Re: listBehavior problem

[Geoff Canyon]

You should be able to prevent this by placing a field (that can receive 
focus) on a (lower|higher) layer than the listbox. I think it's lower 
layer.

Thank you.

Re: determining members of group

What's the syntax for determining the members of a group?  It isn't 
referred to under group properties in the Reference stack, or in the 
Concepts and Techniques stack under Groups topic.  Might be a good 
thing to make more obvious if these stacks are being revised.

For me the following syntax options are most intuitive (but don't work):

    members of group x
  objects of group x
    elements of group x
    buttons/fields/players etc of group x

inside group script:
    the members of me
    my members
    etc...

Could someone please refresh my memory before I go mad...

Metacard CGI's

[Michael Crawford]

 > Does anyone have any other suggestions about how I could get this to work?



You may be able to create an ordinary library stack with the image-creation
objects and routines... then within your script:

start using stack "imageLib"
makeImages()

In limited tests, I've found this to be the way to do stack-specific work
from a CGI script.

HTH,
Brian



Thanks Brian,


I have done what you have suggested and have tried using a library 
stack. However it still seems that I can not get any properties of 
the image in the library stack that require a GUI.


For example:

put the size of image "cup" of card id 1002 of stack "library.mc" into wot
return wot

gives a result (eg 53882) but

put the loc of image "cup" of card id 1002 of stack "library.mc" into wot

gives an internal server error.

I've never seen this in any version of MetaCard. The only thing I can 
think of is that somehow the message box has become toplevel, and you 
have a script somewhere that deletes a field (or else you manually 
delete a field) and since the message box is toplevel, the deletion 
happens there instead of in the stack that was intended.

defaultStack?

Re: Message box field deleted

[Ken Ray]

Fred,

You see "Message Box (debug)" whenever you open the message box while the
Script Debugger is open. It allows you to examine and/or evaluate global
variables, etc. while debugging a script. I don't know why you might be
deleting the Message Box field, though...

Re: answer printer

[Klaus Major]

Hi NIcolas,


Am Sonntag, 12.01.03 um 15:29 Uhr schrieb kweto:



Hello,
 
For the "answer printer" command, is there a way of capturing the 
user's response? Before printing a card  users of my stack have the 
option of setting the paper-size via their particular printer's 
settings, and since the modal printer selection dialog includes a 
"Cancel" button (at least my printers do), I'd like to honour that 
option. But, as it is now, even when I click "Cancel" the stack still 
sends the job to the printer.
 
One work around I. tried was to attempt capturing the user's "Cancel" 
response in a way similar tothat of the answer command, i.e.,
 
  answer printer
  if it is "Cancel"  then exit doWhatever

try:

...
if the result is not empty then exit...

Should work in ANY language ;-)

(The result would be "cancel" :)
 

FWIW, I thought that, since I'm deploying on a Japanese OS 
(Win/Mac), the response word ought to be the Japanese equivalent for 
"Cancel" -- which I tried, but no go.
 
Thank you.
 
Nicolas Cueto

Message box field deleted

[FMoyer]

Has anyone else had this problem? Every once in a while, the field in the 
message box is deleted. I can't figure out what I am doing to delete it. 
Obviously without that field, the message box does not work. If I catch it in 
time, I do the "revert" command, otherwise I have to overwrite my present 
"mchome.mc" with my backup "mchome.mc". 

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? Could it have 
anything to do with the fact that the title on my message box is "Message Box 
(debug)" -- what is the meaning of "(debug)"?

I am using Mac OS9.2 and MC2.5B1, but the field also got deleted twice while 
I was using 2.4.3

Thanks
