[!RebGUI] A lightweight alternative to VID
older newer | first last |
Gabriele 28-Feb-2006 [3040] | Ashley: there is a reason, though, why VID was done that way. What happens if you add a face to a window's pane? VID allows that without any special processing. In your case you need to update the keycode table for the window. |
Ashley 28-Feb-2006 [3041] | And more. In VID you can quite easily add a face to another face's pane, whereas in RebGUI you sometimes want to add (or replace) a particular widget in a display with another (there is little need in RebGUI to add faces to a pane as these low-level details are taken care of by the widgets themselves). |
Graham 2-Mar-2006 [3042x3] | I'm finding that some of my windows won't respond to using keycodes. |
display "Keycode" [ text "test" return button "Close" #"^[" [halt] ] do-events | |
doesn't respond to esc key | |
Ashley 2-Mar-2006 [3045] | Added to issues. I think it is being [erronously] trapped by the area / field undo functionality. |
Graham 2-Mar-2006 [3046] | that's going to be tricky to solve then. |
Ashley 2-Mar-2006 [3047] | Not really. RebGUI can work out what widget currently has focus (if any) AND if it's a widget that has undo support enabled. |
Graham 2-Mar-2006 [3048] | got a quick fix then ? :) |
Ashley 2-Mar-2006 [3049] | When I get some time to look at it. ;) |
Graham 2-Mar-2006 [3050x2] | can you have more than one keycode for a field? |
eg. I want to use space and ^M for "OK" | |
Ashley 2-Mar-2006 [3052] | ESC can be fixed by changing the last few lines of 'process-keystroke (in %rebgui-edit.r) to read as follows: ; #"^[" [ ; ; ESC ; hide-popup ; ] ][ either all [ event/key = #"^[" find view*/pop-list view*/pop-face ][ hide-popup ][ ; if key is assigned to an action do it if any [ not view*/focal-face find [button] view*/focal-face/type ][ if f: select face/keycodes event/key [f/action f exit] ] ] ] Only the last of multiple keystrokes provided is used; but note that SPC is already mapped to button (so specifying #"^M" would give it two mappings ... a keystroke mapping and it's base "SPC activated on focus" default). |
Graham 2-Mar-2006 [3053] | in an alert, does the "OK" button automatically have focus? |
Ashley 2-Mar-2006 [3054] | No, but it should. |
Robert 3-Mar-2006 [3055x2] | startup-size: I know about all the problems. But I just want to be able to specify it. Because my app will work this way. It's not intended for 800x600 in the first version. At the moment I have to click on the window and move it, to get the min-size size. |
style: Hmm... ok. I'll have a look how to get it done. | |
Ashley 3-Mar-2006 [3057] | So the question remains; do you want to specify "size" inclusive or exclusive of OS title-bar and window border(s)? If min-size was enforced on opening the window (if that's even possible) would that suffice? |
Robert 4-Mar-2006 [3058] | Yes, because I than I just would use 1000x750 and that's great. |
Robert 7-Mar-2006 [3059] | Skinning: Is it possible ot skin RebGUI in a way that things like tabs look Mac like, or that I can add some eye-candy? |
Pekr 7-Mar-2006 [3060x3] | yes, Rebgui looks very vague :-) |
you can now at least change colors, I like more blue/grey combination with gradient ..... | |
but the answer in the past was that RebGUI was not meant to be that flexible .... so the chances of skinning system are imo limited ... but you can always go to 'tab style and change it yourself? | |
Robert 7-Mar-2006 [3063x2] | Yes, I know. IMO it makes sense to add a skinnig feature but a lightweight one. RebGUI is pure and minimalistic (which it isn't anyway) and in this sense should it be possible to add eye-candy stuff. |
How to set the focus to specific field? | |
Graham 7-Mar-2006 [3065] | show-focus ? |
Robert 7-Mar-2006 [3066x2] | Sounds good :-) |
