If you're working on any of these, drop a message here so we don't 
double up on efforts. ;)

The styles that I have up on REBOL.org are built with on a similar 
concept to RebGUI if and you want, we can just minimize the facets 
and plug them into RebGUI...

The dopdown in particular should be easy to adapt...

I'll take the Droplist, Menu, Context-Menu, etc...

On radio - started some work on it.

I would like more info on needed 'list, behaviour and features wise.

I have a working text-list widget, with full mouse control (shift/ctrl 
selection), but it's too big imho (100+ lines.)

Yes, the lists will be the most work of all the widgets. And, will 
all widgets be able to be listed (iterated) ?

I found that for group box the frame color makes it too discreet 
... maybe having it in black color by default could be better

Ashley why do you supress text+ ?

list (single or multi column): I once have hired Cyphre to create 
a style for me. Very useful and powerful. If someone is interested 
I can provide the code as a starting point (or at least as idea pool). 
You can find some documentation for it on my homepage under project 
data-form dialect.

I think list must be  multi colum is good, so multi colum must have 
a title (enable/disable), row design (enable/disable), sorted capability 
when clicking . Row is capable to display text, images, progressbar, 
checkbox, button all kind of widgets. Maybe as base we must have 
a dialect to format heavyly the content

Ammon: Impressive! Little time to dive into the code, are there docs? 
And what SDK/View version is required?

I tried to keep sufficient comments in my code so that the code is 
the doc...

I built the styles kind of as examples of how to do things.

If you have a question feel free to ask.  I get feature requests 
but most of the features that get requested are already there.  Take 
a peek at the code, if it isn't self explanatory, I'm glad to explain.

Actually, I was hoping you could point me to RebGUIs docs :-)

Oh, RebGUI...  http://www.dobeash.com/it/rebgui/

I thought you adapted some styles already, but now I see you were 
offering to convert your own.

Ashley's website.

Yes.

(I should go to bed early tonight :-)

Why?

;~>

can you give us the link to your work AMMON ?

Goodnight ;-)

Ammon we can work together ...

oki I found your set of widgets

I'll add the popup code to the Display function as a refinement...

display/popup

I take drop-down

That way we can use it to build menus, dialogs and the like...

oki

I'm looking to dropdown and I can't see in the popup list the choice 
entries you supply in the data field...

I'm using 1.2.48.3.1

Nice work Ashley...

There's actually two copies of the dropdown on rebol.org dropdown.r 
and drop-down.r

drop-down.r should work with all versions, which did you download?

i downloaded dropdown.r

That's the problem then.  It is depreciated and replaced with drop-down.r 
and says so in the script header.  Eventually the Library will recognize 
this and automatically redirect you to the correct version of the 
script but for now...

oki it's fixed I just download it

the 0.0.5 version

it's good now I'm starting the adapatation

to rebgui

Interesting... Somehow I have a newer version number on the depreciated 
script...  I'll fix that...

You're "Installer" example script looks a lot like my Wizard.r style. 
 My Wizard style works alot like a tabpanel but includes a simple 
way to validate information before or after a particular pane is 
loaded and it automatically positions the navigation buttons, etc...

Is that something we'd like in RebGUI?

Ashley, on this page: http://www.dobeash.com/it/rebgui/display.html
 What does this mean? "Unless otherwise specified, text size reverts 
to 200x9999 if the string contains a newline."

it's hard to port the dropdown

Yes, I've been looking closer at display.r and finding that there 
are actually many things that are going to make it slightly difficult. 
 For example, my popup code use Insert-Event-Func which doesn't work 
with RebGUI...

yep layout

isn't usefull too
