World: r3wp

I have a text-list in a layout and I have a simple log-function:
log: func [message [string! block!]][
	append log-list/data rejoin [now/date "/" now/time " " message]
	show log-list
]

If MESSAGE is longer than the width of the text-list MESSAGE isn't 
shown. Why this? The first two parts NOW/DATE and NOW/TIME are shown.

I expected that MESSAGE gets clipped

yeah, but it doesn't. .it just gets dropped from the display

That has been annoying me for some years.

Hmm... is there a simple fix, patch available?

I don't recall ever running into that specific problem before but 
I know that I've always done more than just SHOWing the text-list 
after updating its data...

Ok, that's a hint. So Ammon, what have you done? :-)) Shoot it?

What version of REBOL are you using?

REBOL/Link 1.0.6.3.1 3-Aug-2002

text-list/update

Sounds like a wrapping issue in the iterated faces...

Yes it does.

yeah, wraps to another line that you can't see

I try it... just a moment.

Add this to your text-list:

with [append init [iter/para/wrap?: false]]

Ammon, nice effect: It doesn't update at all :-)) I have to click 
into the text-list than it updates. But the long line is still missing.

But I don't want to wrap it. I just want to see as much as possible 
with the rest being clipped.

Did you show it after you updated it?

Try the code Chris gave...

Now it updates but no long line. I try Chris' code. Need to go, sorry. 
Bye.

Ok, this fixes the problem... Now the text is clipped.

aahhh, no matter how deeply you know something, there is always something 
that gets on your nerve...

changing the button font color seems to be a genuine pain... can 
someone refresh me why its impossible?


this doesn't work... altough I've allocated a stand-alone font and 
have removed all the dynamic code which AFAIK plays around with the 
font or text:



view layout [button "ok" font [color: red] with [feel: make feel 
[redraw: none over: none]]]

yet, this works:


view layout [text "ok" font [color: red] with [feel: make feel [redraw: 
none over: none]]]

you have to set 'colors, not 'color:

view layout [button "ok" font [colors: reduce [red white]] with [feel: 
make feel [redraw: none over: none]]]
for a button with inactive color red and active color white

strange I tried it earlier and it didn't work...

so basically, If I try with a font without colors attribute, then 
it should work?

for 'button yes - font/color is a copy of font/colors/1 at  init

AHHH that's it... forgot to look in init...

that is evil...

I mean, init swapping the color...

merci Vincent

Anyone had Norton 2005 worm detection, blocking REBOL/view as a worm 
called "DeepThroat Trojan Horse" ? I've had it twice today whilst 
using rebol for ftp uploads

I'm hoping this a false reading, and my machine hasn't been infected/hijacked

I tried to send a rebol archive the other day using my hotmail account 
( testing attachments with my webmail ) and it said it was infected. 
 Scanned it with bitdefender which said it was clean .

Does any one have a HINT on how i can make a dragg & drop Face to 
DROP within the bouderies of an underlaying face.. I.e. Im dragging 
a Face over a field of faces, when I drop it on the face below and 
then the dropped face should FIT itself inside the face below. Is 
there someting default for this in view/vid ? or do i need to calculate 
it myself? .. Its a kind of a Puzzle-piece drop...

Do you have access to the Developer IOS Server?

Mmmm no... dont have IOS here running...

Only have SDK en View/pro ...

Start here...  http://www.rebol.com/how-to/feel.html

That'll at least show you dragging

Jaaa thats not the problem

the problem is to get the face exactly inside the face below

when i release the mouse button...

currently it drops at the point of release but it should drop inside 
a boundery of the face below..

I think i need to build a extra fcuntion for it..

You do

so nothing there inside View thats able to check this by default 
then?

Not AFAIK
