For real work I suggest you to go directly at the RebGUI entry below to see what it can offer to you Launch REBOL/View in console mode and enter the following 2 lines of code. do http://www.dobeash.com/RebGUI/get-rebgui.r do view-root/public/www.dobeash.com/RebGUI/tour.r Other reference sources about RebGUI can be found at the end of this post. The above extract come from these sources. I simply wanted to begin by what I found to be the most useful to you ... For your general information about VID may be these other scripts can be useful to you too. ================================================================== A layout mini-editor from Carl S.: http://www.mail-archive.com/list-rebol.com/msg07771.html A script demo for getting a dual columns layout using across : http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=dual-col.r&sid=kd85hy Different ways to get a layout (Static or dynamic) : http://onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/10/30/rebol.html The other information I found for you is from the official Library serach engine found here : http://www.rebol.org/search.r Trying to get some info from "Carl layout editor" got me these results below : REBOL/Layoutlayout.r<http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=layout.r&sid=ppfb454gz> v:0.1.7 35.7 KB 13 Mar 2003Visual Layout Editor author: Carl SassenrathGraphical Layout Editorlayed.r<http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=layed.r&sid=ppfb454gz> v:1.0.1 1.6 KB 13 Mar 2003Your basic 1K REBOL graphical object layout editor.

If you've not tried it yet, you should. RebGUI takes many of the best concepts of VID (the visual interface dialect) and provides a useful, smart, clean way to quickly build graphical user interfaces in REBOL. To see a quick tour of RebGUI click on it in the Demos folder of the REBOL Viewtop or type this URL into your REBOL/View GoTo box (or just DO it in the console): http://www.rebol.com/rebgui-demo.r The above script simply does this: do http://www.dobeash.com/RebGUI/get-rebgui.r do view-root/public/www.dobeash.com/RebGUI/tour.r I should mettion that Ashley and his team at Dobeash Software have done a nice job documenting RebGUI. Here's the main page where you can get started: \in RebGUI Home Page /in For me, RebGUI is exactly the kind of thing I've wanted to see done in REBOL. Remember, VID was/is a prototype. Back in 2001 I expected VID to be replaced with something better in less than a year. VID had some unique and cool ideas (e.g. dialected interface specification, datatyped property dispatch, extensible), but also more than a few quirks and loose ends. Some of you have asked, "Is it ok to use RebGUI for my REBOL applications?" I say yes! Use what works best for your needs and requirements. For many types of applications, I think RebGUI is a good choice. *More here:* http://www.rebol.net/article/0280.html Even if I don't really program much using REBOL or anything else for now I try to keep myself well informed ... for what value it can really have! ======================================================================================================= Regards, Gerard
