Write (rubric) text changes back to the object in GTInspector

Hi,

You can try this:

composite := GLMCompositePresentation new.

composite pharoPlayground

     title: 'Script';

     variableBindings: [ { #x -> 1. #y -> 2 } ].

composite

 openOn: 'x+y'.

   

For the moment only script presentations can have variables.

Btw  #pharoPlayground  and #rubricText will be deprecated in the latest version in favour of #pharoScript and #text

Cheers,

Andrei

Hi,

if one has an inspector extension that shows a textual iVar of an object
representing code (using #rubricText, #pharoMethod or  #pharoPlayground)
as in this example:

 gtInspectorSourceIn: composite
        <gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 30>
        ^ composite pharoMethod
                title: 'Source';
                smalltalkClass: [ self methodClass ];
                display: [ self getSource ];
                act: [ self browse ] icon: GLMUIThemeExtraIcons glamorousBrowse entitled: 'Browse'

What is the best/correct way to set the iVar when the text is typed so the
state of the iVar represents the lively editing in the inspector extension?

Or is there a way to realize this somehow with Glamour ports using the #text port?

Thanks
T.

#onChangeOfPort:act: solved the problem. Thanks a lot!

BTW: would be cool if you both could join Pharo on Slack.

Cool example.

I slightly modified it and added it to the glamour examples :)

| browser morph |

   morph := StringMorph new.

   morph font:(LogicalFont familyName: 'Source Code Pro' pointSize: 30).

   browser := GLMTabulator new.

   browser

    row: #main;

row: #preview.

   browser transmit

      to: #main;

      andShow: [ :a | a text

        onChangeOfPort: #text act: [ :text  |

            morph contents:text text] ].

   browser transmit

to: #preview;

andShow: [ :a | a morph

title: 'Preview';

                       display: [ morph ] ].

  ^ browser openOn: 'some text'

you can define an action on a port change:

onChangeOfPort:act:

| browser morph |
   morph := StringMorph new openInWorld.
   morph font:(LogicalFont familyName: 'Source Code Pro' pointSize: 30).
    browser := GLMTabulator new.
    browser
        row: #main.
    (browser transmit)
        to: #main;
        andShow: [ :a | a rubricText
            onChangeOfPort: #text act: [ :text  |
            morph contents:text text] ].

    ^ browser openOn:'type some text'

This will open a StringMorph and a GlamourBrowser.

If you change the text in the browser, it will change the contents of the string morph.

Thanks
T.
