how to update a pane in a customized inspector

Hi,

I am trying to customize an inspector with a code browser, and I have in a compose method of my own browser the following:

[...]

browser transmit
                from: #methods;
                fromOutsidePort: #entity;
                to: #source;
                when: [ :method | method notNil ];
                andShow: [ :a :method :object | self sourceOf: method for: object in: a ].
         
browser transmit
                from: #links;
                fromOutsidePort: #entity;
                to: #selectedLink;
                when: [ :link | link notNil ];
                andShow: [ :a :link | self inspectSelectedLink: link inPresenter: a ].

[...]

Is there an easy way to update the #source pane whenever one of my links is selected in my #link pane ?

In my case, the source code is displayed first, and when i select a link in the #link pane i want to highlight specific parts of this source code and the easiest way would be to re-trigger the first block above. I did not try it, but it seems that i could retrieve the #source pane and the selected method manually and re-trigger the method from the second block (i.e. when a link is selected), but i am not sure that is the right way to do it...

Also i was wondering if there was a video of the moldable inspector tutorial from pharo days 17 somewhere on the web, because i did not find it on youtube.

It works :) Thanks :)

Yes that is the video i was looking for :)

If you know the interval that you want to highlight when selecting a link, you can create a transmission from the #selection port of the #link pane to the #selectionInterval port of the #source pane. If you go to GLMBasicExamples, textPortsExamples and textSelection show how to use the selectionInterval port.

Not sure if the Pharo Days videos are available but you can see the same presentation from ESUG here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj5IWvAYSlw
