NewtApp Applications
Using NewtApp
4-23
Certain slots must be added to these base view slots for your application to be able
to utilize the false entry view and the slot views. First, you must be sure to add a
target
slot and
targetView
slot, so that the false entry view can set them when
an entry is changed. Second, you should include a method that sends the
Retarget
message to the false entry view when an entry is changed. As an
example, you may wish to implement the following method, or one like it:
baseView.DoReTargeting := func()
theFalseEntryView:Retarget()
There are several places in your code where this message could be sent. For
instance, if your application scrolls through entries, you should send the
DoReTargeting
message, defined above, to
ViewScrollUpScript
and
ViewScrollDownScript
. Following is an example of a
ViewScrollUpScript
method that scrolls through soup entries:
func()
begin
EntryChange(target);
cardSoupCursor:Prev();
:ResetTarget();
:DoRetargeting();
end
Other places where you may want to send the
Retarget
message include a
delete action method, a
ViewSetupDoneScript
method (which executes
immediately before a view is displayed or redisplayed), or even the
ButtonClickScript
method of a button that generates new entries and
thus changes the soup and its display.
Using a False Entry View

The example used here, in which the
newtFalseEntryView
is implemented, is
a non-NewtApp application that supports the use of slot views. If you want to adopt
slot views into an existing application, you must use
newtFalseEntryView
.
Once you have an application base view set up, you may add the following slots to
your
newtFalseEntryView
:
Add a
dataCursorSlot
and set it to the symbol
'cardSoupCursor
. This
symbol should match a slot defined in your application base view. The slot may
be omitted if your base application view's cursor slot is set to the default name
dataCursor
.
Add a
dataSoupSlot
and set it to the symbol
'cardSoup
. This symbol
should match a slot defined in your application base view. The slot may be
