Hi rebollers, <remainder>When something seems to me not obvious, or difficult to remember, I made a memo of it. From time to time, I rewrite this memo too make a FAQ. I intend to make these FAQ available in a near future. Every new FAQ is first sent to the reboller for remark and validation.</remainder> How to initialize a check-box ? Short answer : With 'with [data: on] Problem illustration : In the following layout, both checks are unchecked, which is the default. Rebol [title: "FAQ"] view center-face layout [ banner "Check-boxes" across check text "check box n° 1" check text "check box n° 2" ] Problem resolution : Rebol [title: "FAQ"] view center-face layout [ banner "Check-boxes" across check with [data: on] text "check box n° 1" check with [data: off] text "check box n° 2" ] Patrick

Hi Rebollers Another FAQ from the time where I was asking myself and the Rebollers "Is Rebol suited for Object Oriented programming ?" and got no response :( <faq> How to pass function as argument? Short answer: Using 'get Problem illustration: An object function must be set to an outside function. obj: make object! [ name: "obj" obj-func: none ] fn1: does [print "Hello Rebollers"] fn2: func [ f [function!] ][ print "My task is to affect obj/obj-func with fn1" obj/obj-func: f ]

>> fn2 fn1

Hi Pat, << Problem resolution Get must be used twice: (1) in the fn2 definition. (2) in the fn2 call. fn2: func [ f [function!] ][ print "My task is to affect obj/obj-func with fn1" obj/obj-func: get 'f ] fn2 get 'fn1 >> You could also use the get-word syntax to avoid evaluation of the function during assignment: fn2: func [ f [function!] ][ print "My task is to affect obj/obj-func with fn1" obj/obj-func: :f ] fn2 :fn1 --Gregg

Thanks Allen As often the more simple the best ! Rebol is so simple sometimes. May be I have a tendancy to complicate things.
