[Cuis] Two questions

[Hari Balaraman]

Folks,

I have two questions and many thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice you can offer:

1. I was wondering about how to create new classes from the workspace rather than changing a class definition in a browser and saving. 

I’ve been attempting to use "newSubclassOf: newSuper type: type instanceVariables: instVars from: oldClass" for ClassBuilder in Kernel-Classes but cannot decipher how to format the instance variables argument.

This is what I type into my workspace:

m:= ClassBuilder new.
m newSubclassOf: NewClass type: Object instanceVariables: ‘newinstvariable' from: SubClassOfNewClass

The reason I am doing is - I am trying to find a way to generate new class definitions in my application from a GUI rather than type things into a browser. So this is my first step.

2. Why does the mouse always highlight the window it is over? I find that more often than not, when I highlight text from one workspace or from a browser window and look to copy into a workspace or inspector, I move the arrow out of the way to focus on what I am typing but therefore end up typing or deleting in some other window because that window is not automatically brought to the front by the pointer. Is there a way I can change this default behaviour?

Best regards,

Hari
