scroller: make slider [append init [append flags [arrows together]]]

(where 'together is removeable, depending if you want to default 
to amiga-style or not.)

Anton, is the slider "stable" enough for me to integrate into the 
next build yet?

Good introductory doc BTW, I've added a link to it from the RebGUI 
Home page already. ;)

Hi. I 've had a look at REBGUI and it looks terrific!

However, when I run the tour.r script there is some kind of memory 
usage display at the bottom which increases by 6 KB every second 
even if I don't do anything. Would that mean REBGUI is eating memory 
without control??

I have seen that too

Ashley thank you for your help

no more than any other /View app.

It's the memory allocation from the event system, and it's garbage 
collected later.

my style is working soon

I objected too, but I was told it stops after some time and that 
garbage collection is invoken only once per some period or so ...

Vincent: oh, that's better. Why does it claim memory whilst nothing 
is being done however?

No events seem to happen in between ...

yes, 'time events ...

OK. I understand ;-)

thx

hmm, time events? Why those don't reuse the same space? :-)

I think I'll add a recycle to that display timer just to avoid confusion 
...

on events : I think it's because you can store them , and they are 
transmitted to various user feel funcs - so the system must wait 
to free them.

Ashley : yes - it's very confusing, as not everybody wait more than 
10 min to see the garbage collection.

:-)

I'm surprised no-one's asked why memory usage doubled from 0.2.4 
to 0.3.0 ;)  (before anyone does ask, it's the dictionary)

dictionary of spell checker?

btw - is spell-checker really needed? I mean - never used it in my 
apps, and users never complained :-)

Ashley, slider seems ready to integrate to me. I feel I can let it 
go for a while and work on something else.

If you don't need / want it then just delete the dictionary directory 
... if it can't find it then it won't be loaded. Spell-check is important 
for report generation front-ends (or at least that's where I'm using 
it).

it should be mentioned in docs then (if it is not already), how to 
"disable it".

The dictionary, if present, is then loaded into the dict block.

Anton, will do.

Ashley, I just fixed a small resizing bug. Not a show stopper, but 
there is a new version anyway.

site: http://www.lexicon.net/antonr/rebol/
load-thru/check site/rebgui/slider.r 1.0.5
load-thru/check site/rebgui/pair-edit.r 1.0.1

do site/rebgui/demo-slider.r  ;<-- modify this file to point to your 
rebgui installation

load-thru/update site/rebgui/slider.r ; (just now updated slider.r 
again, same version)

anton: Can you take a look at the autocomplete style for me, after 
doing pair-edit you will be more in tune than me.

Where's the cooking-widgets page?  I get a 404 when I go to rebolfrance.org 
and use the link there...

Allen, auto-fill: sure, but is there something wrong with it ?

This is all I get when I start 031 after installing it on top of 
030...

SCROLLER has not been defined in the lastest rebgui-widgets.r

I get the same error.  A quick hack is to add this before the last 
line in rebgui-widgets.r:

; hacked in by Anton
	scroller: make slider [data: [arrows]]

Having done that, though, I see weird scroller behaviour - bugs I 
should say, with the operation of the scrollers in the tour.

Maybe it's something to do with being inside a tab panel. I will 
investigate.

Anton - even with your line it does not work ...

There is also a problem with   slider-face/color: colors/widget  
 which is the same as tab-panel's background color. I tend to think 
that is an inherent problem with tab-panel, it being a container 
for other widgets.

Pekr, it works for me - what's the error you get?

(note: the last line is the last end square bracket ]  )
