Return an aoplication of selected (active) workspace or nil,
is currently selected workspace is not an embedded

change & update
o  infoVisibilityChanged
#CodeView.

o  toolBarVisibilityChanged
force it to recompute its dimension

o  update: something with: aParameter from: changedObject
(comment from inherited method)
dependent is notified of some change -
Default is to try update:with:

o  updateLabelOfSelectedWorkspaceForFile: filename

o  windowLabelPrefix

aButton passiveLevel:1.

o  initialize

o  postBuildWith: aBuilder
(comment from inherited method)
this is sent after an interface is built from a spec,
but only iff the appModel is not the same as the topView's app
(i.e. if it is not a build for the same appModel again).
In the other case, postBuildAsSubcanvasWith is invoked.
Can be redefined in subclasses for additional setup after
the view has been built, but not yet opened.
