable, so that the label
updates when the String in the variable changes?

- classic Smalltalk-80 dependent/change/update mechanism?
- Pharo Announcement framework?
- something different??
How would i do this? Which Morph should i use?

Martin.
