Area: I just use it for notes and therefor it's OK.

OT: Just posting from a ICE-3 running at 300km/h

:-)

still have an RS6?

fast train - in Germany?

hihi

Yep, RS6... but for only 3 weeks, than I have to return it.

what next?

Yes, fastes train here in Germany.

Max, waiting for an RS8 ;-))

hehe guesss this should go into chat  !  ;-)

ok, to much OT now...

Again, if anyone want to merge my changes to RebGUI & document them, 
tell me.

You will do the whole community a flavour.

why not just send them to Ashley to look at?

and he can decide what he wants to use.

Good idea, if you email all the changes in a single zip attachment 
I'll probably get around to looking at it a lot faster ;) Any existing 
doco you have would also be nice, saves a lot of time trying to guess 
why certain changes were made.

Hi folks. Is there a way to set a background image for the display. 
IE: Backdrop %image using rebGui?

Refer to your question (and answer) of Nov 9.

Thanks Ashley. I did not see the response to Louis question.

I wanted to remember the spell check window, and it seems that I 
have to capture the face/parent-face/parent-face/offset and not the 
face/parent-face/offset as expected.  Why is this?

I notice that last-offset is set to face/parent-face/offset ...

I have the same problem also with closing windows.  Sometimes the 
button is in a layout with nothing else.  Sometimes I use unview/only 
face/parent-face and sometimes it works, and other times it does 
nothing.

if the spell checker hits a word which is not in the visible part 
of the screen, does the screen scroll to display this text?

make object! [
   code: 400
   type: 'math
   id: 'zero-divide
   arg1: none
   arg2: none
   arg3: none
   near: [pane/data: - para/scroll/y / (total - visible)]
   where: 'switch
]

Ashley, sent you our current RebGUI version with documentation.

Thanks, I'll have a look at this next weekend.

Ashley, feasible to add a scroller to tab panels if the widgets inside 
are too large?

Pekr, is it time to release the grid that Cyphre did yet?

yes, I will do, shortly. Now I will concentrate my free IT time to 
release it ...

Graham, difficult. Not going to be a high priority for me anytime 
soon.

Would someone please give me an example of how to feed data from 
a sqlite db into a rebgui table?

a: sql/flat "select * from"
insert clear table/data a
table/redraw

The returned columns from SQLite must be the same layout as the table 
definition.

connect/flat %test.db

display "Test" compose/only [

 table options ["Col" left 1.0] data (sql "select col from my_table")
]

do-events

Robert and Ashley, many thanks! I now have table displayed.

However, the new rows do not display when entered. I have to restart 
the script to see them.

I assume that table/redraw is needed to make them show up, but I 
can't get it to work.

By the way, very clear example, Ashley.

Ashley's example is a static one. The data is fetched only once when 
the compose happens. If you add my code to an action block of a button 
for example, the table is updated dynamically.

Guys, it would be great if you could submit this as code for the 
cookbook.

It would take a beginner like me months of part time reading and 
thinkering to come up with this.
Think of the "outside in" approach proposed by B.Meyer.

Ashley, I have a label inside a group-box which is inside three nested 
tab-panels.  Localisation is not changing the labels.

Works here. Are you sure the label is not being set/changed dynamically? 
Which raises the interesting question of whether the show-text, data 
and title funcs should be "locale aware" ...

Yes, it is not being changed dynamically.

Must be my old distro that I am still using.

I'll do some tests with the latest.

but I do have some labels, buttons where the text is changed dynamically

Localization code hasn't changed for a long time, so I doubt it's 
a build# problem.

The test I ran here was a single label in a group-box within a tab-panel 
within a tab-panel within a tab-panel.

which is what I have here.
