[REBOL] VID: layout problem
From: robert:muench:robertmuench at: 17-Oct-2002 17:38
Hi, I need some VID guru help for the following problem/questions:
1. As I understand VID
field-layout: [
lab "surname" surname: fld return
lab "lastname" lastname: fld return
...
]
Executing <layout field-layout> anywhere in my script will create two
global words 'surname and 'lastname referencing field objects. Is this
right?
2. My problem is that I dynamically create a block like field-layout in
a function and execute the layout command in this function too. I'm
using code like
repend field-layout [to-set-path field 'fld 'return]
To get the variables into the block. I'm using to-set-path and not
to-set-word because field can be a path too.
That's the result I get:
** Script Error: surname has no value
** Where: do-facets
** Near:
surname:
Hmm... Of course has 'surname no value. I expect the layout function to
assign a value to it and add it to the global context.
If I change to-set-path to-set-word everything works fine. Is there
anything I'm missing? Robert
