Re: [racket-users] Re: gui widgets over canvas

Thank you, Alex.  I'll take another look at using `panel%` that way.  (I wasn't sure that would work well on all platforms, because its own implementation has special-cases for its stock subclasses, which conceivably might be necessary on some platforms.) Regarding scrollbars, I might end up a

[racket-users] Re: gui widgets over canvas

I can think of two options which only use the functionality that is currently available in the racket GUI library: One option is to use a `pasteboard%` instead of the `canvas%` and use an `editor-snip%` for the text input, with the snip being moved where you need it. This solution will be limite

Re: [racket-users] Scribble text included out of order

What's happening here is that Scribble is designed around sections as the primary document organization, and it treats everything in "testmain.scrbl" as being in the initial section, and then adds an additional section for "testsect.scrbl". If you put `@section{}` on a line before "bar bar" the you

Re: [racket-users] Re: Alternative UI toolkits

XUL itself is deprecated/dead.  There might be an interesting (but niche) Racket opportunity with WebExtensions, and you might want to wait to see how they decide WASM fits into that, and what Racket's WASM story becomes. Also, bit of gut-feel speculation... There's some odd noises/rumblings

[racket-users] gui widgets over canvas

For a million-rows spreadsheet GUI widget that's based on a canvas, and wants to overlay a single normal widget like a `text-field%` at a time, over the canvas, for cell value editing... what's the best way to get that overlay to happen in Racket `gui`? One idea: in the implementation of `pane

Thank you, Roman. For those who don't know, `gir` potentially lets people use many of the libraries behind the Gnome GUI desktop environment that's popular on GNU/Linux and other places.  It does FFI to the GObject object system that backs those libraries, and perhaps also uses the metadata no
