Got this error again on tabbing out of a field :(

display "0" [
	button "Click me" [
		display "1" compose/deep [
			f: field "Type here" [
				display "2" [
					button "Close" [show-text f "hello" show-focus g unview]
				]
			]
			return
			label "I can tab to here but can I type?" g: field ""
		]
	]
]
do-events

click on the button, and then type in the first field, enter,  click 
the button.

you can now tab between the two fields but can not type as the window 
"0" has focus.
Odd ....

Is Rebgui not tracking the windows correctly? Or something?

Could be that after a button-action the focus is removed, so show-focus 
does nothing.

Except I do have some type of focus as the tab still works correctly.

Just can't type.  And the window is not highlighted as though it 
does not have focus.

Hmm. how about activating it first?

how?

IIRC, basically: win/changes: 'activate show win

but does not help on linux

display "0" [
    button "Click me" [
        display "1" compose/deep [
            f: field "Type here" [
                display "2" [
                    button "Close" [
                        show-text f "hello" 
                        show-focus g unview 
                        win: find-window g 
                        g/changes: 'activate 
                        show win
                    ]
                ]
            ] 
            return 
            label "I can tab to here but can I type?" g: field ""
        ]
    ]
]

win/changes: 'activate;but still nothing

better ..

I see that VID doesn't have this problem.

I guess it's rebgui bug?

any documents about rebguis patches? AFAIK it has some to events 
and hotkeys and such.

don't remember ..

that stack-overflow, do you have an example?

I can't reproduce it.

But I thought it was due to some lack of focus problem

Which I was exploring focus problems

that 'into-widget goes recursively thru the panes.

so either you have a parent pane as child-pane, or it has a bug.

or the error-messsage is misleading.

but that should be reproducible.

I'm not setting any panes manually.

Just using rebgui in vanilla fashion

so, I think it's a rebgui bug

i agree. 'show would throw an error otherwise.

what would you consider the next most important style missing in 
RebGUI? Is that Menu, or Tree-view? Or other? As for me, it might 
be Tree-view, as it allows to display hierarchies ....

I think WRT widgets we are mostly complete. What I see as the next 
big step is to add runtime APIs to the widgets like: changing the 
buttons in a radio-group, selecting a button programmatically.

For those wanting to see first results of rebgui-grid, here's the 
screenshot - http://www.xidys.com/rebgui-grid.jpg

it is already ways more powerfull than rebgui table .... still some 
features missing though ...

nice looking

rebgui is not nice looking :-)

sometimes beauty can be below the surface :-)

Chris' buttons on the left - that is what I call nicely looking :-)

well, it is nice to hear it from the guy, who is author of most powerfull 
grid I ever seen (well, except my favourite and needed horizontal 
scrolll, which Cyphre's version supports from now on)

what's that icon in the title bar?

What does this?

print was set to NONE, but I was using too old a version of RebGUI 
it seems.

Is the "How to create a RebGUI 0.3.0 widget" no longer valid? I can't 
make it work with RebGUI 0.4.2, but it says nothing about not being 
compatible anywhere...

DISPLAY will not recognize any elements I add to ctx-rebgui/widgets

are they being included into the source when you create distro?

I'm doing no such thing. I thought you could pad them as written 
in the manual?

ah... turns out I was also supposed to append the word to ctx-rebgui/words

This is your toolbar?

yes
