I came up with some code (see below) to help figure out the design of
complicated objects.
I'd like to reduce the method to only one parameter, but I don't know if
it's possible to do.
An example, showing how this can be used:
UITheme class >> exampleOtherControls has a large object (16 lines!), about
2/3rds down, that starts with:
dialog newTitle: 'Expanders' for: (
which is one of the elements of inside this object (found way at the top)
dialog contentMorph: (dialog newRow: {
What is that object?
Change it to:
v1 := dialog newTitle: 'Expanders' for: (
And add this line at the end of the method:
MyTool var: 'v1' class: v1.
(Also must add v1 to the method's temporary variables:
|dialog builder image emboss fuzzy v1 | )
Now run UITheme exampleOtherControls with a Transcript window open.
It shows this:
v1 - PanelMorph
