Hi! I am building a wizard and I am stopped on something that looks trivial. Consider the following script: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | control firstPane lastPane part1 dropListPart part2 | control := WizardControl new. firstPane := WizardFirstPane new. lastPane := WizardLastPane new. control addPane: firstPane; addPane: lastPane. "First pane: picking the configuration we are interested in" part1 := TextPart new inGroupboxNamed: 'Select the configuration you want to load versions from'. firstPane addPart: part1 associatedTo: #selectedConfiguration. dropListPart := DropListPart new inGroupboxNamed: 'Configurations'; list: self listOfConfigurations; useLatePopulateContents: false; yourself. firstPane row: dropListPart associatedTo: #selectedConfiguration2. "Second pane" part2 := MultiSelectionItemSelectorPart new initialList: ([:input | {input at: #selectedConfiguration2}]). lastPane addPart: part2 associatedTo: #selectedVersions. "Open the controler" control open. ^ control -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The problem is that I do not know how to initialize the MultiSelectionItemSelectorPart in the second pane since I need the result of what I selected in part1. I tried to inspire myself from the merlin example #itemsSelectorPartUsing: , but without success. So, how part2 can refer to the result selected in part1 ?

Hi Alex. I had similar problems for AspectMaps and was also surprised that Merlin did not have built-in flow of data between different panes. So I built a hack. What I do is to initialize the second pane with dummy data, and then have a callback of the first pane replace the dummy data with real data. The code that does this is below: AspectMapsUI >>importWizard "Second pane contents is actually built using callback of first pane" "Third pane contents is actually built using callback of second pane" | wizard aiPane psPane javaPane resultPane labelPart filePart importConfigs | wizard := WizardControl new. importConfigs := OrderedCollection new. " == aspect info pane == " aiPane := WizardFirstPane named: 'Please choose a .xcr aspect file.'. filePart := (ChooseFilePart new) validExtensions: #(xcr). filePart callback: [:fileName | self projectSelectFrom: fileName forWizard: wizard andConfig: importConfigs ]. aiPane row: filePart associatedTo: #aspectInfoFile. wizard addPane: aiPane. "== project select pane ==" psPane := WizardMiddlePane named: 'Please select which projects to import'. psPane row: (LabelPart on: 'This will be removed by the callback'). wizard addPane: psPane. "== java source select pane ==" javaPane := WizardMiddlePane named: 'Please provide Java data'. javaPane row: (LabelPart on: 'This will be removed by the callback'). wizard addPane: javaPane. " == last pane with report of what will be done == " resultPane := WizardLastPane named: 'Will Import'. javaPane row: (LabelPart on: 'This will be removed by the callback'). wizard addPane: resultPane. wizard atEndDo: [ :outDict | self importProjects: importConfigs aspects: (outDict at: #aspectInfoFile) ]; open On 17 Oct 2011, at 10:50, Alexandre Bergel wrote:

Are you sure that you cannot get the result of the previous pane? Because it looks strange to me. Stef On Oct 18, 2011, at 4:45 AM, Johan Fabry wrote:

Yes, you can in some Parts. You can check the examples #multiSelectionItemsSelectorPartUsing: #itemsSelectorPartUsing: #parametrizedChexboxesUsing: #parametrizedDropListsUsing:. The problem is that is not implemented for MultiSelectionItemSelectorPart.

Sorry, I did not pay attention and I only answered to alex Here was the answer: I think that here you should specify something like: lastPane addPart: part2 associatedTo: #selectedVersions requiring: #selectedConfiguration2. Like that the input of the MultiSelectionItemSelectorPart get populated with output of the dropListPart. That means that the line: part2 := MultiSelectionItemSelectorPart new initialList: ([:input | {input at: #selectedConfiguration2}]). will work corectly. Now, like andre said, this is possible that this mechanism does not work well for MultiSelectionItemSelectorPart I can have a look today 2011/10/18 Andre Hora <andrehoraa(a)gmail.com>

I just looked and indeed , for now, there is no 'easy' way to set a default list to a 'list-kind' part. The best for now is to do it like johan did. I will check that today 2011/10/18 Cyrille Delaunay <cy.delaunay(a)gmail.com>

Yep, this is what I just discovered. Alexandre

Humm... I do not really understand what #projectSelectFrom: fileName forWizard: wizard andConfig: importConfigs is supposed to do. How does the callback to modify the two panes? Alexandre On 17 Oct 2011, at 23:45, Johan Fabry wrote:

Let say you have two lists: listPart1 and listPart2 (one in a first pane and the other one on the second pane). You can write something like: listPart1 callback: [:output | listPart2 list: {output}. ] I think you want to do something like that ? The right solution (not implemented for now) would be to have a method like: listPart2 defaultList: [:requiredInputs | .... ] Like that we don't have to refer directly the other part 2011/10/18 Alexandre Bergel <alexandre.bergel(a)me.com>

Oops, sorry. Jetlag ... Here is what happens in the first callback to fillin the 2nd pane. Note that it adds a callback to fill in the 3rd pane (and this pattern repeats itself). The code is in the Squeaksource AspectMaps repository, if you want to see everything. AspectMapsUI>>projectSelectFrom: aFilename forWizard: aWizard andConfig: aConfigCollection | psPane stream pnames projname | "aFilename is first processed to extract the names of the eclipse projects" pnames := OrderedCollection new. stream := (CrLfFileStream fileNamed: aFilename). stream position: 0. stream nextLine. "skip 'Projects list'" [((projname := stream nextLine) = '')not] whileTrue:[pnames add: projname]. stream close. aConfigCollection removeAll. psPane := aWizard wizardPanes at: 2. psPane removeAllParts. pnames do: [ :name | | cbx config| config := AMImportConfig new projectName: name. aConfigCollection add: config. cbx := CheckboxPart new label: name. cbx defaultValue: config doImport. cbx callback: [ :state | config doImport: state. self changeJavaSourcePaneOf: aWizard with: aConfigCollection.]. psPane row: cbx associatedTo: name.].
