Updating objects in the inspector
Hi, all. I have been away from Pharo/Smalltalk for several years, but I am coming back to it now. I am a senior developer, but havenât used smalltalk in any professional projects. I also found that I donât do ANY pet projects for fun anymore, as the current batch of languages/frameworks are not fun. They are effective and all. But not fun. I am starting a bunch of âscratch my own itchâ projects. Iâll be using Pharo as the data store, and maybe more. The thing I really want to do is document the usage of Pharo in my projects, and explain the toolchain, and why i chose each piece. My first project is to take a list of movie events from the local theater and create a listing reminiscent of the newspaper listings we read in the olden days. I have my models set up and figured out, but I have a really simple question. How do i change the value of an instance variable in the inspector. It looks like it should be super simple, but itâs not working. In this case, I am just trying to take the period out of a string. See that attached image. Thanks, all!  ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary Public Key: https://pgp.key-server.io/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x69B08F58923AB3A2 #BitMessage BM-NBaswViL21xqgg9STRJjaJaUoyiNe2dV @sergio_101@mastodon.social https://sergio101.com http://www.codeandmusic.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101
Sergio, Welcome back to Pharo Smalltalk. The pane at the bottom of the inspector is a playground that has acces to the object instance variables. You can evaluate what ever expression you want. In your example, that would be name := 'New name' Noury -- https://PharoJS.org On Jan 12 2024, at 10:35 pm, sergio ruiz <sergio.rrd@gmail.com> wrote:
