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 ).
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.
