Hi,
I would like to contribute a small goodie code patch for ViewComposer
that can increase your velocity of your GUI project.
Many visual IDE's of today provides a "Double click and edit that
button." feature.
I think Dolphin Smalltalk can have that hand off.
modify ViewComposer>>createSchematicWiring to let ViewComposer react to
user's double click in the arena.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ViewComposer>>createSchematicWiring
......................
......................
arenaPresenter
when: send: to;
when: send: to;
when: send: to;
when: send: to;
......................
when: #actionPerformed
send: #onArenaDoubleClicked
to: self.
......................
......................
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then, create a new method by compiling below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ViewComposer>>onArenaDoubleClicked
| owningPresenterClass commandSymbol |
self resourceIdentifier name isNil
ifTrue: [ ^MessageBox errorMsg: 'Save this view before editing
command method.' ].
owningPresenterClass := self resourceIdentifier owningClass.
[ commandSymbol := inspector model value commandDescription command ]
on: Error
do: [:exp| "silent exit"^self ].
commandSymbol isNil
ifTrue:
[ ^MessageBox errorMsg: 'Assign command symbol before editing command
method.' ].
(owningPresenterClass canUnderstand: commandSymbol)
ifFalse:
[ owningPresenterClass compile: commandSymbol. "creating method" ].
(owningPresenterClass compiledMethodAt: commandSymbol) browse
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have a good one
Howard
