Question: How can I add a items to System Browser Window menu?
 
|
Hello!
I want to add an item to the menu that appears when you right click on a category in the System Browser window. I think that menu is built here: Morph>>buildMetaMenu: evt But I don't want to touch that method, not SystemWindow>>buildMetaMenu: evt either, because that option would have to be visible only if my project has been loaded. Is there a way to do that? Thanks!

I think Car meant the context menu when you right-clic a category in the System Browser. I don't know how, but maybe my screenshot help someone to help you :).

Yes!
I looked for other examples with the pragma, but they were for the World menu (thanks anyway!). I meant the menu that Guille captured. 2010/8/7 Guillermo Polito <[hidden email]> I think Car meant the context menu when you right-clic a category in the System Browser.

Exactly what Guille captured in the image he attached. When I open that window from the World menu it says 'System Browser', although it could actually be an OmniBrowser on the system categories internally... Are they two different things?
If they are, how can I open both? (Because until now I thought they were the same thing). I might be interested in customizing both :P On Sat, Aug 7, 2010 at 9:13 PM, Hernán Morales Durand <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi Carla, _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project |

I don't know which image you are using, some Pharo images includes the OmniBrowser package already loaded and this is what you're probably opening from the World menu. It isn't clear from the world menu which browser (System or Omni) you're going to open. You might want to use both or more system browsers (there are other system browsers) at the same time. I use both tools often. The System Browser is the "classic" browser in Squeak, you may open it evaluating Browser open The OmniBrowser System Browser is a browser based on the OmniBrowser framework and it is opened evaluating OBSystemBrowser open I strongly suggest to choose the OmniBrowser way, it is a really good framework, nicely supported and there is some documentation in PDF format out there. The only drawback I saw is it is hard to develop a browser to browse other things which are not "code". Cheers, Hernán > If they are, how can I open both?

Ohh, I understand now.
I was using the OmniBrowser System Browser. Either case, I don't know how I can customize the menu that appears when I right click on a category without changing the original code :( I want to "extend" that, not change it, just add a new comand option. Do you know if it's possible? I can change it adding an option in Morph>>buildMetaMenu: evt, but I wanted to keep that code clean...

By the way, if that method only has sense when right clicking on a System Window category list, why is it defined in the class Morph?

2010/8/10 Carla F. Griggio <[hidden email]> Ohh, I understand now. You need to create a subclass of OBCommand which define these methods: execute: what to do when clicking on it group: answers a symbol to know in which group it will be displayed in
isActive: answers if the item is enabled/disabled keystroke: answers the char for shortcut label: answers the label order: answers the position example: OBCommand subclass: #OBCmdRunAutotest instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: ''
poolDictionaries: '' category: 'OB-Autotest' execute |method| method := target theClass >> target selector.
OBWaitRequest block: [ AutotestDashboard default triggerAutotestOn: method ]. group ^ #testing
isActive ^ (requestor isSelected: target) and: [target isKindOf: OBMethodNode ] keystroke
^ $T label ^ 'trigger autotest' order ^ '3' Look at OBCommand subclasses for more examples. Cheers, Laurent Laffont http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/ http://magaloma.blogspot.com/ I can change it adding an option in Morph>>buildMetaMenu: evt, but I wanted to keep that code clean... _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project |

what would be create is to step by step make all menus easily extenesible. Like nowadays with the world menu and pragmas
Carla, once I had a similar problem and the only solution was to override that method with a *MyPackage in that method, and add there the menu entried I wanted...this is completly wrong and sucks...but was the only thing I found cheers 2010/8/10 Carla F.

Yes!!!
We should move step by step and fix all the points one by one. And since it takes time we should make priority. :) > what would be create is to step by step make all menus easily extenesible.

But in OB that should be easy. You can add, remove and change any
command without the need for an override. The only exception is the code pane which gets its is commands from the Paragraph editor.
