Sorry, it's been some time since I last used RebGui, so I've got 
a few questions.
(How) is it possible to ... ?

- change double-click handling of an area? (I would like to call 
a function with the position or word clicked on)
- change keyboard handling in an area? (like add auto-indent)

- have timer event, that fires after specified times (it would be 
ideal, if the timer could be reset on every key-press)
(I don't know how many changes RebGui adds in these areas).

Thanks,

Ingo

Not what you're asking?

SORRY !!! (I _REALLY_ should have RTFMed before asking! ;-(

I juast didn't find the the manual at the time, and I seemed to remember 
that it was something really, really advanced, ... and I got only 
2 hours of sleep last night, and ...

Well, thank you ;-) I guess, that's it! ;-)

you can create your own keyboard handler ... by altering the existing 
one.

there's an example of a timer event on the front screen of the demo.

Anton, does your code to remove tabs from a tab panel destroy the 
widgets that are present in the removed tabs, or does it just hide 
them?

OK, thanks, one more question, I have searched the docs, but didn't 
find anything ...
How do I position the caret in a rebgui area?

Same as in View:

	system/view/caret: at face/text pos
	show face

Graham, I think I never touched the Rebgui tab panel....

I'm sure you posted some code on how to dynamically remove tabs from 
rebgui panels

Yes, December 8th http://www.lexicon.net/antonr/rebol/rebgui/add-remove-tab-panels.r

Ashley, how do you programmatically select a tab to display?

Ah, thank you.

Hmm, I want to position the caret, by clicking in a text-list, which 
lists sections of the document.
The action in my text-list
[
         __picked: first face/picked
         show-focus ar-text

         system/view/caret: at ar-text/text sections/:__picked/pos
         show ar-text
      ]

now, when I click into the text-list, ar-text is focused, and the 
caret is shown in my ar-text, but when I release the mouse-key, the 
text-list is focused again.
What can I do here?

Ingo .. check this as in http://polly.rebol.it/test/test/rebgui/../../test/rebgui/edit-area.r

Thank you, has this been discussed on AltME once? I tried to search, 
but inbuilt search seems to be barely usable

Yes, it has been discussed

:)

I use my memory which is better than Altme's search

It does not solve my problem, though:

edit-area keeps the current focus, while unfocused (to access it 
from the button)

I want the button click to focus on the area (at the new position), 
but at mouse release, the focus switches back to the button.

can you show some demo code ...

display "Test button focus to area" [
   button "Pos" [
      show-focus ar-text
      system/view/caret: at ar-text/text 10
      show ar-text
   ]
   ar-text: area {1234567890

When I click on the button, the caret is positioned between 9 and 
0,

but when I release the button, the focus changes back to the button}
]
do-events

so when you tab back into the area, you want to keep the 0,9 caret 
position?

Not exactly. What I want is, that clicking on the button focuses 
the area, and that I am now able to directly type in the area.

oh ...

and, at the given position, yes.

Thinking aloud: I guess that the show-focus ar-text should be placed 
in the unfocus event of the button?

yes

but show-focus probably sets the cursor to the end again

I'll try to do some patching now ... sorry, I'm on a modem line, 
and need to be erachable by phone, so bye for now.

The following works with button, but not with text-list (which I 
want to use) ...

display "Try to change feel" [
   tl: text-list  feel [
      engage: func [f a e][
         print a
      ]
   ]
   data [ "click"]
   [print 'action]
]
do-events
probe tl/feel
halt

Graham, now that you show me the code, which is now available here
http://anton.wildit.net.au/rebol/rebgui/add-remove-tab-panels.r
I can almost remember writing it !

Ok, the technique used to add/remove tabs from the tab-panel looks 
quite destructive, replacing all the old tab faces with new ones 
whenever a tab is added or removed.

So, writing to the old faces won't make things happy

if you have widgets in the old tabs .. are they destroyed as well?

No, shouldn't be. Just the little tab faces themselves are removed 
and forgotten.

Sorry, I have some connection problems, so here's the second part 
to above message ... again ... ;-)

When I run the above posted snippet, and click on the text-list, 
I get an output of "action", so the action block is run, not the 
changed engage function.

The 'probe shows, that the engage function has been changed in the 
way I have defined it.

So it seems, that RebGUI holds to an old version of engage for text-lists.

hello, where we can find the rebgui.grid done cyphre => http://www.xidys.com/rebgui-grid.jpg

it is very  great !

It is still in testing.

ok thanks for the answer ;-)

Ask Pekr for a copy of the beta version.

do you have a little bug too on widget table. when i run tour.r and 
select  list    text-list  and do a maxime of the windows, the little 
line between two column still stay little !!!!!  (excuse me for ma 
english :-p)

use the trac to enter bugs.

http://trac.geekisp.com/rebgui- view existing tickets and if not 
there, please add it.

oups the bug is not on text-list but in table widget

i don't find the way to input the ticket !!!

Hmm.  The add ticket menu is removed!
