[!RebGUI] A lightweight alternative to VID

Graham
5-Feb-2008
[7407]
I don't know how easily this can be fixed, but in VID if you highlight 
a text field by dragging across it and move outside the field, the 
highlight stays.  But in Rebgui .. it is lost.

Any chance of having a filter that we can place on a table?

Suggested specification syntax?
Graham

[7410x3]
Well, we need to be able to specify a column, or a list of columns, 
 and a test on that column(s).
How about having an object that represents each column, and we can 
provide a function for each column, or none! .. and if the function 
returns true, for each column where there is a function, then it 
displays ?
Maybe we can also control the sort order this way as well?

Is there a way I can hook into the table display so that I can apply 
a formatting function to a column?
I've got a value of .004 that is being displayed in scientific notation, 
and so I want to use Gabriele's form-decimal on it at display time.

Yeah, it's too bad about that  ecvt issue in Wine.  It's been reported 
for years now.  Quite a few attempts by people to get patches approved 
have gone by the by.

ecvt ?
Ok.  got it.
Ashley

I've got a value of .004 ...

 ... best way is to pre-format the data by poking the string form 
 you wish to present it in.
Graham

Trouble is, all sorts of functions use the data and expect it to 
be numeric, and not a string.
Ashley

The problem's a bit more general than table data then ... what happens 
when this decimal value appears in other widgets (e.g. text, field, 
drop-list, etc) ... fix needs to be at the native level ... perhaps 
we need to patch 'form as an interim measure? Is this a windows only 
issue?
Graham
20-Feb-2008
[7421]
Actually it's a wine issue.  I store the data in the table/data so 
am reluctant to form it there as I use the data for various calculations. 
 Oh well, I have now formed it into text.

do you have to be on the tab panel you are replacing to use tab-panel/replace-tab 
?  I see the new layout appear on the current tab.
Ashley, I got an error on these lines in replace-tab

		pane/:num/color: colors/page
		pane/:num/edge: outline-edge


I presume that there was a change to pane a while ago.  Was this 
related to the new look?
Are the function keys accessible under Linux?
Ashley

 ... No, see the following test case:

	t: tab-panel data [
		"A" [field]
		"B" [field]
	]
	button [t/replace-tab 2 [button]]

Click the button then tab "B".

... Was this related to the new look?

 ... yes, the new look is an extensive WIP that "breaks" build 112.

Are the function keys accessible under Linux?

Yeah, a sdk 2.7.5 issue.
This seems to work in lInux.  In display.r, change

							find [f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8 f9 f10 f11 f12] event/key
to 

       find [ console listen tcp udp icmp dns local odbc oracle mysql crypt 
       compress ] event/key

and redefine on-fkey in rebgui-ctx.r

	on-fkey: make object! [

   console: listen: tcp: udp: icmp: dns: local: odbc: oracle: mysql: 
   crypt: compress: none
	]
so that function keys work in 2.7.5

Any possibility of getting 2-state checkboxes and groups?
Ashley

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

HI, I'm new to Rebgui. Is it possible to use Draw or AGG in Rebgui 
personnal widgets ?

Ok but when i Try a simple example I receive an error :
REBOL []

do %rebgui.r

append-widget make rebface [ draw [
            pen yellow
            line 20x20 80x80
        ]
** Script Error: draw expected image argument of type: image pair
** Near: draw [
    pen yellow
    line 20x20 80x80
]
Is it possible to use drag'n'drop in Regui ?

append-widget [

Cool & simple !

Drag'n'drop support is not 'built-in' as such ... you have to add 
/ code it on a widget by widget basis.

I try to use RebGui with Q-Plot but the plot is in a separate window 
instead of to be inserted intto rebgui  display.
do %rebgui.r
do %q-plot.r
   
append-widget [ 
    plot-widget: make rebface[                             
    view quick-plot [
        300x300
        fill-pen blue
        pen red
        bar-width 15
        bars [5 3 8 2 10 3 4 9 5 7]
        label "Meaningless bars"
        y-axis 9
        ]
        
    ]
]

I'm having some trouble that I was hoping you could help me with.. 
again :)


I want to have a tab in a tab-panel that contains some kind of group 
block and a button. Every time the button is pressed the group block's 
contents should change to a new, dynamically generated, GUI block.


It works up to the part where the button is pressed, but the group 
block is never changed.
I can add that the dynamically generated GUI consists of a mixture 
of texts, fields and another button. When that button is pressed 
all fields are evaluated and possibly modified.

I found the solution by myself :
pane: reduce [                             
     quick-plot [
        300x300
        fill-pen blue
        pen red
        bar-width 15
        bars [5 3 8 2 10 3 4 9 5 7]
        label "Meaningless bars"
        y-axis 9
        ]             
      ]
remove the" view" command & add a reduce command

Ashley, I just tried the 'bistate option from 1.12 and am not sure 
that it works properly. I can toggle between green checkmark and 
blank box via left MB (and the red cross via the right MB has become 
unreachable).  I would have now expected the blank state to replace 
the off state but apparently it still does stand for NONE and displaying 
a CB in False state still shows the red cross......?
Ashley

A null selection in [default] tri-state mode is none! and I didn't 
want to confuse the issue by changing it to false in bi-state (even 
though taken in isolation that would be logical, pardon the pun). 
The bi-state option merely disables the RMB action, it doesn't change 
how or what data you pre-populate with.


If enough folks want it I can make the widget a pure bi-state affair 
that returns true and false (I no longer need the tri-state functionality) 
... but that may break exisitng apps that either depend on the functionality 
or expect none!

Using Linux, I don't see the characters I expect with the fast forward, 
rewind etc ...  I guess due to the different fonts involved.  Is 
there a work round?
Or a symbol font we can sub.

I have a problem, possibly a bug, with the following code. If I press 
start, I get a popup window. Both these can be closed as expected. 
It also works if I press the next button - popup nr 1 is replaced 
by nr 2. Again, both windows can be closed as normal. However, if 
I press next twice and close both windows then Rebol seems be be 
stuck in do-events and the program never terminates.
print "bugz"
do %script/rebgui.r

maingui: [
	text "Hello" return
	button "Start!" [ display-next-word	]
]

count: 0

secondgui: does [
	compose [
		text (join "popup nr " count: count + 1) return
		button "next" [ display-next-word ]
	]
]

display-next-word: make function! [] [
	hide-popup
	display/dialog "Go!" secondgui
]

display "word!" maingui
do-events
halt
Think I've found a bug.. If have a button that does some stuff and 
then hides itself. Works great if I click it, but if I select it 
with tab, press space and then tab again the button will reappear.
