amacleod - Doc's driver allows to get "flat" block structure too. 
Look for /flat or /raw refinement or something like that. E.g. sqlite 
driver from Ashley uses /flat to obtain such structure.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I'm just looking at the table widget's properties...is it possible 
to have "hidden" fields? he number of fields in my database are much 
larger than what could be displayed.

no, no hidden fields. Table is very basic data widget.

Can you mix vid stuff wih RebGUI s that I can perhaps use Henrick's 
list-view widget within rebgui?

There is much better one, done under the contract by Cyphre. It is 
called grid. It allows you to have visible/non visible columns, row 
or cell hilighting, whatever content in a cell, vertical plus horizontal 
scroll. It's only drawback is, that first release does not contain 
column resizing.

Sounds good! Does it work with Rebgui?

Unfortunatelly, before it was fully finished, RebGUI got some api 
changes, and I am not sure how long would it take to adapt.

It was RebGUI only ....

and you can find it in the widgets folder. It is just not included 
in the demo.

that helps bigtme! thanks!

I hope it should not be a problem to adapt. IMO Cyphre would do it 
in one day, but let him work on R3 :-)

Robert also said, he has extended table widget. Don't remember exactly 
what was added, maybe horizontal scrolling ...

easy to have hidden fields in the table widget

I normally put all my hidden columns in at the front of the table 
options definition

and assign them a width of .001 which does the trick.

where is the widgets folder? On the website?

http://trac.geekisp.com/rebgui/browser/widgets

I tried the .001 trick..That might surfice. Thanks Graham!

I found grid.r on trac.geekisp. How do I download the script from 
here? I've tried to cut and paste but hte line numbers come along 
with it. And how do I use it with rebgui?

download - we all use TortoiseSVN, which you can install as an Explorer 
extension to Windows. Then via right mouse button context menu you 
choose -update, and point it to svn archive - you can find link somewhere 
on rebgui site.

thanks

and as I said - grid.r will not work imo. There were some changes 
in rebgui and someone would have to adapt it.

I can eventually send you a source, if you want.

It is a pity, as it it light-years more powerfull than table, which 
is just - plain vid list, with column resizing, nothing really more.

what is the last version of rebgui that it works on?

I will check if I have such one, and send you email eventually. I 
switched jobs inbetween, so dunno if I have it here.

but I sent it to Graham, maybe he might to send it to you ...

OK, I've got it .... checking your email ...

sent to your email I found here in your altme profile ...

Pekr, I got your email, thanks. I'm unable to get the tests to run. 
getting an error.

what version of View are you running? I run 1.3.2.

also note - you have to have rebgui.r in your app directory, as it 
is used by grid.r

the rebgui file does no seem to be formatted properly. Its all one 
long line.

it is ok, that is how ti was distributed in the past - packed

I'm using view 1.3.2.3.1

I'm running he test app with grid.r and rebgui in same directory. 
Do  I need to "Do" grid.r?

yes ...

ah, no ...

I just looked, it only does rebgui.r, because grid.r is part of the 
package ...

I will try to send it to you in .zip archvie ...

maybe mailer did something to it

sent ...

Bingo! it works. Thanks for all your trouble!

ah, super! Now how to get it working with latest version of RebGUI 
:-) Also note, that docs are very brief, so most of the functionality/features 
are hidden in source code ...

Looks like trac.geekisp.com/rebgui is down ...

as is www.geekisp.com

Regarding my boundary issues with rebgui and the area widget, this 
is what happens


If I am typing at the bottom of the screen and the scroller bar is 
shorter than the scroller height, and the bar is placed up against 
the top, then entering a return places the caret at the head of the 
current line instead of at a new line.

If I move the scroll bar to the bottom of the scroller widget, <return> 
then it does move to a new line.

There are no problems if the scroll bar occupies the whole of the 
scroller widget.

make object! [
    code: 902
    type: 'internal
    id: 'stack-overflow
    arg1: none
    arg2: none
    arg3: none
    near: [unless find [object! block!] type?/word get]
    where: 'into-widget
]

re: boundary issue. Is this the same "issue" as:

	display " [
		area "a^/b^/c^/d^/e^/f^/g^/h^/i^/j^/k"
	]


Then click on the first line to position the caret next to the "a". 
Now drag the scroller down and observe how the caret position changes 
to remain visible. Is this behaviour correct? (BTW, an answer of 
"No" raises a whole bunch of other issues).
