No, type conversion is wrapped within an attempt and defaults to 
previous value on failure.

And the type is determined by the initial value?

No, by current type of options/1

this is currently not possible:

spinner options [ 9:00 24:00 0:30] data ""

Agreed, the assumption is that data must start with a valid default. 
I'm looking at how to enable data to default to none and text to 
"" ...

Thanks

Group-boxes, for me, have a visual anomaly now where the left edge 
eats into the label text of group-box

build#57 committed to SVN. spinner and group-box fixes as above.

Looking good!

I'll look at the tabbing issues later in the afternoon.

build#58 committed to SVN. Fixes 2 major tabbing issues:


 1) tab-on-enter now fires *after* calculation of next field (so works 
 correctly with show-focus)

 2) tabbing within tab-panel fixed (next field is prevented from looking 
 at non-displayed tabs)

How exactly are tooltips used?

Check %tour.r for an example.

Ahh.. never noticed them before!

So, tooltips are only used with the toolbar?

Try moving your mouse over the big RebGUI logo in %tour.r ... then 
look at the very first line of the display block! ;)

They can be used with any widget as follows:

	display "Test" [
		field tool-tip "Some help text"
	]

Ok, pretty much the only thing I have changed is to use the latest 
rebgui .. and my app which normally used 0% of cpu, is now running 
0 - 20%, and sometimes 99% .. even when doing nothing.

Has anyone else seen this??

Linked in an old version of rebgui and the cpu eating problem disappears.

Reverted to 0.4.2

I've re-encapped all my apps with the latest build and they all idle 
at 0-1%. %tour.exe idles at 50-75% though! Hmm, I might cut widgets 
out one at a time to see if it's a particular widget (e.g. anim or 
a timer) or just the number of widgets/events that's the problem. 
Good catch (I've been more concerned about optimizing for memory 
use of late, not CPU).

typing felt a little sluggish and I was exploring why!

Found the culprit! Set rebgui-ctx/effects/tooltips: false and things 
should return to normal. Next build will default to off unless I 
can fix this.

ok.

tool-tips or tooltips ?

tooltips

Some crude benchmarks with %tour.r

	tooltips: true		60-70% CPU
	tooltips: false		3%


Heavy optimization cuts the first one by 5% and the second by 1%, 
but the base cause of the problem is this line in rebgui-display.r:

	find-face event/offset event/face ctx-rebgui/tooltip-sensitive


which is needed to get around the View detect bug described here: 
http://www.rebol.com/docs/view-system.html#section-5.7

RAMBO Ticket #3867

ctx-rebgui/effects/tooltips: false

Works for me .. back to 0% again.

I have never seen this effect with the version I use. And I have 
tooltips on and use them. My app idels and tooltips work without 
any problems.

hmm, will you guys build downloadable file once you reach merged 
and kind of stable release?

just use the svn, and then run create-distribution.r

Graham, Pekr probably mean, that it's nice that you announce build 
numbers. But for example I don't know how to access your svn so the 
build numbers are a little bit useless. So maybe one day it will 
be fine to see some link into rebol file as well:)

Yes, adding some RebGUI stable release to a web-site is a good idea. 
I can do it, or Ashley do you want to do it on your web-site?

well, I downloaded SVN (Tortoise) to not be a lazy dog :-) I just 
don't know what to do with it yet :-)

where do I enter the url of trac?

hmm, do I need to first set-up any user accoung prior to being able 
to download files? What URL shoul I enter?

I get some propfind error, if I enter http://track.geekisp.com/rebgui

svn:// not http://

trac is not svn

and the whole url, please?

svn://svn.geekisp.com/rebgui

trac is a different program altogether .. it's a web interface to 
svn

right click on a directory, and then choose checkout from the svn 
directory

enter the svn url and that's it.

and those releases you talk abou there, are there, right?

hmm, can't connect, have to check my proxy settings :-(
