Hi Johan,
No much, but this method is offered by GLMPresentation. We should just
add one without the on:
Doru, thanks a lot for this clarification. I was able
to
significantly clean up the Glamour part of AspectMaps, squashing
some nasty side-effects on the way! See below for more details ...

Completely agree. There is no toolbar just because I do not know how
to do it with Morphic. Ideally I would like to have a tab widget like
the one in Eclipse with a small toolbar to the right of the tabs.
It looks to me like the button actions are
actually actions that
should belong to the MondrianPresentation. Unfortunately, there is
no support for rendering a menu on a presentation (although it
would be great to have it), so perhaps a good place would be in a
menu on a canvas.
Yes, agree that the buttons do things related to the mondrian
presentation. However I dont like the idea of having these buttons
as menu items because of ease of use. More clicks required to get to
a menu item, plus the buttons are more visible. That's the 'raison
d'etre' of toolbars, no? Regarding the
triggering of transmissions from actions, the
preferred way is to populate a port of the enclosing pane. For that
you can directly use:
populate: #your_port on: $shortcut entitled: 'Title' with:
[:presentation | ... ]
Take a look at GLMBasicExample>>updateAction.
OK. So what I am doing now for the #buttons pane is
(a actionList) title: 'Structural Zoom';
populate: #selection
on: $3
entitled: 'Enabled Aspects'
with: [:p :entity | <do the work required for the button and return
a new object>]
populate: #selection
on: $4
entitled: 'Multiple Aspects'
with: [:p :entity | <do the work required for the button and return
a new object>]
et cetera ...
- I have the shortcut as a nonsensical number ($1 to $6) because
command shortcuts on buttons dont seem to work :-( (So does it make
sense to have populate:on:with: ?) - I make sure to always return a new object so that
the 'new
selection' gets sent to the outside
- the mondrian view has a from: #buttons and ignores the value
passed, I just use it to trigger the update
That is a good solution at this moment :)
Cheers,
Doru
