World: r3wp

In my chat client, I use Allen's parser to create active links for 
http/s ftp etc.

Allen and Gabriele's

Is it safe to assume that messages will always be in ascending age 
order? i.e. Do we need to cater for message insertion at top? Or 
message numbers that are in descending order? I want to avoid having 
sortable columns. Simple but functional is good.

 ... rebol.org link?

http://www.compkarori.com/reb/download-manager.r

Click on the Synapse EMR client button, and then GSView

And you'll see this link ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/ghostgum/gsv48w64.exe
appear .. you can right click on it to copy to the clipboard

Remember we are in a public group. You may want to take this private?

No, that's free software

Just chceking.

I announced that on rebolweek in May 2006 :)

I basically wrapped a gui around other peoples' code :)

commented out are links to lib:// ( rebol.org scripts ) and # ( to 
rambo ) as they were not needed for this script.

I'll look at incorporating this.

great

I think there's no need to sort messages

unncessary complexity

spellchecker is a must though :(

Although not ideal, you can always force a spellcheck with:

	...
	button "Submit" [
		request-spellcheck my-area
		...
	]

But check-as-you-go is where it needs to be.

yep

and in a chat screen, you don't normally need to scroll the text 
in the reply area ..

which might make it easier to mark the text that is thought to be 
incorrect.

How do you make a display stay on top without making it modal ?

ie. on top of the parent window

Odd, just noticed that the latest View beta is registering fkeys 
as 'console, 'icmp, 'oracle, etc. Wierd. I vagually recollect someone 
else mentioning this before in another group though.

oracle ??

I haven't see this in the sdk .. but I'm not using the latest sdk.

display/parent (god help anyone else trying to follow this convo 
;) )

Ok.

and to display borderless windows ?

do [insert face/options 'no-title]


or you may want to create the face directly in view with the 'no-border 
option

Ok. I added a /options to display previously ...

display/options "Form" lo [ no-border ]

and this to display

	either dialog [
		spec/type: 'popup
		spec/feel: system/words/face/feel
		show-popup spec
	] [
		;; GC
		either options [
			view/new/options spec opts
		][
			view/new spec
		]
	]

That will replace any options added to spec in prior steps. Better 
to insert them.

ok

Just added fkey handling in 4 lines of code.

svn?

Later today. I'm still merging Lad's spellcheck changes.

Ok.

I've had a search on the internet and can't find the dbase template 
syntax.

I have the Ashton Tate Advanced Programmer's guide which describes 
it, but I'll have to find a scanner and scan the pages in.

Probably better to have the poster's name at the top of the pane, 
instead of the middle vertically.

Ditto for ID and Date?

Yes.

Build 78 uploaded to SVN. Includes the following additions:

1) New chat widget

	chat data ["Bob" none "Comment." yello 1-May-2007/10:00:00

2) New on-fkey handlers

	ctx-rebgui/on-fkey/f3: make function! [face] [...]


3) Soundex spellcheck logic replaced with new algorithm as discussed 
above


4) New, smaller, dictionaries (sans soundex codes) to be uploaded 
within the next few days

5) request-font enhanced (now has multiple refinements)

6) %tour.r updated


Note that the chat widget has a known display problem when it appears 
on a tab or is resized. The fix, adding a 'show in its feel/resize, 
appears to eat other widgets resize events. Not sure if this is a 
REBOL/View bug or not. Anyone who knows of a fix please speak up!

kewl

Ashley, what is yet not merged from my fork / the old rebgui release? 
(I assume this is already the V2 stuff).

chart, 
drop-tree, 
grid & 
input-grid need a bit of work to get 
them working again with Beta 2.

Ok, we take a look at them.
