World: r3wp

I really can't believe that the current Rebol has problems with supporting 
native requestors (didn't used them yet) and getting call done right...

I seem to recall having issues with Acrobat. Let me look...

My old issue was with making it print automatically. I used both 
CALL and ShellExecute with it, but I also had logic to find the actual 
Acrobat EXE.

You directly called ShellExecute? Do you have the LIBRARY definition 
at hand?

Search for Gregg's win-shell.r file.

I cached it from 2004.

Thanks Anton. I have it here, too, if you need Robert.

Ok, if the web-version is the actual one that's fine.

My win-shell module has a lot of other API funcs in it as well, for 
finding windows by title, etc.

:-) Would be nice if you could either sync it here, or on HQ or send 
it by mail to me.

Will do.

Thx

insert-even-func to the rescue again.

insert-event-func ..

i just use browse pdf .. and that loads up the browser, and most 
browsers have acrobat installed as a plugin

small useless demo: do http://bolek.techno.cz/reb/wall-street.r

This is kind of stuff, which should be presented after R3 release, 
and plug-in release, in demo category ...

Does somebody know how to change the color of individual lines of 
a text-list?

I believe that was the original reason I wrote LIST-VIEW :-)

Can't do that with text-list, but you can with LIST. LIST-VIEW is 
very complete though. LIST is lower level.

Henrik: is that in REBGUI?

unfortunately not

OK

Will it be?

I'm not sure. I have very little time to work on it right now, and 
R3 is coming up with VID+.

Yes, I wonder what that will bring us ...

Yes you can.

view layout [
	text-list data ["hello" "there" "Arie"] with [
			append init [
				iter/feel: make iter/feel [
					redraw: func [face action into][
					iter/color: color

     ;if flag-face? slf striped [iter/color: pick next colors odd? cnt]
					iter/color: white / 4 * (1 + mod cnt 4)
					if find picked iter/text [iter/color: svvc/field-select]
				]
			]
		]
	]
]

The new line replaces the commented line.

I don't like text-list, though. I would rewrite it first.

OK, I will try it. Thanks Anton.

I stand corrected. :-) I should know better than to say "you can't 
do that", because almost anything can be done in REBOL, it's just 
a question of effort and obscurity.

I thought you said it to provoke someone.

LOL

I tried it and indeed that's a nice trick (at least it feels like 
one ;-)

But yes, REBOL always amazes me (as well as the REBOL guru's out 
there)

Must have be subconscious provocation.

:-)

This is odd.. i fired up a .r view script link on a web page, and 
it launched the viewtop in the browser ;)

I seem to remember that was a problem of some version of the rebol 
web plugin.

How does one supress the creation of desktop/local folders?

Unknown, I think.

Unfamiliar with View: Is there a way to have Rebol/View rebuild it's 
local index automaticaly when you add scripts to the folder? It would 
ease the process of getting into the stuff if I could just shove 
a bunch of .r files in there without having to build an index manually 
before running them. Someone must have solved this already, I'm sure! 
;-)

no

wow. any idea why not?

guess no one ever bothered

double wow.

actually I think mine is dynamically generated

view has a GUI? ;)  I normally just use console :)

my index.r is actually a cgi script so it gets generated automatically
