list vs. text-list

I've been trying to get a scrollable list working in View. I'm using List, since it was easier to get the column formatting correct, than in Text-list. Now the problem is I need to make the List vertically scrollable. Is there a way to do this easily? thanks dvdb

Is there a way to do this easily? Sort of easily. :) Below is an example for you. Let me know if it helps, and watch for wrap. -- Gregg REBOL [ Title: "Scrolling LIST Example" File: %list-scroll-demo.r Author: "Gregg Irwin" ] main-lst: sld: t-1: t-2: t-3: t-4: t-5: c-1: none count: ; The index of the current item being fetched for display. ml-cnt: ; Used to track the result list slider value. visible-rows: ; How many result items are visible at one time. 0 items: make block! 400 repeat i 400 [ append/only items reduce [ i random "ACBD" random 1000 random "AGCT" ] ] lay: layout [ origin 5x5 space 1x0 across style col-hdr text 50 center black mint - 20 col-hdr "C1" col-hdr "C2" col-hdr "C3" col-hdr "C4" return pad -2x0 main-lst: list 207x300 [ across space 1x0 origin 0x0 style cell text 50x20 black mint + 25 center middle c-1: cell cell cell cell ] supply [ count: count + ml-cnt item: pick items count face/text: either item [pick item index][none] ] sld: scroller 16x300 [ if ml-cnt <> (val: to-integer value * subtract length? items visible-rows) [ ml-cnt: val show main-lst ] ] ] visible-rows: to integer!

Thanks Gregg

dbc> I'm however getting an error: dbc> Unknown word or style: scroller Oops! The SCROLLER style was introduced with View 1.2.8. You can either get that, or change SCROLLER to SLIDER and then comment out the references to its STEP and PAGE values. Sorry about that. -- Gregg

Thanks Gregg. After some experimenting I came up with the same solution. So in the end you helped me out even more by encouraging me to delve deeper into Rebol/View. rgds dvdb On Wednesday, April 2, 2003, at 06:22 pm, Gregg Irwin wrote:

The earliest version of Rebol/view I have with the scroller style defined is 1.2.5.3.1 Anyway, you need to download a newer beta. We've all been using them and they seem pretty stable. Latest beta is 1.2.8.3.1 I should have also mentioned that in the View a list of data including a checkbox thread. Try here for betas: http://www.reboltech.com/downloads/ Anton.
