I must have an old version of rebgui .. I aways get none on ctx-rebgui/edit/hilight? 
  and copy-selected-text is not working for me either.

There are at least 3 problems needing fixing in 214 (and 213) version.


When using drop-list or edit-list if one will hit <TAB> button when 
list line is hilighted stack overflow eventuates. One, of course, 
doesn't need to do that, but it may happen.


Slider button, as presented in RebDOC, bombes out for simple reason. 
Formula used is [slider] but minimum required seems to be [slider 
[]] - compulsory action needed.


In RebDOC editor requestor hitting "Open" or "Save" button triggers 
feature-na script error.
Even more serious problem discovered. Maybe only on Linux Mint. Pressing 
<Esc> button simply causes your program to go away. Checked with 
tour.r too.

Esc by default closes the currenlty open window.  However, it should 
not close the main window.
Hmm.. well, that's how I have it setup.

Try this with current version

>>display "t" [box rate 5 button [alert "press ok"]] do-events ;; 
"ok" button of alert blackens but doesn't work
In versions before 200 it works exactly as expected
More discoveries. Set-text by indirect reference doesn't work when 
field is disabled, but still works by direct call.

[p1: panel data [f1: field disable] button [set-text p1/pane/1 "1"] 
button [set-text f1 "2"]]
It did work ok before 200.

Build 215
- fixed editor
- fixed clear-text (check for disable)
- fixed set-text (check for disable)
- fixed set-texts (check for disable)
- ESC no longer auto terminates main display
- added make-dir to request-dir
- replaced request-file with RebGUI version
- updated request-value to trim return value
- fixed slider bug in RebDOC
The "tab out of list" and "rate" bug fixes are still WIP.

Why RebGUI uses request-file non-native requestor? For more GUI consistency?
Cand editor's position/size be set? In RebDOC it is so big that it 
does not fit my notebook screen ....
Graham
11-Sep-2009
[8522]
perhaps because rebgui is no longer compatible with Vid ...
Ashley

Why RebGUI uses request-file non-native requestor?
	- GUI consistency
	- speed
	- functionality
	- native requestor is broken on OS X

Can editor's position/size be set?

 - I can make the default smaller, what's your notebook screen res?

 - I'll probably add a /size refinement as well (I can see how you 
 might need a small or large editor in certain situations)

The smallest screen size in common use on general-purpose computers 
is 1024x600, netbook standard.

There is strange bug introduced in build 208 and still there. I checked 
and 207 seems to be OK.


When tabbing table and edit-list, edit-list becomes not accessible 
when first line of table gets selected. Selecting any other table 
line clears the problem.
I'm on linux Mint. Can anybody confirm my findings?

I'm trying to transfer the domain from Webhero (previously catalog.com) 
to a local (Australian) provider ... Webarama. Maxim, where did you 
see it not active? I don't want an admin mix-up on this one!
Graham
16-Sep-2009
[8530x2]
heh... I tried to fax you Ashley, but the fax failed to go thru. 
 Perhaps all lines of communication are being eroded!
I presume your email is not working either since your domain is not 
resolving.

DNS doesn't resolve to http://www.dobeash.com/

I get:
    Server not found
    Firefox can't find the server at www.dobeash.com.
Ashley

[8534]
Er, this is weird.


I filled in a domain transfer request for Webarama, and because it 
was a .com they asked for an Authorization code from Webhero ... 
which I asked for, obtained and provided. My Webarama domain list 
includes dobeash.com, says its active and due for renewal next year. 
Webhero then said they were going to autobill me for another year 
of hosting etc so I cancelled all my services with them figuring 
that once that occured I'd [eventually] be left with a blank www.dobeash.com 
site which I'd rebuild from backup. That was several days ago.


Any ideas on what I should do? (it's after 5pm here so I can't contact 
Webarama to confirm ownership).
Maxim

[8535x2]
it can take up to 6 days for some DNS servers to refresh...  the 
whois still says catalog.com is the registrar.
I guess the only ones who can answer you for sure are webarama.  
they might have a 24h support mail or phone line.

