Hello Tony,
HK> Trying to help you how to fish, cause in the time I have I didn't HK> manage to do it myself. HK> I'll try later to make it work and report here. I'll write up my findings as I go along: (in the end there is a solution but I think most important is you see methods to find out something.) Browsing IconicButton (which is what the Flaps contain) it seems to me that the label is not a Text or a TextMorph so it doesn't have a font you can change. I guess from looking at the code that an Iconic button uses a StringMorph to get the Form of its label and then adds that graphic to its own graphic. So the task seems twofold: 1- Find out which font is used for building the labels of the icons in the flaps 2- Find out how to rebuild the flaps. The second task was easier. I used the method finder to look for methods with "flaps" in their name. addStandardFlaps looked promising but the comment to the method said that the method itself does not display the flaps. But browsing for senders of addStandardFlaps revealed the class side method reinstateDefaultFlaps of Flaps class. So Flaps reinstateDefaultFlaps in a Workspace removes all flaps and rebuilds them. Give it some time when you run it the first time. So next I copied the Preferences class method chooseFlapsFont to a workspace, changed every self to Preferences and made it set the button font. This looked like: Preferences chooseFontWithPrompt: 'Choose a flapsIcons font' translated andSendTo: Preferences withSelector: #setButtonFontTo: highlight: Preferences standardButtonFont But rebuilding the flaps with Flaps reinstateDefaultFlaps still gave me the old fonts. So I think we need to solve a third problem, that's to regenerate the IconicButtons in the Flaps and maybe step 2 from above isn't needed at all. After I followed that false trail for a while I found in IconicButton initializeWithThumbnail:withLabel:andColor:andSend:to: and in this method I saw that IconicButton uses standardEtoysFont which can be set from the world menu as described in earlier mails. That finally did it. I had an interesting time finding it out. To sum it up: In the world menu set the etoys font to what you like in your Flaps. Then in a Workspace run: Flaps reinstateDefaultFlaps Then reset the etoys font to what you like for etoys. The first time you use the new Flaps you probably have to pull them out manually to accommodate the wider font.

I'm trying to learn to write network objects in squeak. I read the
chapter "Networking Squeak" by Parsia, Kerimbaev, and Spoon, from Mark Guzdials book. But I wanted to start at a more basic level. My first attempt is to write the simplest possible server. This server should wait for a connection, then print the first line sent to it, finally close. Unfortunately, it gets a "primitive failed" error. I got the same result on XP and Vista. Here's my code: | serverSocket connectionSocket | Socket initializeNetwork. serverSocket := Socket newTCP. serverSocket listenOn: 8080. connectionSocket := serverSocket accept. Transcript show: (connectionSocket upToAll: String crlf). connectionSocket close. serverSocket close. I found some old code for the PWS and looked around. It makes a ServerSocket object, but I can't find that class in my image (3.9-7067). If I do get a server socket to return a connection socket, is there a way to convert that socket into a SocketStream? Can anyone get me un-stuck? I've been trying to get past this for a couple evenings now. Thanks much, Don _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

One I can think of is REPLServer, which is a telnet server, but there may be simpler ones out there for e.g. HTTP. Also, if you want faster help, I recommend joining the #squeak IRC channel.

Thanks Michael.
My problem may have become immediately obvious when I tried to load REPLServer. I need TCPService. But where do I get that? It's not on SqueakMap. Google isn't helpful. Don p.s. I'm not IRC literate yet, but I'll look into that next. Michael van der Gulik wrote: > Don McLane wrote: > >> I'm trying to learn to write network objects in squeak.

Norbert,
Thanks, that was the key information that I needed!

Yes; sorry about that. REPLServer has dependencies on other packages.
If you use the UniversesBrowser from Squeak 3.10, it will load dependencies automatically for you. Michael.
