yes, a probe looks like a data dump here. not like a standard face 
spec.

which includes all the subfaces tree in pane

yes but thjis is looking like much more than only the subfaces / 
panes etc.

well if I can intercept an eventtype, I should also be able to detect 
the face from where these events are coming from or not?

ahhh.. this works -> probe event/face/size

yes the face triggering the event is in event/face... sorry, I thought 
it was obvious  ;-)

I just checked and the resize event is only triggered once within 
the event-func.

/text seems like another identifier. 0is there a unique identifier 
I can set for each face? (e.g. a hidden tag field)

I just checked and it as I remembered it, the event func only receives 
the top-level events for the window.

maxim, yes I think you are so deep in lowlevel view ;-))

so up/down events aren't triggered for subfaces, only the window.


so you can assume that the event/face is ALWAYS the window in which 
the event is being generated, NOT the face is could eventually be 
assigned to.

so at least I can use the /text so make a simple switch identifier...

(that's within the event-func)

ahh...ok. just found /data wihich is user-defined. will use this 
to store a simple windows-indicator there.

you don't have to.   the event/face IS a window... everytime.

the actual window face object.

and if I have more than one windows open?
how can I select the right resize to the right window?

the insert-event-func is global, so mit will fire up also when other 
windows doing messaging or not?

or can't I see the forrest with all these trees :-)))

I'm building a little working example... give me 2 minutes

cool.. that would be great max.

there are MANY ways to do this, and depending on the surrounding 
code you have this may or may not be optimal, but this should give 
you an idea of what is going on.

rebol [
	title: "resizing example"
]


insert-event-func 	[
    switch event/type [
        resize      	[
			if in event/face 'on-resize [
				event/face/on-resize
			]
		]
		down 		[
			; always a window title, even if clicking on a button.
			probe event/face/text
		]  
    ]
    event
]


view/new/options layout [button "nope"] 'resize

win: layout [
	button "ok"
]

win: make win [
	on-resize: func [
		/local subface
	][
		; window size is already set at this point.
		subface: pane/1
		subface/offset: (size / 2) - (subface/size / 2)
		show self
	]
	offset/x: 200

hey max cool, you are lighning fast! 

muchas gracias...!!

I have a weird question, decode-url function uses parse-url function. 
But there is no parse-url at all?? even if I copy & paste decode-url 
function and create another function it gives error "** Script Error: 
parse-url has no value". any idea?

I use R2.7.7

Endo, decode-url uses parse-url from a different context. That's 
why you can't see the parse-url function.

context [
	invisible-func: does [print "moo"]

 set 'my-func does [invisible-func] ; this is how decode-url was written
]

>> my-func
moo
>> invisible-func
** Script Error: invisible-func has no value
** Where: forever
** Near: invisible-func

Ohh. I see. Thanks a lot.

I can't remember where parse-url is, though. Possibly somewhere inside 
the system object.

any simple way to get the source of parse-url? or other hidden functions?

print mold get first second :my-func

Thanks, this works for parse-url (it is not the first word in function)
print mold get probe first fourth second :decode-url

yes, it will help you see the source, although it won't help you 
find where it is. if source is all you need, then that's good.

yes right.

oh god, there is url-rules block in parse-url function which is also 
hidden :) I think I should write a function to get the source of 
a word! inside the context of the word.

but it is difficult to make it deep.

where it is: print mold bind? first second :my-func

where it is: print mold bind? first second :my-func

great. thanks.

And for this case you can look in net-utils/URL-parser.

guys.... why not try the function called.... source  :-)

source decode-url

Maybe because that is not what was needed?

ok seems I missed a detail in reading the thread.

Should letters be gobs?

What do you mean by "letter" ?

a letter on the screen. Should it be accessible as a gob? Having 
a size, offset, color, etc...

It's probably a stupid idea, but I remember that gobs were intended 
to be used in the thousands on the screen for games and the like.

that depends on what you need it for. in principle you can treat 
a single letter as a gob, by having one char in the text body.

that's true

You mean rendered text characters.

I don't think it's a stupid idea.
