About COPY-SELECTED-TEXT, I think too that without selection it just 
should not copy anything.

Maybe a new flag (copy-all ?) can be use to mark faces where you 
want a copy of all the text if there is no selection.

About mouse selection, yes you can find it on rebol.org.

Fortunately, you can select longer text with the keyboard (shift+down) 
:-)

hmm... how would I properly patch ctx-text's edit-text function?

It seems that I loose bindings on that function if I:

set in ctx-text 'edit-text func [newfunc]

Does anyone have a method for determining the line number in an area?

Henrik: try binding to ctx-text. Maybe thats all.

Josh. Yes. Somewhere.

It was something with offset-to-caret and parse string "^/" IIRC

If you have word wrap on you'll also have to calculate the width 
of the text field and find the wraps.

No, thats offset-to-caret.

Ah, you are right.  It's been a while since I played with the internals 
of the text area...

but which line? that of the caret, or of really displayed area?

Good question.  The initial question was kind of vague.

If it is caret, this (parsing could be improved to not copy, and 
polling dropped by patching feel or set-face)

s: copy""
repeat i 300[repend s [ i newline ]]
help text-info
view layout[ across
 ta: area s para[]  
 slider 16x150 [scroll-para ta face]
 return
 info rate 1 feel[  engage: func[face a e][

  set-face face either all[system/view/caret same? ta system/view/focal-face][
   lines: parse/all copy/part ta/text system/view/caret "^/"   
   form length? lines  
  ][
   "none"
  ]
 ]]  
]

(forget that "help text-info"..)

edit-text binding : IIRC you have to bind it to ctx-text and maybe 
system/view too.


set in ctx-text 'edit-text func [args] bind bind [newfunc] ctx-text 
system/view
(or something of this kind)

Is there a good intro to 3d, more based on examples than on math?

Working on the editor, I think the bar at the bottom works well http://www.geocities.com/kealist/edit.JPG

I think it's a bit dark... maybe it should have the same color as 
the top bar or the botton text should be white

You're right, it's updated now

BTW: has updating information been removed from View? When I start 
a 1.3.1.3.1 desktop under WinXP, I get no message about needing to 
upgrade to 1.3.2.

Hi - could anyone try following? I wanted to try some demos at my 
work, so I wen ty Cyphre's rebsite - start desktop\public\sites\cyphre\ 
 and try Magic carpet ...at my work, with latest View, I could run 
the script and once I tried to close it, Rebol crashed, each time. 
I wanted to try it here at home, to eventually submit RAMBO ticket, 
but I am not able to even start the script - window shows, I can 
see black background, I can see rotating hours icon, then it silently 
disappears ... so - could anyone try it too?

Works fine for me -- and no crashes when closed.
But it fails to be minimized if I try that.

With 1.3.2.3.1 (windows), I get an "Invalid face object!" error (nothing 
more than a black window is displayed).

thanks - crashed on me at work, and script closes automatically here 
at home ...

Hello, I am lookig how to span? an iterated face, to make the face 
scrollable.µ

Sample code:

do http://www.lexicon.net/antonr/rebol/gui/iterated/demo-vid-list-scroller.r

Anton - is this demo related to your earlier attempt to grid system, 
based on interation, being able to hold faces including events?

hope to release my new list-view for VID some time early next year... 
basing it on the standard LIST instead now

whoo, so many lists now :-) btw I wonder why Carl did not include 
his newer version of list, which was imo bacwards compatible, improved, 
and was done at days of IOS 1.3 View initiative ...

did not know there is so many gfx libraries :-) http://dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Graphics/Libraries/

maybe as we found AGG, some small and cute 3D one plus compositing 
one could be found and integrated too :-)

nice - google search for "fast compositing engine" sports Rebol/View 
on fourth place. I just hope someone does not download View to see 
"fast" composition, real-time video transition effects etc :-) cool 
anyway that Rebol is listed :-)

Thanks for your links

list: Petr, any reference to this improved version? I think I have 
it somewhere but can't remember the name of the script.

hmm, would have to start IOS Developers. Dunno if it is still running, 
because when I instlalled my own IOS server, you know that you can't 
have more than one IOS properly installed on one system - what a 
stupid aproach ...

I can send you this by email, i think I found it off-line on my hd 
...

?? Why not? I'm connecting to more than 5 IOS systems.

because that is how default behaves ....

I will repeat it till death - it is plain stupid - one stupid unnecessary 
string in registry, noone needs it, it complicates your life, you 
beg for it to be removed, noone listens ... period ...

With the command line argument to connect to the IOS server you want, 
you can start the IOS client sevral times, each one on a different 
server.

Like altme.

And can be easily guified with sdk..

question: I'm using a text-list, which I update with some data after 
the use selected an entry. I want the slider to go to the top and 
show the first entry in the list as well. Positioning only the slider 
leaves the entries somewhere in teh middle.

tl/update . IIRC its buggy, but top should work.

by slider: sl/data: 0.0 do-face sl none

tl/update not working (only sometimes so it looks).

How to add scroll-wheel support to a text-list?

If I have:
view main-gui

forever [
 wait 0.1
]


How can I exit the forever loop if a user closes the program by ALT+F4 
or clicking the closing X on the window?
