Long text entry field

Hi all,

Thanks to the Stephan's advices, I'm making progress in my small
planning application and hopefully today I will have a working
prototype. Now I would like to add some properties to the PlanColumn
class, one of them is a long description of what the day is gonna be
about. I can fill it using TextEntreDialogWindow, as in Stephan's code
but I would like to have a more apt widget for long text. Unfortunately
I can't find it by myself. Any pointers to where is it? How can I create
a widget for a long text entry?

Cheers,

Offray

There are several rubric examples that might help you.
Please note that I am making some improvements to the PlanBoard code
that might be useful for your application.

Just like TextEntryDialogWindow, but use TextEditorDialogWindow, for example:

Smalltalk ui theme
        textEditorIn: ActiveWorld
        text: 'Enter some text'
        title: 'Editor'
        entryText: String loremIpsum
        entryHeight:300

Thanks Stephan,

I will publish my variation of your work. Is pretty specific for the
needs of our local hackerspace, but will be really nice to share code.

Good. It is very helpful to have lots of examples of how to do things
with Morphic (and then how to do them with Bloc)
