Have it respond to button-down or button-up gestures, and use the hand-loc variable to get the mouse location. Render the board in a method on the draw-gadget* generic word. The extra/tetris demo provides a good example of how to do basic UI tasks such as these. Bear in mind that it was one of the first demos we had, and some of the code in there could be written better with newer Factor idioms. but in other GUI toolkits I've worked with, button widgets work pretty well for this kind of thing, so I thought I would start by taking the border-button gadget and giving it a raised appearance.

Factor's button, slider and labelled gadgets -- all the ones that use .tiff images to render borders, etc -- are not really skinnable like that. They're not designed to be used with any images other than the default theme. However, note that you can reuse button gadgets, with your own button-pen.

Re: [Factor-talk] Newbie question on customizing gadgets
Ok, I think I found a way to do what you want. I don't think you really need tile-pens. Here's the pen I used : : my-pen ( -- pen ) vocab:demineur/flat.tiff vocab:demineur/pressed.tiff [ image-name image-pen ] bi@ dupd dup dup button-pen ; Then I created a button with it : : my-button ( -- button ) Click it [ Clicked.. replace-text ] button my-pen interior ; The problem with this is with the text's transparency. The default implementation sets it to M: gadget gadget-background dup interior pen-background ; and for the image-pen that we use, it defaults to : M: object pen-background 2drop f ; which means no transparency So you have to change this method either for the pen or the button; I did it for the button : TUPLE: my-button button ; M: my-button gadget-background drop transparent ; and my-button becomes : my-button ( -- button ) Click it [ Clicked.. replace-text ] \ my-button new-button my-pen interior ; Hope this helps :) Jon Harper On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 3:01 AM, Matt Gushee m...@gushee.net wrote: Hi, Jon-- On Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:22 +0100, Jon Harper jon.harpe...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, did you get any help with your problem ?

Hi,
did you get any help with your problem ? Here's what I could come up with..

Hello, folks--
First post, sort of (I made an attempt to learn Factor early last year,
and didn't get very far, but now I'm trying again--maybe this time I'll
reach escape velocity).
As a learning exercise (and maybe an excuse to have a game on my laptop,
which thus far has been free of such distractions ;-) I am trying to
implement the classic Minesweeper game. So, for each cell in the grid, I
need a gadget with the following characteristics:
* At least 2 visual states, clicked and un-clicked, typically shown
with a raised or flat appearance
* Left-click and right-click event handlers
buttons handle all clicks the same way : (from button.factor)
button H{
{ T{ button-up } [ button-clicked ] }
{ T{ button-down } [ button-update ] }
{ mouse-leave [ button-leave ] }
{ mouse-enter [ button-enter ] }
} set-gestures
T{ button-down } handles any click (it's like T{ button-down f f f } ).
Left clicks are T{ button-down f f 1 } and right clicks T{ button-down f f 3
}.
I'm not sure on how to go from there; Maybe subclass button and copy/paste
it's gestures and add a line that handles the right click...?
* The ability to display an icon or a character, and to change the icon
at runtime
you can change a button's text with the following word
: replace-text ( button text -- )
[ drop children pop drop ]
[ label add-gadget drop ] 2bi ;
I'm not sure if buttons are always supposed to have 1 child or not though..
It doesn't appear that there is any existing gadget that has all these
characteristics, and I'm not sure what would be the best one to
customize, but in other GUI toolkits I've worked with, button widgets
work pretty well for this kind of thing, so I thought I would start by
taking the border-button gadget and giving it a raised appearance. I
created 3 TIFF images the same sizes as those used by the plain tile pen
of the button pen of the border-button gadget. Then I created a new
tile-pen using those images and new BG and FG colors, and assigned them
to the plain slot of the button-pen.
The result does indeed look different from the default, but it also
looks different from what I expected, and quite ugly. I thought I would
keep looking through the docs for an answer, but I'm just getting lost.
I can post my code if people want to see it, but I think the real
problem is not really a programming error, but rather that I don't
understand how the various images and colors are used in constructing
the button.
So can someone explain how border-buttons are rendered (noting that,
while I am reasonably familiar with 2D graphics terminology, I do *not*
understand OpenGL [I've tried to learn it, failed, maybe try again
someday, but not today, please])? Or perhaps provide a working example
of gadget customization?
Thanks for any all info!
