Source browser and list question

Hi all,

based on
http://www.squeaksource.com/AidaBrowser/

I'm trying to build a more Squeak Browser like web ui for a source
database (more on that later).

I had to patch up a few methods (they still used the AidaBrowserXX class
names) in the package before it would work and also ran into the usual
problems with having to copy methods into Scribo or default web style in
order use new components. Different discussion ;-)

Two questions:
- is there a newer version of the package somewhere?
- how do I build a simple scrolling list interface like Yoshiki used for
his code browser
(http://tinlizzie.org:8080/seaside/examples/authorship2)? Couldn't find
any example or even a matching web element in AIDA, but I'm still pretty
much a newbie as far as AIDA is concerned...

Some progress :-)
I'm working somewhat outside of AIDA's supported features with the
overflow:auto style setting. Although one might argue it is really a CSS
layout setting, as it only really affects the layout of the page, not
the functionality.

classesElement
        | e list |
        e := WebElement new.
        e
                setDiv;
                style: 'OVERFLOW: auto; WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 200px;';
                yourself.
        list := WebGrid new
                columnAspects: #(nil name);
                columnLinkViews: #(nil main);
                collection: self observee classes;
                yourself.
        e add: list.
        ^e

Tips and tricks welcome, but I'll keep you posted about my progress.

Michael

Hi Michael,

Well, CSS tricks are not outside Aida supported features, but are
orthogonal to them. I would also go your way. Now what would be really
nice is just to Ajax update other panes on selecting a class in your
pane. You can probably cascade more that one such update:

        classesLine
          onClickUpdate: methodsElement with: className;
           onClickUpdate: methodElement with: className; ...

Hi Michael,

We actualy have a form element for such scrollable list box, it is a
WebMenu with its size set. If you set the size, it is not anymore drop
down menu but becomes a list box with scrollers on the left.

Quick example:

        m := WebMenu new.
        m collection: #('First' 'Second' 'Third').
        m size: 10.

Now for your task (let say you have an instvar #selectedClass in your App):

   m := WebMenu new.
   m size := 10.
   m collection: self classNames
       selectedToAspect: #selectedClass of: self.
   m
     onChangePostAndUpdate: methodsElement;
     onChangePostAndUpdate: methodElement.

I hope this helps.
Janko
