[squeak-dev] Fullscreen UI

Hi,

I want to create a fullscreen UI on my own for learning/testing some
concepts (and no - I have no plans to do a fully featured UI). I neither
want to rely on Morphic nor MVC.

My idea is to simply "get" a form representing the Display and a Sensor
providing all the kbd/mouse events.

Where do I have to hook in? Any pointers?

CU,

Udo

Look at Form , Display, Sensor.
But you don't have a way to avoid MVC, Morphic, Tweak, GTK or some other
implemented or in development GUI.
At less you plan is made your own.

Thanks for the pointers. Is it possible to create Projects with a
non-MVC/Morphic UI.

I'm just thinking of using the regular Morphic based tools to develop
something and then switch into a "MyUI" Project testing things out. Does
 this make sense?

Maybe you should look his later works.
Or very soon you could find in a iPhone near to you...

Simplified Morphic sounds good as a starting point. I'll take a look at it.

Wasn't there some kind of restriction not allowing any VM on the iPhone.
Or does this only apply to non-jailBrocken iPhones?

John McIntosh have a iPhone VM and a Squeak 3.4 or a derivative of it
running.

Don't say nobody I tell this :=)

  Yes, it does.  You certainly don' thave to try to hook your UI up
with the Projects and Processes, etc. at first.  Just define a method
at your new class that would look like:

doCycles

   [true] whileTrue: [
           self processEvents.  "handle user events and route them to widgets."
           self updateDisplay.  "write stuff to Display, with a proper
                                 fiddling of #deferUpdates:."
   ]

and from a Morphic workspace, execute:

m := MyUI new.
m doCycles.

Especially because it will be in full-screen, it just looks like a
native-fullscreen UI.

[true] whileTrue: aBlock

is better written as:

aBlock repeat.

  Heh.  The idea behind it was that once he takes this way, soon he
wants to replace "true" with an instance variable and create a sort of
quit button to escape back to the hosting environment.
