Rebol/Command scope

 [1/6] from: jschuhr::hotmail::com at: 26-Oct-2000 21:45


I know that /Command includes /Core but I haven't seen any mention of /View functionality? Is that part of /Command or is there another implementation in the works for platform-dependent /View? What I'm getting at really is this: Is the /Command runtime useable for distributing /View scripts or can it only encapsulate /Core? --John +-------------------- John Schuhr [jschuhr--hotmail--com] +--------------------___________________________________________________________ Get more from your time online.

John, REBOL/Command Runtime does NOT have a graphical component, so it would not be useful for distributing /View scripts. However, a method to distribute /View scripts should be on the horizon. -Bo On 26-Oct-2000/21:45:27-5:00, [jschuhr--hotmail--com] wrote:

How, then, would you write a script that used features of View (like GUI stuff) and also used features of COMMAND (ODBC, etc)? I, and others have asked this question before, but I have yet to get an answer on this. Thanks. On Fri, 27 Oct 2000, you wrote:

Jamey - you are right the question was asked here already. I asked it already some half a year ago. REBOL doesn't support dynamic components yet, so even if /View is just component to /Core, it can't be loaded into /Command. The good sign is - RT can value dynamic components. The problem is RT has other things to do nowadays, so we have to be a little bit more patient, althogh many of us can already imagine some cool usage of /Command and /View.... Btw: you still can connect the two thru TCP/IP, although it's not elegant solution ... Cheers, -pekr-

Take heart! Command with View capabilities will be available in one form or another. Until then, you can run two REBOL sessions and have them talk to each other to give the appearance of a single application. Command can launch View for you automatically and set up the communication mechanism between the two scripts. -Bo On 27-Oct-2000/13:10:20-4:00, [cribbsj--oakwood--org] wrote:

Thanks for the answer, Bo. So, if your saying that I, for example, could write a script(s) with a GUI front-end and having the ability to run system commands and read a database via ODBC (or similar) by using Command as the initiating interpreter and have it call View when needed, that sounds ok. To me, Command with View capabilities is the long term answer. This would give me the ability to develop cross-platform GUI apps and not be limited to VB or Delphi on the M$ side only. Again, thanks for the info. On Fri, 27 Oct 2000, you wrote:
