its no use to change it. mmmm maybe im wrong and used this feature 
already :)

you could try using the engage function .. ie. to simulate a mouse 
click.

but let me ask another thing meanwhile: how can i redefine the up/dn 
or pgup/pgdn keys for field widgets?

ay.. that would hurt :)

I'm guessing you have to trap those keys in the engage function.

but there is already a smart engage function crafted for widgets 
having textediting capabilities

how can i extend that? what is the best practice for solving such 
situations?

except the cursor keys and page up/down don't work in the text editor 
as of yet.

pardon? which works and which dont? and dont forget about undoing 
and copy/paste. keys for those operations also work

3. question: (im just inspecting rebgui-widgets.r and found this) 
foreach row picked [insert tail blk pick data row]

why is it insert tail blk instead of append blk ?

usually speed.

hmm.. wow. okay, i believe u, thank u

but as in effect they are equivalent, right?

yes. but append is a meazzine.

okay, i see now

just source it.

done that, thats why i said "i see now" :)

isnt that "i source now"? :)

:))

volker, u look like a guru as well, can u help me answering my keybinding 
problem?

i wrote a little csveditor and this is the last thing i need to release 
it as a useful app

Maybe, but did not much with rebgui. What was the question?

i would like to bind an action to the pgup/pgdn key when im in field 
widgets preserving all the predefined keybindings of course

the action would be selecting the next row in a table widget. i cant 
solve that either but its more possible that i can solve it by myself 
than figuring out how do the keybindings work in rebgui

Can you override the /engage in rebgui? like with feel in vid?

maybe not exactly like in vid, but it already has a value

a very complex function

Yes, but thee is a trick.

and im curious about that wether it contains any extension capabilities 
or not or im just too blind to recognize it

I am writing a demo in vid. maybe it helps.

well that would b great

about

http://polly.rebol.it/test/test/nextgen/www/../../../test/nextgen/../rebgui/../extend-engage.r

traps mouseclicks. do not know exactly about keys yet.

aha.. (fancy url :)

My index-builder is a bit unsmart..

and i got the url from desktop. when i go up, it adds %../ , when 
i go back, the folder, up again an so on.

anyway, i like your experiments. i was browsing around thru your 
doors yesterday or so

Thanks :)

i programmed turbovision and delphi earlier, so its the usual "overriding 
a virtual method trick"

Yes.

Only that you have to copy the overridden method in rebol.

okay, i will do it then, but i will refer to you as the parent of 
the idea doing this like that ;)

and to avoid clashing (subclassing some levels deep, at every level 
old-engage: :engage) i prefix with area^

Me? That file must have been wanderd in accidentally.. *whistle*

i hope, we can discuss it w ashley himself this week. hes gonna back 
from holiday this week

small update, fucusses face now. you can type, but mouse-clicking 
gives alert. to show it really uses the original engage.

Good, i have a little fix to areas down-arrow.
