and legacy MVC support
but the first test that I make gives a ScheduledControllers that is nil.
Both BitEditor and FormEditor appear unusable.
I looked in Monticello and the Universe browser but I see no relevant package to retrieve.
The package ToolBuilder-MVC retains this gem:
isActiveBuilderSo something is amiss. I am looking for a dependency framework - events, or Announcements or whatever in this image.
"Answer whether I am the currently active builder"
"This is really a way of answering whether 'Smalltalk isMVC'"
ScheduledControllers ifNil:[^false].
In Kernel-Objects package the Object class has a class variable DependentsFields.
In Kernel-Model package Model has an instance var named dependents.
But I see no tests for MVC.
There had been a Tweak package and a code.google.com project to revive MVC in Squeak. Perhaps more interesting is Announcements in Pharo and the coming changes to Model-View-Presenter in Dolphin Smalltalk.
Abstractions are needed. MVC could be complex and Morphic seems best for direct manipulation rather than for traditional GUI applications. I like the admissions made at Dolphin for their candor - and I like working in Dolphin when all that I need is a Windows app or tool over at http://apps.logiquewerks.com/ST
note: the method >>isMVC is not available.
BUT. There is an answer. You need to start a new project which is an MVC project.
And now you are in as old a Smalltalk as you can imagine: an ST-80. Oh vey. This is not offering an MVC option. This is a collapsible Model-A in the cargo space of your auto-plane.
This is not Smalltalk the programming environment, but Smalltalk the split-environment for a house divided among partisans, some laboring under a tax of 90%, some under a flat-10%.
