Building a GUI Forms Designer

Hi there, currently I am in the process of building a GUI Forms Designer and all is progressing nicely with the exception of a few objects that either don't create properly with make-face, or once created refuse to respond to feel/engage events. Below is a portion of the code which activates depending on the object the user wishes to create: make-this: func ['obj] [ append work-form/pane v: make-face obj v/offset: 200x200 ;current generic spawn point if none? v/color [v/color: white] v/feel: make v/feel [ engage: func [face action event][ if action = 'down [ start: event/offset remove find face/parent-face/pane face append face/parent-face/pane face ] if find [over away] action [ face/offset: face/offset + event/offset - start show face ]]] show v show work-form ] Calling format is: make-this <object type> This creates an object with origin 200x200 in the current work-form (a subface of the main window pane) and enables drag and z-order events for the object. Objects that create properly and are fully interactive: Field, Area, Button, Image, Choice, Toggle, Check, Radio, Box, Progress, Slider, Arrow, LED Creates, but no engage events: Text-List. Doesn't create with make-face: Label, Text, Anim, Icon, List, Rotary, List, Panel Not tested: all other objects. Any suggections for working with the text-list events and suggestions on more detailed help on make-face would be appreciated :)

Text-lists are a little hard to control. When you click on a field, it is used this function in the text-list (t): t/iter/feel/engage: func[f a e][ if a = 'down [ if cnt > length? head lines [exit] if not e/control [f/state: cnt clear picked] alter picked f/text do :act slf f/text ] if a = 'up [f/state: none] show pane ] where f should be the face of the single iterated row slf is the text-list face and act is a copy of the action created by VID. slf and act are fields of the text-list face. The textlist face has a panel in its pane and in the panel there is the slider and a box (t/sub-area) whose pane is a function (t/text-pane) which dinamically creates the face of the rows (t/iter) I think you should try: t: make-face 'text-list t/act: func[face value][print "called"] --- Ciao Romano
