I will defenitly look into that. The "rebuild" may be missleading, is it
also called at first building ?
The hooks are basically here, but the Morphs have an issue with this.

Well, I can't even manage to tweak it through hardcoding stuff on the
adapter :p
Do you think it would be hard to use a SimpleSwitchMorph ? As I understood,
there is #asSpecAdapter that permis to plug pretty much everything ? Plus,
making a specific adapter seems doable (I mean for a rookie like me).

Well, I definitely have a variable number of buttons, depending on the
model instance. Actualy, I want my model to be a matrix of toggle to
specify a mask. I create instance with:
MaskModel class>#maxIndex: anInteger
^(self basicNew)
maxIndex: anInteger;
initialize;
yourself
and instantiate a collection of buttons in #initializeWidgets.
It doesn't change much after that so a DynamicComposableModel didn't seem
usefull. But I only though that because I never used it. I will give it a
try.
Anyway, thanks again for your time !
