Anton;  Yep, thanks.  This has opened up all kinds of RebGUI goodness.

well, but will it bind those variables to those one in 'fields object?

Ah it works, good :) I couldn't remember if the binding was kept 
or not.

Pekr, do you know what   in fields 'a   means ?

yes, from the help ....

I am just not sure, if the 'a in the 'display is the same as in the 
'fields ....

Check this out:
>> o1: context [a: 1]
>> o2: context [a: 200]
>> print probe compose [(in o1 'a) (in o2 'a)]
[a a]
1 200

I mean - does it create global 'a, referencing fields/a?

The only concern for me was if to-set-word kept the binding. (I guess, 
possibly, long ago it did not.)

yes, but you are creating global var anyway, no? via the set-word?

sorry ... not good at those topics :-)

No,   in object 'word   actually refers to the word that is in that 
object. :)

Try the above example, then see if 'a has a value globally.

eh .... can't believe it :-) it should translate into: display "text" 
[a: field b: field]

your above example does not use setword

No, to-set-word keeps the binding of the word (thankfully).

shit, it works :-)

o: context [a: 1]
print o/a
reduce compose [(to-set-word in o 'a) 5]    
print o/a
value? 'a

results:
1
5
false

it is just not clear, how to-set-word could bind it to o's 'a

>> blk: compose [(to-set-word in o1 'a) (to-set-word in o2 'a)]
== [a: a:]
>> get blk/1
== 1
>> get blk/2
== 200

to-set-word is not doing any binding. The word retains its binding. 
Each word knows to which context it is bound.

So, as the word travels around the place, it knows in which object 
its associated value can be found.

ah, that is like sucking 'a from object to upper context, while 'a 
still remembers, where it belongs ;-)

We should move to Core group.

Just ran RebGUI from the Desktop Demos folder:

** Script Error: yello has no value
** Where: append-message
** Near: get msg-color

yello is a new colour since....

since View1.3.2

I'm post-1.3.2, but clearly a little behind...

system/version?

1.3.61.3.1 -- works after downloading 2.7.5

1.3.61 is actually older than View 1.3.2
I've renamed mine to:
rebview1.3.061.3.1  and  rebview1.3.2.3.1
so that they sort properly, by release.

Hmm, I guess it's the same as for 1.3.50.3.1 ?

Shows how long it is since I last really used View : )

This has happened a few times now, so I might add a check for these 
misnumbered versions. Any other versions apart from 50 & 61 I need 
check for?

1.3.2?

value? 'yello

I have
rebview1.3.000.3.1.exe 
rebview1.3.001.3.1.exe 
rebview1.3.001.3.1c.exe 
rebview1.3.001.3.1d.exe 
rebview1.3.050.3.1.exe 
rebview1.3.051.3.1.exe 
rebview1.3.052.3.1.exe 
rebview1.3.060.3.1.exe 
rebview1.3.061.3.1.exe 
rebview1.3.2.3.1.exe 
rebview2.7.000.3.1.exe 
rebview2.7.001.3.1.exe 
rebview2.7.002.3.1.exe 
rebview2.7.004.3.1.exe 
rebview2.7.005.3.1.exe

The above list is in chronological order, thanks to the zero-padding 
I used.

'yello first appears in 1.3.2

I want to use RebGUI with MySQL using Doc Kimmel's protocol. Doc's 
protocol provides a block of blocks of data but RebGUI's table widget 
I believe is looking for a single block for the data. What is the 
best way to handle the sql blocks. Having each row in a block is 
handy for  manipulation.

amacleod - Doc's driver allows to get "flat" block structure too. 
Look for /flat or /raw refinement or something like that. E.g. sqlite 
driver from Ashley uses /flat to obtain such structure.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I'm just looking at the table widget's properties...is it possible 
to have "hidden" fields? he number of fields in my database are much 
larger than what could be displayed.

no, no hidden fields. Table is very basic data widget.

Can you mix vid stuff wih RebGUI s that I can perhaps use Henrick's 
list-view widget within rebgui?

There is much better one, done under the contract by Cyphre. It is 
called grid. It allows you to have visible/non visible columns, row 
or cell hilighting, whatever content in a cell, vertical plus horizontal 
scroll. It's only drawback is, that first release does not contain 
column resizing.

Sounds good! Does it work with Rebgui?

Unfortunatelly, before it was fully finished, RebGUI got some api 
changes, and I am not sure how long would it take to adapt.

It was RebGUI only ....

and you can find it in the widgets folder. It is just not included 
in the demo.
