Also, this default behavior can be reproduced with: (LongMessageDialogWindow new entryText: 'Hello') open (well, that doesn't set the title to "About"...) I just can't figure out how to set the text for non-"long message" dialogs! Take care, Rob > > >> On Apr 10, 2016, at 6:44 PM, B

Hello, In Pharo 5.0 #50680 MessageDialogWindow new open displays a message box with no text. Should (MessageDialogWindow new text: 'Hello') open work? I get a stack trace on CompositionScanner if I try to set the text. Also, is there a way to display the dialog modally (re

[Pharo-users] How to determine if a file is hidden

Thanks Johan, for your reply. That's great that there is a path forward with Spec; I think I'll be able to figure it out! I'll have to dig deeper into updateList, because right now the only thing it seems to do for me is clear any list selections, so I'm not sure if there is supposed to be a r

Thanks Stephan, this is a very nice example of lots of Spec usage that I'm sure I can learn a lot from! As far as refreshing the list view, you did the same thing that I found to work by using the ListModel>>items: message, which in your case was very natural because you are creating a new, fil
