testing

hasOwnScrollbars: a hack for codeView2, which behaves like a TextView, but has its own
scrollbars embedded - sigh (an extra load one).
This allows for the UIBuilder to avoid creating an extra set around such
a view (as is the case with TextSpec with scrollbars when using CodeView2)

Instance protocol:

accessing

acceptAction: aBlock
acceptEnabled: aBoolean
breakpoints
browser
codeAspect
codeAspect: aSymbol: tell the textView what is shown, so it can adjust the
syntaxhighlighter.
See SyntaxHighlighter codeAspectXXX for possible aspects.
compareAction: aBlock
compilerClass
compilerClass: aClass
contents
contents: aStringOrStringCollection: self update:#value with: aStringOrStringCollection from: textView model
contents: aStringOrStringCollection clear: clearPrevious: Set the contents. If clearPrevous is true, then
previous original text is cleared and set to given one.
(so the text is considered not modified)
contentsWithoutEmphasis
currentParseNode
delegate: anObject: I want to see the events of the text and gutter view
diffMode
diffMode: aBoolean
editedMethodOrClass: aMethodOrClass: Sets the edited method or class (for code completion and highlighting)
font: return the current drawing font.
Forward from my textview
font: aFont: (comment from inherited method)
set the font for drawing if it has changed.
This should be redefined in some widget to perform an automatic
redraw/invalidate. See also: #basicFont:
mode
mode: aSymbol: is this the same as codeAspect ?
model: (comment from inherited method)
return nil - simpleViews have no model (only providing geometric)
model: newModel
modified: return true if text was modified
modified: aBoolean: set/clear the modified flag
services
services: aCollectionOfServices: allow setting of the services (instances);
this is needed for FileBrowser, to setup a codeView2 without Smalltalk-specific
services
servicesFromClient
showAcceptCancelBar
showGutter
simulatedContext: anObject: the context (or mimicri) to be used in doIts
simulatedSelf: the self to be used in doIts
simulatedSelf: anObject: the self to be used in doIts
smallLintRulesHolder: aHolder: if set, this is returned and the browser is not asked
synchronizeWith: aCodeView
unsynchronizeWith: aCodeView
xOriginOfContents: (comment from inherited method)
return the x coordinate of the viewOrigin in pixels;
used by scrollBars to compute thumb position within the document.
yOriginOfContents: (comment from inherited method)
return the y coordinate of the viewOrigin in pixels;
used by scrollBars to compute thumb position within the document.

accessing-behavior

expandTabsWhenUpdating: return the tab expansion behavior.
If true (the default), the list of lines as given via #list: or
due to a model update is processed and lines are replaced by lines with
tabs expanded.
This behavior is ok in 99.99% of all applications.
However, you may turn this off iff:
- you are certain, that no tabs are in the passed in list
- it is very expensive to process the list (for example, because the list
is defined by a virtual array, which computes the lines dynamically, on the fly).
One use where this flag should be turned off is in the hex-memory display,
which is able to simulate texts with millions of lines, but they are actually
simulated by generating the presented lines dynamically, as they are displayed.
Notice, that to totally prevent scanning og the whole text, you may have to turn off
other flags, such as checkineEndConventionWhenUpdating
expandTabsWhenUpdating: aBoolean: define the tab expansion behavior.
If true (the default), the list of lines as given via #list: or
due to a model update is processed and lines are replaced by lines with

readOnly: aBoolean: ignored here; present for compatibility with some textView subclasses,
so that UIPainter can handle it in its TextView spec (which contains a
readOnly field)

sendersOf: selector: not exact, but much faster (looks for symbol only, does not parse code for real send)

delegation

commentStrings: anArrayOfCommentStrings
doesNotUnderstand: aMessage: (comment from inherited method)
this message is sent by the runtime system (VM) when
a message is not understood by some object (i.e. there
is no method for that selector). The original message has
been packed into aMessage (i.e. the receiver, selector and
any arguments) and the original receiver is then sent the
#doesNotUnderstand: message.
Here, we raise another signal which usually enters the debugger.
You can of course redefine #doesNotUnderstand: in your classes
to implement message delegation,
or handle the MessageNotUnderstood exception gracefully.
executeDoIt: theCode
hasSelection: true if there us a text selection
takeFocus: (comment from inherited method)
Unconditionally take the focus from my windowGroup
textFromCharacterPosition: start to: end
trimBlankLines: shouldTrimBoolean

delegation-events

buttonMotion: button x: x y: y in: view: Delegates events to services. Answers true iff at least
one service handler method returns true. In that case,
the event is is NOT processes by the view.
buttonMultiPress: button x: x y: y in: view: Delegates events to services. Answers true iff at least
one service handler method returns true. In that case,
the event is is NOT processes by the view.
buttonPress: button x: x y: y in: view: Possibly delegate event a service.
Answers true (i.e. event was handled) iff at least
one service handler method returns true.
In that case, the event is is NOT processes by the view.
Notice, that this is called both for events in the gutter AND for events in the text.
buttonRelease: button x: x y: y in: view: Delegates events to services. Answers true iff at least
one service handler method returns true. In that case,
the event is is NOT processes by the view.
highlightClassVariable: varName: interface from browser (when a class var is selected)
highlightInstanceVariable: varName: interface from browser (when an inst var is selected)
highlightVariableNamed: varName: interface for whoever likes it
keyPress: key x: x y: y in: view: Delegates events to services. Answers true iff at least
one service handler method returns true. In that case,
the event is is NOT processes by the view.
keyRelease: key x: x y: y in: view: Delegates events to services. Answers true iff at least
one service handler method returns true. In that case,

diff mode

recomputeDiff: view

initialize & release

defaultServices

used to call "CodeViewService availableServices",

initialize

Invoked when a new instance is created.

