If anyone can work out why popup/away doesn't work from within display 
(by uncommenting the display line and commenting the view line), 
please let me know.

	REBOL []

	do %rebgui.r

	;display "test" [
	view layout [

  button "Click here" [show-popup/away make system/standard/face [] 
  do-events]
		text "Then here."
	]

	do-events

It would be very good to get this working [with RebGUI].

so, what is happening is that when using display, the popup appears 
only momentarily and then disappears

Is there a way to initiate an action on clicking specific tabs of 
the tab panel?

forinstance, if the data for a panel is held by a database, and I 
want to update it as that tab is selected ...

perhaps as an optional block of actions which can be used by the 
engage function

Ok, new SLIDER demo:

load-thru/update site/rebgui/slider.r
do site/rebgui/demo-slider.r

site: http://www.lexicon.net/antonr/rebol/

Anton, these are very nice, finally, grabbing the draggers by mouse 
works as expected. Nice, again.

Thankyou. If you look, everything is rendered using DRAW dialect, 
no subfaces, pane is none. :)

I know, the RebGUI approach ...

... which I thought should speed it up and make it easier to iterate 
in a list.

Didn't look in the source, but: the arrows self-contained in the 
slider?

... are ...

Yes, arrows are drawn in slider-face/effect/draw block.

Ok, I see. Nice work, once again.

It has a small visual bug, which does not affect the functionality; 
the end of the dragger sometimes is drawn a pixel too far. I think 
it is a floating-point error somewhere, the trapping of which I don't 
have much experience in...

Now that's what I call understatement! You're definitly one of the 
VID style gurus, I'm sure you can handle that little rounding error 
:D

something's wrong here. I will probably try to reinstall View. But 
- I pointed installation to C:\Rebol\View IIRC, including the cache, 
yet, view-root points to C:\Documents and settings\blabal

maybe user settings could contain such info. How do I find out?

when you install, you have an option to set the temporary file directory

Why is it not part of the registry at least? Or is it?

I set it into C:\rebol\view IIRC. But I will better reinstall. I 
installed on my work pc, notebook and  home pc, maybe I am confused 
...

by temp you mean public? (cache?)

that directory you refer to "C:\documents ... blah " is the rebol 
temp directory

In the registry the Sandbox value --->  view-root

I think used for sites etc.

I couldnt' get Anton's slider to work on this account

and then  view-root/public/

Graham, is there an error message ? RebGUI is now at 0.3.0, Rebol/View 
is at 1.3.0 (I am sure you noticed.. :) and demo-slider.r 1.0.2, 
slider.r 1.0.3

hmm, I reinstalled View and now I can see even Public icon on the 
desktop. It was not there before. However, I wonder about following 
- I installed into C:\rebol\view and set cache path to c:\rebol\view\public 
- is that correct? What happens if I install for another account? 
Can I share cache, or will it be deleted?

It's expecting to find rebgui in /d/rebol/view/programs/rebgui/

wonder why ...

Ah, sorry Graham, I forgot to mention you will need to modify demo-slider.r 
to point to your installation of rebgui 0.3.0...

The reason is there's no easy way for a rebol script such as this 
to install rebgui from the zipped distribution.

the same here ...

yes, zip:// scheme - would be usefull, along with encryption :-)

working now ..

zip isn't needed for this at all. We have compress and decompress.

need some type of convention to call third party scripts

I could handle it by keeping a distribution of rebgui on my site, 
unpacked.

... but we want .zip, right? Many product do support that - e.g. 
skin-packs for WinAmp do. And Windows can treat .zips as a directory 
natively, as well as Total Commander etc. Our users do not know they 
even use .zip archiver - they simply go into "directory". Compress/decompress 
is much LESS usefull.

or the script looks to see if rebgui is in the local directory ?

But it is better for Ashley to maintain a nice convention.

Pekr, yes, I want everything... but we don't need it for this.

not for this, but we were talking about zip in general, no? :-)

no we weren't  :)

you can't be different if you try to be the same as everyone else

Anton, superb work on the slider/scroller widget. The increased functionality 
more than justfies the increase in code complexity / size. BTW, why 
the support for text? I know why something like "98%" is important 
for progress, but slider/scroller? ;)
