Hi Nicolai,
That was the issue. Now it's working! I was trying to test different
combinations to see why UI updating was not happening but I got the
variations wrong (one true, another false, instead of both false :-) ).
The next step I'm working on in populating the GTPlayPage with some
particular content. In my previous interface I made something like this:
-[1]---------------------
GrafoscopioBrowser>>panelAsCodeFor: aNode
"Shows an interactive playground for Smalltalk code in a node body"
browser := GLMTabulator new.
browser title: 'Código'.
browser column: #code.
browser transmit
to: #code;
transformed: [ GTPlayPage new content: aNode body ];
andShow: [ :a | a custom: GTPlayground new ].
browser sendToOutside: #nodeBody from: #code -> #text.
^ browser.
------------------------
In this one I tried some variation of GlamourPresentationModel>>glmPres
that let the user predefine a content for the GTPlayPage like this:
-[2]----------------------
glmPresWithContent: aString
glmPres isNil ifTrue:[
glmPres := GTPlayground new startOn: (GTPlayPage new content:
aString)].
^glmPres
---------------------------
but if I try running the interface with this//I get:
"MessageNotUnderstood: GlamourPresentationModel>>content:", so I think
that something more is needed to create Playgrounds in the Spec-Glamour
that are pre-populated with content.
How can I create a playground inside a Spec-Glamour interface that is
already populated with a given content?
Thanks,
Offray

Hi,
I've reading the code at [1] but I'm still having problems
understanding the dynamic spec. I have created a small dictionary
and populated with data, then created the accessors and
initializePresenter, initializeWidgets and rebuildWithdCodeLayout
and rebuildWithTextLayout, as you can see on the following
snippets, but nothing happens despite the debugging Transcript is
showing me that the content subwidget has the proper model, but is
not rebuild in the GUI.
Any help is, as always, very much appreciated.
Hi Offray,
I think you have to call
self needRebuild: false.
in both rebuild... methods.
Otherwise the all "inner"-widgets are rebuild:
[1]
https://github.com/spec-framework/documentation/blob/master/output/book.md#rebuildDynamically
----------------------
DynamicDict>>initializeWidgets
| data |
data := { 'first' -> 'I\"m just text' . 'second' -> 'ProfStef
openPharoZenWorkspace'} asOrderedDictionary.
list := self newList.
list items: data keys.
content := self newText.
self focusOrder
add: list;
add: content.
----------------------
DynamicDict>>initializePresenter
list whenSelectedItemChanged: [:item |
item = 'first'
ifTrue: [ self rebuildWithTextLayout ].
item = 'second'
ifTrue: [ self rebuildWithCodeLayout ].
]
----------------------
DynamicDict>>rebuildWithCodeLayout
| newLayout |
content := self instantiate: GlamourPresentationModel.
newLayout := SpecLayout composed
newRow: [:row |
row
add: #list right: 0.7;
add: #content left: 0.3];
yourself.
self needRebuild: true.
content needRebuild: true.
Transcript show: 'código + ', self content asString, String cr.
self buildWithSpecLayout: newLayout.
----------------------
DynamicDict>>rebuildWithTextLayout
| newLayout |
content := self newText.
newLayout := SpecLayout composed
newRow: [:row |
row
add: #list right: 0.7;
add: #content left: 0.3];
yourself.
self needRebuild: false.
list needRebuild: false.
content needRebuild: true.
Transcript show: 'texto + ', self content asString, String cr..
self buildWithSpecLayout: newLayout.
----------------------
Cheers,
Offray

From what I understand and what I can see in your code, you want
to modify a widget when the UI is open. However you never trigger
the rebuilding of the window. For example, see the Spec docs that
I sent, where in 9.1 there is code that calls buildWithSpecLayout: .
Actually, I am not sure you need to subclass
DynamicComposableModel since the number of widgets never changes.
You can use a normal ComposableModel subclass and use what is
detailed in 9.1 to change the layout between the two options you
want to have (a TextModel or a GlamourPresentationModel).
