deploying a desktop GUI based image

Hi all!

I asked this question on the Moose list already ,but it seems nobody can
help me there.

I would liek to deploy a pharo app based on Glamour and Roassal as a
"hands on demo".

I was told Damien's Pharo launcher is currently somehow the reference
implementation for a "fullscreen" pharo application.
The pharo launcher is SPEC based and this provides some functionality
regarding that but Glamour doesn't. So I assume there must be a
"general" way to do it.
Unfortunately I am not able to tell the Galmour Browser to be
"fullscreen" and i also want to make sure nobody is able to get access
to the code or pharo related tools.

Does anybody here have experience in that or has a link to a
documentation regarding this?
The only stuff Ia was able to find is seaside headless related
deployment but nothing for UI based images.

Thank you for any help!
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

there is a top-level approach to do that via Morphic, which is to call openFullScreen in a StandardWindow instance.

If you can get a hold of the top-level window of your Glamour before it opens, then you just have to send openFullScreen to it. SpecWindow inherit from StandardWindow, so I suspect this is what it uses.

Beware, it's really full screen: once launched, closing that window interactively is challenging.

Hi Sebastian,

Can you give us more info about the error that you are getting and maybe a way to reproduce it.

Cheers,

Andrei

Hi Thierry,

This does somehow not really work.
I get an error due to the fact that a BrickWrapper's state is undefined and therefore does not understand  "isOnParent".

So this is why I thought there must be a different way for GLMSystemWindow or other non SPEC windows.

I'll check with the Moose guys again!
Thank you!

Why not execute this code:

| browser |

browser := GLMTabulator new.

(browser openOn: ($a to: $d)) openFullscreen.

When calling 'GLMSystemWindow allInstances first' you must have only a single 

window in the system (including windows that have been closed but not garbaged collected).

Cheers,

Andrei

Hi Chris,

this is the basic idea. One will have to find the right instance. In my case this is executed suring the startup process while there are no windows opened.


    | browser |
    browser := GLMTabulator new.
    browser openOn: ($a to: $d).
       
    GLMSystemWindow allInstances first openFullscreen


Hope that helps

Hi Sebastian,

You may want to look at the  DrGeo desktop application.
There is no documentation but you can dig in
the DrGeoInstaller class[1] and the shell build script[2]
