[Pharo-users] Glamour detecting changes?

I have a pretty simple class and I'm using a GLMFinder to browse its contents. If I make changes to the instance I'm browsing, it doesn't look like Glamour detects the changes and refreshes. I'm using self changed: #property in the setter. If I navigate backwards and unselect, and re-browse into

Re: [Pharo-users] Spec: "pluggable" widgets / label-input layout?

Don't add a method to do the layout or don't name it #layout? dont name it layout. The tutorial doesn't say what to name the method, just that it can be named anything using the pragma. I have two questions about the Spec side of the house: 1. The title/costWidget whenTextChan

I can't resist adding my pennyworth to this discussion. The ST vision was to empower "children of all ages" to master their own programs. This gives me an imperative discriminator for all my work: Am I making the programs more readable? If not, don't do it. I have been programming Smalltalk

Re: [Pharo-users] Question about Morphic in Pharo 4

Re: [Pharo-users] Question about Morphic in Pharo 4

This is how I would do it. (see attachement) What do you say? Is it clearer now what I meant with compose and reusable models? I am curios how would a pure morphic based solution look like. As it is just a simple dialog, I think the pure morphic version would be similar (in code size) and of cour
