Anton, I'm looking at Style-Gallery...
Should I include "focus-on-down-event-handler.r" in my app? 

And what about "scroll-wheel-handler.r" Does this add functionality?

Yes and yes. They both bring benefits. Both are global handlers.

In style-gallery.r, if you go to Global Options / Handlers, you can 
enable / disable each of the global event handlers (by pressing a 
toggle button) to see the effect on the user interface dynamically.

I've just uploaded 
gui/demo-scroll-wheel-handler.r  and
gui/scroll-wheel-handler.r  is still there of course.

demo-scroll-wheel-handler.r  shows how to
- get and initialise the scroll-wheel-handler
- create and open your windows
- wait for events (VIEW does this)
- clean up the scroll-wheel-handler

Anton, link to http://anton.wildit.net.au/rebol/gui/demo-scroll-area.r
is dead

I'm playing around with scroll-area. SET-FACE/NO-SHOW behaves like 
SET-FACE.

also no action block is available to run, as far as I can see.

is it possible to turn off the horizontal scroller?

Uploaded demo-scroll-area.r.

thanks

Let me check out horizontal scroller ...

I haven't programmed scrollers to be easily optional (though it's 
on to-do list).

ok. would it be possible to turn on wrap? for the area, so the scroller 
might ignore horizontal movement?

Have you tried setting wrap? already ?

I didn't yet study which face directly to set. I assume the text 
area is inside a pane?

Yes. (This is in scroll-area.r script header, at the top of the Notes..)

my-scroll-area/pane/1  or my-scroll-area/area/para/wrap?: true

Hmm.. it works, but there is an unwanted few pixels scroll when typing 
first line is wrapped.

Let me look why...

could it be made so that the hscroller is simply turned off for area/para/wrap? 
= true?

Hmm.. I just tried my-scroll-area/hscroll/show?: false, but as soon 
as you type, it is shown again... :)

it works nicely with BrianH's resizing system, BTW.

Good to hear.

I'm fixing the show code to respect face/show? for subfaces.

the blank area in the bottom right shows a default gray color. the 
color there should probably be none to respect the background.

Easy to change. (my-scroll-area/color: none)

I'll add it to todo... if it's not there already. There might be 
compositing errors visible when resizing or something... can't remember.

ok, thanks.

I'm going to resize the area to take advantage of space when any 
of the scrollers has show?: false

Bit complex... cogitation....

Updated scroll-area

load-thru/update http://anton.wildit.net.au/rebol/gui/scroll-area.r

do-thru/update http://anton.wildit.net.au/rebol/gui/demo-scroll-area.r

- scroll-area/color is now NONE by default to respect background.

- The horizontal/vertical scrollers are now optionally and dynamically 
visible/invisible.

  - New facets VSCROLL? and HSCROLL? have been added to facilitate 
  this.

  - When any scroller is not shown, the area resizes to take the extra 
  space.

anton i got a problem, it says user-prefs has no value

what is exactly user-prefs

hang on...

its in the demo

What version of View are you running ?

I've tested it mainly on View 2.7.6.4.2 and 2.7.6.3.1 (in wine), 
on linux.

ok i ll try with those ones

i would like to take the last versions of sdk for windows and linux

maybe its better if i try with those ones

1.3.2.3.1

It sounds like you're running a version of View without user prefs, 
or with --noinstall or something (check command line invocation).

its the version of view i use

Ok, I'll try that one.

-- noinstall ?

the object exists
