Hi Doru,
I'm sorry to say that GLMExamples class>>browseExamples is broken: it
only shows an empty list. The reason for this is that it looks for
pragmas but these are all in the subclasses. I guess that all this was
first a big class that has been split up in different subclasses but
the code of this method did not get adapted.
Still, hacking around in the code a bit did not give me insight in my
root question. So let me try again: I want to understand what happens
when you specify 'browser showOn: #foo; from: #bar' Where is the code
that passes the selection event from #foo to #bar so that #bar
refreshes itself? If I can hook into that, I can send a fake selection
event from a non-existent #foo to my #bar so that #bar refreshes ...
being an update of #bar :-)
Give me that and I'll code a primitive update mechanism for you that
you can include in a future release of Glamour. As I conversed with
Alex today (regarding a Mondrian update mechanism), it does not matter
if it is slow or it flickers, at least it is basic functionality.
First get it to work and we'll invest in an optimal solution later.
We're supposed to be agile, right?

Hi Johan,
I do not have enough time to look into this right now, but maybe
GLMDynamicPresentation is useful for your goal. This presentation
takes as entity a presentation (or a browser, given that a browser
is a presentation). Please take a look at GLMExamples
class>>browseExamples for an example of how to use this one.
Cheers,
Doru
