GUI help for Lisp in Small Parts

[David Johnson-Davies]

Can anyone help?

I'm developing a beginner's Lisp tutorial called "Lisp in Small Parts". Currently it's designed to run with LispWorks, but I want to make it work with Clozure CL too as that's more easily available to beginners; eg from the Mac App Store.

The question is - are there equivalents to the CAPI GUI commands in Clozure CL? I need to create a Clozure CL version of this page "Creating Dialogue Boxes":

http://www.plasticki.com/show?HO

I've seen references to EasyGUI, but can't find any specifications.

Thanks,
David Johnson-Davies

Hi David,

You should send your inquiry to:

Openmcl-devel <openmcl-devel-***@public.gmane.org>

This list is for MCL (not CCL) and hasn't had any MCL related traffic for a year or more.

you examples could be done with XMLisp: http://code.google.com/p/xmlisp/

which runs with CCL on the Mac and Windows

What is the level of sound support in XMLisp. It was not clear on the home page.
I am interested in using it for Algorithmic Composition delivering sound in real time.

It does not have to be suitable for Live Coding like impromptu or Extempore. Those systems are great, but lack the ccl style dev environment.

Thanks,

AFAIK, there's no implementation of CAPI other than Lispworks.
It doesn't seem to be a free software library.


So if you wanted to use CAPI on CCL, you would have to implement it
anew.

Implementing GUI with CCL can be done using the Objective-C bridge and
Cocoa objects.

I'm sorry, but I learned Objective-C before lisp, so it's painful to me
to use Cocoa without the Objective syntax. So I implemented a few
reader macros, and I can do:

(ql:quickload :com.informatimago.objcl)
(objcl:enable-objcl-reader-macros)
(let ((alert [[NSAlert alloc] init]))
(unwind-protect
(progn
[alert addButtonWithTitle:@"OK"]
;; [alert addButtonWithTitle:@"Cancel"]
[alert setMessageText:@"The sum of 3 and 4 is 7."]
[alert setInformativeText:@"Ain't it great?"]
[alert setAlertStyle:#$NSWarningAlertStyle]
[alert runModal])
[alert release]))
