[!REBOL3 GUI]

Pekr, and all I'm saying is that the irreguarly shaped styles drawing 
can be solved with access to the face click mask, that either is 
or hopefully will be implemented by Cyphre. Therefore I find it pointless 
to work on a per-style solution.

I'd like to differnitate two things - focus "subsystem"  - that's 
already implemented at R3GUI level and actual focus draw - that's 
better to be solved at style level but the system may provide general 
focus mechanism for retrangular shapes.

Henrik, the per-style solution are two or three lines in draw block 
and one line in on-focus that changes color, that's all (and that 
on-focus is same for all button based styles).

that's all

 - and then you have to change it per new style and every time you 
 change a box rounding, etc.
and for cases where you use a highly irregular bitmap, you will have 
to use some kind of mask anyway.

Actually, when it's in-style, you do not have to take care of box 
model - that's problem only with universal solution.

does it currently fallback to a simple frame, if no highlight option 
is available?
Rebolek

I'm still just talking about visual representation of focus, nothing 
else. Catching focus should definitely be done on system level, I 
agree.

 - It should, but border seems problematic somehow. I'm working on 
 the gob mask, you were talking about, it's just not finished yet.

Simple frame: OK.

Catching focus, yes, we agree.


Visual: I still think the visual representation could be done automatically. 
The ancient Deluxe Paint III on my old Amiga could do the same with 
brushes, in that it would draw a single-pixel wide line around the 
bitmap. Do that a few times with fading colors and you have the look. 
If they could do that 20 years ago on a simple 68k machine, we surely 
can do the same today in REBOL3, if we have the clickmask and perform 
a simple blur on it.

Ah, ok I understand the mechanism you've got in mind. But implementing 
this would take more time than I spent implementing focus in-styles. 
But this would be nice to have, I agree.

a small glitch with style browser - I do mouse over of preview tab, 
it crashes. In console I do unview none, but consecutive start of 
style browser fails. Ditto when I try to re-do r3-gui.r3
mouse wheel scrolling works only upon the scroller of list. It should 
imo work even when upon the list itself ....

Mouse over on tab-button opens tooltip with preview that's done using 
to image! I saw some problem ssolie had here some time sooner and 
to image! was in the error description. I wonder if you've got latest 
R3, I had preview disabled in previous versions because to image! 
was causing crashes.

 - bug, I'll fix it.

This is what I get for mouse-over upon the preview tab - it displays 
the preview and crashes with:

Pekr, if you've got some time to help, please, have a look at keyboard 
nav and post any problem you find to me personally to not polute 
this channel. This will help very much.

ok
Dunno if it would be good concept (it might be confusing for user), 
but some time ago I was thinking about nested tab system. What I 
mean is - most of tabbing systems do work in a flat way. It is kind 
of primitive. But - sometimes you might want to use the same navigational 
keys for more complex styles, typically subpanels, grids.


What we recently got (and can be seen with e.g. style browser) is, 
that e.g. tab panel can be tabbed. Then arrow keys do switch between 
tabs. What I had in mind was to be able to press enter, to nest the 
tabbing, so that you "enter" the subpanel, and esc to escape back 
to the upper level (this part might be tricky for users, not sure 
about it - they might feel being locked inside of some style).

Any ideas?
Recently we use tab  key .... maybe it is good enough, I don't know 
- first tab tabs to the subpanel, next tab tabs to its first element. 
When at least subpanel tabbably position, next tab moves to next 
style ...
btw - will there be added visual representation to field tabbing 
too? It feels a bit inconsistent the way it is ....
Also - I noticed that with field button, arrow down-up moves to the 
first/last position - it does not work like this in Windows. What 
it does (in opposition to current R3 GUI) is it hilights the whole 
text ...
ctrl-tab should be implemented in low-level for moving between tabs 
...

Henrik: view [button] works just fine
Henrik: just the style-browser.r3 script doesn't seem to work for 
me

ssolie, there must be some style causing the error.

Does:

make image! 10x10 work?

ssolie: the problemyou have is that OS_GOB_To_Image() is not implemented 
in A109...You need A110 to get that functionality working.
ssolie: well, the OS_GOB_To_Image() is even not yet in 'official' 
A110. I can provide you the changes so you can merge it to your A109 
if you want.

Henrik: yes, make image! 10x10 works fine
Cyphre: I'm willing to give it a try.. it is becoming some kind of 
patched up monster so I hope Carl passes over the official A110 soon 
;-)

load-gui references Carl's old GUI but you need to manually load 
Henrik's Gui

This looks like you are using the /Core version no? Where did you 
download the 2.100.110.3.1?
Andreas
22-Nov-2010
[4358]
You'll need a "/View" build of A110, such as:
http://94.145.78.91/files/r3/gui/r3.exe
http://94.145.78.91/files/r3/gui/r3lib.dll

Mine is of the same version as Kai's. I hope the core and view versions 
do not share the same version number.
