World: r3wp

The only place show-native is called separately from is - 'hide-tooltip 
...

who wrote the above SHOW function?

(I was unable to reproduce the stack overflow)

I was able to not only repeat the VIEW CHILD twice, but even ten 
times without any stack overflow

I don't know, it is taken from your latest build?

I just hope I don't have mess on my HD :-(, I have several versions 
here to study, even Carl's one ...

I am certainly not using that one here, will have to discuss it with 
Cyphre

it's taken from the source/view-show.r3

I am just wondering - it will cause a stack overflow at each show 
call. I wonder - show is not called the first time? How is that it 
crashes the second time?

I will unpack the sources again ...

aha, sorry, you may have the correct one

hmm, it really seems to be in r3-gui-src.zip ...

But, anyway, it is strange, that I am unable to reproduce your findings

ok, then I have maybe messed r3-gui.r3 .... will unpack the latest 
one ...

hmm, it's in there too ...

show-native: :show
show: funct [gob] [
    update-subgobs gob
    show-native gob
]

ok, moving home from work, later ...

So, guys, is there any new revised release in the plan? Or any explanations 
to my findings? Thanks :-)

btw - maybe more direct question - where's defined spacing between 
the elements? I mean - I run Carl's demo next to RMA's demo, and 
I think that Carl's version got element spacing more pleasant. Where 
should I look to change it?

Any pointer appreciated ...

Cyphre is ill (flu), so there might be some delays in answers.

Petr, do you have a screenshot?

We have the box-model like CSS, so there are a lot of different spacing 
things that can be defined.

ok, I'll make one right away ....

this is just first prototype of first section. I have problem making 
a panel, to work reliably ... I don't understand the space at the 
top of the panel, that is still probably buggy on my part ...

Cool... you already made good progress. Do you know the boxmodel 
graphic? I might need to add it to our web-page.

no, I don't ... just the general doc for the WIP, plus your resizing 
docs ...

I vote for the MDP docs being added into the distro, if possible 
... or their generated html variant ...

So, guys, is there any new revised release in the plan?
 - most probably next week
Or any explanations to my findings?

 - having trouble to reproduce some of your findings here, and some 
 problems are related to the parts Cyphre is working on

http://www.rm-asset.com/code/level1/r3-gui/resizing/#sect5

HTML docs are online.

regarding your layout containing the WHEN and CLICKER elements, they 
look like still being incompatible with the current resizing

(that was a note to Pekr)

I know Ladislav - I even tried to comment them out, becuase I was 
nervous about the top empty space, which can be seen in the image 
I posted.

I even took the content out, to remove it from the demo dependency, 
and tried, I posted short script, and the space is still there ...

You can see the short script few of my messages above - the spaca 
is still there. I worry, that I still don't have good understanding 
of panel content handling functions, I used:

child: make-face 'vpanel []
set-panel-content child lay
view child

or 'hpanel [break-after: 1]

You can see what I have got resizing such a layout: http://xidys.com/pekr/rebol/messy-resizing.jpg

When i close window, and call my %test.r3 again, I get stack overflow 
we discussed earlier ... Dunno, why I did not get it running the 
first time ...

CLICKER was not adapted, so no matter how hard you try, without adapting 
it, you cannot achieve good results

I think that the trouble is in make-face and how the panel is preconstructed 
.... because when I use the same layout submitted just to view, it 
works correctly ...

I am not judging the clicker, just comment it out :-)

so what, when I comment the two incompatible parts of the layout 
out, it looks normal doesn't it?

OK, just try very simple layout:

lay: [button "OK"]

child: make-face 'hpanel [break-after: 1]
set-panel-content/no-show child lay
view child

what is wrong with that?

It does just the same here - first the dialog box with button is 
displayed ... I close it ... then I do the script again, and I get 
stack-overflow ...

I use the latest r3-gui.r3

that part is not reproducible for me

(even when doing it ten times, no stack overflow)
