GTinspector : how to avoid a new pane when an element is selected?

Hello,

Is it possible to avoid to open a new pane when browsing from a specialized inspector tab?
I have a specialized inspector tab with a table. I want to be able to select a raw and get the value by calling #selection on the presentation but I don't want a new pane to be opened on this selection.
By using noSelectionTransmission, there is no new pane opened but no selection available.

Christophe.

Any idea why it does not work?

I don't know why this does not work, (or why it is build that way,

in GLMPresentation>>#selection: the transmission for rawSelections is omitted, if #acceptsSelections is false)

But looking at the pragma inspector pane (for compiled methods) for example, it looks like you can add a special inspector
pane that handles selection without opening another (inspector-)pane.

The Pragma inspector shows two lists, a list of pragmas of this method. And a list of methods using this pragma.

If you select an entry in the list of pragmas, there is no new (inspector-)pane, just a new pane in this Pragam-tab.

Here is an example, that I made similiar to the code in the Pragma-Inspect, but
here I use it as another implementation for a collection inspector. add this method at the Collection class.

gtInspectorItemsInX: composite
    <gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 30>
    composite tabulator
        title: 'Collection inspector';
        with: [ :t |
                    t
                        row: [ :r |
                                    r
                                        column: #items;
                                        column: #text ];
                                   
                        row: #object.
                    t transmit
                        to: #items;
                        andShow: [ :a | a list ].
                    t transmit
                        to: #object;
                        andShow: [ :a | a text display:[:x | 'nothing here'] ].
                    t transmit
                        to: #text;
                        andShow: [ :a | a text display:[:x | 'nothing here'] ].
                    t transmit
                        from: #items;
                        to: #text;
                        andShow: [ :a | a text display: [ :x | (GTObjectPrinter new asTruncatedTextFrom: x) asString ] ].
                    t transmit
                        from: #items;
                        to: #object;
                        andShow: [ :a |
                                    a
                                        custom:
                                            (GTObjectVariablesBrowser new) ] ]

The implementation of GLMPresentation>>#selection: seems strange. I would move the check "self acceptsSelection ifFalse: [^ self]." after setting the value in the rawSelection port. This way the selected value if still in the rawSelected port but no transmission is triggered. This change doesn't break any of the existing tests, so we will need to add also a new one :)

Cheers,

Andrei
