Re: DDE, URL helper application in Windows, how to.... SOLVED

Scott, I'm forwarding this to the list as well. The purpose of the registry settings I posted is to allow you to associate a URL protocol with an application (in this case, an application created with MC, which implements the MC External DDE server). In my case I wanted to associate a protoco

How to subscribe--again

I seem to have been unsubscribed from the list. I tried to subscribe again by putting simply subscribe digest into the subject and body of a memo to this list, but it bounced...if someone has better instructions, post them to the list and I will view from the archive. Thanks Hinduism Today Si

RE: DDE, URL helper application in Windows, how to....

The problem is that you need the EXT.dll file in the same folder as the standalone engine. This is different from MacOS where the external is actually in the resouces of the file. I had the exact same problem when I first played with standalone & externals on windows. > Further to my last email:

Further to my last email: I misunderstood the role of importing EXT.dll as a component - it seems this just binds the DLL to the stack/application. You must also include the DLL in the same directory as the application you are creating. Revised instructions below: I strongly recommend that y

MC and outside world

I am trying to use MC for student projects in building innovative ways of interacting with the outside world. I have come across serial port-based IO card called EZIO (www.ezio.com) -- there is an example stack for HyperCard but I need to use it on a Windows machine. Any guidelines for con

Further to my last email: I have now got this working within Metacard, but not yet within a stand-alone MC application. Recap: I wished to configure a Windows computer so that a url of emv:// would be handed off to my MC application. Take a look at the key for "URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol

It looks like the close sockets function does not accept the name of the socket, but the host:port pair. this would make opening multiple sockes to the same port rather difficult. can someone please confirm/deny? - Robin-David Hammond 56 Hardwick RD Ashland MASS, USA "Contrary to popular beli

Strange behavior (2.3.2)

Okay, here's my problem, maybe someone can see a problem with my logic: I have a handler (loadFonts) that makes a list of the user's fonts, sorts it alphabetically, and puts it into a button in the stack's menuGroup (titled, appropriately enough, "Text" ) . However, I keep getting an execution

MetaCard app on a server...

OK, hypothetically speaking... Suppose you create a standalone app on the Mac. And the app has a collection of data stacks that it uses, and they are in the same directory as the app. And you set the shared flag to true (via ResEdit) and you put it on a server. Now two Mac clients both launch

Re: proportionalThumbs behaving strangely

Hi Craig, Wild guesses: - Could this have anything to do with the scrollbar's "style" property? (The prop value can be scrollbar, progress, or scale.) - How's the supply of available memory when it happens? That can affect the way things are drawn on the screen. Phil Davis - Original Messa

trans pixel in rectangular btns

Has anyone noticed that standard and rectangular btns in Windows (not a problem on the Mac) have what appears to be a transparent pixel in the upper-right corner. If you position such a btn over a dark background, you'll see this odd speck. This is something new since an earlier version of M

"library" scripts?

I tried to "start using" a .mt script without success. So, I assume MC's library functionality is intended for stacks only. Correct? It makes sense. How could a text file have the smarts to do that? It's reminiscent of the scarecrow singing "...if I only had a brain." But we've seen MC do so muc
