sure ...

does View set parent-face for a layout internally?

it is set after a show

so it's internal

but you can set it manually.   :-)  as long as its the actual parent, 
its totally safe.

some view functions require the parent-face to be set in order to 
work.... this is sometimes usefull when you want to create stuff 
between a call to layout and one to show.

I guess it comes from the fact that you can build face trees manually 
and therefore would need to set them with SHOW directly.

glayout has always set parent-face directly after creating panes 
on the fly and its never been an issue.

I'm altering the VID model and so all faces are required to have 
a parent-face set.

Yeah, I guess I need to do the same.

btw, you know that creating row/colum styles in VID is really easy?

example?

you can do directly within a call to style :-)

give me a minute... will load code to be sure I give a proper working 
example.

row: box edge none with [
		color: none
		multi: make multi [
			block: func [
				face 
				blks
				/local frame tt
			][
				if block? blks/1 [
					frame:  layout compose [
						origin 0x0
						space 10x10
						across
						(blks/1)
					]
					face/pane: frame/pane
					

     face/size: frame/size + any [all [face/edge 2 * face/edge/size] 0]
				]
			]
		]
	]

I see. :-)

maybe I'll use that for forms.

the nice thing is that you get R3/Glayout style layout blocks  :-)

adding the column...

column: box edge none with [
		color: none
		multi: make multi [
			block: func [
				face 
				blks
				/local frame tt
			][
				if block? blks/1 [
					frame:  layout compose [
						origin 0x0
						space 10x10
						below
						(blks/1)
					]
					face/pane: frame/pane
					

     face/size: frame/size + any [all [face/edge 2 * face/edge/size] 0]
				]
			]
		]
	]



view layout [
	column [
		row [
			vtext 100 "first name"
			field
		]
		row [
			vtext 100 "last name"
			field
		]
	]
]

layout is totaly obvious at first glance and all alignment is perfect.

ok, can you decide the size of a column? say you want to share column 
sizes across multiple panels.

I never understood why these where never added to VID.

if you look at the styles above, they inherit their sizes from the 
content... but you can easily do a simple trick  :-)


only inherit the size in the direction of the size which is set to 
-1

so if you do: 	

column 200x-1 [ 

then it would staticaly size the x but inherit the y

I see.

new style with this trick enabled....

column: box edge none with [
		color: none
		multi: make multi [
			block: func [
				face 
				blks
				/local frame tt
			][
				if block? blks/1 [
					frame:  layout compose [
						origin 0x0
						space 10x10
						below
						(blks/1)
					]
					face/pane: frame/pane
					unless face/size [face/size: -1x-1] ; prevent error below
					if face/size/x = -1 [					

      face/size/x: frame/size/x + any [all [face/edge/x 2 * face/edge/size/x] 
      0]
					]
					if face/size/y = -1 [					

      face/size/y: frame/size/y + any [all [face/edge/y 2 * face/edge/size/y] 
      0]
					]

				]
			]
		]
	]

graham: wrt scp copy... I'll finish writting it and see if it can 
be posted to rebol.org... I need it to setup my linode server.

 so it will definitely be done shortly.

I think I'll borrow that style if you don't mind. :-)

Henrik: realize that in the above, you can add other faces in the 
group layouts on the fly, I sometimes do so to provide title bars 
to my panes.


in which case I use the multi and add another callback with the function 
name to 'text   and set the string to some internal buffer, then 
reuse that text in the dynamically created group/frame title bar 
instead of the group's text itself.

;-)

sure.

thats why I posted it  :-)

Sorry Anton, Yes I'm using your scroll-panel  in R2. I was not the 
scroll panel that was the issue but how to get each occurance of 
a specific word from the face/text

Sorry, I just brought up the wrong topic there...but yes that is 
your scroll-panel...

Max, is there a specific version of View that the above code works 
with?  R2 all, R2 specific, or R3?

ALL view even 1.3  AFAIK

this scp management tool is fun to build.  :-)  I've got full remote 
site browsing, add folder, and now working on delete (folder+dirs)

although the access is slower than ftp, its much more stable.  the 
ssh protocol is much more constistent AFAIK.

is it REBOL/Command only?

nope... I'm using command-line tools for the access.  putty et al.

for now... I need something that just "works".  speed is secondary... 
the actual file copy is quick, its the login at each command which 
takes about a second ...

is it possible to make sessions for multiple f ile copy or do you 
have to log in for each single operation?

basically at each operation, like clicking on a folder to view its 
content, I use call with an ssh related command.

I retrieve the output, report any errors or parse the return data 
and refresh the ui.


currently, it starts with root dir list, and you click on folders 
to go into them, or click on a checkbox to select it for other file 
manipulations.


each time I use call, the command-line must do a log-ing, since a 
system call is an atomic operation.

the file copying, is recursive within the command-line , so only 
one login is done and the recursive folder content is xfered at max 
bandwith.

anyone know where RESET-RELATED-FACES comes from? I see it in CHECK 
and RADIO.

I'll uses glayou't inspector to find out for you if you want

thank

...you :-)

its in system/view/vid-feel

you should ckeck out glayout's inspector... its a MacOS like finder 
to browe ANY rebol structure... and the end of a tree of data, if 
you click on something, you can then see what is inside  :-)

Does it work with rebgui?

and where is it?

all it takes to use is...
gl/request-inspector system/view
