Hi,
I would encourage you to simply extend the inspector. Something like this:
MyEvaluator>>gtInspectorEvaluateIn: composite
<gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 0>
composite text
title: ‘Evaluator’;
populate: #selection iconName:#glamorousGo entitled: ‘Evaluate'
with: [ :textPresentation |
self from: (MyReader from: textPresentation text)]
And then inspect MyEvaluator new.
If you cannot have an evaluator instance without the reader, add the extension
to the class side of MyEvaluator and inspect the MyEvaluator class.
Cheers,
Doru