What's the best way to create a number-only-input field? At the moment I just use field, where the user can input text and I first have to convert the input to-decimal to get back a number. Is there a way to just get back the number? | |
Graham 7-Mar-2006 [3068x2] | not yet. |
didec has some Vid fields for that .. but nothing yet for rebgui | |
Rebolek 7-Mar-2006 [3070] | Robert: Anton's styles are very precise on this, you can add od subtract numbers using mouse-wheel...check his rebpage. |
Allen 7-Mar-2006 [3071x2] | I've got an old up/down number style here for VID, if that's any use (though it lacks auto-repeat when the mouse is held down, I'm sure someone could add that easity). http://www.rebolforces.com/reb/12/up-down.r . |
woops sorry, thought I was in VID land | |
ChristianE 8-Mar-2006 [3073] | Is there a way to set the ALL-OVER window-face option for RebGUI faces, too? I think I better ask this now instead of just assuming that it was deliberately omitted for the sake of UI responsiveness? |
Ashley 8-Mar-2006 [3074] | Deliberate ommission for the reason given. Easy to add it as another refinement to 'display if it's needed for specific widget(s); although I'd have thought this could be handled by a 'detect feel? |
ChristianE 8-Mar-2006 [3075] | Yes, of course, Ashley, DETECT may be used for that, that's what I *haven't* thought of! |
Claude 9-Mar-2006 [3076x8] | hi, |
i would like to know why i (we) must transform a resultset avec database connexion to add it to table widget on rebgui ? | |
here is a little exemple => [ | |
db: open odbc://user:[pass-:-server] stm: first db insert stm {select numutl, nom,station from dbo.users order by numutl} res: copy[] foreach row (copy stm) [ append res row/1 append res row/2 append res row/3 ] close stm close db unit-size: 4 font-size: 12 tab-size: 120x55 languages: copy [] foreach language sort read %./rebgui/language/ [ insert tail languages form replace language %.dat "" ] do show-tour: does [ display "Widget Tour" compose/deep/only[ ex-table: table (tab-size - 48x18) #HW options ["ID" left .3 "Nom Utilisateur" left .10 "Station de connexion" left .40] data (res) | |
etc... | |
] | |
and how i can change the backcolor of the result data on this widget !!!!! example => first line color blue , second red, third blue ..................... | |
excuse for ma poor english ;-p | |
Ashley 9-Mar-2006 [3084] | The first issue is due to the fact that 'table expects its data to be flat, as in: ["A" 1 "B" 2] not blocked: [ ["A" 1] ["B" 2] ] Graham (a long time back) requested that 'table optionaly accept data in this format. I'll add it to the list of issues. Second one is a known issue (#26 at: http://www.dobeash.com/it/rebgui/issues.html#section-2.1 ) |
ChristianE 12-Mar-2006 [3085x3] | Here's a link to an experimental RebGUI widget TIME-PLAN I'm working on. It's starting to get useable, even though it's far from beeing useful yet (and since it's my first RebGUI widget ever, it's far from being very compliant to the RebGUI coding standards, too): |
do http://www.diefettenjahresindvorbei.de/rebol/time-plan.r | |
Hopefully, one day one will be able to use it for e.g. resource planning systems. Use left and right mouse buttons to edit the periods and the right mouse button to scroll the plan around. The bird-view in the widget's top left edge isn't editable in the sense that it would yet allow scrolling, but that's it's intended use, of course. | |
Ashley 12-Mar-2006 [3088] | *Very* nice. I wouln't worry too much about how RebGUI complient you are at the moment as it looks like you are going to have to code a lot of it directly in View / AGG anyway! ;) Watch out Apple iCal ... |
ChristianE 12-Mar-2006 [3089] | Thanks, Ashley. I'm mainly thinking "lacking compliancy" in terms of deep copying and memory concerns as well as regarding resizing due to unoptimized code at this stage. Not worrying isn't an option for me, I'm always worrying way too much! ;-) |
