Didn't understand a word of this, could you translate it into German
perhaps, or Spanish?

 I have recently tested cmc.exe on IIS (Windows NT 4) and MetaCard CGI on
 Apache (Linux). Both offer similar CGI interface and portability.
 The echo.mt file provided on MetaCard web site ran well on Linux, though the
 NT version need some minor tweaks to get it works flawlessly.
 
 Could you, please, send me it too, as far i have sometimes to do with NT4
 Servers...

The new cmc.exe is now compatible entirely with the echo.mt script, so it is
not necessary to teak the file.

 The DLL interface to IIS is similar enough to Apache mods that it
 should work the same way.  Of course, we're not considering doing
 either of these things because it'd be a lot of work and you'd end up
 with something less useful than just writing a little client/server
 system and running MetaCard as a separate server, or just using mchttp
 instead of or in addition to another HTTP server.
 
 I guess so, but this requires a dedicated server, and an imaginative SysOp,
 while the Apache Module can be installed on a wide variety of commercial
 shared hosting solutions, and all the SysOp has to say is "oh yeh, Apache
 module. Fair do." -:)
 
 Yeah, right ;-)  I think your recent experience trying to get a sysop
 to install even libraries that are distributed standard with the OS
 should tell us that the response is far more likely to be "oh yeh,
 Apache module.  Tough cookies: we have a standard configuration for
 all our servers and there are no exceptions".

Except of course they did have a standard policy for installing an "Apache
Module" for $20.

Actually I'm making that up, it was for "non-standard perl libraries", which
as far as their technical support went was pretty close to a take-away pizza
-:(

This isn't a feature request, but as a bit of politics/marketing you could
probably stand for President if you got Metacard to be a CGI solution for
"the rest of us".

But then again real programmers, don't stand for President - right Scott?

Re: Translations

2001-02-20 Thread Pierre Sahores

Jacqueline Landman Gay a crit :
 
 I need to find translations for a few words in German, French, and
 Spanish, used as labels for buttons, but I don't trust the translation
 engines on the web. I am sure that anyone familiar with these languages
 could provide translations for me in under a minute.
 
 Could anyone who knows any of these three languages please contact me
 off-list? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

RE: Scrollbar issue?

2001-02-20 Thread Monte Goulding

Hi

Not the problem (already been discussed): The scrollbar has changed on Win32
so that it remains active with a full thumb when the formattedheight of a
field are less than the height.

The problem: The scrollbars of a group do not do the same thing. They still
do what the did before. This doesn't look good when you have a group and
field nextto each other. How do i make a group have the same scrollbar look
as a field?

Any help would be good

Thanks

Monte

On commandkeydown prob...

2001-02-20 Thread ScottYang

I've not been successful in using the 
on commandkeydown
on controlkeydown
on enterkeydown

I have no problems with 
on arrowkeys or
on keydown

in the stack script.  Basically I want to make sure that any key that is hit by a 
toddler on the keyboard is registered and a hidden button is clicked.  So far command, 
option, alt, control, shift on mac and pc leaves a toddler sitting there twiddling her 
thumb.

Printing text fld only

2001-02-20 Thread Eduardo Volpi

I assume that the print card command will print all the content of a card
(text fld, buttons,graphics,etc).
I say "assume" because I have never used the print command before and right
now I have no printer to test it.

In case I'm right, could someone please provide a code to print the "content
of a text field only".

Thank you

Eduardo

Which key is down?

2001-02-20 Thread John Kiltinen

I have a button on a stack which, when pressed, opens an answer dialog
offering the user three options, "A", "B", or "C".  I would like to speed
up the process by allowing the experienced user to bypass the dialog by
holding down the key for one of these letters on the keyboard while
pressing the button, which will result in going directly to the chosen
option.

Surely this is easily done, but I can't figure out how.  I've experimented
with the keyDown message, but holding a key down for awhile sends multiple
copies of this message, analogous to getting repeated a's while holding the
"a" key down when typing.  This will complicate matters.

I've noted that while a button does not normally accept the keyboard focus,
if its autoarm property is set to true, it will.  Thus, a keyDown message
could be sent to the button.  But my problem is that I haven't found the
secret of telling WHICH key is down.  (There ought to be a function that
gives this information, but what is it?)

Assuming I can tell which key is down, will there be any problem
coordinating the processing of keyDown and mouseUp messages by the handlers
for this button?

This ought to be an easy exercise for anyone who knows MetaCard well.
Help, anyone?

RE: Which key is down?

I'm not quite sure that this is the answer you want but the keydown handler
has a parameter that is the key pressed. on keydown x will put the key
pressed into x
