Text2-Examples in 8.0

Hi,

 

A few things,

 

1) The UI-Painter doe not hold the new widgets ??, however I can copy paste the examples from their canvas so this is not a show stopper.

 

2) I used the boss in and boss out examples to put the widget text in a database but got nothing. I then used the example to save the text contents to disk and read it back in. This appeared not to work and that is a problem as the API is not so easy to understand.

 

This is what I use to store the Text2 Document in a ByteArray

 

creatBinaryFromComments

| objects myByteArray |

objects := self commentDocument value asDocument.
myByteArray := #comments asByteArray.
(BinaryObjectStorage onNew: myByteArray readWriteStream)
             nextPut: (OrderedCollection with: objects);
             close.
^self addUpdateTaskComment: myByteArray selectedTask: selectedTaskRow value

 

The problem resides in the asDocument which remains empty, if I type something in the example editor

The value is not going to go back from the widget to your value model until you #accept it or turn on auto accept.

 

3) When using the replace functionality the wrapper changed the widgets position, see the screencast here.

I should also mention you can get the ‘live’ document from the widget and its flow, but changing either will make the widget go out of sync, most likely, so if you want to edit it, you’re best to edit it via the widgets API. In this case you’re just saving it, so it sounds like you want to #accept the editors changes back in to your value model.

Cheers,

I never noticed that my NextDataset widget corrupted the UI Painter tool palette.

I had been looking for an accept method but got lost in the flow thing.

Knowing where to look I’ll try again.
