It sounds like you're running a version of View without user prefs, 
or with --noinstall or something (check command line invocation).

its the version of view i use

Ok, I'll try that one.

-- noinstall ?

the object exists

See usage in the rebol console.

user-prefs

but what i used is my old sdk so the version is probably far older

i try with this one

http://www.rebol.net/builds/

ok i m getting them

i can use my key to windows and linux ?

** Script Error: Cannot use path on none! value
** Where: do-facets
** Near: system/script/header/content
>>
>> refresh
** Script Error: window has no value
** Where: refresh
** Near: show window

here are the messages i have with the demo

Hmm...

ok i drag and dropped the script on the view icon and it worked

hurra

Sorry, I've never used the sdk before... :)

(except for reading source)

you dont encapsulate your scripts ?

Nope. I'm not into that yet.

Do you need it to work with the sdk ?

if you want to do commercial soft it can help :-)

no finally its ok i think i ll study the widget to see how it work

thanks for all

np

bedtime for me..

Anton,  I notice in your demo-scroll-wheel-handler.r if I add some 
text to the scroll-panel itself (not in a scroll-area) teh scroll 
wheel continues to work but you loose page down.up and arrow key 
function. I guess it looses focus. If you click on hte panel you 
get it back.

Is there a way to retain it without needing to manually resetting 
it?

That is if you highlight that text...

On anoher note...

Anyone know of any good examples of colorizing (highlighting) sections 
of text within a face. The word browser mentions caret-to offset 
and offset-to-caret being used to map text and creating colored or 
hyperlinked text but the example does not seem to be what I'm looking 
for...

amacleod, do you mean adding a TEXT like this:
	scroll-panel [
		text "hello"
	]
and clicking on the text?

The TEXT gains the focus (and can be selected and copied etc.), but 
since the scroll-panel no longer has the focus it doesn't get arrow 
keys etc.
You could make the TEXT inactive by setting its FEEL to none:
	scroll-panel [
		text "hello" feel none
	]

or you could modify its feel to route particular keys such as page-up/page-down 
and arrow keys to the scroll-panel it's in.
	text "hello" feel [
		append last last second :engage bind [
			if find [up down page-up page-down] event/key [

    face/parent-face/parent-face/parent-face/feel/engage face/parent-face/parent-face/parent-face 
    act event
			]
		] first find second :engage 'act
	]
Not particularly easy, but there you go.

I have thought about this issue before, but didn't come up with a 
clear vision of how to handle it properly yet, I think.

Anton, yes that is the issue...


If you add a "feel none" you can no longer highlight and save to 
clipboard which is what I need.

Your more elaborate 'feel' provides the correct action but is there 
a way to make this global or would I need to attach this feel to 
each set of text in a panel?

You could easily restylize text, in a single layout spec, like so:
	layout [
		style text text feel [
			; (feel definition as above..)
		]
	]
or for all subsequent layouts:
	stylize/master [
		text: text feel [	
			; (feel definition as above)
		]
	]

Note that the feel I've provided above is hardly a general solution. 
It's likely to work only with my scroll-panel as it depends on knowledge 
of scroll-panel internals to do its work. It's a quick hack.

That's what I seem to be all about...quick hacks.

Thanks for the help.

I downloaded rebview276 for linux.

I downloaded rebview (rebview-fedx86.tar.gz) for linux. Simply extracted 
it in desktop and launched with double click. It worked well some 
first times, but then it it simply does not launches - double click 
on executable - nothing happens.

what happens if you try to launch it from console?

[[root-:-localhost] Desktop]# cd rebol-276
[[root-:-localhost] rebol-276]# dir
rebview
[[root-:-localhost] rebol-276]# rebview
bash: rebview: command not found

was it right way to launch an app in linux?

You need to type "./rebview" (unless you have the current directory 
in your path)

I am trying accustom The Linux. Aha - works now

But why it worked with double click before but not now?

After quiting linux console shows:

Se

Segmentation fault

When you double click the file icon on the Desktop, Linux knows exactly 
what file you want to run. When you try to run something from the 
command line, Linux first looks to see if it is a command built in 
to the shell (bash), and then looks for it in each directory in your 
PATH environment variable. Typically, the current directory - "." 
- is not included in the PATH when you install Linux.

You can also specify the location of an executable by an absolute 
or relative path. An absolute path starts at the root, such as /home/kcollins/rebview. 
A relative path is in relation to the current directory. So "./rebview" 
tells the shell to find the executable in the current directory.

To see what your PATH is set to, run "env | grep PATH".
