Hi Laurent. Sounds like a cool idea and is possible. You'd likely need to modify SystemWindow somewhat to deal with being within a tab (remove grips, forward label changes to the tab, handle activation (TopWindow stuff might be tricky) etc.). You'd also want an option (perhaps a button in the tab label) to break the window out again.
For some of this you could get some ideas from StandardWindow with respect to fullscreen, #noteNewOwner: Regards, Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: laurent laffont To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2011 5:20 PM Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Tab widget improvements Hi Gary, I wanted to try what follows while coding TWM, maybe with your magic super powers its easy :) Create a SystemWindow subclass: #TabbedWindow (or better name). In this window's menu there's the list of all other SystemWindows. When you click on it, the window goes as tab. So I can group several windows in a tabbed container. Like the group windows feature of KDE. See http://blip.tv/sebastian-kgler/window-managing-features-in-kde-plasma-4-4-3180359 at 1'50. Is it hard ? Idea how to do this ? Laurent.

Provides scrolling buttons when insufficient room for all tabs and displays only tabs for which there is room! (excepting at least one). Can optionally set wrapScrolling on the TabSelectorMorph to allow wraparound scrolling via the buttons. Do we put that in 1.3 or 1.4? http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?thanks=4376 -- Marcus Denker -- http://www.marcusdenker.de INRIA Lille -- Nord Europe.
