[Cuis-dev] the demo challenge in Smalltalk

[Robert Chifflet]

Wrong.

The handles give

inspect model

and that object is a TextModel

Really we mean


 TextEditor halt; open.

open

^ SystemWindow editText: TextModel new label: 'Text Editor' wrap: true

and that leads to

editText: aTextModel label: labelString wrap: aBoolean
| window |
window := self new model: aTextModel.

...

The model is not the TextEditor


The demo via code is a failure.

The demo via GUI is a failure.

I will have to fake this to do the demo from the UI.

Try it with a young pupil, that is my invitation.

They may state the obvious: But the TextEditor is not the model.

You see my issue ?

thanks for DrGeo. Your own work is amazing.

My task is merely frustrating.
