World: r3wp

Added Czech dictionary file (see http://www.dobeash.com/it/rebgui/roadmap.html) 
and dat files provided by Bobik (see http://www.dobeash.com/files/CzechWin.dat
and http://www.dobeash.com/files/CzechLinux.datfor different char 
encodings - win-1250 & ISO-8859-2 respectively).

by 51, I mean that the drop list does not display below the boundary 
of a group box

Fixed in next update.

I altered display to return the layout rather than no return value

Also, I don't think there's a way to set the window options viz no-border

Is the group-box a functional grouping?  I'd prefer that tabbing 
moves to the next group box and not recycle within the same group

I use the group box as a visual container and not a functional one

In a radio group, if you preset a value eg data [ 1 "M" "F" ], the 
radio/data is none, whereas it should be 1.

Hmm.  Works in my test .. just not in my program :(

1) display mod - just by adding "view-face" at the end of the function 
I presume? Does that give you what you need? (I was thinking of adding 
a "no-show" type refinement for folks who wanted display to return 
a face *without* doing a view - to-image being the main usage case)


2) Window options - needing to set these implies a new widget is 
required or you need more control than RebGUI was designed for


3) Group-box is a functional grouping, tabbing between widgets within 
the same group-box is normal behaviour - what is missing is *another* 
mechanism to tab into and out of group boxes

1. yes.

shadwolf - is your list-view widget (v0.52) ready for me to merge 
into 0.3.8 or should I wait until it's 100%?

Having view-face returned means I can create an image of the layout 
with to-image.

How can I set the title of an existing window ?

show-title

which requires a face object

So, how to find face object ?

You need the view-face returned by display/

This is what i am doing to fill a form up from data

display "" [ r: radio-group 30 data [ "M" "F" ] return
button "Value" [ print r/data ]
do [	r/pane/2/feel/engage r/pane/2 'down none ]
] do-events

print r/data gives none instead of 2

Ok, I can set r/data: 2 at the same time.

1) show-title

	display "a" [button 200 [show-title face/parent-face "b"]]

	or

	display "a" [button 200 [show-title p "b"] do [p: face]]

2) radio-group

	display "" [
		r: radio-group 30 data [2 "M" "F" ]
		return
		button "Value" [ print r/data ] 
	]

ok.

in the radio group though, I have a form already up, and I am pulling 
in data from a file to repopulate the form.

So, in the do block of the window, I am reading the data from a file, 
and then settting all the values.

Fair enough, although in that case you could also do something like:

	blk: read my-file
	display "" compose/deep [
		...
		r: radio-group 30 data [ (blk/5)  "M" "F" ] 
		...
	]

Not sure if you are looking for any inspiration or other ideas... 
here is a link to a javascript version of a pretty nice Data Grid... 
http://www.activewidgets.com/

I believe the code is downloadable as well.

r: radio-group 30 data [ (blk/5)  "M" "F" ]


Except doesn't this mean I now will need two versions of the same 
layout?  One with compose, and one without?

Is there a way to stop data wrapping inside a field, or row of a 
table - like the nowrap option for VID fields?

Only one layout needed as the compose would be within a func (i.e. 
dynamically built as opposed to static). nowrap option? Do you have 
a VID example, havn't used that VID option myself.

I think it's just 

area 200x40 nowrap

Not sure I understand what you mean about compose being within a 
func.

Perhaps you could allow this

radio "blah" data [ none "1" "2" "3" ]

to indicate no choice as an option.

currrently it creates an extra button labelled "none"

What's wrong with the current behaviour? e.g.:

	radio "blah" data [ "1" "2" "3" ]

Compose within a func:

	show-my-display: has [ blk ] [
		blk: load ...
		display "" compose/deep [
			...
		]
	]

So, what do you do if the user did not previously select an option 
in a radio group?

That  () within the data block has to be removed.

I see the problem. Perhaps radio-group should treat none and / or 
0 as "no selection" as well?

yes please.

nowrap option not supported as that would require a horizontal scroll 
bar. Of the many scroll areas I have looked at, especially online, 
only a small percentage are of the nowrap type. It has been my experience 
that users (especially those familiar with Office type products) 
expect wrap in these cases.

Ok, let me explain.

I have a table with one field ( the last one ) with approx 100 - 
1000 chars in it.  I only want to display the first x characters, 
but it displays with the field wrapped if there are any cr in the 
text.

I was thinking I was going to have to have a real table holding the 
data, and one for display purposes.

What if the table widget had a "flatten" type option that did a replace/all 
CR on your data?

yeah, that would be good.

no....!

I need the data as it is ...

I just want to not have it wrap inside a single line.
