[ALLY] Difference between view and inform

From: mike::yaunish::home::com at: 23-Jun-2001 23:05

Working on getting this simple requester to work properly.
Something changed in Version 1.1 that I missed I guess.

Given:

simple-requester: layout [
     across
     f: field
     button "pick file" [
         print "before request-file"
         b: request-file
         print "after request-file"
         f/text: copy b
         show f  ]
]

Then I do the following:

1. >> view simple-request
2. Click on the "pick file" button
3. "before request-file" prints out.
4. Then I select a file from the file requester.
5. "after request-file" print out.
6. And the "f" field updates with whatever I picked in the file requester.

But if I do this:

1. >> inform simple-request
2. Click on the "pick file" button
3. "before request-file" prints out
4. Then nothing happens ?? step 5 and 6 are deferred until I close the
pick file
 window.

What do I need to do to get a modal dialog to work properly? I believe this
behaviour
has changed from the previous versions I was experimenting with.
