Category
The Category pane in the upper left of the Script Editorprovides a list of categories that group scripts (or methods) together.
Categories tell users what the methods are for and whether restrictions apply to the methods. For example, -API in a category name denotes that Instantiations will try to support the category's methods across releases; -Internal (or anything other than -API) denotes that Instantiations reserves the right to change the category's methods in future releases. If you plan on using your code in future releases of VA Smalltalk, your code should use -API methods and any methods that you create.
Viewing methods
Selecting one or more categories makes two changes in the Script Editor window:
• A list of the methods available for each selected category displays in the
Scripts list pane.
• The code for the first method in the
Scripts list pane displays in the
Script pane. You can select another method in the
Scripts list pane to work with its code.
To see what other categories a part (or class) contains, click on the
instance/class push button below the pane.
