World: r3wp

it is not, and my system is somehow screwed - I run View from c:\rebol\view\rebol.exe, 
and view-root shows c:\documents and settings\krenzelokpetr\data 
aplikaci\rebol ....

In the registry there are now two keys:

maybe we should move to View group?

HKCU\Software\Rebol\View\Home = d:\anton\dev\rebol\view

ok -> View

Ok, I'm confused now.  I downloaded a new rebgui distro using the 
above link.
This still fails for me.


view layout [ button "Rebgui" [ display "" [ text "Rebgui from Vid" 
]]]

Ashley, did you test this last night with that version, or a newer 
unreleased version.

Can anyone else check this out?

Graham: it works here.

So, it opens up the RebGUI window on clicking the button?

Yes

Graham: don't you have %user.r patched somehow?

My user.r is full of patches and when I'm not sure, where's problem, 
I rename %user.r to somethuing else to make sure I've got clean rebol.

no, I don't.

I'm going to try a new PC and see what happens.

REBOL/View 1.3.2.3.1?

>> rebol/version
== 1.3.2.3.1

Create a file called %test.r in view-root/public/www.dobeash.com/files/rebgui/ 
with the following:

	REBOL []

	do %rebgui.r


 view layout [text form system/version button "RebGUI" [display "" 
 [text "RebGUI from VID"]]]


and then run by double-clicking it. I see "1.3.2.3.1" in the text 
and clicking "RebGUI" displays the RebGUI window.

This is totally weird.

Your script runs okay.

I see the "RebGUI from VID" popup.

*BUT* if I run the same script from the console ... it does not work 
!

ie. if I type each command one by one.

do %test.r works

do %rebgui.r
and then 

view layout [text form system/version button "RebGUI" [display "" 
[text "RebGUI from VID"]]]
does not work.

You're not alone:

Script: "RebGUI system" (6-Dec-2005)

>> view layout [text form system/version button "RebGUI" [display

from VID"]]]

fails for me too!

so, I'm not crazy!!!

Even odder, creating a script with just:

	REBOL []

	halt

and then typing the exact same commands as above works!?

back later ..

what is the problem?

do http://www.dobeash.com/files/rebgui/get-rebgui.r
change-dir view-root/public/www.dobeash.com/files/rebgui
do %tour.r

if i do paste that, i get the tour running. (linux)

That works, it's the interaction of VID/RebGUI when REBOL is started 
in a certain way that's the problem.

Here too..

that halt-trick works here too. portable bug.

Maybe this:
probe system/script/header
do %scratch.r
probe system/script/header

yep.

view layout [text form system/version button "RebGUI" [display "!!!" 
[text "RebGUI from VID"]]]

foreach window system/view/screen-face/pane [
        if title = window/text [return]
    ]

default title depends on system/script/header. with the halt in a 
script, you have a real title.

better compare faces with 'same? then by title?

btw if i vidify rebgui, is there a chance to get it accepted? or 
do you insist on the api-clashes?

Not sure what you're discussing Volker. This part "text form system/version" 
is not necesary for the script to fail.

Ahhh...

do %rebgui.r
and then 

view layout [text form system/version button "RebGUI" [display "This 
is needed!!" [text "RebGUI from VID"]]]
works :)

What's the technical reason for this failing with no window title?

the foreach above is from 'display. if you have a window with your 
title already, it simply returns. the default title with no header 
(no script) is "" ;)

so, the bug is with 'display

Must be an optimisation :)

yes. a hidden feature :)
