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?

Robert emailed me his code, I just have to find some time to go through 
it and merge the grid-specific stuff.

fantastic.

I'm getting a really weird display error from an area where I try 
to set the face/text manually.. I'll try to paste the code to reproduce 
(RebGUI #101)

REBOL [
	title: "Weird error in area"
	Date: 04-Dec-2007
	File: %areaerror.r
	Author: "Johan Aires Rasten"
	Version: 0.1.0
]

do %rebgui.r


; Values of 25 or less doesn't produce the error, but larger ones 
do
max-info-lines: 26


display system/script/title [
	panel sky data [
		after 1
		button-size 30
		button "Status" [print-info "status"]
		button "Archive" [print-info "archive"]
		button "test" [
			loop 30 [print-info "status"]
			loop max-info-lines - 4 [print-info "archive"]
		] 
		button "crash!" [print 1 / 0]
	]

 info-area: "To see error: Press test button, then Status once" area 
 80x40 #HW options[info] data []
]

info-area-list: make list! []

print-info: make function! [
	info
][
;	Add the line to the buffer
	append info-area-list rejoin [info "^/"]
	if max-info-lines < length? head info-area-list [
		remove head info-area-list
	]

; set-text works, but it moves the scrolling area to the top
;	set-text info-area rejoin make block! head info-area-list

; This produces weird errors:
	info-area/text: rejoin make block! head info-area-list
	show info-area
]

do-events

Replace:


 info-area: "To see error: Press test button, then Status once" area

with:


 info-area: area "To see error: Press test button, then Status once"

Ah.. didn't solve my problem though :\

Also, replace:

	info-area/text: rejoin make block! head info-area-list

with:

	info-area/text: form rejoin make block! head info-area-list

The text still becomes mangled when I press the status button

Forget my two previous suggestions and try adding the following line:

	info-area/text: rejoin make block! head info-area-list
	info-area/line-list: none	; line to add
	show info-area

Ashley ~

in your RebGui tour under Configure UI, Behavior you have a tabbable 
field - among the widgets in there is drop-list. The Grouping tab 
cintains drop-lists among other widgets, yet I cannot tab to them... 
What am I missing?

Good spot, edit-list is tabbable drop-list is not.

Hmm - I always strive to mave my UIs navigable by keyboard for speed 
and this necessitates use of  the rodent - any way to give tabbability 
here too?

It's a problem as tabbable and focus usually go hand-in-hand. Button 
had the same issue, and required quite a bit of hacking to get it 
working. Other non-focusable widgets have the same issue (e.g. check 
and radio-group). Keyboard navigation has been an issue for RebGUI 
(and VID) for quite some time ... just ask Pekr ;)
