[REBOL] passing events between faces
From: james::mustard::co::nz at: 3-Nov-2001 21:03
Not sure how easy this is to do but I'm trying to pass events from one face
to another face below it in such a way that the face below believes it is
the only face.
- ie objects upon that face receive the focus etc as per normal.
Example:
REBOL []
work-form: layout/offset [origin 0x0 space 0x0 button "A" button "B" button
C
button "D"] 0x0
pass-plane: layout/size/offset [] work-form/size 0x0
base-form: layout/size [] work-form/size
pass-plane/color: none
pass-plane/effect: [colorize 255.0.0]
append base-form/pane work-form
append base-form/pane pass-plane
view base-form
What I am trying to get is if I click on the pass-plane over a button then
that button will receive its normal events. The intention here is to extend
this to any object on the underlying face - not just buttons.
I tried setting an engage event for the pass-plane face and using:
work-form/pane/feel/engage work-form action event
but this merely sent the event only to the face below - not to its objects.
