World: r3wp

need to reboot windows. cu

The problem appears to be that no widget has focus

yet the shift-tab key is processed as though there is ....

Rebol []

do %rebgui.r
user: "Guest"

display "Test" compose/deep [
	field (user) return
	field return
	radio-group data [ 2 1 2 3 ] return

 button "Server" [ inform layout [ field "Type here" button "OK" [ 
 hide-popup ]]]
]
do-events

1. Highlight the first text field
2. Click on the "server" button
3. Highlight the "type here" field to give focus
4. Click on the "OK" button
the rebgui no longer has focus.
Now do tab .. and it crashes with a stack overflow.

posted to Cyphre on icq ...

Yep, reproducible.

The radio-group is redundant to the example.  You can remove it.

Oh well, I'm glad I have reproduced this annoying bug .. I deserve 
some sleep now!  past midnight.

Good work. And good night. :)

maybe some wizard will have fixed it by the time I awake :)

Cyphre will look into it now and post results here ...

;a quick fix seems to be
	process-keystroke: make function! [face event /local f] [
		switch/default event/key [
			#"^-" [
				if all[view*/focal-face viewed? view*/focal-face][

added the "viewed? view*/focal-face"

recurses in next-field with wrap: true, and the face is always the 
focused one from the closed window. but i guess cyphre found that 
too :9

not sure he looked into it, yet :-)

rebooted to early. forgot to mention its here:

        all [                                                            
               
; [che] -- Return older siblings. 
            target: next-field/wrap face

not? how long does graham sleep? :)

Graham: "For me, function is beauty"


As it is for me.  But your statement here implies that this issue 
is superfluous in light of deeper issues, which mischaracterizes 
the problem.   Form and function go hand in hand.  In a GUI (which 
literally implies both form and function) subtle information is transmitted 
in the cross roads of the form and the function.


Links, buttons, rounded buttons mean different things in different 
places.  To marginalize it may be myopic.


Anton: "I think that can't be good for people with vision problems. 
I say stick to the simple old ways."


We are actually going to offer both, we are actively working on this.

Volker, last time I looked a pane *block* cannot contain functions. 
(I remember wishing it could.)

Volker, that patch seems to work.  I shall report back over time... 
thanks.

Graham, I just looked into the problem. It was not caused by the 
RADIO-GROUP changes (as it crashes  even when remove the widget from 
your layout). And yes, Volker's quick fix looks good to me ;-)

Yes, I came to that conclusion.  I think I updated Rebgui with the 
tab changes and the radio group changes at the same time.

I hope someone with write access can fix the sources.

I want to add a row to a table but I don't want to keep a special 
block containing all the table values. How to do it? I only can get 
one entry added and than it's reused. Looks like some sharing is 
happening.

Ok, I just used INSERT... seems obvious ;-)

but doesn't work... again some sharing stuff. Some lines become like 
others after serveral inserts.

Another area problem :(

** Script Error: Cannot use path on none! value
** Where: switch
** Near: pane/data: - para/scroll/y / (total - visible)
** Press enter to quit...

this was using a scrollwheel on a field

so the problem lies in rebgui-edit.r

This patch solves the problem:

if found? [
	pane/data: - para/scroll/y / (total - visible)
]

in the scroll-line and sroll-page functions

if found? pane [
	pane/data: - para/scroll/y / (total - visible)
]

What build are you using? #26 already wraps those within an all block.

Robert, have a look at %tour.r to see how it adds rows to a table 
(and refreshes).

Uploaded rev#27 with Volker's fix.

Ahh... I see Cyphre fixed it already.

Ashely ... Windows tablet OS support in RebGUI ?  Feasible?

Input panel support works with View, native support requires MS compilers.

Can I use bold for selected rows of table widget?

there can be multiple selected rows actually?

hmm, that is something which is not planned for grid ....

in two weeks I will have something for you to test. Actually, we 
could release it sooner, but it is preliminary imo, as Cyphre is 
finishing hilighting, adding keyboard navigation, etc.

I observed it already - but what I want is to mark some rows with 
bold or other color or something similar.

but so far, I am very satisfied, the grid does tri-state columns 
sorting, functions for insert, remove, swap columns were added, you 
can have whatever element in cell, etc.

Janeks - usually, if I need something like that, I add column with 
checkboxes ....

How to... ?

well, not sure about tables, but new grid will allow that ...

even 0.3 version was imo better than what table offers .... I was 
quite surprised, how anyone can use that for real application?

I do. Table is good for text-only multiple column rows where you 
don't need cell-level addressing. Grid will satisfy those who need 
something more complex ... but don't confuse functionality/complexity 
with "better". Table meets *my* needs, Grid meets *yours*; and folks 
can choose to use the most appropriate one for the task at hand. 
Choice is good.

Most of the time I have no need for cell level addressing so the 
table works fine.  But I could use a grid someday ...
