Set programatically the selection for a fastTreeTable

Hi all,

I'm trying to do what subject says. I tried something like that

(in the example I'm trying to get Abort class selected)

| browser |

browser := GLMTabulator new.

browser row: #Example.

browser transmit

to: #Example;

andShow: [ :a | a fastTreeTable

column: 'Class Name' evaluated:[:clazz| clazz name];

children:[:clazz| clazz subclasses];

allExpanded;

"this has no effect" strongSelection:Abort;

"this has no effect" selection: Abort

browser openOn: {Object}

Could you please point me what I'm missing?

TIA

Arturo

Re: Set programatically the selection for a fastTreeTable

Hi Arturo,

Normally what you want should be achieved with a transmission:

browser transmit

fromOutsideEntityPort;

to: #Example port: #selection;

transformed: #first.

Just I see that doesn't work as expected with #fastTreeTable.

The closest thing that looks similar to what you want is:

| browser |

browser := GLMTabulator new.

browser row: #Example.

browser transmit

to: #Example;

andShow: [ :a |

a table

column: 'Class Name' evaluated:[:clazz| clazz name];

children:[:clazz| clazz subclasses];

shouldRootsExpand: true ].

browser transmit

fromOutsideEntityPort;

to: #Example port: #selection;

transformed: [ Abort ].

browser openOn: {Object}.

Cheers,

Andrei

Re: Set programatically the selection for a fastTreeTable

Thanks Andrei!

I tried:

browser transmit

to: #Example port: #selection;

transformed: [ Abort ].

using also #strongSelection and #rawSelection,but I missed # fromOutsideEntityPort :)

So, I have two additional questions: When #selection: and #strongSelection: can be used ?

Also, what is the difference among selection strongSelection and rawSelection ports ? I saw some transmission example

using #strongSelection port, and some discussion in the mailing list where #rawSelection port is mentioned.

Thanks

Strong selection is in list/tree/table presentations associated with double clicking on an element. So it's a "stronger" selection than just clicking once.

Also, what is the difference among selection strongSelection and rawSelection ports ? I saw some transmission example
using #strongSelection port, and some discussion in the mailing list where #rawSelection port is mentioned.

There is no connection between #strongSelection and #rawSelection ports. Only between #selection and #rawSelection.

#rawSelection will hold the exact value that was selected. Before putting this value in the #selection port a transformation

can be applied on it using GLMBasicPresentation>>#send:. Have a look for example at Date>>gtInspectorDetailsIn:. The table

displays a list of associations, but on selection we want to navigate to the value in that association. #rawSelection will hold the

association and #selection the value in that association.

Cheers,

Andrei

Thanks