Usage example(s):

initialize methods

initializeGutterViewIn: parentView

initializeServices

only do it, if the services have not yet been defined by the user of this view

initializeTextView

Initialize textView. gutterView has to be already initialized!

release

(comment from inherited method)
remove all dependencies from the receiver

scrollable: aBoolean

must be called before initailized (i.e. after basicNew),
to suppress the scrollbar. Useful for synced2TextView,
which wants a single scrollbar for multiple views.

menu actions

accept: (comment from inherited method)
accept the current contents by executing the accept-action and/or changeMessage.

browseImplementorsOfIt
browseSendersOfIt
copySelection
copySelectionBox
cut
doIt

debugMenu
editMenu: install the standard 'more' menu into my own menu
implementorsMenu: self windowGroup withWaitCursorDo:[
implementorsMenu: implementors selector: selector
sendersMenu: self windowGroup withWaitCursorDo:[
sendersMenu: senders selector: selector
servicesMenu: disabled, because this menu is now on the gutter,

private

codeCompletion: I found this code 3 times (CodeView2, NewSystemBrowser and DebugView) - smells a lot!
reallyModified: check for modified code by comparing the source against
the codeView's contents.
That's the true modified value
(in case user undid his changes, and the displayed text is actually original)
showInfo: message

private-accessing

gutterView
syntaxElementSelection
syntaxElementSelection: anElement: anElement isNil ifTrue:[
syntaxElements
syntaxElements: aCollection
textView: return my textView component
textViewScroller: may be nil, if my textview is unscolled

queries-contents

heightOfContents: (comment from inherited method)
return the height of the contents in logical units
- defaults to view's visible area here.
This method MUST be redefined in all view classess which are
going to be scrolled AND show data which has different size than
the view. For example, a view showing A4-size documents should return
the number of vertical pixels such a document has on this device.
A view showing a bitmap of height 1000 should return 1000.
If not redefined, scrollbars have no way of knowing the actual size
of the contents being shown. This is called by scrollBars to compute
the relative height of the document vs. the view's actual size.
The value returned here must be based on a scale of 1, since users
of this will scale as appropriate.
widthOfContents: (comment from inherited method)
return the width of the contents in logical units
- defaults to views visible area here.
This method MUST be redefined in all view classess which are
going to be scrolled AND show data which has different size than
the view. For example, a view showing A4-size documents should return
the number of horizontal pixels such a document has on this device.
A view showing a bitmap of width 500 should return 500.
If not redefined, scrollbars have no way of knowing the actual size
of the contents being shown. This is called by scrollBars to compute
the relative width of the document vs. the view's actual width.
The value returned here must be based on a scale of 1, since users
of this will scale as appropriate.

realization

disableAllServices
enableAllServices
postRealize: (comment from inherited method)
invoked after a view was realized.
Can be redefined in subclasses to perform delayed actions.

redrawing

clearScrollbarBackground: immediate change the scroller to showing nothing;
flash: (comment from inherited method)
flash the view - fill it black, then white, finally
redraw completely.
Can be used to wakeup the user :-)
when problem or warning conditions arise.
Someone may redefine this to flash its contents (instead of black/white).
flash: aString: flash the view and show aString for a moment.
flash: messageOrNil withColor: flashColor: delegated to my textview

scrolling

horizontalScrollStep: (comment from inherited method)
return the amount to scroll when stepping left/right.
Subclasses may want to redefine this.
scrollDown: nLines: (comment from inherited method)
change origin to scroll down some pixels
scrollDownLines: nLines
scrollHorizontalToPercent: p: (comment from inherited method)
scroll to a position given in percent of total
scrollLeft: (comment from inherited method)
scroll left by some amount; this is called when the scrollbars
scroll-step left button is pressed.
scrollLeft: nPixels: (comment from inherited method)
change origin to scroll left some pixels
scrollRight: (comment from inherited method)
scroll right by some amount; this is called when the scrollbars
scroll-step right button is pressed.
scrollRight: nPixels: (comment from inherited method)
change origin to scroll right some pixels
scrollTo: newOrigin: (comment from inherited method)
change origin to have newOrigin be visible at the top-left.
The argument defines the integer device coordinates of the new top-left
point.
scrollToLine: lineNr
scrollUp: nLines: (comment from inherited method)
change origin to scroll up (towards the origin) by some pixels
scrollUpLines: nLines
scrollVerticalToPercent: p: (comment from inherited method)
scroll to a position given in percent of total
verticalScrollStep: (comment from inherited method)
return the amount to scroll when stepping up/down (also used for mouseWheel).
Subclasses may want to redefine this.
viewOrigin: (comment from inherited method)
return the viewOrigin; that's the coordinate of the contents
which is shown topLeft in the view
(i.e. the origin of the visible part of the contents).

services

breakpointService: that one or nil
breakpointService: newServiceOrNil: set the breakpoint service

testing

isCodeView2: (comment from inherited method)
codeview2 seems to require some extra hacks
