ProjectEditor in exported App?

Post by MSandro » Apr 23rd, '18, 19:06

Hi, I've tried around a lot to enable all GP features in a exported app, like import classes or media. Functions which needs a ProjectEditor to work. It was no problem to start a project with the ProjectEditor in a exported app, but the problem is, how to prevent the pressentation-mode from beeing exited?

First I've changed the AppMaker.gp like the following:

Code: Select all

method startupFile AppMaker {
  return '
to startup {
  setGlobal ''vectorTrails'' false
  openProjectEditorApp
}
'
}

to openProjectEditorApp {
  setGlobal 'alanMode' false
  setGlobal 'app' true
  page = (newPage 800 500)
  setDevMode page false
  setGlobal 'page' page
  open page true
  editor = (initialize (new 'ProjectEditor') (emptyProject))
  addPart page editor
  pageResized editor
  developerModeChanged editor
  enterPresentation editor
  openProjectFromFile (last (allInstances 'Stage')) 'project.gpp'
  startSteppingSafely page true
  broadcast 'go'
}
Now I've focused on how to prevent the pressentation mode from beeing closed. I've added a global variable named "app" to check if GP was opened as exported app and added a some code to the morphicFramework.gp:

Code: Select all

method interactionLoop Page {
  while true {
    doOneCycle this
    if (and (global 'app') (not (isPresenting (last (allInstances 'Stage'))))) {
      enterPresentation (last (allInstances 'ProjectEditor'))
    }
  }
}
I am searching for a better solution but I think it works okay. What do you think about those changes?
