spec ui as morph

Hi,

Does anyone know how to embed a UI component made with Spec into a UI expecting a morph?
It looks like the only way to build a spec UI is to open it with #openWithSpec that will always embed the component in a window.

Thanks,
Christophe

Re: spec ui as morph

yourModel buildWithSpec.

Re: spec ui as morph

thanks but the result is not a morph.
Should I use yourModel buildWithSpec spec instance?

Are you sure ?

(TextModel new text: Morph comment; buildWithSpec) openInHand -> a Morph

Should I use yourModel buildWithSpec spec instance?

Re: spec ui as morph

#buildWithSpec returns the SpecModel's Morph, which is what you want.

`model spec instance`, which is the same as calling `model widget` returns the model's Adapter; but don't use the former, I will remove it in Pharo 7.

If you want retrieve the morph from Spec after it was built, then

yourModel widget "-> Adapter"
yourModel widget widget "-> Morph"

Re: spec ui as morph

I really hope that we will be able to remove the adapter with brick

Hi Nicolai,

Thanks Nicolas, I tested quickly before leaving and I made a stupid mistake.

Indeed, I get a morph.

Maybe it would be a nice idea to put this information (how to integrate a spec ui into a morph) in the 0.1 section of the spec book?

Thanks
