World: r3wp

Ladisla - thank, that was it. I mean - break-after fixed it.  With 
above - columns, to simply reproduce it, just view child, close the 
window, and call view child once again ... it breaks to console after 
a while with stack overflow. Well, now I know that 'columns is not 
used anymore, but you might try to look at it, if you have time, 
to see why it causes stack overflow ...

Hmm, nothing seems to be fixed ...

Could you try following code? You can eventually replace 'vpanel 
by 'hpanel [break-after: 1]. With vpanel, it just causes stack overflow, 
with hpanel, it kind of displays panel, but try to resize the window 
and see the mes ...


REBOL []

do %r3-gui.r3

lay: [

		when [load] do [print "Load trigger!"]
		clicker
		button "Do" alert "Button pressed!"

  button "Big Quit Button" maroon options [max-size: 2000x50] quit
		bar
		text "Toggle button..."
		t1: toggle "Toggle" of 'tog
		button "Set False" set 't1 false
		button "Set True"  set 't1 true
		toggle "Mirror" attach 't1
		toggle "Mutex" of 'tog
		bar
		text "Radios and check boxes"
		radio "Set above toggle on"  set 't1 true
		radio "Set above toggle off" set 't1 false
		bar
		check "Checkbox attached to above toggle" attach 't1

child: make-face 'vpanel []
set-panel-content child lay
view child

Well, I stop my tries to port a demo now. My take is, that following 
primitive code should work easily, when repeated for the second time, 
but it does not:

lay: [button "OK"]

child: make-face 'hpanel [break-after: 1]
set-panel-content/no-show child lay
view child


My take is, that either make-face is not creating a structure needed 
later, or 'parse-panel is buggy, or I don't know what :-)

eh, excuse me, couldn't following code be causing an infinite loop? 
:-)

show-native: :show
show: funct [gob][
;	print "SHOW>>>>"
;	set 'gcnt 0
;	t: now/time/precise
	update-subgobs gob
;	print ["updated:" gcnt "GOB(s) in " now/time/precise - t]
;	t: now/time/precise
	show-native gob	
;	print [now/time/precise "SHOW call in" now/time/precise - t]
;	gob
]

The only place show-native is called separately from is - 'hide-tooltip 
...

who wrote the above SHOW function?

(I was unable to reproduce the stack overflow)

I was able to not only repeat the VIEW CHILD twice, but even ten 
times without any stack overflow

I don't know, it is taken from your latest build?

I just hope I don't have mess on my HD :-(, I have several versions 
here to study, even Carl's one ...

I am certainly not using that one here, will have to discuss it with 
Cyphre

it's taken from the source/view-show.r3

I am just wondering - it will cause a stack overflow at each show 
call. I wonder - show is not called the first time? How is that it 
crashes the second time?

I will unpack the sources again ...

aha, sorry, you may have the correct one

hmm, it really seems to be in r3-gui-src.zip ...

But, anyway, it is strange, that I am unable to reproduce your findings

ok, then I have maybe messed r3-gui.r3 .... will unpack the latest 
one ...

hmm, it's in there too ...

show-native: :show
show: funct [gob] [
    update-subgobs gob
    show-native gob
]

ok, moving home from work, later ...

So, guys, is there any new revised release in the plan? Or any explanations 
to my findings? Thanks :-)

btw - maybe more direct question - where's defined spacing between 
the elements? I mean - I run Carl's demo next to RMA's demo, and 
I think that Carl's version got element spacing more pleasant. Where 
should I look to change it?

Any pointer appreciated ...

Cyphre is ill (flu), so there might be some delays in answers.

Petr, do you have a screenshot?

We have the box-model like CSS, so there are a lot of different spacing 
things that can be defined.

ok, I'll make one right away ....

http://xidys.com/pekr/rebol/r3-gui-comparison.jpg

this is just first prototype of first section. I have problem making 
a panel, to work reliably ... I don't understand the space at the 
top of the panel, that is still probably buggy on my part ...

Cool... you already made good progress. Do you know the boxmodel 
graphic? I might need to add it to our web-page.

no, I don't ... just the general doc for the WIP, plus your resizing 
docs ...

I vote for the MDP docs being added into the distro, if possible 
... or their generated html variant ...

So, guys, is there any new revised release in the plan?
 - most probably next week
Or any explanations to my findings?

 - having trouble to reproduce some of your findings here, and some 
 problems are related to the parts Cyphre is working on

http://www.rm-asset.com/code/level1/r3-gui/resizing/#sect5

HTML docs are online.

regarding your layout containing the WHEN and CLICKER elements, they 
look like still being incompatible with the current resizing

(that was a note to Pekr)

I know Ladislav - I even tried to comment them out, becuase I was 
nervous about the top empty space, which can be seen in the image 
I posted.

I even took the content out, to remove it from the demo dependency, 
and tried, I posted short script, and the space is still there ...

You can see the short script few of my messages above - the spaca 
is still there. I worry, that I still don't have good understanding 
of panel content handling functions, I used:

child: make-face 'vpanel []
set-panel-content child lay
view child

or 'hpanel [break-after: 1]

You can see what I have got resizing such a layout: http://xidys.com/pekr/rebol/messy-resizing.jpg

When i close window, and call my %test.r3 again, I get stack overflow 
we discussed earlier ... Dunno, why I did not get it running the 
first time ...

CLICKER was not adapted, so no matter how hard you try, without adapting 
it, you cannot achieve good results

I think that the trouble is in make-face and how the panel is preconstructed 
.... because when I use the same layout submitted just to view, it 
works correctly ...

I am not judging the clicker, just comment it out :-)

so what, when I comment the two incompatible parts of the layout 
out, it looks normal doesn't it?

OK, just try very simple layout:

lay: [button "OK"]

child: make-face 'hpanel [break-after: 1]
set-panel-content/no-show child lay
view child
