Spec Gtk Applications - Implementing File open/save/(print?) dialogs

Hi -

When writing a Gtk app using Pharo Spec2 are there any facilities for
standard system dialogs - open file / save file / etc - or do you have to
create them from scratch yourself (perhaps using SpDialogPresenter) ?

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Hello,

if you want to play with the direct Gtk dialog, you have GtkFileChooserDialog... take a look at it :)

Thanks Esteban. That's what I needed. I've got the dialog to open, like this
-

generateRoseButton action: [
(GtkFileChooserDialog newOpenFileTitle: 'Hello')
showAll;
run ]

But how do you get the chosen filename back?

lol, I just realised I forgot to push my changes to it (I am working on fixing a leak on dialogs, so probably you will need to pull again soon, btw :P)

anyway, you can pull gtk-bindings now and you will have the right accessors.

Also, I have been working on a wrapper to help with the Gtk details (the idea is to integrate something to the newtools, so I need something that eventually can be mapped to a morphic component too ;) )

You can file in the exports I sending you (check the right order ;) )

And you should be able to execute what is in NmFileChooserDialog class>>example to get something like this:

I think this can point you in the right direction.

BUT! This is very early work... do not expect something ready for production :)

Wow! Thanks so much Esteban for taking all the time and trouble to provide
this. I'll have a play with it.
