Build#47 committed to SVN, fixes locale bug and adds new translate 
function as described above.

Regarding 'put-input, I don't think you should report an error if 
there is insufficient data ...

this is with build 47

display "" [ r: radio-group data [ "M" "F" ] button "M" [ r/select-item 
1 ] button "F" [ r/select-item 2 ] button "
Probe" [ probe r/selected] ] do-events

note that whatever the state of the radio-button, the selected value 
is always none, and the radio buttons are not mutually exclusive 
:(

The values are only 1 and 2 if the mouse is used to select the radio 
buttons

Build#48 committed to SVN, incorporating Robert's/Cyphre's extensive 
changes ((including new chart, drop-tree, grid, input-grid & panel 
widgets). Panel & Input-Grid added to %tour.r.


These new widgets (apart from panel) have an impressive range of 
options/features ... but scant documentation or usage examples. If 
Robert/Cyphre could post a few examples here that would help. If 
anyone reads the source code and figures something out then an entry 
or two here would be appreciated: http://trac.geekisp.com/rebgui/wiki/WidgetList

could there be a package produced from #48?

I'm going to hack in some notes/docs on the web-page. (As I'm currently 
using our changelog as documentation, and it's way to much these 
days.).

Ashley, did you incorporated all changes or are there are some left 
out?

the grid released is version of grid Cyphre did for me?

no, it's something different. I write some docs for it.

I am just curious if those two grids overlap in functionality?

that would be unnecessary waste of Cyphre's dev resources imo ....

It doesn't.

I just added documenation for:
- drop-list (we added a lot of functionality)
- drop-tree
- input-grid

Big ones still open are CHART and TABLE (added a lot of stuff as 
well). Other changes we did effect: group-box, field, radio-group

did you fix the radio-group Robert ?

in what sense?

The bug I reported at the top of this page.

We have reworked radio-group to support/return positional IDs. Hence 
the specification syntax in our version changed.  I never had the 
bug your reported. Give it a try.

This is odd.

I just synced to 48, and none of the native requesters work.

They flash and then disappear again.

the OS native file-requester works

radio-group is now fixed.

in #48

anyone confirm this?  I tested in tour.r

deleted my local store,and resynced.  Now works

Robert, is there a tree widget now?

Got an example of how it works?

not sure there is separate tree-view, but I would like to vote for 
one. tree-list might be good code base for introduction of separate 
tree-view?

what does drop-tree do then?

not sure. I can imagine, that it is like drop-list, but instead of 
list you have tree to chose itesm from?

No idea ... is Cyphre around?

I can't see him on ICQ, so probably not currently ...

Would you ask him once he surfaces

of course I will do. I am just catching back, I was away for 3 days 
- I visited Iron Maiden concert in Stuttgart and it was really an 
energy taking experience :-))

Now I'm seeing the same problem in my app.  Windows are just flashing 
open and closing immediately :(

Looks like display/dialog is broken somewhere

did you incorporated all changes or are there some left out?

 I left out the number-field widget and all references to it (as per 
 Cyphre's note in the widget source). Your button changes, especially 
 the addition of a click? word, were incompatible with mine so I left 
 them out as well. The rest of the changes were merged in pretty much 
 as they are; I have not had time to review/optimize the code in depth 
 ... although I fixed a few incompatibilities that prevented tour.r 
 from working. For your reference these were the minor changes I made::


 - instead of drop-list generating an error if it doesn't get a block 
 of strings, I changed it so it forms values within a block
	- radio-group does a reduce on the data block

 - rewrote panel widget so it works consistently and doesn't require 
 /origin changes to layout

 - the detect up feel in rebgui-display was failing with requestors 
 and an invalid mouse-down-offset so I added it as an extra condition 
 of the all block

 - tool-tip-time was incorrectly initialized to now, changed to now/time/precide 
 so it works on Mac/Linux

 - renamed tooltip-bkg to tooltip-fill and made tool-bar widget use 
 these new tooltip color settings (3 in total)
	- updated tour.r radio-group labels to strings
	- added panel and input-grid examples to tour.r
	- added place-holder entries in Trac WidgetList


My primary objective was to merge these changes ASAP before the code 
had diverged too much more. I'm happy with the merged result (it 
works and there are 5 new widgets), but it's probably not well tested 
or stable enough for a bundle yet.

I synced to a new repository again .. and am seeing the same problem 
still.

There is an intermittent condition which causes modal ( dialog ) 
windows to flash and close immediately.

I haven't been able to reproduce this consistently in tour.r.  Although 
it is consistent in my own application.

Ashley, have you investigated this yet?

Ashley, thanks for the feedback. WRTstability and quality. I'm using 
this code for several month now in a very big and complex application. 
It works very good.


We take a look at your modifications and merge them back to our stream, 
so we are back in sync.

drop-tree: It's a menu system, that uses a tree in a drop-down list. 
It's very compact, easy to understand. The idea is, instread of having 
10 menus horizontally and you have to remember where funciton XYZ 
is located in, you get a hierarchical overview and just choose it.

tree: Well, drop-tree has a complete tree widget inside. So, I think 
we should extract it and provide it as a seperate widget as well. 
Anyone going to do it?

Got a short example of the drop tree in action?

Plus grid and chart? ;)
