Thanks for the example :)

Indeed, the documentation is a bit outdated since Spec is still improving a lot,

a changing a bit in its API.

One of my goal now is to write proper doc for Spec :)

I found it hard to find documentation on Spec beyond [1],[2],[3], some of which seem to have changed some syntax since they were written. I've been piecing things together to work out how to set the selected item with the simplest example I could. Even though it turns out pretty simple, I thought I'd share in case it was useful for others that haven't dipped their toes into Spec yet.

ComposableModel subclass: #TestSpec
instanceVariableNames: 'list text'
classVariableNames: ''
poolDictionaries: ''
category: 'BTCPlay'

TestSpec >> initializeWidgets
self instantiateModels: #( #list #ListModel ).

this could be changed in:

list := self newList. 

TestSpec >> getList
^list

TestSpec class >> mySpecLayout
<spec:#default>
^ SpecLayout composed
add:#getList ;
yourself.

Then from Workspace
x := (TestSpec new openWithSpec ; yourself).
x getList items: { 1 . 2 . 3 . 4}.
x getList setSelectedItem: 2.
