World: r3wp

Ah, I did the writing part, and then used my send-keys dialect to 
pump keystrokes to other apps to automate the other side. In my case, 
it was putting things into a NetMeeting whiteboard.

You could easily do the same thing with Paint though.

James, you might try http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=paste-clipboard.r
to retrieve a bitmap from the clipboard in rebol image! format. Works 
with PrintScreen on my keyboard, ymmv ;-) If you have problems, please 
tell me so.

wow!

it works on my vista system

Good to know, Maxim. I've only ran it on XP so far.

Thanks Christian. I will try it.

Christian, that is sweet! Works like a charm.

That's cool. FYI, I've added experimental ability to write the image! 
datatype to clipboard, too.

Note that the script's is on rebol.org as http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=clipboard.r
now (the previous name got in the way).
It exposes two functions READ-CLIP and WRITE-CLIP now.

Anyone here use AVG Virus software.  They really have nice tabbed 
panels in the latest version.  We need a decision that can looked 
nice as that interface.

decision = design

I use it - a very web-like approach. The tabs-on-left style works 
well on widescreen displays.

screenshot?

The tabs role vertically.

yes, I see

does anyone know how to change the text-list highlight color?

I can change it with system/view/vid/vid-colors/field-select. But 
I can't change the font color at the same time.

text-list is an iterated face, so you probably have to study how 
it paints each row.

is a pane a face?

I see a pane as a block of faces. But the pane is in a graphical 
object, which represents a face, so I guess, you can also say, that 
a pane is a face.

Try this in the REBOL console:

b: make face [size: 100x100 color: red pane: []]
b1: make face [size: 20x20 color: green offset: 20x20]
b2: make face [size: 20x20 color: blue offset: 60x60]
append b/pane b1
append b/pane b2
view b


To close the window, click in REBOL console, press <Esc> and type:
unview

A pane can both be a face and a block of faces. A layout created 
with LAYOUT is a face. A window is also a face. A face is an object. 
A face can hold another face or a block of faces in PANE.

Pane as face:

b: make face [size: 100x100 color: red pane: []]
b1: make face [size: 20x20 color: green offset: 20x20]
b/pane: b1
view b

I get an error...
 clip: read-clip

For clipboard.r script

Have you tried it from console or via running a script? Does your 
script open a window?

That's from the console.

In a fresh console, does


>> do http://www.rebol.org/download-a-script.r?script-name=clipboard.r
write clipboard:// "Test" read-clip
connecting to: www.rebol.org
Script: "Clipboard" (10-Dec-2008)
== "Test"

work? Which Rebol version do you use?

REBOL/View 2.7.6.3.1 14-Mar-2008

Just to be sure I'm using it right...
 do %clipboard.r
>> clip: read-clip
** Script Error: h.desktop-window has no value
** Where: read-clip
** Near: require h.desktop-dc: get-dc h.desktop-window
require

Write-clip works

read-clip with text works

can't read-clip on bitmaps

it never worked with bitmaps

Doh. Silly typo introduced by refactoring. Updated script. Works 
with bitmaps again, now.

Hopefully, for you, too now, that is.

Nope...same error!

rebol does not use the vista default browser... can anyone tell me 
what I must do for it to work?


even altme is using explorer, although every thing is set to firefox... 
even mime types.

it works everywhere except in rebol-related apps  :-(

Strange.  Rebol is using the default browser for me running on Vista.

damn, graham told me it worked for him too!

my install is very standard on top of it.  i don't play a lot with 
the os... it just breaks everything.

Funny, I tweak EVERYTHING... =D

If you just look at my desktop you'd think I was running 2K not Vista...

Alan, what I did was updating the script on rebol.org, so if you 
get the exact same error message that's likely turning into a caching 
problem now. The script doesn't even contain the word H.DESKTOP-WINDOW 
anymore, so, if your original error (which is confirmed) persists, 
it should at least lead to different error message. Of course, I'd 
rather see it being gone. Would you mind ching the script you're 
using for version 0.3.1, dated 18-12-2008?

ching = checking

Maxim, if Vista has a registry too, then you might have the same 
problem, Graham had, and that he just fixed. See group DevCon2008 
and this:

http://newoldthing.wordpress.com/2007/03/23/how-does-your-browsers-know-that-its-not-the-default-browser/

ChristianE, I downloaded again and it works! This is great! I had 
use of this for a few apps in the past but had given up. I love it!

Thanks a lot.

John, Vista does have a registry.

Thanks, Alan, good to know it works for you.

A View problem:

rebol []
  unview/all
  view layout [button "butt" [request-list "req" [1 2 3]]]
  
Sequence:
1. run the above code

2. click "butt" to get the pop-up request list. Do not interact with 
it! instead:
3. return to the console window and hit esc
4. run the coee again

Result:
 a stuck window
 

Any ideas what I need to do in addition to the unview/all to disable 
whatever the request-list is waiting for?
