REBOL [ Title: "Scrolling LIST Example" File: %list-scroll-demo.r Author: "Gregg Irwin" Date: 16-Nov-2004 Purpose: { Shows an example of how to use a LIST style face with an associated scroller. } library: [ level: 'beginner platform: 'all type: [FAQ how-to] domain: [VID] tested-under: [view 1.2.8.3.1 on W2K] support: none license: none see-also: none ] ] main-lst: sld: ; The list and slider faces c-1: ; A face we use for some sizing calculations none ml-cnt: ; Used to track the result list slider value. visible-rows: ; How many result items are visible at one time. 0 ; Generate some random data to put in the list items: make block! 400 repeat i 400 [ append/only items reduce [ i random "ACBD" random 1000 random "AGCT" ] ] lay: layout [ origin 5x5 space 1x0 across style col-hdr text 50 center black mint - 20 col-hdr "C1" col-hdr "C2" col-hdr "C3" col-hdr "C4" return pad -2x0 ; The first block for a LIST specifies the sub-layout of a "row", ; which can be any valid layout, not just a simple "line" of data. ; The SUPPLY block for a list is the code that gets called to display ; data, in this case as the list is scrolled. Here COUNT tells us ; which ~visible~ row data is being requested for. We add that to the ; offset (ML-CNT) set as the slider is moved. INDEX tells us which ; ~face~ in the sub-layout the data is going to. ; COUNT is defined in the list style itself, as a local variable in ; the 'pane function. main-lst: list 207x300 [ across space 1x0 origin 0x0 style cell text 50x20 black mint + 25 center middle c-1: cell cell cell cell ] supply [ count: count + ml-cnt item: pick items count face/text: either item [pick item index][none] ] sld: scroller 16x300 [ ; use SLIDER for older versions of View if ml-cnt <> (val: to-integer value * subtract length? items visible-rows) [ ml-cnt: val show main-lst ] ] ] visible-rows: to integer!

If we don't use REDRAG correctly, the page step size ; will be off as well. i.e. You need to do one or the other. ;sld/page: sld/step * visible-rows view lay quit
