World: r3wp

I was wondering when someone was going to ask about the whole 9999 
thing. ;) It's an optimization to avoid a redundant size assignment 
prior to 'size-text but has the problems you quoted. I'll probably 
change it back to -1x-1 in the next build or two.

Thanks for the link ... that and some testing has convinced me to 
remove the 'show redefine from the next build.

I'm working on tab-panel 2 arrows insertion ;)

first change into the arrow/feel/engage down  event you will need 
to add if face/action [do face/action] to enable the arrow to launch 
action ;:)

I started the work on arrow motion ;)

in the tab-panel so for now no code is available maybe later to night 
(I have yet some little things done ;)

sorry face/action in arrow was yet supported  !!!

im don't know why the supplyed action for the tab-panel is not doed 
on mouse done avant ...

TAB-PANEL widget looks like :

redraw: function [face act pos] [test-size test-wid] [
			     
				if act = 'show [face/pane/1/size: face/size - 0x20
					either not dir-buttons [
					 	dir-buttons: true
					 	test-wid:  last face/pane
			    		test-size: test-wid/offset/x + test-wid/size/x
						if greater? test-size face/size/x  [
			    			insert tail face/pane face/l-arw: make arrow [
		        				size: 20x20
			    				offset: as-pair (face/size/x - 40) 0
			    				data: 'left
			    				action: [print "you clicked left" ]
		     				] do face/l-arw/init
			    			insert tail face/pane face/r-arw: make arrow [
		        				size: 20x20
			    				offset: as-pair (face/size/x - 20) 0 
			    				action: [print "you clicked right" ]
			    				data: 'right
		     				] do face/r-arw/init
	     				]
		     		 
	     			][	
	     				face/r-arw/offset: as-pair (face/size/x - 20) 0 
	     				face/l-arw/offset: as-pair (face/size/x - 40) 0 
	     			]
		     		

       print "la liste des bouttn est plus grande  que ce que l'on voit!!!" 
		    	]

tab-panel/feel/redraw offcourse

in it the arrow/action is not done when we make a click on them ... 
pretty anoying for the rest ...

another thing anoying is that we need to move the buttons so to do 
this easier we need to pack the header button of the tab-panel into 
two boxes in order to slide them ;)

this means the complete change of the feel event switch for the header 
to adapt them to the new path face/parent-face/parent-face ;)

re: action. Try:

	action: does [print "you clicked right" ]

k

Well I'm going to sleep :)  I have 2 bugs with current implementation 
1) clicking into the panel arrow is not possibe ... 2)  header button 
countainer and sub countainer have the 100x100 size ...

as I inserted 2 countainers to hold header buttons in tab panel I 
had to recode lot of path to be able to locate the convienient widgets 
:=

:)))

i solve both bugs by adding 9999x20 in the containers definition

now I have a new bug the 2 last header button are inserted into the 
secon tab-panel (the demo one ;) ))

how could they jump there  ???

I have no Idea :)

well ashley the last code is posted to you private area (don't want 
to garbage this directory)

have fun ;)

the last thing to be done is: 1) scroll the sub countainer when we 
clic on the arrows 2) when the windows is bigger enought the arrows 
must desapeare been hided :)

sure you need first to find why the 2 last button header of the main 
tab panel jumps to the secon tab panel

Ashley: I posted to you in private my l	astest code.  visualisation 
of the arrows and scoll of the header buttons is done

there is still some bugs that I don't know how to solve them ... 
this time I'm really off ...

ASHLEY  LOOK TO PRIVATE FOR A  SCROLLER WITH NONE  JITTERRING DRAGGER 
IMPLEMENTATION.

and lot of information of what I done and how :)

for all people reading this groups tab-panel problems have been solve

Excellent Shadwolf. Glad to see things are still active and progressing 
on this. I wish I weren't so busy at the moment, and I hope the community 
will help to make RebGUI a model for future projects.

for this project I think the most important thing is the continuty 
there was so mutch widgets lib more or less evoluted that have been 
abandonned because no body was conserned by the futurs of those library 
I want to participate more but my implementations in general are 
very code consumming ;).

but I'm learning lot of things.

Alpha2 build available at: http://www.dobeash.com/files/RebGUI-020.zip

Highlights include:


 - New, unit based sizing model (see http://www.dobeash.com/it/rebgui/display.html)

 - Improved language localization (see http://www.dobeash.com/it/rebgui/locale.html)

 - New arrow, chevron, check-group, led-group, scroller, spinner and 
 drop-list widgets
	- Lots of minor fixes
	- show redefine removed
	- Use of -1 instead of 9999 to denote auto-size
	- Aesthetic improvements (use of gradients)
	- %tour.r substantially rewritten

Known issues

	- spinner and drop-list widgets need more work
	- scroller needs more work (resizeable dragger)

In progress

	- Improved tab-panel (shadwolf)
	- Menu (cyphre / shadwolf)
	- tabbing
	- field input validation (field input masks, etc)

That leaves less than half a dozen widgets to go!

	list		single column
	listview	multi-column
	treeview
	popup-menu	context menu
	status		status bar with one or more “segments”

Great stuff!! One question WRT fields uses in specification and runtime, 
for example LED-Group. Is it possible to alter the led-group content? 
Adding or removing possible entries in it? Or is this a one-time 
action when the widget initializes?

resizing system: How about a method that will store the layout if 
altered by the user and reload the GUI in the same layout? It always 
drives me nuts if I have to resize application splitter bars, panes 
etc. when starting again.

Rebgui starts to look very nicely polished (UI wise), just a bit 
WinXP-ish, but it never mind here ... maybe OSx users will complain 
later :-)

I do not remember now, if it was said that skin system will be available 
later?

beautyfull ;)

robet adding some thing to a group coud be done by append My-group-var/data 
compose [etc...] then my-group-var/init :)

Drop list seems to have some issues. Doesn't keep the selected value. 
Maybe just a demo thing.

Looking awesome though!

gregg it's just a demo thing ;)

Known issues

	- spinner and drop-list widgets need more work

would it be ok if i try to make this stuff style-compatible? so that 
it could be used both ways?

Volker sure but once you get a working code you need to submit it 
to Ashley ;)

to allow him interger it and ptimize it
