Hi Krzysztof,
I'm planning to test g_numbox.c (make sure it works ok on NT and OSX) and if I can't see any reason not to, just to use it. One thing I haven't looked at is how Thomas Musil (who wrote it) is dealing with font sizes...
I also have to think about the problem of everything seeming to have two names... shouldn't be necessary...
I don't like auto-resizing very much (although I have to use it myself sometimes) -- it might make it harder to port to a future toolkit. I had forgotten about alt click, thanks for reminding me about that one..
cheers Miller

hi,
-noadc problem is gone, and resampling works great!
What bothers me now, is that among the new sources I found g_numbox.c (not merged yet). Is this one going to replace number box we currently have? I hope not...
Anyway, I checked [my_numbox] aka [nbx] (compiled as an external) and found it to be very useful -- especially the ability to have it really big and in colors. Also log-scale feature is nice, but I think it needs to be adjusted to work better if used as a `fader' connected to [*~ 0] (replacing [gatom]->[dbtopow]). I mean, when tracking mouse movements, it better be more mouse-friendly and use pow(10,0.1) as a base, i.e. 1.25892541179, instead of current radix 1.01.
Another problem is hardcoding of a default font size to 10pt, instead of consulting a canvas with canvas_getfont(canvas_getcurrent()) call in creation routine (making this right means also calculating a height value, instead of using hardcoded default of 12 pixels).
There is no auto-resizing and no alt-click (at least alt-click can easily be borrowed from gatom code).
There is also a small bug in my_numbox_list(). Arrow-movement, as it seems, applies to a
ghost' object, or, strictly speaking, there is no attempt made to redraw the object (thel' flag variable handling should be corrected).Btw. why do we need all those class creators for gui objects? After all there is only _one_ namespace for internals, externals and abstractions. We have now: bng, hsl, hslider, hdl, rdb, radiobut, radiobutton, tgl, toggle, cnv, my_canvas, vsl, vslider, vu, and many more comming. They are stored with short names in patch files, so what is the purpose of the longer names? Moreover, virtually nobody types them in, but rather uses menu/shortcuts to put them on a page.
