World: r3wp

got rid of a few calculations during scrolling now.

sorting works now. click the button in the upper right corner to 
reset sorting

Can you get multi-line rows ??

probably :-) each row is a layout that can be defined by the user

but the size of a row isn't adapted to the text contents yet

text filtering works now. by entering a string in the field, the 
string will be searched through all values in all columns and only 
display rows with the string in it. currently only searches all columns.

sorting also works after filtering

it suffers one typical problem - at first run, the grid is unsorted 
... once you sort it, you can't "desort" it :-)

click the button in the upper right corner

(should be marked a bit clearer, I know)

There should be at least three states for sort  [ascending, descending 
and unsorted]

Nice! Maybe it would be better to have situation similar to Lotus 
Notes grid? They show thin arrow, if the column is sortable (not 
all are). Then you can sort it up and down and third click deactivates 
sorting. It is kind of natural ...

:-) Jaime was faster :-)

I'll take a look at that

pekr, which kinds of rows can't be sorted?

well, not in our case. But with some older db systems, like xbase 
in DOS, we just had this facility. Not all columns were indexed. 
Sorting non indexed columns was not allowed ...

ok

tristate sorting now available. can be turned off with the TRI-STATE-SORT 
variable.

I will continue tomorrow... bedtime for me

Is there some gotcha with resizing a scroller ?

Scroller/size: newsize show scroller doesn't work.

in vid scrolller/resize new-size ?

oh :)

which reminds me .. is there an updated reference to all the functions 
associated with Vid gadgets, or is it .. read the source time ?

I am to used to the source to look for new documentation.. dont know.

Anyone done a colour wheel/picker ?

IIRC Oldes did something, but don't know. if it's available.

back again.... fixed a bug where resize didn't work during filtering 
and incorrect amount of results when filtering and turning off sorting

graham: it seems the convention is so that when you have a group 
of faces that need to be resized (such as the scroller), you use 
a RESIZE function rather than just a variable.

the filter works on multiple strings and is case insensitive. the 
purpose is to let you very quickly search for things without resorting 
to regular expressions or wildcards, with as few keypunches as possible. 
try entering "shoe" first. then "shoe very". "shoevery" won't produce 
a result

Henrik, that makes sense.

Now, how to change the font size of the font used in an area widget 
?

area/font/size: newsize .. doesn't do it.

view layout [area font-size 20] works here.

yeah .. wasn't working for me.

set-font area '?? 20

no matter .. got it going.

new version 0.0.5 uploaded.

single selecting works now.
standard font made a bit smaller.

selecting requires the use of a new face called LIST-TEXT with a 
FEEL that allows for mouse over and single/double clicking in the 
list.
single-click action is stored as a block in LST-ACT
double-click action is stored as a block in DBL-LST-ACT

Demo can be found at http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/list-view3.r

0.0.6 uploaded... minor bugfix to keep the selected persistent even 
when sorting and filtered.

0.0.7 uploaded...

This one is released under the BSD license.

Changes:
      New: Added /force refinement to UPDATE

      Fix: Fields are rendered now, when filtering with fewer results than 
      the size of the list view.
      New: List now can have an edge of any size.
      New: ALT-LST-ACT action for right click actions.
      New: If HDR-COLS is empty, the header is now not drawn.

is keyboard navigation coming?

viz. moving up/down the list.

I tried it, but there are problems with focusing. Keyboard nav, requires 
focusing on the right face, and when I try that, selecting goes haywire. 
It's the same with mousewheel. Suggestions are welcome.

unsort: please put this on the right-click. Cycling through unsorted 
isn't standard and doens't make sense.

filtering: how about doing it in real-time, while typing.

real-time filtering - in old days I remember it was Allen, who introduced 
such field style ...

Henrik - as for the focus - do you try to focus/hilite particular 
cell, or just a row?

Robert: I will look at right click unsorting.


Realtime filtering is really up to the field that provides the string 
and updates the list, not the list itself (more flexible that way). 
I've done it before, where realtime performance could be achieved 
with more than 30000 entries in the list, so it's not a problem to 
do.

pekr: I've tried focusing a single cell, and I can get key and mousewheel 
feedback, but selecting is ruined by it.

robert, BTW tri-state sorting can be turned off with the TRI-STATE-SORT 
variable. then it only switches between ascending and descending.

(but it's broken in 0.0.7!)
