But if we imagine that variable is an object which holding some value, it works similarly then e.g. you assign the value to variable, and setter answers the variable itself (as a receiver of message) but not its value. > Luc > > >> Stef >> >> On Sep 1, 2013, at 3:02 PM, Alexandre Bergel <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >> > Hi! >> > >> > I am facing a strange situation: >> > >> > The following expression raises an error: >> > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >> > rawView add: (helpLabel := (ROElement on: 'Click here!') + ROLabel). >> > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >> > >> > Apparently, what is sent as argument to #add: is an integer. >> > >> > I have to update my code with : >> > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >> > (helpLabel := (ROElement on: 'Click here!') + ROLabel). >> > rawView add: helpLabel. >> > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >> > >> > To not have an error. >> > >> > This is really strange!
