Morphic question

Hi list,

I have a question concerning morphic in Squeak 3.9... I'm trying hard to
understand morphic, but it's not easy...
I want to display a SystemWindow in the current world, it should be
placed starting at the top left corner going to the top right corner, so
it should take the whole width of the world. How can I achieve that?
I tried to use SystemWindow>>#position: or SystemWindow>>#bounds, I
tried all sort of parameters, but the window doesn't react on these
parameters... I set them before I open the window in world using
#openInWorld.
So how can I let a window open in the top left corner and taking the
whole availabe width of the world? Or how can I move a window
programmatically as soon as it's opened?

Any hint is greatly appreciated, thanks.

btw, is there a good documentation about current Morphic in Squeak
3.8/3.9? I couldn't find any.

David

| myWindow |
myWindow width: World with "This way you window have same with of current
world"
myWindow openInWorld "Always Morphs was created at 0@0 or topLeft of current
World"

At later time you could do:
myWindow center: World center "This way your window was centered in current
world"

The best documentation is inside image and taking some else project what do
some similar to what you wish.

And ask questions.

Edgar

SystemWindow new
openInWorld;
position: 0 @ 0;
extent: World extent

You have to open the window first, because sending #openInWorld asks
your model for the bounds and therefor resets anything you set
manually.

Cheers,
Lukas

ah, that's the trick, now I understand. I thought the size has to be
defined before opening the window.

Thank you and Edgar for these very fast answers. :)

Hi David,

This is quite an aside from what you are asking, but if plan to build portable
UIs or tools, it may be interesting to look at ToolBuilder and ToolsPlus. I
know almost nothing about them, only that I recently learned they can be used
to build (simple) UIs that are portable between Morphic and Tweak, and in
theory, if someone provides the concerete implementation, also Seaside and
MVC.
