World: r3wp

Oldes: the demo is fabulous... congrats!

you should try and market your engine as an alternative to the other 
flash game building tools.

Max - pity Cyphre is overloaded with work. He did some library for 
R2, where he mapped it to HW acceleration, so that you could have 
general face rendering accelerated IIRC.

about www.reboltutorial.com , its one of the best rebol specific 
pages out there... There is a lot of very cool & unknown work on 
that page.... too bad the author hasn't put any of his stuff on rebol.org.... 
we would have more knowledge of it.   strange is that the author's 
name isn't anywhere on the site... even though we have a good clue 
as to who it is IIRC...

pages = sites

What are the prerequisites?

ok, let's see...

it's not for R3

ah, yes. :-) it's for R2.

sorry.(

but, I should probably make a message in the script about that..

You did already. My fault not to read.

it's in the announce, sqlab just missed it

Henrik, how long have you been working on this in secret!  ?

About 9 months. :-)

So Carl, Max etc knew about this?

BrianH and Anton has known for a couple of months. No one else. I 
only told Carl last week who wanted me to go public with it.

Anton has his own style set too.

Yes, he has. However I wanted to stay simple with this and after 
a long time of messing around, I found a good angle to extending 
VID without having to resort to a complete rewrite or nasty hacks.

I just tried resizing the style browser and the face in the middle 
doesn't return to the same place it started from.

It has not been in a usable state until very recently, which counts 
for the development time, where I got to test it in a larger business 
app. It's still not there, but it was way more fun than plain VID 
or simple customizations on VID.

Initially it's centred in the panel .. but shrink it down to minimum 
and then resize it, it falls to the bottom

Yes, if you downsize a face beyond minimum size, resizing will screw 
up. That's one of the things I've not figured out how to fix yet.

the text in white also goes crazy

So, can't you specify a minimum resize value to stop this?

There are bound to be a lot of bugs in it. Maybe I should set up 
a curecode for it.

and a SVN

No, the only way is a minimum size on the window.

Your well developed table style I guess is not ported ...

It's much the same resize code as Brian and I showed two years ago.

LIST-VIEW works fine in it. My internal 0.0.54 is adapted to it.

oh .. ok :)

but, this holds a possible replacement, one that is much better designed 
and way smaller.

No accordion style tab panels ??

:)

vertical tabs that collapse? that's probably possible to do.

I've got one in rebgui ... but it's all hard coded ... I wouldn't 
know how to generalise it.

maybe I can figure something out.

I think the basic style set people are looking for are those that 
are used in JS.

can you point to an image or example?

tabs ( accordions ), tables, grids

Sure ... let me find one

I see. Yours is quite advanced. My first try would be a simpler one, 
and we would have to see where we could go from there.

Probably a better example http://www.screencast.com/users/SynapseEMR/folders/Jing/media/fe4163c3-1388-45ce-a93c-c2799bf7b3dd

I was trying to emulate the Microoft Common User Interface  aka CUI

Microsoft

The problem with mine appears with lots of data as I don't use a 
face iterator but build everything in memory.

So, how would you compare your vid exxtensions with RebGui ?

I haven't done much of a comparison, but I think if you are relying 
on RebGui, it would not be wise to switch. Also I wouldn't market 
this as a separate, new toolkit, but as VID as it should be. RebGui 
is probably more stable. There are still plenty of things left to 
do here. Even though many of the things I've done here are very generic, 
it has primarily been designed to solve specific problems with some 
apps I've had to build a few months ago.
