Hi,
i'm interested to display and change the priority of MADescription components when
the browser display Halos.
For example i have a class with descriptionA, descriptionB.
For display the priority i change the WAClassnameHaloPlugin renderOn: method.
For change i create the WAPriorityHaloPlugin.
In the relative execute method i test if component is anMAComponent : self target
description respondTo: #priority .
If yes i,m interested to open the Browser or WABrowser on the relative descriptionA.
The first question is: how i can define the name of descriptionA from anObject with
magritte structure ?
into execute context of WAPriorityHaloPlugin i see aObject with memento,
description, accessor ..... but i d'ont found link to the relative generating
descriptionA.
Given that aObject's description is a container you can iterate through the contained
descriptions looking for a match on the selector of the description.
aObject description detect: [ :each | each accessor selector = #theSelectorIWant ]
The problem is: at this level i d'ont understand the description name ( descriptionA
)relative to the magritte component.
Any magritte component ( create with descriptionA descriptionB descriptionX relative to
one class ) when rendering with halo view, is display with the relative
WAPriorityHaloPlugin anchor.
Now assume to click on anchor relative to component create with descriptionA i go
into relative 'execute' context of WAPriorityHaloPlugin where i found a specific
aObject with memento, description, accessor,
but i d'ont found, a this level, any link to the original descriptionA.
I can add property to the descriptionA define method:
descriptionA
^(MABooleanDescription new)
autoAccessor: #attivo;
checkboxLabel: 'Account attivo';
label: 'Attivo';
priority: 4030;
propertyAt: #descriptionName put: #'descriptionA';
.........
but with this solution i need to change all the descriptions.
The second question is: after change the descriptionA with the WABrowser and return to
the halo browser how i can update the view to reflect the change ?
i have do some test but for now ti need to close and reopen the view.
Descriptions are cached so sending #flush to MANamedBuilder default forces the
(container) descriptions to be rebuilt with the modified descripitons. I dont know if that
will work well in your situation.
I do MANamedBuilder default flush but not work ( the view is rendering with no change ).
I need to close and reopen the view.
I can flush the cache relative to one specific class ?
Best of luck with it
John
Thank,
Dario
