World: r3wp

Ashley, I have a bunch of changes to RebGUI. How to proceed? Should 
I mail them all to you? Should I just checkin our version to the 
Subversion repository?

Robert .. just check them in for people to test.

Thanks.

Yes, and don't forget to close any tickets these changes have fixed.

Ok, the first one isn't hard. I have already closed some tickets, 
but I'm sure I didn't got everything.

I will check our changes in and paste the changes doc so you can 
see what we have changed. What's than needed is to update the Wiki 
docs.

Ah... I have to reinstall the client software. Can someone please 
post the link to the repository? Thanks.

is it ?
svn://svn.geekisp.com/regbui ?

from memory ...  /rebgui

Robert, are you helping write some of RebGUI?

Information on various SVN client software and the URL to use is 
on the main Trac page: http://trac.geekisp.com/rebgui


I've also added a section on "Making Source Code Changes" ... please 
read it before making changes.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't do a 'show-text on a button to 
change the button text?

I am doing this and find that when I hover over the button, it disappears.

The button or the text?

button "Hello" [show-text face "World"] ... seems to work OK.

the button disappears .. eventually.  Odd.  The text remains behind 
though. Like the Cheshire cat.

Reichart, sort off. As I use for my apps, I have hired Cyphre (until 
you snapped him away) to make a bunch of extensions to RebGUI that 
I need.

Dead link update on this page:  http://www.dobeash.com/rebgui.html

new: 	http://anton.wildit.net.au/rebol/doc/create-a-rebgui-widget.html

Is there a data facet to the button that I should not be using for 
my own purposes?

button/data is a block containing 3 button state images ... so using 
that would be bad. ;)

Anton, link updated. Thanks.

Ahhhh....

Ooops...

No wonder the button image disappears!

Are there any user facets that one can use?

Robert, got it...

Are there any user facets that one can use?

 ... not as such (i.e. no VID-like user-data facet); although you 
 can always use something like button/init post initialization.

do %rebgui.r
display "Main Window"  [
	button "Start" 100x100 [	
		loop 5 [
				display/dialog "Modal"  [ button "Close" [ unview ] ]
		]
	]
] 
do-events
halt

Shouldn't pressing the "Start" button lead to the modal window opening 
5x ?

Instead it only opens once.

o %rebgui.r

display "Main" [ 
	button "Open Modal" 100x100 [
		display/dialog "Modal-1" [ button "Close1" [ unview ]]
		display/dialog "Modal-2" [ button "Close2" [ unview ]]
	]
]

do-events
halt

Same type of example ... Modal-1 opens, but never Modal-2

Ok, answer as suggested by Volker is to use 'hide-popup instead of 
unview ...

I've tried to download RebGUI from REBOL Desktop (as suggested on 
http://www.dobeash.com/rebgui.html) but it crashes with:
** Script Error: Cannot use path on none! value
** Where: context
** Near: header/version

Ah, fails on new install. Fix tested and uploaded, please try again.

Ashley: works now, thanks.

I can now use 'unview in a loop as a form of return :)

In 'request-dir, directories starting with "!" are sorted before 
"..", this looks strange.

ah, I can see someone else is using ! trick to have favorite dirs 
at the top :-)

yes, "!"and  "_" are very useful for this purpose :)

(The real solution is to use a filesystem with custom tags.)

Petr, what's the state WRT grid widget? Can we see a beta version?

I still didn't made it upload our changes. Sorry. I hope to do it 
tomorrow.

I am very pressed for the free time. I sent what is done to Graham, 
and have only a sketchy doc .... but yes, overall I think it is already 
worth a beta, or alpha at least, as some ppl might object wrt feature-design

I might work on it on Sunday .... to have it realeased on monday 
... the docs need definitely an update ...

needs a few changes to rebgui as well ...

I expect Robert has RebGui which fits grid too, as it is all done 
by Cyphre, no?

Why does check/data has got values of [true none] and not [true false] 
?

Check is tri-state: Tick (true), Cross (false) and Unknown (none). 
Cross is selected with a right-click.

OK, thanks.
