Re: [Factor-talk] Desperate UI help
Also consider having your ui consist of an embedded web browser that browses to itself. Factor serves web pages and can, IIRC, embed a web browser under its control that browses to localhost.

[Factor-talk] Desperate UI help
Hi folks, I'm really sorry to have to post about this again but I'm getting flak at this point and having to consider pulling a project off Factor because of the difficulties with the UI library. Is there any way to print or trace the behavior of UI objects so that I can see why a model is behaving improperly and failing to feed its value on activation? Is there any way to allow show-menus to break the boundaries of their window, as pop-up windows generally can? Mark -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Re: [Factor-talk] Desperate UI help
Hey Mark, Have you tried the ``watch`` word to print the stack before and after calling a word? I would look at your code if you pastebin something that doesn't work. The problem with putting a breakpoint in the UI thread is that it starves the single thread that Factor runs in and the UI can't update. I'm not sure what to do about it yet. I think in general you can't render outside of your window. Does anyone know if it's possible and if it's good practice and which programs use it? Maybe we could make it an actual popup or modal?
