Help with subclass of Dialog please

[Graham Dicker]

Hi everyone

I have forgotten how to arrange for a subclass of dialog to pass input
values to a model and then display the results. I have a dialog that has
some numeric fields which are inputs and some other numeric fields that are
outputs and there is a button the user clicks that should cause the dialog
to pass the inputs to the model and then have the outputs updated. The model
is called a DiscModel and the Presenter is called DiscDialog and in the
createComponents I have

super createComponents.
outerPresenter := self add: NumberPresenter new name: 'outer'.
innerPresenter := self add: NumberPresenter new name: 'inner'.
anglePresenter := self add: NumberPresenter new name: 'angle'.
widthPresenter := self add: NumberPresenter new name: 'width'.
lengthPresenter := self add: NumberPresenter new name: 'length'.
profilePresenter := self add: NumberPresenter new name: 'profile'.

the first three are inputs and the second three are outputs.

and in the model: method of the presenter I have put:

model: aDiscModel

"Set the model associated with the receiver."

| aspectBuffer |
super model: aDiscModel.

aspectBuffer := self model.
outerPresenter model: (aspectBuffer aspectValue: #outer).
innerPresenter model: (aspectBuffer aspectValue: #inner).
anglePresenter model: (aspectBuffer aspectValue: #angle).
widthPresenter model: (aDiscModel width).
lengthPresenter model: (aDiscModel length).
profilePresenter model: (aDiscModel profile).

but the values in the fields are not updating properly

Thanks

Hi,

Try:

widthPresenter value: (aDiscModel width).
lengthPresenter value: (aDiscModel length).
profilePresenter value: (aDiscModel profile).

It depends on what you want...

Thanks Bruno, but no it still doesn't update. Should I have something called
createSchematicWiring or something to trigger updates in the "Calculate"
button handler?

If the inputs are changed and the you need to recalculated it, then
you need:
createSchematicWiring
super createSchematicWiring.
outerPresenter when: #valueChanged send: #updateOutputs to: self.
innerPresenter when: #valueChanged send: #updateOutputs to: self.
anglePresenter when: #valueChanged send: #updateOutputs to: self.

updateOutputs
model doSomeStuff.
widthPresenter value: (model width).
lengthPresenter value: (model length).
profilePresenter value: (model profile).

Every time you modify any of outerPresenter, innerPresenter ,
anglePresenter the #updateOutputs should be triggered.

Bruno
