[REBOL] Re: Problem updating a pane before being displayed

From: jvargas:whywire at: 6-May-2003 10:28

The problem happens only when displaying for the first time.  When
displaying layout "l1" with pane "one" the vlbl2 and vfld2 faces should
be hidden. I only get vlbl2 hidden and vfld2 showing. This behavior is
corrected once a refresh event is generated ie. by playing with vmenu.

Any how I found a solution, but I am not sure if this is the best way
to solve it. Instead of:

update-one: does [
     either equal? vmenu/text "opt1" [
         vlbl1/text: "lbl1"
         vfld1/text: "text for fld1"
         hide [vlbl2 vfld2]
         show [vlbl1 vfld1]
     ][
         vlbl2/text: "lbl2"
         vfld2/text: "text for fld2"
        hide [vlbl1 vfld1]
        show [vlbl2 vfld2]
     ]
]

I am using

update-one: does [
      either equal? vmenu/text "opt1" [
         vlbl1/text: "lbl1"
         vfld1/text: "text for fld1"
         vlbl2/show?: false
         vfld2/show?: false
         vlbl1/show?: true
         vfld1/show?: true
     ][
         vlbl2/text: "lbl2"
         vfld2/text: "text for fld2"
         vlbl2/show?: true
         vfld2/show?: true
         vlbl1/show?: false
         vfld1/show?: false
     ]
]

The latter one works all the time even when displaying l1 for the first
time.
Is there a bug with the show and hide functions?

Thanks,

Jaime

PS. I am using REBOL/View 1.2.8.3.1
