Hi All
I have an application which is essentially a bunch of custom morphs interacting together through connectors. Some of these talk to hardware and plugin processes and need a fair amount of parameterization. The parameters are strings, boolean, selections, numbers etc. All the usual things you would expect in a conventional app. I need something akin to a property sheet - not a million miles away from the eToys scripting sheet. I played with this a bit but couldn't figure out how to add methods and parameters. Is this a fixed sheet - can it be changed easily - or is it a major code hack. The other option I was toying with is Seaside but that would not be ideal as I would have two completely different user interfaces. Is there any other way to tackle this problem apart from biting the bullet and coding up a whole load of dialogues from whatever useful morphs I can find.

If you've already coded up a bunch of custom morphs,
one more (a property-sheet) shouldn't be too much trouble should it? PropertySheetMorph LabelValuePairMorph StringMorph (label) PropertyValueMorph TextMorph (type it in) PropertyValueSelectorMorph (select it) something like that.. Sounds like you're interested in a consistent UI for the property-sheets, so you could code these to match the existing style of your custom morphs.. > Message: 8 > Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2006 23:03:18 -0000 > From: "Cowdery, Bob [UK]" > <[hidden email]> > Subject: Property sheet - ideas wanted > To: "The general-purpose Squeak developers list" > <[hidden email]> > Message-ID: > > > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Hi All > > I have an application which is essentially a bunch > of custom morphs > interacting together through connectors.
