[!RebGUI] A lightweight alternative to VID
older newer | first last |
Robert 3-Apr-2006 [3269] | If you have a form with several fields I want to have something like: store data-form and get back a block like this: [name text "Graham" rebol value true ...] So for all widgets where the SAVE flag is set, the name of the widgit word, the word and value is returned. With this it's possible to handle records very comfortable. |
Ashley 3-Apr-2006 [3270] | put-form/all my-display block-of-values-returned-by-sql-call blk: get-form my-display I've got as far as thinking about how it could / should be implemented (there are some interesting issues with grouping widgets like group-box, table, text-list, etc); but my focus at the moment is to complete the SVN setup / structure / documentation / usage instructions so as collaborative development can begin (and I am no longer the bottle-neck in changes being implemented). Unfortunately, I'm two weeks into an intensive four week certification course (non-IT related) so REBOL things are on the back burner for a while (although I'm popping in here to answer the odd question here and there where I can). |
Graham 3-Apr-2006 [3271] | I'm not sure that this is relevant, but I did some basic screen validation for vid, and documented here http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/REBOL_Programming/Language_Features/Parse/Screen_Validation |
Thør 4-Apr-2006 [3272] | manual resync... |
Graham 4-Apr-2006 [3273x3] | Is there a "fit" for images as in Vid? |
umm... the other way round... display an image in it's native size. | |
unscaled. | |
Ashley 4-Apr-2006 [3276] | image effect 'fit image effect [fit] |
Julia 4-Apr-2006 [3277] | i can't undestand - what's the best way to change view of widgets, for example i want to change arraws of slider in textarea? |
Graham 4-Apr-2006 [3278x2] | this is rebgui ... |
image effect 'aspect ... was what I was looking for. | |
Julia 4-Apr-2006 [3280] | ? |
Ashley 5-Apr-2006 [3281] | want to change arraws of slider in textarea? ... change in what way? Look? Feel? Where the arrows are located? Arrows or chevrons? Colour? |
Anton 5-Apr-2006 [3282x6] | I think Julia wants to do skinning, changing the look of the slider. Well, I programmed the slider/scroller, and I can say that it is not easy to reskin. You will have to get your hands dirty :) When rebgui first came out, it was intended to be very lightweight, so I think Ashley only started to want to add fancier abilities like skinning later. When I wrote slider/scroller, I was trying to be as minimalist as possible, so it's quite "hard-wired" with respect to how it draws itself. |
Maybe Julia means how to change the colours ? Well, as I remember, I just used button colours. | |
Ashley, how's the splitting of widgets into separate files going ? What method are you using to integrate them into the final context ? | |
Here is a very simple patch to slider, which makes a nice half-second pause at the beginning of a scroll: if find [down time] act [ if act = 'down [face/rate: 2] if act = 'time [face/rate: 16] | |
The above two lines are of course highly amenable to be optimized into one. (This way is just more similar to the original code.) | |
(Just search for the first line " if find [down time] act [" to find the correct position for the patch...) | |
Ashley 5-Apr-2006 [3288] | Thanks. "how's the splitting of widgets into separate files going?" Done, it's all in SVN now: http://trac.geekisp.com/rebgui/browser Anyone who wants dev access (both source and Wiki write access) just drop me a private message and I'll get you a username (same as REBOL3 username) and password. A lot remains to be done before I open it up to full collaborative access, but having a few folks on it means we can test the infrastructure / process (in addition to getting some changes into RebGUI faster). Changes like the above are good candidates to start with. ;) |
ChristianE 6-Apr-2006 [3289] | Hi Ashley, I'd really like to be part of the trac RebGUI initiative, so, may I ask you to set up an account for me? I'm currently working on compatible improvements for the tab handling to allow tabbing in and out of widgets grouped in e.g. group-boxes, which I'd like to see being part of the official distro. |
Robert 6-Apr-2006 [3290] | I would like to get an account as well. |
Ashley 6-Apr-2006 [3291] | Done and done. SVN client software is available at: Windows: http://tortoisesvn.sourceforge.net/ Mac: http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/en/community/subversion/svnx/features/ Linux: http://esvn.umputun.com/ Please flag any source code changes you make with a comment that includes your initials. |
Graham 6-Apr-2006 [3292] | What's the way to change the font size and unit sizes? I see you have this in the demo but it's not clear to me how this is used. |
ChristianE 7-Apr-2006 [3293] | Graham, you simply SET-SIZES MY-UNIT-SIZE and SET-FONTS/SIZE MY-FONT-SIZE, RebGUI does all the rest. If you then unview and redisplay you'll see the changes. |
Graham 7-Apr-2006 [3294x2] | Ok, I got it now. ctx-rebgui/widgets/set-sizes unit-size font-size |
Someone was trying out my program on an UMPC (Origami) so I needed to resize down to that size. | |
Ashley 7-Apr-2006 [3296x2] | Note that 'set-sizes and 'set-fonts are global. |
At least in 0.4.1 that is. | |
Graham 7-Apr-2006 [3298] | ahh.. I just looked at tour.r and you set them within the context. |
Robert 7-Apr-2006 [3299x2] | I have the following problem: I need to provide a drop-list with two columns. And one of the columns has long texts in it, so that you can't read it if the drop-list isn't made extremly wide. Has anybody an idea how to best create the GUI for such a selection? |
Maybe something like a tooltip would help... | |
Volker 7-Apr-2006 [3301] | or make it clickable and open a text-window? |
Graham 8-Apr-2006 [3302x2] | Anyway to filter on a table ? |
So, only display rows that match a certain criterion? | |
Ashley 8-Apr-2006 [3304] | Not presently. |
[unknown: 9] 9-Apr-2006 [3305] | KEY123 (please ignore) |
Graham 10-Apr-2006 [3306] | Can you change the size of text within a table? |
Ashley 10-Apr-2006 [3307] | Not individually as it uses default-font. |
Graham 10-Apr-2006 [3308] | how about all the text in a table ? |
Ashley 10-Apr-2006 [3309] | By individually I meant the table in isolation to other widgets (i.e. using font [size: nn] instead of set-sizes) |
Graham 10-Apr-2006 [3310x2] | Ok. I've give that a go. |
this doesn't work mytable: table 25x68 font [size: 5 ] #YH options ... | |
Ashley 10-Apr-2006 [3312] | Not individually as it uses default-font. ;) |
Graham 10-Apr-2006 [3313] | So, can I set the font size in a particular table isolated from other widgets? |
Ashley 10-Apr-2006 [3314] | No, as it uses default-font. |
Graham 10-Apr-2006 [3315] | shame. |
Ashley 10-Apr-2006 [3316] | It's rare to come across a GUI (WinXP, Mac) where widgets have arbitrary sizes. The intended use of the font attribute is to change things other than size (alignment, style, color mostly) ... but even then I like to remind myself that in UI design consistency is king. |
[unknown: 9] 11-Apr-2006 [3317] | True, but ussually fonts do change (even inside tables). I have always felt teh whole you UI should be sizable. I really liked the NeXT. |
Gabriele 11-Apr-2006 [3318] | actually there are two things: 1) ability to scale 2) ability to resize |
