/view example doesn't work
[1/2] from: jelinem1::nationwide::com at: 9-Mar-2001 11:04
The following example from the /view doc doesn't work, or when I try to use
the 'choice button in my script:
view layout [choice "Choose" data ["Happy" "Joyous" "Free"]]
I get the button displayed, but no list of choices. I expect a list of
choices to "pop-up" somehow on its own. Do I have to do something else to
get this?
I am on Windows NT running REBOL/View 0.10.38.3.1 26-Jan-2001.

/View documentation is quite old and out of date for some parts. With /View
version 0.9.9, it works well.
On View 0.10.38, the following line will work :
view layout [size 200x200 choice "Choose" "Happy" "Joyous" "Free"]
It's not exactly the same than with 0.9.9. If you want more info on what
'choice style can do and how it works :
save %choice-style.r get-style 'choice
(You'll get the source of the 'choice style.)
