About customizing Squeak -> custom world menu?
 
|
Hello
The wiki page "Customizing the Squeak UI" http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1008 refers to instructions how to create your custom world menu by referring to page "Subclassing MorphicProject, TheWorldMenu and PasteUpMorph" http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6461 The instructions on that page work fine. Are there simpler ways to create a customized world menu and hook it up as a parameter to a MorphicProject? Regards Hannes |

P.S. Ideally through a project preference
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/704 to be set individually for a particular project. On 2/24/18, H.

P.S. 2
The issue could be resolved easily if PasteUpMorph buildWorldMenu: evt ^(TheWorldMenu new world: self project: (self project ifNil: [Project current]) "mvc??" hand: evt hand) buildWorldMenu. would NOT have hard coded TheWorldMenu.

or if #buildWorldMenu were not hardcoded or if TheWorldMenu decided to query the project for an alternate method all of which is easy enough for one to
implement On 2/24/18 7:15 AM, H. Hirzel wrote:

Yes, implementation is easy but my question is how it should be done
in a way that conforms to the intention of the framework code. A "recommended good solution". What about using a project preference? It needs the method PasteUpMorph buildWorldMenu: evt from May 2000 buildWorldMenu: evt ^(TheWorldMenu new world: self project: (self project ifNil: [Project current]) "mvc??" hand: evt hand) buildWorldMenu. to be replaced with buildWorldMenu: evt |project worldMenuClassSymbol| project := self project ifNil: [Project current] "mvc??". worldMenuClassSymbol := project projectPreferenceFlagDictionary at: #worldMenuClassSymbol ifAbsent: [#TheWorldMenu]. ^((Smalltalk at: worldMenuClassSymbol) new world: self project: project hand: evt hand) buildWorldMenu.

Well, intentions are hard to figure sometimes. Whose intentions? When? Of course, if you follow things back a step, you might uncover Preferences personalizedWorldMenu and see if that satisfies requirements. On 2/24/18 9:05 AM, H. Hirzel wrote:

Or you could... World on: #mouseDown send:
#putUpSomeOtherMenu: to: World On 2/24/18 9:05 AM, H. Hirzel wrote:

> Or you could... > > World on: #mouseDown send: #putUpSomeOtherMenu: to: World This would be a better solution since it does involve adding a method but not changing a method of the base image. I tested it with adding #buildWorldMenu4: to PasteUpMorph buildWorldMenu4: evt |project | project := self project ifNil: [Project current] "mvc??". ^(TheWorldMenu4 new world: self project: project hand: evt hand) buildWorldMenu. I executed World on: #mouseDown send: #putUpSomeOtherMenu: to: World But the new world menu did not come up. So far http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1047 is the working solution I found for customizing the red button [1] menu --Hannes [1] Red button -- http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1904 - usually the left mouse button. > > On 2/24/18 9:05 AM, H.

your method would need to display it after
building it -- look at #putUpWorldMenu: for the missing bits On 2/24/18 12:18 PM, H. Hirzel wrote:
