[ALLY] Strange reaction in Rebol/View 1 for Linux

 [1/7] from: etienne::alaurent::free::fr at: 18-Feb-2001 4:53


Hi, I found a strange reaction in Rebol/View 1 for Linux : The goal of the next script is to change the text of a text widget. ------------------------------------------------- REBOL [] interrogation: func [titre [string!] txt-interro [string!] /local pass-l ok][ if none? :pass-l [ pass-l: layout[ origin 10x10 backdrop effect [gradient -1x-1 50.80.120 70.130.180] across title red :titre bold return text 240 :txt-interro bold yellow return button "YES" [hide-popup] button "NO" [ok: no hide-popup] ] ] ok: yes inform pass-l return ok ] panneau2: func [][ out: layout [ origin 10x10 backdrop effect [gradient -1x-1 50.80.120 70.130.180] across t: text 100x25 "Example" return button "test" [ either interrogation "The test" "Do you want test it ?" [ t/text: copy "Test ok" ][ t/text: copy "Test not ok" ] show t ] ] inform out ] panneau: layout [ origin 10x10 backdrop effect [gradient -1x-1 50.80.120 70.130.180] button "Go" [panneau2] button "Quit" [quit] ] view panneau ------------------------------------------------- In the previous version of Rebol/View (beta), it's seems to be ok. But in the new version (Rebol/View 1), I can't change the text. Why ? Cheers Etienne

I've run into a few of these types of things, also. The freezing of the interpreter puzzles me, because I don't recall that happening in the Beta version. I know some of the representation has changed and will take time to learn, but it is frustrating all the same, especially when I don't know exactly what to look at first. I guess I played a little too seriously with the beta! (one project was about 1100 lines) Best of luck. --Scott Jones

Hi, Thank you, it does indeed work. But, I'm developping an app with win95 skin (from dockimbel) and the dropdown widget (from Allen Kamp). I use the dropdown widget under a tabpanel. When I select an dropdown option, I want to update some other widgets like check, box, ... It's works fine for few times, and, after, I can't do anything. All widgets and widows are freezed. The only thing I can do is to shutdown the app. So, I don't understand why (all this worked very well with the Rebol/View beta version on Linux box). And I spend much, much, much time to know where is the problem, and I can't (now) solve it. Cheers Etienne

Hi, Scott I understand what you want to say. Like you, I played too seriously with the beta : my project is about 3000 lines with multi-windowing, and 3 scripts running concurrently (server, clients, proxy). And my frustration is huge !!! but "LA FORCE EST EN MOI !!!" See you soon Cheers Etienne

Hi, Allen, That's ok, I will send you a copy in your private e-mail. I'm must say I am a novice in Rebol/View (I have been practicing since 3 months). Cheers Etienne

Your problem is that you are calling INFORM from within another INFORM. This is not such a safe thing to do. If you just change "inform out" to "view/new out" it works fine except that the second pane is not modal. You might also get around the problem by doing a hide-popup before doing "interrogation" and then re-popping the "out" layout when the interrogation popup exits. This would make only one popup on the screen at a time. Bottom line: don't make a modal dialog pop up a modal dialog... it's probably not the most logical concept. Sterling

Can you send me a copy to test please, it is possible that either Doc or I are treading on each others global toes or the version of Doc's code you are using hasn't been updated for the changes in do-events. Cheers, Allen K
