Inform
[1/11] from: ptretter:charter at: 10-Nov-2001 17:17
Are their any bugs in inform that I should be aware of? I got a script that does an
inform on a face and which does a request-file function but the function returns none
everytime. However, view/new instead of inform works just fine.

Hi Paul,
Are you using nested dalog boxes??
This causes inform to not work correctly.
Cheers Phil

Hi Paul,
Basically inform is modal and the general rule is you don't open another
window when you have a modal windw open.
Cheers,

the issue in the modal window need to be addressed and the modal
window closed before you do anything else.
or something like _do_not_change_the_subject_

hmmm... is there away to get around closing the other window. For example.
I am doing an inform on a face which has a button which activates a
request-file dialogue (another face) which returns to the previous window
after the file selection is made.

while it is visible, other faces gets no user-input
its shown with 'show-popup, needs to be hidden with 'hide-popup
and more than one at a time confuses rebol.
view a layout, inform another and type in the first:
if it works its a rebol-bug.

I think I found a way around this. I looked at the source for inform and
just decided to do this instead on my 'face:
view/offset face (system/view/screen-face/size - face/size / 2)
Bingo! I got the inform feature I wanted.

Paul,
Did you just need to center a face?
You can center-face for that.
USAGE:
CENTER-FACE obj /with face
DESCRIPTION:
Center a face on screen or relative to another face.
CENTER-FACE is a function value.
ARGUMENTS:
obj -- (Type: object)
REFINEMENTS:
/with -- Center relative to a face.
face -- (Type: object)
Cheers,

Thanks Allen. I actually tried that once and it gave me an error. Now it
is working. I think I just replaced the word 'inform in my script with
'center-face instead of view center-face 'face.

Ok. Back to Inform. Does anyone know why we even need inform when we got
center-face? Is there a purpose here that I don't understand.
