Why does table/selected/n not work?  I have to do .. pick table/selected 
n

Is it because it is a function and not a path?

that could be a reason

A little confusing ...

How does one display a window so that it stays in front?

display/dialog doesn't work for me.

Graham - are you missing a ' or : in your question above?

if "pick table/selected n" works, I think you should try "table/selected/:n"

because "table/selected/n" means "pick table/selected 'n", which 
doesn't seem right  =^_~=

Sorry, it was a math thing ...

I think it doesn't work because it's not a path

Graham - I mean - how do I know, what facets are exposed to 'display 
dialect level? My friend simply asked me, if there is alternative 
to VID's 'with keyword with raw access to widget internals ...

how do I know?

I ask Ashley :)

Cyphre and I have continued to fix bugs and enhance RebGUI. We still 
have some bugs to fix but than it's time for a new release. As new 
widgets we have done a CHART widget that lets you do bar, pie, torus 
charts.

The CHART stuff is based on draw.

nice ... I am working on initial doc for grid, however I am more 
than one week late ... hopefully I will be able to release it in 
3 days ...

btw - combo-box - you can still scroll under the horizont - the bug 
that was there with table too ...

some way to ensure a window stays in front would be nice .. ..

Does that by default:

	display "A" [button "A" 40x40 [display "B" [button "B" 20x20]]]


Click button A, then B, then A again ... at least that's the way 
it works under 1.3.2.3.1

display "A" [button "A" 40x40 [display "B" [button "B" 20x20 [ display 
"C" [ button "C" 10x10] ]]]]

It doesn't for me ... button C will not stay infront of button B, 
but will stay infront of button A

ie. both stay infront of A, but C does not stay infront of B.

>> rebol/version
== 1.3.2.3.1

Easy enough to do ... just change line 83 of %rebgui-display.r to 
read:

	... reduce ['parent last ...


Consequence of this change (in the example above) will be that closing 
window B will close C. I'm loath to introduce specific 'parent declarations 
... how about a refinement that overrides the default "parent is 
first" behaviour? e.g:

	display ...	-> the default, parent is first window

 display/parent	-> parent is last (usually previous/calling) window

if C stays in front, then, closing B causing C to close is okay with 
me.

Actually, a refinement would be good having tested the change above 
which does not suit.

Added rev#31 with above refinement change to SVN.

radio-group: I think we need to enhance this widget by introducing 
an ID per selection option, that can be stored to a database. If 
you store the text, problems araise if the text is changed. If you 
store the selection poistion problems araise of the order is changed.

What do you think?

I'm happy with the current behaviour.

I'm not sure what enhancement you are proposing.

radio-group data ["Option 1" "Option2"] while developing your app 
becomes radio-group data ["Feature B" "Feature A"] 

How do you handle old records?

I use the index

sometimes ...

othertimes, I translate the text into T/F for storage into database

Char(1) takes up less space, no?

Yes, but TRUE/FALSE is position dependent. If you swap the order, 
you restore the wrong value.

Don't swap the order.

Sorry, it's been some time since I last used RebGui, so I've got 
a few questions.
(How) is it possible to ... ?

- change double-click handling of an area? (I would like to call 
a function with the position or word clicked on)
- change keyboard handling in an area? (like add auto-indent)

- have timer event, that fires after specified times (it would be 
ideal, if the timer could be reset on every key-press)
(I don't know how many changes RebGui adds in these areas).

Thanks,

Ingo

Not what you're asking?

SORRY !!! (I _REALLY_ should have RTFMed before asking! ;-(

I juast didn't find the the manual at the time, and I seemed to remember 
that it was something really, really advanced, ... and I got only 
2 hours of sleep last night, and ...

Well, thank you ;-) I guess, that's it! ;-)

you can create your own keyboard handler ... by altering the existing 
one.

there's an example of a timer event on the front screen of the demo.

Anton, does your code to remove tabs from a tab panel destroy the 
widgets that are present in the removed tabs, or does it just hide 
them?

OK, thanks, one more question, I have searched the docs, but didn't 
find anything ...
How do I position the caret in a rebgui area?

Same as in View:

	system/view/caret: at face/text pos
	show face
