Hi julio,

From merlin side, I think you are not able yet to specify the size of a panel. But in glamour (at least for the morphic rendering) you can send to a browser:

initialExtent: 300@300 (for example)

So in your script, when you call your glamour wizard, you could have something like:

myMerlinWizard glamourWizard initialExtent: 300@300; yourself.

Then for the communication between the different panel, you will do it throught merlin. In merlin, each 'part' that you add in a panel is associated to an output key:

merlinFirstPane row: merlinFirstPanePart associatedTo: #key

You can then retrieve the output of this part in a second pane if you specify that your part require it.

merlinSecondPanePart defaultValue: [:requiredInputs | (requiredInputs at: #key) ... ]

merlinSecondPane row: merlinSecondPanePart requiring: #key

This allow you specify a default value (default selection) of a part according the value returned by anorther part.
Is it what you are looking for ?

If you want want to do more than setting the default value/selection of a part, merlin provide for now a 'hacky' way to do nearly everything you want when the selected value (/output) of a part change. Each merlin part should understand the message 'callback:', in which you specify a block that will be executed when the selected value (/output) of this part change. For example you could have:

merlinFirstPanePart
...
callback: [:outputValue | merlinSecondPanePart doSomethingWithTheOutputValue ... ];
...

Does it help you more ?

Hi Cyrille!

Yes it served me good!

I have now two things taht I want to do: first, I need reduce the size of my panel. When it started by menu, it gets larger then needed, so how i can modify the size of this panel? Second, I need too provide a communication between myPanel and aonther panel, in other words, I want pass a parameter that is informed into myPanel to anotherPanel, how I can do it?

Thanks in advance!
