Hi,
Despite of my advances studying Glamorous Toolkit and making some
advances on "apps" and interfaces, I really don't understand well the
concept of ports and auto-update of values. So I started with a small
excercise from the transcript example as proposed in the GT blog[1]. Its
working as expected, so try to extend the example with a code that shows
my incomplete understanding at [2]. My idea was to create a two panels
browser showing an array. Left panel show a list, and right one was a
text with the selected value of the list. When the values at the right
were updated the list at the left was updated also. Because this was not
working I create a Transcript trying to show if changes on the right
where captured. I have seen the three inter-dependant panes example,
but still I don't get it right. So my questions are:
[1] http://ws.stfx.eu/L277ESMZYIF3
[2] http://ws.stfx.eu/1FOA0OWJ8PWA
a) How can I send the changes in values from the right panel to the one
of the left?
Thanks,
Offray

Hi,
The first problem I see is that you look for the change of port in the
browser, not in the text presentation.
Try by adding onChangeOfPort: inside the text presentation creation block.
Here is a full snippet for that:

If you only want to update the selection, what you need to do is to:
- populate a port in the right pane with the value you want to set as
selection, and
- create a transmission that links that port with the selection port of the
left pane.
Here is a working example:
http://ws.stfx.eu/K6QW6B8FKGAK
To play with it:
- select a
- then press the play button on the right pane
==> b gets selected in the first pane.

Thanks Doru,
Surely this is something I will use in my Grafoscopio project and if
fact was a question I was to ask. If fact, what if I want to go to the
next value of the list, not just from a or c to b, but from a to b and
from b to c? How the code must be changed?
Looking at your code my question about ports is clearer. When you say:
andShow: [:v |
v text
populate: #myWantedSelection
icon: GLMUIThemeExtraIcons glamorousPlay
entitled: 'Update my wanted selection'
with: [ #b ] ].
v is what kind of object? and "populate:" is defining a new port?
In this part:
browser transmit from: #right port: #myWantedSelection; to: #left port:
#selection.
what is a port? a piece of interface? for example the selection?
My current question is more about changing the value on the right panel
and getting it auto-updated in the left one. In another post of this
thread I have updated my advances and questions.
Thanks,
Offray

If you want to find answers to questions like this, simply put a halt in
the code :)
"v" is something you named. I just edited your code. "v" will be an
instance of GLMCompositePresentation.
In this part:
browser transmit from: #right port: #myWantedSelection; to: #left port:
#selection.
what is a port? a piece of interface? for example the selection?

Hi,
My idea came with the auto-update feature of the Transcript.
Imagine I have this two panes browser. Left show a list with values, non
editable. Right shows the selected value on the right as text and the
user can write on it. Suppose I selected the 'a' value on the left list
and start to write on the right panel changing, the 'a' value for 'this
is a test' and get the selected value changed in real time via
auto-update on the left panel, without any explicit button or event
except for the writing itself.
It's a way to circumvent the fact that list/trees are not editable
directly and use panels, ports, transmissions and auto-update to get
changes reflected in real time.
Still don't know if I'm explaining myself better (its kind of a deja-vu
as a newbie in this community) but let me know how can I made this user
example better.

Hi again,
On [1] I have my new experiment:
[1] http://ws.stfx.eu/FC5EQX66TWMA
This shows the current index and the changes on the text port in the
Transcript, but when the uncomment the line
"data at: (data indexOf: value) put: textPresentation text asString"
I get a message "SubscriptOutOfBounds after typing the first change on
the selected element. This is understandable because, as the error
window shows, now I have and updated array, but the value that I'm
looking for is not updated.
There is any way to update the value?
Thanks,
Offray
Ps: By the way, sharing code and questions on it using stfx.eu is really
good for me. I know the code is published for future reference and
uploadable with ZnWorkspace. Just some suggestions:
- To have numbered code lines, to refer and specific line of a published
code.
- Would be nice to open the code in a playground instead of a classic
workspace. They're more interactive and newbie friendly.
- Can the code be published optionally with the author? I imagine
searching for the code I have posted on stfx for solving some future
questions.
