stylize
[1/9] from: ammoncooke:ya:hoo at: 1-Sep-2001 1:22
hi,
having trouble getting styles to work, it must be a simple problem. Here's my code:
mn-stl: stylize [mn-tm: text white bold return]
proj: layout/offset [
styles mn-stl
mn-tm "New" [nw-proj]
mn-tm "Load" [ld-proj]
mn-tm "Save" [sv-proj]
]0x0
; this code returns:
** Script Error: mn-stl needs a value
** Where: do-boot
** Near: mn-stl: stylize [mn-tm: text white bold return]
proj: layout/offset
>>
Why? My guess is, "because Carl forgot to add the most important function of all:
>>? user-freindly
USAGE:
USER-FREINDLY user /strong
DESCRIPTION:
Causes REBOL to be friendly to user
ARGUMENTS:
user -- Current user
Refinements:
/strong -- Very forgiving of code errors
Just a guess" ;D

seemed to be 'return'. I thought that return was to 'return' the next style
(i.e. newline)? Guess not, just looked it up in the console. I still think
Carl forgot to add the most important feature. ;D
Thanks!!

PS I sure enjoy talking to myself on the list, it makes me feel important.

''''''
Remove the 'return and it will work.

Hi Ammon,
The problem with your little snippet of code is the
placement of 'return'. Evidently 'return' can only be
used in the layout. This is as it should be. Stylize
is for defining the styles of buttons, text, and etc,
but has nothing to do about their placement. The
placement of these are left to the layout. For your
code to work, just move 'return'. Below is my code,
which works:
REBOL [ Title: "Test" ]
mn-stl: stylize [mn-tm: text white bold ]
proj: layout/offset [
styles mn-stl
mn-tm "New" [nw-proj] return
mn-tm "Load" [ld-proj] return
mn-tm "Save" [sv-proj] return
]0x0
view proj

thanks!! I simply tried 'return' cause a saw one of Carl's scripts using
'right', makes sense then for 'return' to be supported in styles, but
alas...
Enjoy!!

Hey, Anton, as I can't see any smiley here, I would like to ask you being
more tolerant ;-) There is nothing bad if someone becomes enthusiastic about
something. Don't demotivate ppl, please :-)
As for me, I can see RT more wasting our (and their too - answering
redundant bug reports) time without existence of shared bug system, than
someone asking some questions here :-)
Thanks,

Hi Anton,
PMJI, but I'm a REBOL neophyte and I learn something from almost every
message that I read. I know you real REBOLs may not, but this thread is a
good example. If Ammon hadn't posted, I wouldn't have learned that you can't
use 'return' in stylize. I'm sure I'll be posting a lot of messages and then
finding the answer to my question 5 minutes after I send them. That's just
how it is sometimes. I hope people will realize that I'm not trying to waste
anyone's time, I'm just learning.

My point exactly, you see by typing the code into the email, sending it,
forgeting about it, watching it come up & reading it I realized what was
wrong. I sure hope this hasn't caused anyone serious trouble.
MHA
