Oh this is just too funny. Found where it's "solved" in VID. %view-vid.r 
and the 'insert-event-func with the following comment:


;	!!! This next line is a hack, because we really need to know what 
face the event

 ;	is directed toward.  We need a way to get that info, but it's not 
 available here.

Anyway, try the following in VID:

	view layout [at 0x0 field at 0x0 btn]

Start typing, click the button, and then continue typing!

So, the conclusion is ?

Borrow the same hack from VID and hope http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/rambo.r?id=3867&
is fixed!

View-face is now gone from display.r

now called 'spec ...

It now reuses the spec word.

Build#90 uploaded to SVN with mouse focus hack borrowed from VID. 
Run this script:

	display "" [

  field on-unfocus [either (length? face/text) > 3 [true] [false]]
		button [print "click"]
		calendar
	]


Click in the field and type a character, then try clicking the button 
or calendar, continue typing and then click the button and calendar 
again.

can't keep up :(

with what?

all these changes!  :)

I'm hoping today's builds fix *all* outstanding focus/caret problems, 
many of which have been around for a long time now. ;) If that's 
the case then I'll do a public build and the pace of changes will 
slow.

I need an automated merge utility!

Anyway, whatever happened to release early, release often!

What do you need to merge, I thought I'd inlined all your changes 
by now?

custom widgets

error trapping in area.r for caret errors

extra ( redundant ) options in 'display

don't mind me .. just carry on :)

is it feasible to allow one to pick a symbol on the fly rather than 
defining in symbol.r ?

%create-distribution.r should make the widget merge pretty easy.

Recent changes hopefully make the %area.r caret error trap redundant 
(if not, I'll add that in with the next build)
What extra refinements do you have for display?

I wasn't clear on how to create borderless windows, so I added an 
options refinement to allow for that.

as in Vid

What do you set your options to?

let me have a look

[no-border]

It's just so i can create a clean screen capture with out the borders

re: symbol. You acn do that easily with:

	symbol "&" font [name: "Wingdings"]
	symbol 20x20 "&" font [name: "Wingdings"]

easy enough then

Isn't no-title what you're after then?

is no-title the same as no-border ?

The following works well enough:

	display "" [
		button [unview]
		do [face/options: [no-title no-border]]
	]

On windows, no-title replaces the windows title-bar and blue 3 pixel 
border with a 1 pixel black border. no-border in conjunction with 
no-title removes the black 1 pixel border. no-border does nothing 
by itself (at least on my WindowsXP box).

Except I was displaying a user's template ...

so, this way I guess I'll have to add to the user's form the do block

before I display it.

not a biggie.

Was there a no-hide refinement in the past ?

Yes, required by the old [rather dysfunctional] modal system.

I need to clean up my old source then!

About the only display refinement that's still specific to dialogs 
is, well, the /dialog!

The /scroll refinement has also gone as on-scroll lets you trap this 
at the widget level now.

I see that I had an alert based upon your old code but allowing for 
much more text ...hence the no-hide

So that leaves good, sensible refinements (I'd calss the ones that 
were dropped as "hacks" to get some other functionality working).

Is there a way I can make it so that escape always closes the current 
window?  Or, do I have to put a widget with escape as the key ?

Build#91 uploaded to SVN with inbuilt ESC handling. The processing 
 logic is:


1) If a widget has focus (e.g. an area or field) let it handle the 
ESC
2) If it's assigned to a widget then do the associated action

3) If a popup (including choose: drop-list, edit-list, menu) is active 
close it

4) Otherwise, treat the ESC as a close event (i.e. invoke close handler, 
check for app exit, etc)

Nice

Any chance of capturing control and shift Function keys?

does Alt work? (for menu)

and I buy a beer to person, who makes ctrl tab, and ctrl shift tab 
working (tab widget) :-)

Also, cursor key to change focus on buttons
