Is that OK though? I have to find some windows app and try it :-)

Mostly you use radio buttons in a group, so ....

That's right. Radio buttons make no sense unless they are in a group. 
If you want a single on and off option then you must use a checkbox.

how do the pane buttons in the Rebol/View User Setup get the pressed 
state look when they are active?

maybe they are not buttons, but toggles? Ehm ... not btns, but togs 
:-)

I seem to have found a solution, but it's ridiculously complex...

pekr: ah thanks. I didn't know there were new versions of toggle

now it works. way simpler. thank you very much, pekr

well, thank to others. I just asked few days ago if there is new 
version of toggle, and someone (Ashle?) gave me an advice :-)

how do I keep the view window open if I run rebol.exe  myscript.r 
so I can see the results? thanks.

Put a HALT at the end of the script. If you want to see the console, 
simply print something like PRINT "finished"

thanks!

Ok, that was weird!  I just started View and it told me there was 
a new version to be downloaded and when I clicked download it popped 
up a file requester asking me where I want to download view.exe to. 
 The weird part is the default path it popped up was C:/Program Files/Common 
Files/System/Mapi/1033/NT  Where the hell did that come from?

Hm...  Somehow VIEW is triggering my Virus Scan Software...  Not 
sure just what is going on but when I run View 1.2.125 it is telling 
me that there is a new version of View available and immediately 
thereafter my Virus Scan is popping up a requester claiming files 
that I KNOW aren't viruses are viruses.

I just ran the View desktop, and was advised of a newer version.. 
which I duly downloaded.

REBOL/View 1.3.0.3.1 10-Jun-2005 Core 2.6.0
Copyright 2000-2005 REBOL Technologies.  All rights reserved.
REBOL is a trademark of REBOL Technologies. WWW.REBOL.COM

So, looks like 1.3 has actually now been released.

And the familiar rebol icon is back again.

http://www.rebol.com/download.htmlshows the new download versions

Officially released 10-jun according to the download page:
http://www.rebol.com/view-platforms.html

[oops we typed at the same moment]

I guess it might be worthwhile waiting for LNS to do a library interface.

Kill two birds with one stone as it were.

Now, where is Viewcmd 1.3 ?

rebol 1.3.0.3.1 final - upgrade command, and the result? "You are 
running an unknown version of REBOL." :-)

what do you mean by "library interface" Gregg?

Can someone try 'call and 'sound interface? At least 'call seems 
to work, while when you start Desktop, those components are listed 
as "(View/Pro). If those are unlocked, then Desktop text should be 
enabled ...

enabled=corrected

well, my gomoku script which uses sound dies under 1.3 :(

that is bad, and probably mistake by RT, not intention - they claimed 
sound will be free for 1.3. 'call seems to work here, but I have 
license key, so I wonder if I don't run /Pro.

I have /pro license .. just saying that my script dies

because of other problems with new View 1.3

hmm, anyway - why console does not report anymore you are using license? 
That way I can't be sure if I run /Pro or not ...

sound works for me

Is there a "proper" way to set font properties for a single element, 
such as 'text after the layout is created?

I'm trying:
view layout [a: text "12345" b: text "12345"]


and set the font size for a: a/font/size: 14 (b is 12 at this point)

then I unview it and:
view layout [a: text "12345" b: text "12345"]
once more. Now b has font size 14 as well.

They seem to share the same font object....

Does %user.r work with View 1.3. I add the following line to %/c/rebol/view/user.r

	print "User.r called"


then double-click the %rebol.exe file in the same directory ... but 
no message.

Henrik, in these cases you need a local font object.

and set the font size for a: a/font/size: 14 (b is 12 at this point)

 <--- I don't set a to a/font/size there although it looks that way, 
 sorry.

should be "and set the font size for the variable a to: a/font/size: 
14"

I'm not sure just how that changed, Ashley, but I did hear some talk 
somewhere here about execution of user.r being removed because its 
a security issue...

A and B share the same, so what you need to do is

view layout [a: text "12345" font-size 14 b: text "12345"]  ?

a/font: make a/font [size: 12]

ashley: I can't determine font size at layout time

christianE: interesting, I'll try it. thanks

christianE: it seems to work, thanks :-) now to integrate it into 
my program...

You're welcome.

Ah, should have mentioned that it's not necessary to do that *everytime* 
you change the fontsize. It's necessary only for the first time you 
alter it.

After that, you simply can A/FONT/SIZE: 13

I didn't think it was either :-)

yes, works in my program too! solves an age old problem for me :-)
