Hi Yvan,
I forgot to explain why "VIEW in a VIEW" doesn't work.
It's not simple to explain, however...
Consider the following code:
view layout [button "open" [print 1 view layout [field] print 2]]
This is what happens:
1) VIEW
- opens the main window
- DO-EVENTS (WAITs for events)
2) User presses "open" button
- print 1
- VIEW
- opens window-2
- VIEW does not call DO-EVENTS again, because there was an existing
window.
- VIEW returns immediately
- print 2
3) Events are still being WAITed on. This will stop only when the window is
closed.
This "VIEW inside a VIEW" confuses lots of beginners. Maybe we can redesign
it?
Regards,
Anton.
