Method Detail

setProbedSelector

public java.lang.Object setProbedSelector(Selector aSel)

The setProbedSelector: method sets the message to be probed given the selector.

setProbedMethodName

public java.lang.Object setProbedMethodName(java.lang.String methodName)

The setProbedMessage: method sets the message to be probed given the message name. In dynamically-typed languages like JavaScript selectors don't make sense, since method argument types aren't fixed.

create$setProbedSelector

public java.lang.Object create$setProbedSelector(Zone aZone,
                                                 Selector aSel)

Convenience factory method for common case.
