Newbie stuck again...

Hi list ~ first of all thanks to everyone who helped last time. As you can see below, I have been tinkering there with one of the three snippets offered and while the original snippey worked, it does not work in my context - it starts printing messages after I quit... Any ideas? Thanks again, Kai REBOL [] do-scan?: no ; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- do_services: does [ do-scan?: yes print "performing services" ] ; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- do_cancel: does [ do-scan?: no print "services canceled" ] ; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- main_window: layout [ toggle_start: toggle 60 "Start" "Stop" mint #"^s" [ face/color: pick reduce [ sienna mint ] face/data show face do-scan?: pick reduce [ no yes ] face/data ] ] ; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- main_window/feel: make main_window/feel [ detect: func[face event] [ if event/type = 'close [ do-scan?: no quit ] event ] ] ; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- unview/all view center-face main_window forever [ wait 5 either do-scan?

Re: Newbie stuck again... Simple and usual error : you use "view" instead of "view/new". As you can see by yourself with "source view" (read carrefully, there is a trap), "View" use the "do-events" function that is the same as "wait []". So it's "View" that do the wait. The program continue just when you close the window and do your wait. Use "View/new" to not doing the "do-events" and continue the execution. So use : ; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- unview/all view/NEW center-face main_window forever [ wait 5 either do-scan? [ do_services ] [ do_cancel ] ] DideC