The comment in the SQLite group, "seems like domain is up for sale?", 
is the worrying one ... or did he actually just mean "the domain 
no longer resolves"?
Graham

Why do melbourne businesses list their numbers like 1300.....
3 is the area code isn't it?
Ashley
16-Sep-2009
[8542]
Land lines are 8 digits with a 2 digit prefix (e.g. 03 for Victoria). 
1800 numbers are toll-free, 1300 numbers are free for local callers. 
13 numbers are the same but guarenteed to be unique nationwide. The 
later 2 are synonyms for a real underlying physical number, but can 
only be called to from within Australia. Clear as mud ... ;)

So, what is your fax number for an overseas person?

Responded privately (fax spamming is a problem for businesses).

>>display/dialog "test" [drop-list data [1 2 3]]   ;; no problems, 
build 215, linux Mint  

>>display/dialog "test" [edit-list data [1 2 3]]   ;; big problem 
here 


When trying to enter text into edit-list widget the window magically 
disappears.

Can anybody confirm, please. Am I doing anyting wrong? Will it ever 
work? Ashley?

Build 216
- resized editor
- added /size refinement to editor
- fixed edit-list
- fixed request-file (returns full path)
UI question. What's the "standard" way to deselect a selected table/text-list 
row. I've seen:

	a) click the selected row (i.e. toggle mode)

 b) click outside the parent widget (i.e. deselect on focus change)
	c) don't allow it (the current RebGUI behavior)


I can see problems with each approach, but c) requires another widget 
(typically a button) to produce the desired behavior.

Thanks Graham for confirming. Thanks Ashley for quick fix of the 
last problem.

Problem I tried to explain before still remains. Lets explain it 
better, if I can.


>>display "test" [table options ["a" left 1.0] data [11 22 33] field 
edit-list data [1 2 3] field] do-events

If one selects first line in table and tries to <TAB> around one 
gets stack on edit-list (drop-list too).

If, on the other hand, one selects any other line of table, edit-list 
gets focus and tabbing continue to work, but only after it reaches 
table again.
I hope it's not too hard to fix. Thanks.

Ashley;  RebDOC feature request.  How hard would it be to add a Keywords 
tab to this uber handy app?  (Second part of the request being a 
please please if it won't take too much of your time)
Graham

a) ... I don't want to deselect as a button may require the row to 
be selected to act on it.

I will try my luck again with this 2 items.


When using edit-list or drop-list, there is a way to crash it. Just 
click on the widget, hilight any line on the list and press <TAB>.

>>display "" [edit-list data [1 2]] do-events ;;-> stack-overflow 
error message pops up.


Table widget has different gap in the last column on the right without 
and with the scroller. It' only cosmetic thing and maybe it is customary 
to be like that.

>> display "" [table options ["a" right 1.0] data [1] table options 
["b" right 1.0] data [2 3 4 5 6]] do-events

Can anyone confirm, please. Ashley?
Is it by design, or it's still not working in build 216.

>> display "" [f1: field disable button [set-text f1 "?"]] do-events

Another stumble block in my slow attempt to write my little program. 

Try to select edit-list and hit enter key.

>> display "" [table options ["a" left 1.0] data [] edit-list []] 
do-events ;-- works as it should

>> display/dialog [table options ["a" left 1.0] data [] edit-list 
[]] ;-- window disappears

It maybe related to the table problem I mentioned before.
I made a little mistake, but it makes no difference.


>>display/dialog "" [table options ["a" left 1.0] data [1 2 3] edit-list 
data []]  ;-- it still disappears, even if first line selected

Problems noted for build#218.

Ashley - why tree-view node icons (arrows) were removed? Or is it 
only in tour.r?

One more test to help with debugging. It works with build 207. It 
stops working with buid 208. At least for me.


>>display "" [field table options ["a" left 1.0] data [1] field] 
do-events


Click on field and try to tab around. You can't even select any field 
any more (208). Using empty table is even worse. With 2 rows at least 
it works, but one may need to grow table gradually.
