Glamour question

Hi,
if i want to have access to the variables in a workspace and know its
window i simply do:
window model instVarNamed: 'bindings'
now i'd like to know how i do something like that with a GTPlayground
that resides in a GLMSystemWindow

Hi Werner,

If all you have in the window is the playground then this should give you the bindings: (window findDeeplyA: RubEditingArea) model variableBindings

I know it's not pretty but it works.

Now accessing the bindings of a playground seems like a useful use-case. I'll look to see if I can add a nicer api for this.

Cheers,

Andrei
