2012-06-18 Thread Kieron Hardy
Hi all, I have a GUI with a couple of frame% windows, and I cannot minimize them. Overriding on-activate and printing a message, shows that frame% attempts to minimize at first (i.e. on-activate is called with activate? value #f) - but then immediately gets re-activated (i.e. on-activate is recal

In "define-struct" and "struct", should I be able to provide both "#:constructor-name" and "#:extra-constructor-name"? Both of the following programs give me an error on the last form, under Racket 5.2.1. Program #1: #lang racket/base (define-struct myc (field1) #:constructor-name mak

Re: [racket] MrEd-Designer crash with null ptr-ref

2012-06-18 Thread Kieron Hardy
For this particular project, MrEd-Designer will crash as the frame is being created for display. Usually this is after some sort of 'major' change where MED cannot simply tweak the existing display (e.g. after some sort of delete from or paste into the widget hierarchy rather than some change to a
