new style with this trick enabled....

column: box edge none with [

				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 [

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?
Maxim

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?
Maxim
16-May-2009
[8802x2]
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?
Maxim
16-May-2009
[8805x2]
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
Henrik

thank
...you :-)
Maxim

[8811x2]
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?
Maxim
17-May-2009
[8815x2]
all it takes to use is...
gl/request-inspector system/view
it within (part of) the glayout library

Is it like Romano's and Jeff's object browsers ?
Maxim
17-May-2009
[8818x4]
something similar, but much easier to browse... less features than 
romano's though.
the rebol.org demo app has a button which allows you to use it.
wrt rebgui, it could be problematic, cause I think regbui also replaces 
the wake event, which will create intereference with glayout, but 
for this specific use... they could very well co-exist.  if you open 
the glayout first, and let rebgui do its own patching after.
many features could be added to it, but for what I use it for, its 
already very usefull... 


its only bug is that is seems to have trouble with unset! values... 
but I could probably fix that now that I have more understanding 
of a lot of rebol's more complex issues.

anyone remember how to make cornered buttons like the tabs in IOS?
I think I got it.

face/edge/effect: 'rounded ?
Henrik
20-May-2009
[8825x3]
no such thing. it's in the effect block for face rather than edge.
it's behaving rather strange though... not at all like it should 
from the docs.
actually it does, but it doesn't work very well. not like I intended. 
I'll draw some bitmaps instead...
Dockimbel

I often use images with rounded corners and the EXTEND effect to 
achieve that.

can anyone confirm to me that the modal window system in view 2.7.6 
is broken?

view layout [button "inform" [inform layout [button "ok"]]]


closes the dialog whenever you touch it... even when clicking on 
background?
glayout has its own popup system, so I didn't notice this earlier, 
but i'm using VID for another project.... I've tried a lot of things, 
but nothing seems to work... I don't want to have to path VID internals 
again...
path=patch
show-popup is reacting even more violently... closing all my windows 
in my app... just by touching the popup  :-(
seems I can use my glayout version of show-popup hide-popup in VID 
directly , and that works flawlessly in a few tests.... even fixing 
the inform call indirectly.
Graham

try this

 view layout [button "inform" [inform layout [button "ok" [] ] ]]
Looks like a bug.
Unless you assume that any popup must have an active button.
Maxim

but my dialogs don't have a close button in the main pane of the 
layout (using faces with nested panes).  :-(
