World: r3wp

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?

Yes and yes.

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?

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.

Try request-edit instead.

** Access Error: Cannot open /C/Rebol/rebgui/icons/16x16/actions/document-new.png
** Where: load-icon
** Near: icon: load file

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

yes

Different dir?

http://screencast.com/t/BEp7A32PY7

Yes.

the icons are loaded each time from disk?

Ah.. no icon at top left.

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).

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.

Hi Ashley, i would like ask you, are you thinking about auto-scroll 
in widget AREA, because of  i can not select text bigger than area 
size.  Cool example in VID has Didier Cadieu, see http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=area-scroll-style.r&sid=ptn126rv

I made small CMS using Rebgui, so sometime i lack this feature :-)

I think it is importent feature in some apps processing text (medical 
notes, cms, blogs etc..)

Many times users use  "copy-paste"  method to carry large text:-)

Ashley - request-edit from RebDOC looks nice, it even scrolls, but 
it somehow misbehaves on my system. 

1) The Window could be smaller - does not even fit my 1280x800

2) When I try to resize it from the top, the window jumps around 
100pixels below

3) editing - only typing works ... e.g. hilighting by mouse does 
not work (strange, as it works for fields)
4) scroller misbehaves too ....

hmm, after RebDOC restart, hilighting works, but resizing still behaves 
strangely ...
