World: r3wp

Is there a reason why help displays infos about ports not in the 
same way as for objects ?
There seems just two minor changes needed
 
in dump-obj
>>    obj [object! port!]
instead of     
 <<   obj [object!]

and in help

>>        print either any [object? value  port? value] [print "" 
dump-obj value] [mold :value]
instead of 

<<       print either object? value [print "" dump-obj value] [mold 
:value]

Like Oldes, I have a do-clip func in %user.r, along with a cc func 
to copy, vv to paste, and cdr to "change-dir to-rebol-file". Handy 
stuff.

Okay, so there's no GUI in this alpha(stated above)?  Also, why aren't 
the actions of buttons in blocks anymore?  That seems ridiculous.

uh ? what do you mean ? 
>>load-gui
then
>> view [button "test" do [print "test"]]

Ah...I didn't know you could load the gui.  Thanks.  And the button 
action isn't in a block because you're executing the block with 'do. 
 I guess it's not that big of a deal, but it's annoying to me that 
view[button "test" print "test"] is also valid

'do and 'print are valid actions usable in the dialect.

check the content of the guie/actions object to know all the authorized 
actions.
>> first guie/actions

== [self do browse run launch view alert close halt quit set of attach 
submit reset clear focus scroll print dump moved signal]

oh, the GUI is there. I retract my previous statement. :-)

It's not really there, but it's not far away ;-)
Demo
 simply load it from the website.

well, then that means we can start working on simple GUI demos for 
Carl.

Is there some documentation for the gui?

Have you tried http://www.rebol.net/wiki/R3_GUI?

I'm uploading some sources to my site at:

http://rebol.hmkdesign.dk/files/r3/gui/

text-view part of demo crashes ...

elaborate

eh? you launch demo, go few items down in text-list, select text-view, 
and it crashes to console with:

Cannot parse the GUI dialect at: 'set ts read-string %main.r

Well, that's not my fault. :-)

the demos will of course have to be made correctly. gui-demo.r is 
only a launcher.

It simply try to read %main.r that is not available in the current 
dir. So it give an error.

Actually it should not crash on that.

Oh cool, shiny pictures! :-)

¨demo¨ is currently awfully slow, though - admittedly running on 
WINE

Another crash in the demo program: on the "Read HTTP" screen, "Run 
script from net" fails with a "File not found" error.

Maybe I am not in the loop on something, but the times I've tried 
to run the view alpha, it seems to be missing the view components

i.e. "layout is not defined"

you need to 
   load-gui
first.
Then, don't use layout, that' sso R2. Just:
  view [button "press" do [print "pressed"]]

The LAYOUT function is not in R3 anymore :)

layout: func [ b [block!] [ b ] for R3

I wrote some pointers on the Syllable site:

http://development.syllable.org/pages/index.html

Thanks Sunanda! :-)   I had been trying both with and without 'layout 
with the same result.  Looks like I skipped a line in the documentation 
somewhere.  I will go try it now!

Running drop demo http://www.rebol.net/r3blogs/0098.html
 I get an:

 Script error: cannot access locals in path system/view/event-port/locals/handlers

Pekr: about 'demo error on '"Text view", there is also the 'read-string 
function that is missing.

Luis, I would not expect year and half demo to work, it's still alpha 
and some things are changing

...year and half OLD...

Is there  a list of all the widgets available for R3 ?

Graham, I think you can get a list from within the R3 alpha as discussed 
here: http://www.rebol.net/wiki/GUI_Example_-_View_all_styles

That list will be larger when the real skin comes in.

So only a very few styles so far then

yes

In fact the list may be so large, we have to group them. Carl and 
I have discussed a tagging system, that lets you know which styles 
are meant to be used for you (end-users) or which ones are meant 
to be used for skinners to create new styles.

http://rebol.hmkdesign.dk/files/r3/docs/style-list.html
http://rebol.hmkdesign.dk/files/r3/docs/style-tree.html


Not a complete list. Some will disappear again, but it's what I have 
here.

Anyone able to send messages to rebdev? They do not appear in my 
chat and I have duplicates of headings and messages in some places.

ouch, maybe something is broken? will try :-)

I can see messages in rebdev mobile, so it seems to work normally 
for others.

I can now see my test message when submitting nn

nothing here.

delete rebdev related files in your directory and let it resync?

I should, but I'd rather have this debugged. Maybe I should send 
my chat files to Carl.

I'm really surprised by the small number of people reporting bugsabout 
the R3 Alpha. Where is the feedback from all those people pressing 
for a public alpha?

See, that's why I stopped pressing ;-)
