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.

I wonder if it's because I use ":" at the end of my labels

That would be it. "Name:" <> "Name"

Hmm. Screws it up.

words: [
Occupation:
 "Occ:"
	"Bytes"			"Octets"
	"Cancel"		"Annuler"

Instead of "Occ:" the label is now showing "Bytes"

Probably because you don't have a space between "Occupation:" and 
 "Occ:"

I do ..

one space and two tabs

just added those to be sure.

just tried it with other words . it causes the locale to skip the 
following word

for me anyway

Reproduced it, very odd. Looking at it now ...


re dynamic translations. Reading Gabriele's comments in the chat 
group on his TRANSLATE func got me to thinking we could do something 
similar, as in:

	display "Test" [
		button "Old Text" [face/text: translate "New Text" show face]
	]


'translate would return a string translation if passed a string, 
otherwise a block of translated strings if passed a block.

why not just show-translate instead of show-text ?

or, show-text translate "sometext"

show-text widget translate "sometext"

Yep, that's how it works The important point in the example I posted 
was not that it didn't use show-text, but that it is a func that 
is called to explicitly translate string(s) used by other function(s).
