For which function? I think I have ShellExec and SetWindowPos mapped, 
but not sure about ShowWindow.

Just a way to bring up a new window without it grabbing focus.

brock, I think it's because the apparent default behaviour is that 
the text is centered.
default as in when using FONTS, it seems to use a different font 
object than when not using FONTS
brock, it's been corrected now and will be available in 0.0.23

Don't have that handy for a VIEW call Graham.

I'd like a way of adding a value to the list without changing the 
row focus
Henrik

kind of an append-row/no-select ?
added now
will be available in 0.0.23

thanks ..saves me one step :)
Are you going to allow images in the rows
Henrik
17-Jan-2006
[4008x7]
yes at some point...
it'll probably be when I do conditions.
but the design of that is not completed yet. I want it to be easy 
to make conditions :-)
that way you can have a row with a status column which for example 
reads 'offline or 'online. Then you could say [status = 'offline] 
would result in some kind of output in that cell, either a change 
of color or font or an image. basically anything that you can do 
with a face
there is a little bit about it in the docs
(suggestions are welcome)
off to bed...

Henrik.  What you are doing is really amazing.  I really enjoy watching 
projects advance.  Graham, Ashley,  John Niclasen and now you have 
let us watch an immature app/style/control grow into a more mature 
being.  I thank you all for this.
I was hoping Cyphre's style creation talk would be much on this exact 
topic of the steps needed to create a new style and walking through 
the creation of one.  Mainly to see if this was something that was 
rudimentary (even newbies could do) or very involved (only for the 
seasoned programmer).
It would be great if your project was broken down into the early 
stages of design considerations and implementing the design.  Allowing 
everyone to learn from the basic style creation to the addition of 
basic and advanced features.
I use Cyphres list style and asked him at one point what was involved 
in making the familiar style/control that allows selection of items 
in one list and moving them over to a second list either by double 
clicking on it or pressing buttons between the two lists.  I have 
no idea what this style is called, but it sure would be interesting 
seeing how you would implement this with your list style.

Do you plan to use the 'words facet to allow a VIDish way to specify 
(i.e) data.
So you can write :

	view layout [list-view data ["one" "two" "three"]]

didec, I would if I knew how to do that :-)
Graham

Is backeffect a new facet in VID ?

brock, it's been a long and tough ride to get this far on my list 
view. This is actually somewhere around my 11th or 12th attempt at 
a list view where 3 of them were almost as functional as this one! 
So it has been because of this knowledge that it was possible to 
build LIST-VIEW this fast.

Have a look to the current list style. Use Anamonitor and look at 
the 'words facet. It's pretty easy to do.
Henrik
18-Jan-2006
[4024x2]
but this is the first one I feel has been done, at least almost right, 
because it's the first one where I used something from Cyphres speech 
at the conference.
didec, thanks! I want to implement it :-)

Please, also consider some renaming.

flt-list => filter-list (more obvious)
get-row-here => get-current-row or get-selected-row
Graham

Henrik's vowel keys are broken on his keyboard!
DideC

[4028x2]
get-col-here => get-this-current-col or get-this-selected-col
Not for Altme it seems :)
Henrik

didec, I'm thinking about it, but it'll break a whole lot of stuff, 
and I hate long variable names :-)
Ryan

get-col-pos
get-row-pos

Henrik, the main cost is in maintenance, and if you use abbrevs it's 
much harder for everyone to maintain later on.
Henrik
18-Jan-2006
[4034]
alright, I'll have a look at it
Graham
18-Jan-2006
[4035]
( don't look at my code though! )
Ryan

My keyboard misses alot of letters too.

graham, I'll provide a translation table :-)
Ryan

for me the longer the program, longer the names.
Graham
18-Jan-2006
[4039]
it's just a search and replace.

Yes, but it's the interface of the style.

And an important thing I learn from Carl is "choose the right and 
shorter name that precicely describe what is it and avoid shortcuts". 
It come back in it's blog regularly.

You may notice that Carl doesn't tend to skip the vowels in those 
names either (rebcode notwithstanding).

When I read 'change-row-here, I just wonder "Where?".

When I read 'change-selected-row, I know where. It also implied that 
it can happen that there is NO selected row.

If there is always a current row (but that is not always selected) 
then use 'change-current-row instead.
Ryan
18-Jan-2006
[4043]
what about change-row?
BrianH
18-Jan-2006

Plus, consider multiple selected rows, which may or not include the 
current row.
