it is imo not question of particular GUI system, but the question 
of widgets available. That is why I also wanted split-screen, resizable. 
But - those issues are not RebGUI related, so we are most probably 
chatting in wrong group ...

Instead of ... unview/only face/parent-face/parent-face ... why not 

unview/ony find-window face

?

Ashley hasn't been on line here since xmas eve ... is he on a rather 
extended holiday??

Graham - do you change button colors? E.g. if I set button blue in 
dialect, I actually get 3 color - normal state, over state, pressed 
state. But those colors are like color wheel - totally unrelated 
:-) I wonder if color related code reflects changed button color?

I do change button colors ... but I haven't noticed anything odd

display "test" [button blue "Hello"] do-events

button is blue. But with over effect, going to green (default?), 
and with press, going pink :-)

not for me

what version are  you using?

Oh ... latest version huh?  I'm not using that one.

Of course using find-window is not as efficient.

version 118

go back to earlier version

I have report from bobik, that 117 is even worse in that regard ...

Try 116 then .. or whereever it was before Ashley used the new color 
scheme.

We have arrow key navigation of tables.  How can we get the enter 
key to do the action?

Hmm.  Perhaps the latest build does do this.

Anyone using the RebGUI tree widget?  I'd like to use it ... but 
I don't see a way to have a hidden field that could be used to retrieve 
a db record

Pekr/Graham (re group-box resize overlap convo from 13-Jan) ... it's 
a limitation not a bug. The #H and #W directives assume they are 
by themselves in a given row/column.


Instead of ... unview/only face/parent-face/parent-face ... why not 
unview/ony find-window face
 ... performance over coding efficiency.

 ... the GFC has forced me to allocate considerable resources elsewhere, 
 but I'm back for the time being.

 ... the over (theme light) and press (state light) colors are global. 
 118 fixes the problem whereby these states lost your original color 
 override.

 ... add 'table to behaviors/action-on-enter

thanks ...

Ashley, you're alive!!

Any ideas on enhancing the tree widget to have a hidden field we 
can use to access db records?

ie. a db key

Example usage?

forinstance .. in a table, i usually have a hidden field size .001 
so it won't display

i can then update that row based upon that db key.

options [ "key" left .001 ..... ]

that could be a 30 char long uuid and it won't show

Something like:


 tree data ["Pets" ID-10  ["Cat" ID-11 "Dog" ID-12]] options [value]

which returns the value instead of the display string?

returns both?

but only one is displayed in the tree

Both is good. That's a fairly simple change to tree.r ... if I find 
some time over the week I'll do it.

thanks

This is an odd one


display/dialog "test" [ edit-list "1" data [1 2 3]  return text "some 
space"] do-events

click on the edit-list, and tab out .. the window disappears

Doesn't happen with drop-list, and doesn't happen with display/parent

There's another thing with edit-list.  Unlike a drop-list, you can 
tab into it, and use the down arrow to cause the list to drop, but 
you can't use the keyboard to select a value.  You have to switch 
to using the mouse.

Any chance of navigating the tree with the cursor keys?

And selecting a particular leaf programmatically?

Tracked down the edit-list tab problem ... it's the on-unfocus handler 
it inherits from drop-list that is causing the problem. Need some 
way of conditionally wrapping the hide-popup so it only does it if 
the edit-list is actually active.

Other issues are noted.

Thanks.

Ashley, one question. As you have created the best GUI solution for 
REBOL2 I ask to myself why your still not involved in REBOL3 GUI. 
Are you waiting the final VID version to port your great experience 
in this area ?

hum logically because R3 is not official and completed so stabilised 
etc...

if you do a hudge work to have to redo it from scratch next week 
that's not fun

REBGUI 117 whaoooo version  the looks really really pro and mature 
project congratulation Ashley

how can i add a custom rebface to rebGUI  to make it dynamical know 
the existance of my custom rebface

ok i found the documentation on deboash.com  ^^

documentation is not reflecting actual rebGUI structure T___T (reb-widget.r 
is old)

just reporting this error ... no expectations

make object! [
   code: 300
   type: 'script
   id: 'no-value
   arg1: 'event
   arg2: none
   arg3: none
   near: [case [
           event/double-click [face/action/on-dbl-click face]
           act = 'up [face/action/on-click face]
           act = 'alt-up [face/action/on-alt-click face]

           act = 'key [face/action/on-key face event face/action/on-edit face]

           act = 'scroll-line [face/action/on-scroll face event/offset]

           act = 'scroll-page [face/action/on-scroll/page face event/offset]
       ]]
   where: 'wake-event
]

I'd like a text variant .. eg. a-text for active text which highlites 
on over and returns to its color on away.  I can get the over working 
okay, but the on-away doesn't restore the color.

lol, why do you use CASE here ?
