Hi,
At ESUG, we got a presentation of F-script (a scripting and Smalltalk language with APL like vector manipulations). Philippe the F-Script father implemented a ***really*** interesting inspector called object inspector.
See the attached file
The idea is that this behavioral inspector does not show the instance of object, but offers all the methods, when we click on a method it get executed on this object and the result is put on the right. When selecting this new object the method it understand are again displayed on his right. ....
The methods are sorted from the class (top) to the superclass (bottom). this way we see always the most specific method first.
In addtionI can select by clicking on any visual Mac element and get them into the "object browser"
if somebody would implement such an inspector for squeak this would be great to teach oo without violating encapsulation as right now with the inspector. I will try but I'm really full now.

Hi,
this looks interesting. Does it only support unary style messages or is there a way to pass in objects as parameters to (say) keyword messages.
(sorry if I missed this)
cheers

When you have argument you get a popup window for the args

Well, we Squeakers have MorphicWrappers with "argument satellites" and message grouping by category. Haven't filed it in lately though, the latest version at http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/354 seems to be for 3.2a4586.
HTH, Cheers, Helge

Sounds kinda like MorphicWrappers, incidentally. You don't need a special inspector for MW -- all morphs can do it all the time. To handle arguments, you drag the argument morphs on top of the receiver.

I know. I use Morphic Wrapper but I think that a more traditionnally looking inspector without satellite (that I hate) and having type in the air is good too.
