Example? Which widget.would need saving ? Like area/text ?
Graham

I have a display full of anonymous widgets ...
Pekr

ok, I expect it being just my unwillingness for simple things to 
install new sw. But to be fair, I will give it a try ... Will try 
to install Tortoise or what the hell the name is :-)
Anton

Ok, so to save them and restore them later to the same display ?
Graham

including check-groups and radio-groups
Pekr

I will have to do it anyway, once Cyphre's code comes, or someone 
else would have to do it for me ..
Graham

I save the data to a block and then restore the state
Volker

saving the whole form i guess. what vid can (should..) do with "set-face 
panel"
Graham

that's where I came a cropper with the divide by 0
since group-boxes can contain group-boxes it needs to be recursive

please post privately to me the most critical issues, you would eventually 
see fixed for RebGUI. I will look if there are any money left and 
eventually order Cyphre to do some work in that regars ...

Do you team up with Robert in hiring?

I want rebgui and vid window compatibility
so they act the same .. when i bring up a vid window from rebgui 
and the other way round
request-file is still broken .. lacks the /keep

I see, so when you saved the area, you didn't also save critical 
facets of the area's scroller.
Graham

the problem occurred when the area was blank.
when it had text in it, it was okay.
Anton

[4214]
It's fixed now isn't it?
Graham
28-Jun-2006
[4215x2]
yes .. only got a new problem now :(
unrelated ...
Anton

Rebgui request-file is different from VID request-file. Do you mean 
to say you would like the /keep refinement added to Rebgui's requestor 
?
Graham
28-Jun-2006
[4218x2]
yes
it's a logged ticket
Anton
28-Jun-2006
[4220x2]
So it is "broken" because you expect it to be there, or need it ?
Logged by who ?
Graham
28-Jun-2006
[4222x3]
me :)
Ashley said he missed putting it in
ie. an oversight
Anton
28-Jun-2006
[4225]
Ok, so we have to go ahead to add it then.
Graham
28-Jun-2006
[4226]
yes, it's very annoying without it.
Pekr

Volker: no teaming up with Robert. It is my employeer, who gave me 
permission to contract Cyphre for specific things I need. But I contacted 
Robert to coordinate and possibly not overlap our efforts ...
Anton

[4228]
Mmm.. it has other differences too. The code is much shorter.
Graham
28-Jun-2006
[4229]
radio-groups should also be able to cleared to none state
Anton
28-Jun-2006
[4230]
I can't work on this right now. It takes a while to understand the 
code properly.

Graham, "I meant in the trac .. want to see the diff", Browse Source|Revision 
Log ... then click on a specific Rev or Chgset.


Pekr, "guyyyys, pleaaaaase, when latest changes will be synced?" 
... since you asked so nicely I'm doing it now ...


Pekr, "are you suggesting I should install CSV product?" ... only 
if you want to make source code changes


Graham/Anton: "/keep"; an oversight that a number of people (apart 
from Graham) have found annoying

Ashley - thanks ... I will need to test with new things coming from 
Cyphre ...
but just installed Tortoise just few minutes ago too :-)

Synced public release (via get-rebgui or Viewtop) to rev#25. Changes 
include:

tour.r - Reinstated #include
requestors.r - Removed unfinished bubble-menu code

edit.r - Reinstated rev#19-20 changes lost in rev#21

display.r - Disabled tooltip for requestors (hack to bypass blank 
square with request-date/color/question)
radio-group.r - reduce data in init (see tour.r for usage case)
Pekr

table column separator color ;-) .... what about a bit of aesthetics? 
Too dark imo :-)

Haven't seen this error before : ** Internal Error: Stack overflow
** Where: into-widget
** Near: unless find [object! block!] type?/word get
** Press enter to quit...
Pekr .. keyboard shortcuts to the requestors ( Yes, No ) would be 
excellent too.

What is "SVN"?  Where is the "SVN directory"?
Anton

SVN = SubVersion, the concurrent versioning system used by TortoiseSVN. 
 We have started using it to keep files synchronized. You would need 
to download and install Tortoise.
But Ashley has just updated get-rebgui.r so you should be able to 
get the latest stuff using that at the present moment.

I am having a bug in a program interfacing RebGui to RebDB.

The problem is the following. The behaviour of RebGui'following commands 
having a strange effect on the data managed with RebDB:

my clear-UI function do clears a rebgui interface (simply a set of 
fields) to the RebDB data.

But clearing the 'text fields, it does also clears the values in 
the RebDB database.

At first I was using RebGui clear-text command, and tried the other 
View version just to check.
Both are doing the same thing.

Why clearing the interface fields does clears the data in the database. 
 clear-UI does not ask that.

And no instructions to do that appears in the clear-UI function, 
which is not calling any other function either.

It looks like the 'text field of the fields objects in RebGUI works 
as a direct reference to the database.

And nowhere my code calls by reference. I cannot explain that behaviour, 
nor find any hints in my code as to what causes that behaviour?

Any explanation or ideas on where to look for the cause of that behaviour?


UI-fields: [Funiqueid Fchristen-name Fsurname Fbirth Fname-prefix]
clear-UI: does [
	foreach f UI-fields [
		clear get in (get f) 'text
		show (get F)
	]
	ctx-rebgui/edit/focus (get 'Fchristen-name)
]

Isnt rebdb written by ashley? Then you can bet you have to do the 
'copy by yourself ;)
so if you put the field/text in the db, copy it.
(rebol often lets the user copy things, because copy canbe expensive. 
And people like Carl and Ashley like to avoid that.)
