I always use display/dialog for requestors. Works well; not a whole 
bunch of code to write.  If you do %rebgui.r (and don't encap an 
app) you still have access to view's request-text.

is there a simple input requestor?
 ... no, and define "simple" ;)

Ashley;  How hard would it be to add a 'bistate or 'no-none option 
to check?  I've had to explain the right-click to get the red X a 
few times (and the whole "but it's ok...empty tests the same as the 
red X in the application I wrote for you" discussion).  It would 
be nice to have none/false as one state, true as the other, never 
an empty check box and simple left-click to toggle.  Keyword nice. 
 Not critical.

tristate is not necessary in my experience so far

request-value prompt 

which takes possible refinements of /decimal or /integer or /whatever

whereby the prompt is the string that appears next to the field

that simple

Is there anything that can be done easily about implementing Cyphre's 
grid into latest Rebgui?

Pekr commissioned it for Rebgui .. so it shouldn't be too far off 
should it?

I did not know that...That's great news. Will grid be expanded further 
or just an implimentation of what exists?

it was a working implementation, but then Ashley changed RebGUI and 
broke it.  At that point the funding for Cyphre had already been 
completed as he had delivered a working grid.  Not sure if anyone 
is able to take it up again and get it working with the latest RebGUI.

that's my recollection anyway.

well, it came at the time when Ashley was doing some changes to API. 
And it was not adapted ......

ah, you just sait it :-)

wish I had time to port LIST-VIEW to RebGUI. would seem useful there.

I think I need to provide my own "fork" of RebGUI again to Ashley. 
We have worked on the grid and extended it. Works pretty well.

Robert - is it the same grid Cyphre did for me? That would be really 
good, because imo it was well and sufficiently abstracted (e.g. visible, 
non-visible columns, without the need to resort data block, etc.)

Robert, what build# did you fork on? From memory Cyphre had to make 
a lot of grid-specific changes to rebgui-edit.r

Petr, yes we used this version as base.

Ashley, I must say I don't remember. I will pack all files together 
and send them over to you. Ok?


Overall our RebGUI branch is very stable now. I'm using it in a quite 
complex application (1 MB of source code) and it's really nice.

Ashley, just log into xpeers if possible and you get the latest version 
synced. See: projects/reggui and _todo.txt for all our changes / 
bug fixes.

If not let me know and I mail it to you.

Robert, I've been playing with grid a bit and I really like it. If 
it is possible I would not mind checking out your version...

Email it to me as zip. Thanks.

Uploaded build#102 with 'bistate option for check and check-group. 
Option disables right-click state selection.

Ashley;  Whoa...another out of the blue present.  Thank you sir.

My pleasure. And now one for Graham ...

Uploaded build#103 with new request-value function.

USAGE:

    REQUEST-VALUE prompt /title text /default value /type datatype

DESCRIPTION:
     Requests a value.
     REQUEST-VALUE is a function value.

ARGUMENTS:
     prompt -- Prompt text (Type: string)

REFINEMENTS:
     /title
         text -- Title text (Type: string)
     /default
         value -- Default value (Type: any-type)
     /type
         datatype -- Return type (Type: datatype)

Whoa! again.  Cool.   Just tested 102;
Just tested 103;  Nice!

:)

Ashley, this is to express my thanks for rebgui. It is wonderful, 
and a *huge* relief from VID. I spent the week developing a GUI for 
a pet project of mine. Great documentation. Great demo. Great syntax. 
Pure enjoyment!!!

Robert - any other widgets with your branch of RebCode? E.g. tree-view?

Yes, we have a tree-view as well.

Spider graph.

Enhanced TABLE

ah, RebCode .... RebGUI :-)

sounds interesting .... tree-view is handy sometimes.

I want write a chat system. 

 RebGui provide me the client gui. Somebody knows a chat server with 
 history?
(synapse-chat server source code is not available)

Should there be an option for lists like table so that /redraw also 
sets the scroller back to the top?

A nice feature in altme is hyperlinks in chat. ( http://www.google.com
) 
Any way to get this feature en rebGui ?

I'm sort of waiting for R3 rich text support before tackling that. 
It can be done in R2, but it's not pretty.

But R2 is here and now. I am coping & hacking  color.rebol.r  plug-in 
("Volker Nitsch" ) to rebgui ...

color-rebol.r from edit-tools.r

how do i set the window color in code (not through requestor)?

display "" [
	area
	do [face/color: sky]
]

thanks

has the desire for table row-shading come up before? (My first day 
on ALTME - so bear with me if these conversations are somehow searchable...???)

Yes, and there is no such facility in RebGUI.

There is a grid but that needs work

Is "work" being done?
