Spec: Dynamically replacing widgets

Administrator

I'm building a wizard, so I want the page widget to be replaced by the next one when the user clicks "Next". I tried (in the container model, in the callback for the next button):
pageModel := PageModel owner: self.
self needRebuild: false.
self buildWithSpec.

It "worked" in that it replaced the page, but it looked really weird... the vertical spacing of the controls was off and all the text widgets were invisible, even though they were there and working if clicked on.

Before:

After:

Cheers,
Sean

it's weird indeed.

Is the code available somewhere ?

did you have a look at Merlin?
Because a spec version of Merlin would be cool

Merlin is a little framework developed by Cyrille Delaunay in the context of Moose
