Beginner's question about VID and layouts

 [1/3] from: rebolmikko::yahoo::com at: 26-Nov-2001 17:52


It seems to take hours of trying for me to get this right, so could someone please help? Why doesn't this work?: ----------------------------- stuff: layout [ text yellow "stuff" ] func1: [ print "func1" ] view/new layout [ the-box: box 400x400 black feel [ engage: func [face action event] [ ;print event/key if event/key = 'a [view stuff] if event/key = 'b [do func1] ] ] ] focus the-box do-events --------------- So I want to just some way to view text, when specific key is pressed - either in existing layout or another, doesn't matter... Every time I try to do basic stuff like this I seem to run into problems. It is a bit difficult (at least for me) to understand what is possible to do and what is not, given the (lack of) current documentation... Cheers, Mikko

Found the error


I found the error: "if event/key = 'a " doesn't work. I thought I already tried it, but I was using 'down , which works. How are the ordinary keys handled? Cheers, Mikko

>> type? 'a
== word!
>> type? #"a"
== char! if event/key = #"a" works fine. Luis
