Great, thank You!

i just tried that out on windows. No-gui-repl option works now, but if
there is some error in REPL, it does not provide Lisp-like restart
options, but throws a Java Exception instead and leaves snow repl
altogether.

i tried with: (make-var x)

That's interesting to hear :-) Especially if the applications would be
portable on mobile devices...

In regards to SnowFX: What the old snow code be portable without any
big modifications?

it works, i can connect to the instance running snow, but there is no
REPL and other slime facilities in emacs.

could You maybe provide content of Your .emacs file or give me some

Hey,
sorry for the late reply and thanks for your perseverance :) I've been
a little too busy lately. I noticed that on Windows Snow didn't even
build; I have fixed it on trunk and verified that I get a REPL with a
working debugger (though I didn't test Slime because I haven't it
installed on Windows). I can't do a new release right now, but if you
don't mind using the development version from SVN, chances are that it
will work fine on Windows, too.
Also, the new web-based SVN browser is now working on common-lisp.net.

As for SnowFX, whether it will run on mobile devices or not really
depends on ABCL; currently, it requires a 1.6 JVM supporting
reflection and dynamic class loading. I don't know if Dalvik meets
those requirements, but I seriously doubt an unmodified ABCL would run
there. And the iPhone doesn't even have any form of Java available.
That rules out the biggest share of the mobile market. That said,
maybe Oracle will push JavaFX (and thus JavaSE) on mobile devices
enough to change things a bit.

Cheers,
Alessio

No hurry. i am using linux at home, so no problem. i was trying some
things out at work, where i am using windows so that's why i noticed
that.

Ok, yes it's a bit more complicated...

P.S.: When you will be adding ComboBox, could you maybe also add radio
buttons? i think that will better suit my requirements... Or you don't
plan to add anything until JavaFX is released? :-o

Subject: [Snow-devel] Snow indentation
Message-ID: <BANLkTimsR=NW7dTpUNsobW-wTALOJN9nCQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Alessio

How do i configure indentation in emacs / slime so that it behaves and
looks like specified in the documentation. In the docs i see that the
widget macro calls indent similar to DEFUN. like:

(frame (...)
  (text ...)
  (button ...))

What i am getting is:

(frame (...)
          (text ...)
          (button ...))

Any help is appreciated,
Matus

Message-ID: <BANLkTinQxyuJOD1NpwSrD=GEt_3C+BqJVA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Alessio

i am having troubles using the size property. it just doesn't work as
i want. so far it seems to be working only with frame widget.

What i basically want is a scrollable non-editable text area of a specific size.

Here is my test code:

(frame (:size #C(300 300))
 (panel (:layout "wrap")
   (label :text "1")
   (label :text "2")
   (label :text "3" :layout "wrap")
   (label :text "2" :layout "span 2 2")
   (label :text "2" :layout "wrap")
   (label :text "2"))
 (scroll (:size #C(100 100))
   (label :text
"looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong"))
 (show self))

i tried various options, but did not succeed. Size in frame works, but
not in scroll.

Your help is appreciated,
Matus

Size is a naughty beast in Swing. There are multiple variants of it:
actual, minimum, maximum, and preferred size, and how they work, if
they work at all, is determined by the layout manager. For MigLayout,
the default used by Snow, the easiest option is to forget about the
size properties altogether and use layout constraints, in your case:

(scroll (:layout "w 100, h 100") ...)

or width/height instead of w/h if you prefer longer names.

Hi

Is automatic line wrapping supported? For example for the label widget?

What i want is a scrollable (vertical) automatically line wrapped
non-editable text. How do one do it in snow?

i have seen that some Swing classes have a boolean property like
setLineWrap(true). Is this implemented in snow? Or can one achieve it
via miglayout constraints?

Thanks
Matus
