World: r3wp

on frech  scene we are actually discussing  on the  best  way to 
do a  RTM (Ritch Text Mark) widget.

2 philosophy are  fighting

Me with the DRAW/AGG philosophy ( run faster allow to handle large 
kind  of documents  but  i really don't  know how to really handle 
the text cursor)  And  Coccinelle who represents the View phylosiphy

so as i'm  actually  stuck with the  text cursor full handling concept 
 Coccinelle use this  time to build a widget  based to view algorithm 
 and exploiting VID  cursor concept (T___T CRAPPY  cursor selection 
way  if that could be changed in rebol 3.0  i would be the happier 
man in the world ...)

anyway  here is the marco brand  new redering widget

of course unlike our  previous rendering projects  (MD-Viewer, MDP-GUI, 
MDP-BRowser) this little challenge and brain storming intent to treat 
input as well as output rendering.

Coccinelle's TDM Style http://www.ladyreb.org/wiki/doku.php?id=tmdstyle

Sahdwof' RTE -> http://shadwolf.free.fr/rte-evolution03.r

of  course  our  final goal is to offert to RebGUI  community the 
first true  heavy fashonned Richt text editing widget

Feel  free to retake  our code and  enhance  it  code  enhancement 
 can  be sent in the Rich Text  topic here

Choose  your technology  and make it  win   ^^

Just a precision, TDM Style use FACE capability to calculate the 
offset and the size of each items and also to for the caret <> offset 
mapping, but it use DRAW/AGG to display the result. Vectorial text 
is not supported. For this, we realy need the cursor managed by DRAW/AGG.

Impressive effort guys, and while it can enable things like WYSIWYG 
editors and HTML renderers it's not a priority for RebGUI inclusion 
at present. I'm comfortable waiting for an "official" solution in 
R3, but if folks need rich text *now* then they have at least two 
alternatives! ;)

Is there a way to visually select a row in the table widget *without* 
triggering the associated action?

Yes, table/select-row/no-action

thanks.

I've added this to rebgui-edit.r feel -> engage -> switch

				alt-down [
					if face/type = 'area [
						face/action face
					]
				]

to allow me to bring up a context menu on the area widget.

my version anyway ...

Don't know if this is some type of font issue, but labels are bold 
in Windows, but in Debian, they are not.

Probably a font issue. Try changing font to Arial (set-fonts/name 
"Arial").

No difference .. is Arial a standard Linux font?

More standard than the default verdana. Does VID have the same issue?

let me check.

No, fine in VID

Hmm, labels are Arial 12 in VID so the following should work in RebGUI:

	set-fonts/name "arial"
	set-fonts/size 12
	display "test" [label "Text"]

if not, check the font name and size used by VID;

	layout [a: label]
	help a/font

I just downloaded build #46 off dobeash and ran it on Debian.

No bold text anywhere.

Let me check the fonts available in Debian.

dunno where the font browser is in Debian.

helvetica

Ok, that works.  Changing the font to helvetica gives me bold.  Thanks.

Arial I recall is a windows only font that was supposed to substitute 
for helvetica

Uploaded your alt-action area change to SVN as build#50, except it 
triggers alt-action like so:

	area [] [print "Right click"]

Was this tested?

 display "" [ area 100x100 [][print "alt click"]] do-events

does nothing for me.

ooops... retract that.

Regarding info fields, you can't click into them, but you can tab 
to them.  Should that be allowed?

No, and the same for info areas.

Just thinking that one should be allowed to click into an info field, 
highlight and copy from them.  But just not type into them.

I would like to see tab also activate the face action.  I've asked 
this before, and take it that I have to do it myself.

I see a block called action-on-enter, so presumably I create my own 
little list of widgets, and then trap the tab key, and fire the action.

for a block called action-on-tab

I prefer not to fork as it creates too much work merging back when 
Rebgui updates

Sounds like a good change, feel free to commit it.

I get an error message when running my Rebgui app on OSX. Works fine 
on windows Any ideas?

** Script Error: Cannot use subtract on time! value
** Where: wake-event
** 
Near: now/time/precise - tool-tip-time

I've not used the tooltips ..

What's interesting is that I don't believe I am using tool-tips either.

Fixed in build#46 (Desktop -> Demos -> RebGUI will fix it).

Aren't we up to #49 though?

On SVN.

when I click on it from the desktop i get Script Error: query has 
no value
** Near: querying: to logic! query
