[modal windows] [inform]
[1/4] from: maximo:meteorstudios at: 24-Mar-2004 11:59
sorry for being lazy.
what is the best way to open modal windows in view (windows which block events to other
windows, like requesters and alerts).
are there alternatives to using inform... IIRC it was quite buggy, and was prone to crash
rebol...
Since I'm building a shared tool, I just don't want a weak link to be included in the
source, if its curable before release!
TIA!

You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being
part of the problem is much more fun.

IIRC Inform is the only option ATM, but I have a few ideas for a truly modal
system I just haven't had time to test them yet...
HTH!!

Inform has no bugs. It is the low-level handling of events (wake-event
function) which is buggy.
Use my patch on my site (and also on 1.3 page), it works well for me.
