How do I display a text in a text window?

Hello

I want to display a string (no code) in a text window.

What is the equivalent of the Squeak expression

StringHolder
new textContents: (MyTextCollection at: 101);
openLabel: 'theText 101'

in Pharo 5.0?

Regards

Hannes

Answer:

To open a text window with text I do

Workspace openContents: (MyTextCollection at: 101).

Display as text only:

At the bottom I can switch between

- plain text
- smalltalk scripting

But the text remains red in both cases.

What am I missing?

Look into UIManager helpers.

I have to run now.

Thank you Stephane for the hint.

Through reading

UIManager createPageTestWorkspace

I found

UIManager default edit: (MyTextCollection at: 101) label: 'Text 101'.

It works fine for my purpose.
