AnaMonitor object/block monitor released

 [1/16] from: greggirwin:mindspring at: 7-Nov-2001 11:01


Hi Romano, << I have not that problem (W98) ! Any ideas? >> Hmmm. I'm running the same version of View that you are, under Win2K. I haven't looked at your code. What are you doing to display the items? Maybe that's the difference...though Anton saw it too... --Gregg

I am also running on Win2K, I just double-clicked it. ;-) I have no problem browsing it. HTH! Ammon PS Sorry if that last email went through I punched the send button to soon.

Hi Ammon, << I am also running on Win2K, I just double-clicked it. ;-) I have no problem browsing it. >> Wierd. It locks up tight here. --Gregg

I try it again now and it seems to work. Weird. I'm using same Rebol/View as you (the latest), under NT4. I modified the resize-ly function, near the bottom, to get (in my opinion) better behaviour when resizing the window. The affected line: view/new/options/offset/title ly [resize] lyold/offset header/title Using the old offset instead of grabbing from the prefs. I don't know if you intend to save to the prefs when resizing, though. :) I want to figure out how to save prefs into the same source file. Maybe it can go into the header? Anyone have any ideas on this? Then we can write a nice document: "How to load/save prefs". Anton.

Are you having difficulty examining your object manually, or do you just want to discover the trouble in AnaMonitor? Can you show us the code which produces this troublesome object? Anton.

I had made the same correction in my last version... Soon on my site, with others bells and whistles.
> I want to figure out how to save prefs into the > same source file.
I do not like it, because at every new version arise some little problems. But without doubt can be made.
> Maybe it can go into the header?
I no more use the header to store info. Because of the nature of anamonitor (a debuggung tool) i think is better to leave the header to the main program (i cloned my own header at the start, but is not always get a valid result: for example if you directly include anamonitor code in your working program).

Parse could help to store prefs in a given object in the source file.

Hi Anton, << Are you having difficulty examining your object manually, or do you just want to discover the trouble in AnaMonitor? >> I've got a browser, simliar to AnaMonitor, that I'm working on. I think I found the problem, at least one part of it. If you try to probe or mold it, it runs forever (or at least a very long time) and seems to have a reference back to the View object. I'll keep digging. Thanks! --Gregg

I've created my new reb site: Romano http://web.tiscali.it/anarkick/index.r You can find in it AnaMonitor a visual object/block monitor (Media you should find it useful). http://web.tiscali.it/anarkick/anamonitor.r Thank for bug report (if some!). --- Ciao Romano

Hi, great work! The only thing I'm missing is horizontal scrolling for long entries... Can it be called from my own scipts like a "debugger" to browse all the objects/blocks ? Robert

 [11/16] from: media:quazart at: 5-Nov-2001 10:09


The way I see it, if you look at the very end of the code, you'll see he calls anamonitor on the system object... so you just supply your own object here instead :-) you must also load the code before and perform a do on it or else it won't be properly initialized... as in : do load %/your/path/to/anamonitor.r anamonitor yourObject2Scan I have integrated it in GLASS directly as a debug feature... pressing a key combination, opens anamonitor with the current window's pointer inside it... most usefull for debugging the current window's attributes :-) Thanks again Romano! -MAx

Thank you. You should see all (?) the entries clicking on it (or return or space). You can call it from your program, but you can call it only once (no multiply instances, the change to get this feature is simple, but the program should eat more memory). pay attention: Monitor takes a lit-word as arg, so you can't do: monitor first face/pane but you must: x: first face/pane monitor x or monitor face/pane/1 There is a new version on my site, with "sort by name/type", "hide unset words" and minor bugs corrected.

I couldn't resist browsing to system/view/screen-face/pane oh oh... Otherwise, excellent work. ;) This will be very useful. Now I don't have to write it. :D This is the sort of tool you need if you want to examine VID faces, which is what you need to do if you want to write a tool like AnaMonitor... Regards, Anton.

Hi Anton, << I couldn't resist browsing to system/view/screen-face/pane oh oh...>> I hit the same issue with something I'm working on. Any ideas? Right now I'm just ignoring it. It appears to be a block containing 1 object but trying to get any info out of that object fails. --Gregg

I have not that problem (W98) ! Any ideas? --- Ciao Romano

Hi, Anton
> I couldn't resist browsing to > system/view/screen-face/pane > oh oh...
I've no problem on it. I can see AnaMonitor Face by AnaMonitor itself (if it this you say) without any problem. I'm using REBOL/View 1.2.1.3.1 21-Jun-2001 under W98. What happens to you?
> This is the sort of tool you need > if you want to examine VID faces, > which is what you need to do if you > want to write a tool like AnaMonitor...
Exactly the thing i did. I write it to learning vid/view... Meta-circular semantic? :-) --- Ciao Romano
