the prompt doesn't wrap currently ...
I'd just want an after 1 layout I think

What build# are you running?

I tried your latest
as for the table scrolling ... yes, it is fast.
Did you change the table routines recently?
In my app, I have 24 rows, and there is a definite lag belween the 
scroller and what I see on screen.
ie. the scroller lags behind the mouse as it drags it up and down.

The underlying face-iterator hasn't changed much, but the slider 
code was totally rewritten ... so it *might* have been the slider 
widget?

I'm using the table from prior to the big color changes
Going to try the older rebgui....
Wow .. huge differences
Even with only 50 items there is a noticeable lag with the older 
table.

The rewrite was worth it then ;)

Yes .. definitely .. although I can't use it without breaking my 
application
Did you always use iterated faces for the table?
Could it just be the scroller?
Ashley

[8428]
Yes and yes.
Graham

Ok.

And before you ask, back-porting just the scroller is not viable.

I erased that response I was about to make!

Back to your request-value prompt wrap issue ... I just tried it 
under WinXP with build#212 and I get 3 wrapped lines of text. Does 
your requestor have a big blue question mark icon in the top-left 
corner?
Graham

Yes

Are you on WinXP, Vista or Win7?

Looks like the scroller issue goes back a while .. I tested the version 
where you had the color changes and that is also fast.
Windows 7 RC1
let me check the source ..
Yes, it is request-value
But you must have just changed it ... as it now wraps
let me show you the older version
Ahhh.. can't use 'editor anymore.
Ashley

Try request-edit instead.

Does tour.r work for you (it needs the same icons)?
Graham

[8445]
yes

Different dir?

Yes.
the icons are loaded each time from disk?
Ah.. no icon at top left.
Ashley

Yes, I probably need to inline them (in %rebgui-images.r).

That rebgui was just one build earlier ...
My main screen was ViD based as it used a toggle widget .. and then 
the rest was rebgui
So, the improved scroller code was from quite a while ago.
Loading off disk is bad!

All that for a toggle, you should have said something earlier! ;) 
BTW, the screencast shows a build#1nn widget (pre-gradient buttons).
Graham

It was written a few years ago and just recently revamped

Bottom line is the current request-value works the way you requested/expected?

And when I tried to port it to the latest build .. then I discovered 
vid/rebgui were no longer bed mates
Yes, latest is okay.
