[Moose-dev] Question on Glamour

Hi All, David R. and I are playing with Glamour, a cool framework to define browsers. Currently, the Moose browser @ Pharo uses OB. Although it works fine, it sticks to the Smalltalk way of browsing code, which we find a bit limited. I apology in advance for cutting & pasting code here. We defined the following method: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= mooseFinder | browser | browser := GLMFinder new . browser list display: [:each | each entities]; when: [:each | "(each isKindOf: MooseAbstractGroup)" each == MooseModel root ]. browser list title: 'Classes'; display: [:each | each allClasses ]; when: [:each | (each isKindOf: MooseAbstractGroup) and: [each allClasses notEmpty] ]. browser list title: 'Methods'; display: [:each | each allMethods ]; when: [:each | (each isKindOf: MooseAbstractGroup) and: [each allMethods notEmpty] ]. browser list title: 'Superclasses'; display: [:each | each superclassHierarchyGroup ]; when: [:each | (each isKindOf: FAMIXClass) and: [each superclassHierarchyGroup notEmpty]]. browser list title: 'Subclasses'; display: [:each | each subclassHierarchy ]; when: [:each | (each isKindOf: FAMIXClass) and: [each subclassHierarchy notEmpty]]. ^ browser -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= It shows up a small MacOSX-like finder that shows classes, superclasses and subclasses. Very cool! Few questions now: - Lists (Classes, Methods, Superclasses, Subclasses) are statically defined. In Moose however, these are defined with pragmas. How can we describe the automatic generations of lists? - If we want to embed this browser into a bigger one, how do we pass the right-most selected element ? Using a GLMTableLayoutBrowser, one would do a "browser sendTo: #outer -> #selectedElement from: #element" (modulo names). Here, we need something like "browser sendTo: #outer -> #lastSelection".
