[REBOL] Re: VID: clear-fields - how to improve it
From: brett:codeconscious at: 28-Mar-2003 13:46
My first thought (haven't tried it) is that the functionality could be
either part of the feel object or part of the style object. I would probably
lean to it being a part of the style/face object (just like INIT) as a block
that can be bound and evaluated by the clear-fields function at a later
time. So the clear-fields function is modified to just evaluate the
face/clear-fields block with some of the existing code in the function being
moved to the face/clear-fields block.
In this way it allows the functionality to be specified in a consistent way
with the rest of VID and allows for future custom styles. I wouldn't be
suprised if this approach could be generalised for other uses
(validate-fields?).

Brett.
