[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. Mike Yaunish [mike--yaunish--home--com]
