Re: [Newbies] Basic morphic Question
I had the same problem. Although it did allow me to save it as 'UnknowUI'. Then you can see the code in Widgets-Custom.

Re: [Newbies] Explorer and MessageTally [was: remembering variables]
I found something explaining the TracingMessagesBrowser and it works in the FunImage, but I still can't install it in any other image. "When you browse Squeak code, one of the browsers you will invariably use VERY frequently is a Methods browser. This browser appears whenever you browse "senders" or "implementors" of a method, or references to a class or variable, among other things. It is a two-paned browser, methods list in the upper-pane, code in the lower-pane. So just keep exploring code normally, the next time you use senders or implementors (something any Smalltalker does about 1000 times per day) you will see the Tracing Messages Browser. These browsers look the same initially, but by having the "traceMessages" preference set, they take on enhanced behavior as you "trace" method calls. The SqueakMap entry describes it well: "I look like a standard methods browser with methods in the upper pane, code in the lower. As you browse senders and implementors, the upper pane is built into a "stack" rather than opening new method browsers, reducing window profileration. Implementors are indented below the currently selected method, senders are outdented above. You end up with a flow of the execution of methods across multiple classes all in one place. The stack is quickly customized by easy-removal of unwanted methods. First, the upper pane is multi-select, and can handle rapid, sweeping gestures of the mouse without dropping selections (shift+clicking is also supported). Once methods are selected, you can quickly remove them (just from the browser) with otherwise unused Command+f." I think this browser has saved me years of closing windows.

Re: [Newbies] Explorer and MessageTally [was: remembering variables]
How do I use TracingMessagesBrowser? If I try to install it with 'Squeak Map Package Loader' I get Error: No installer found for package. (this happens in every image that I've tried). If I try to install it from MC I open the repo and click on the mcz and squeak hangs. when interrupted it says it was in HTTPSocket(OldSocket)>>waitForDataUntil: I noticed TracingMessagesBrowser is in the FunSqueak image so I tried that but I don't see any way to open it. So confusing. Thanks in advance for your help. ___ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
Re: [Newbies] remembering variables
Ah. Well, more often than not the variables in my code stay as one 'type' of thing. And I thought that generally they would otherwise things would get really confusing!? Sometimes when I try to understand how a program is working I get lost in the debugger. What I'd like is a kind of overview of what's going on. Something I can browse and focus in on the parts that seem interesting. In theory I can do this with the system browser but it doesn't tell me how everything fits together. I want to see an overview of how all the parts fit together.. Who uses what.. Which bits are connected.. The order in which things are done, etc. Can I get the debugger to show a tree of message sends, that I can browse? Something like that? Any ideas? thx.

But the problem is that a given type in the past is not any indication of a type in the future. You're not "thinking smalltalk" yet. Stop worrying about types. :) Oh, and they aren't types.

I don't *care* what types things are, as long as they don't throw a "does not understand" error when I call various methods with them. What do you think you'll be doing with the knowledge of "the most recent class a variable has been assigned"? How will you use it in your development? ___ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners

Nope, but you can either record the type (maybe write something to Transcript) or capture it in the debugger. -- Randal L.

[Newbies] managing windows in squeak
Hi. I'm new to smalltalk and squeak. I'd like to know how experienced users manage the windows when programming with squeak. I often have a lot of windows open and struggle to find the right one. Are there keyboard shortcuts for switching between windows? Is it possible to program without using the mouse at all? Does squeak have 'virtual desktops' or something like that? ___ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
