that stack-overflow, do you have an example?
Graham

I can't reproduce it.
But I thought it was due to some lack of focus problem
Which I was exploring focus problems

that 'into-widget goes recursively thru the panes.
so either you have a parent pane as child-pane, or it has a bug.
or the error-messsage is misleading.
but that should be reproducible.

I'm not setting any panes manually.
Just using rebgui in vanilla fashion
so, I think it's a rebgui bug

i agree. 'show would throw an error otherwise.

what would you consider the next most important style missing in 
RebGUI? Is that Menu, or Tree-view? Or other? As for me, it might 
be Tree-view, as it allows to display hierarchies ....

I think WRT widgets we are mostly complete. What I see as the next 
big step is to add runtime APIs to the widgets like: changing the 
buttons in a radio-group, selecting a button programmatically.

For those wanting to see first results of rebgui-grid, here's the 
screenshot - http://www.xidys.com/rebgui-grid.jpg

features missing though ...

Chris' buttons on the left - that is what I call nicely looking :-)

well, it is nice to hear it from the guy, who is author of most powerfull 
grid I ever seen (well, except my favourite and needed horizontal 
scrolll, which Cyphre's version supports from now on)

>> ? help

print was set to NONE, but I was using too old a version of RebGUI 
it seems.
Is the "How to create a RebGUI 0.3.0 widget" no longer valid? I can't 
make it work with RebGUI 0.4.2, but it says nothing about not being 
compatible anywhere...
DISPLAY will not recognize any elements I add to ctx-rebgui/widgets
Graham

are they being included into the source when you create distro?
Henrik
11-Jul-2006
[4363x2]
I'm doing no such thing. I thought you could pad them as written 
in the manual?
ah... turns out I was also supposed to append the word to ctx-rebgui/words
Graham

This is your toolbar?
Henrik
11-Jul-2006
[4366x2]
yes
renamed to icon-bar, not to confuse it with the existing toolbar-
Graham
11-Jul-2006

so, working now?
Henrik
11-Jul-2006
[4369x5]
nope, I need to find a replacement to layout/tight
which basically should be display without needing a title and just 
the block...
display => 'display
interestingly, if I try to use 'layout in my toolbar widget, REBOL 
crashes promptly.
is there a method to display a layout inside another layout?
Pekr

can list-box work in mode as in html forms? You simply select value, 
and key is returned instead?
(it was request of my friend who is not here, I actually don't know 
what he means exactly ...)
why drop-list does not exceed the border of owning app window?
Anton
11-Jul-2006
[4377x3]
Henrik, yes since then Rebgui was rearranged a bit.
Pekr, the drop-list would have to be a window itself to do that.
Henrik, you now have to add your widget's name to the total list 
of widgets, since rebgui-layout.r revision 16,  like this:

	append ctx-rebgui/words 'my-rebgui-widget

(I'm updating the doc)

See the problems caused by documentation ? *See* ! ?
Henrik

documentation is vital, however, at least there *is* documentation. 
:-)
Anton

No... *source* is vital. Documentation is a mere reflection.
