Defining a new command

Dear all,

I just defined a new command for Omnibrowser, however, how can I make
it appear on the method menu list ?
There should be a magic invocation i guess :-)

Cheers,
Alexandre

Re: Defining a new command

Hi Alexandre,

just create a method whose name starts with 'cmd' and put in your
browser class. This method must return a command class or a command
class collection. For example:

OBCodeBrowser>>cmdNewTraitTemplate
^ OBCmdNewTraitTemplate

Bye

You must add a method starting with 'cmd' to class OBCodeBrowser and place it in the
method protocol 'commands'. This method answers the class of your new command.
Every method following this convention is executed at start up of a browser and every
returned command is collected in the list of available commands for this browser.

Putting the method in the 'commands' protocol is not required to let
developers write class extensions. The method can return a collection
of classes instead of just one if it fits your need.
