Hi Ashley,
You need to clear the data block and then append to it. That way
you're still working with the same block, whereas you're creating a
new block with your above method which is why it won't update. ie...
view layout [
a: area form read %. 'wrap
button "Area" [a/text: read %.. show a]
b: text-list data read %.
button "List" [clear b/data append b/data read %.. show b]
]
You could use the same method with the area text as well - it's just
that for some reason it's not required. (Ask others:)
HTH.
