In VID, there is face/flags, which can contain the 'tabbed flag.

Thus the VID style is independant of the tabbability of an instance. 
Rebgui strongly ties tabbability to the rebgui type.

;hack but  tab works:
display "Example" compose [
    button "a" field "a" return 
    button "b" field "b" return 
    do [
        foreach [but fie] face/pane [but/type: 'untabbed-button]
    ]
]

what else is the /type used for?

Well, it's referred to a few times in rebgui-edit.r

Ahh, it doesn't work!  Rebgui also tabs into the group-box...

display "" [field group-box "" data [field] field]

What does not work?

 Docs: the 'Widgets' section of the 'RebGUI Display User's Guide' 
 is already in the Repository (the WidgetList Wiki entry) ... I'll 
 be removing that section from the guide once all the widget details 
 have been copied across. Feel free to update the Wiki with any widget 
 specific usage notes / instructions. Forward any other doc changes 
 to me and I'll put them in. I plan to eventually move all the docs 
 across to the Wiki, just haven't got around to doing it yet.

 "do you first want to take a look at the changes or should I just 
 check them in?" ... Just check them in thanks.
	screenshots: added to the ToDo list

 widget placement: I'm coming around to the idea that BELOW may be 
 unavoidable, even if undesirable from a design / complexity POV
	tabbing: Anton about summed it up

Volker
	Type: also used by accessor functions

seems "/type = button" is used for something with 'over too. but 
i note no difference in some short tests. Still better ask ashley.

Volker, I wanted to "hide" the second field from tabbing by putting 
it in the group-box. But it didn't work.

Ah! No, tabbing in rebgui seems to be very smart. For now does not 
work with iterated faces, say the comments.

Some good choices for the general case in rebgui, from my starter-POV.

That's understandable.

;is this ok? vertical tab
display "Example" compose [
    button "a" [alert "hi"] field "a" return 
    button "b" field "b" return 
    do [
        out: copy [] 
        append out extract face/pane 2 
        append out extract next face/pane 2 
        insert clear face/pane out
    ]
]

Is there  interest in an editor-field which supports find/replace 
etc?

And do we have undo?

Yes to the first question and http://www.dobeash.com/RebGUI/edit.html#section-3
to the second ;)

Good answer :)

But is that rebolish, available exhaustive docs?! :)

It isn't, shame on Ashley.

Wiki WidgetList updated and completed (finally): http://trac.geekisp.com/rebgui/wiki/WidgetList

Anton - as for the get-rebgui, if you are the author, you could check 
following - Bobik's situation was, that he used latest View, the 
script showed following:

connecting to: www.dobeash.com
Script: "RebGUI update system" (21-Feb-2006)
Local RebGUI version ==> none
Remote directory ======> http://www.dobeash.com/RebGUI/

Local directory =======> c:\documents and settings\user-name-here\data 
aplikací\rebol\public\www.dobeash.com\RebGUI
Downloading manifest ==> OK


the thing is - above directory does not exist, nor was it created 
by the get-rebgui script .... so the thing is, what happened then. 
It did not start downloading particular widgets though ...

I wonder where View took the above directory from? Does it rely on 
registry? Or does it ask just OS for the current user data directory? 
Or? .... strange ...

It's in the registry, and expressed as an environment variable APPDATA 
as well.

It gets it from view-root, which is the public sandbox directory, 
used by path-thru etc. as usual.

Yes, view-root gets its value from the registry.

Is there a no-wrap option for area?

At install time, the initial default value of view-root is set to 
%APPDATA%\REBOL

Pekr, was there no error message ? or was "Downloading manifest ==> 
OK" the last line of output ?

Ashley, can you add get-rebgui.r into SVN as well ?

ah, so .... so actually you can't know, if user has installed View 
or not .... but it should not mind .... maybe small check then would 
cure the situation? if view-root does not exist, create it ...

last line output ... no error ....

The other trick is telling whether a specific user has View set up 
on a multiuser system. There are still some multiuser-unfriendly 
bugs in the REBOL/View installer, mostly for backwards compatibility 
with View 1.2 registry settings. At least the file handling has been 
made multiuser safe - we'll see if REBOL 3 solves the rest of the 
problems.

the problems were described ... in general we should be able to have 
choice to install for a) all users b) one particular user .... and 
with uninstall to a) keep private data b) remove data .... uninstall 
is flawed though, as when you uninstall, the icon is removed from 
control panel and other user has no option to uninstall ... or you 
remove the rebol even when other user did not agree to :-)

The main problem is where in the registry REBOL stores its settings. 
There are per-user settings and per-machine settings, and REBOL stores 
many of both in the wrong places in the registry. The details of 
this are once again off topic, though.

Pekr, try running the script again. Are you launching it like this?

do http://www.dobeash.com/get-rebgui.r

By the way, Ashley, I think get-rebgui.r should be moved into RebGUI/ 
directory so everything is self-contained. It's not going to affect 
the end user, since they don't download it.

can you add get-rebgui.r into SVN
 ... done
should be moved into RebGUI/ directory
 ... on the list

Anton - posted to Bobik, I will let you know ...

Thankyou Ashley.

Robert, is the tree widget you've asked Cyphre to create near completion 
yet?  I think maybe it might be useful for the request-directory 
widget.

I'll second that.

A mind blank here ... what am I doing wrong ?

nope

display "" compose [image (logo.gif)]

works .. why should it need compose ?
