different windows in the same stack

[yves COPPE]

Hello,

I've tried to go to different cds in the same stack but don't reach my goal :

I'd like to go to some cds of the stack "as modal"
and some other cds of the same stack "as toplevel"

go to cd "one" of stack "myStack" as modal


when I'm on this cd, I have a btn with this script
go to cd "two" of stack "myStack" as toplevel


It makes problems.


Is it possible to do such a thing ?

Greetings.

Starting with Mac OS X 10.2, there is an ODBC Administrator app in 
/Applications/Utilities. I haven't used it, but would be *very* 
interested to hear how it goes and if you get Rev. working with ODBC on 
OS X.

The only time I've used ODBC before was on Windows and am familiar with 
setting up DSNs there. But on Unix/Mac OS there seems to be a panoply 
of different ODBC drivers and layers. Not sure where to start!

Re: SQL connections

[Bernard Devlin]

I use this script in the onMouseUp event of button that gets a connection:

  put revdb_connections() into connectionList
  if connectionList is empty then
put the text of button btnDbType into DbType
put the text of field fdDsn into Dsn
put the text of field fdUsername into Username
put the text of field fdDsn into thePassword
get revdb_connect(DbType,Dsn,"",Username,thePassword)
wait 3 seconds -- not sure if it needs to wait as long as this
put revdb_connections() into connectionList
if connectionList is empty then
  answer "problem connecting to specified datasource"
 else
 set the cpConnNumber of field fdDsn to It  
 -- here the connection number is stored as a custom property so it
can be grabbed when needed
end if
  end if

You will need to configure the Dsn (ODBC DataSource Name).  I know how to do
this on Win2k and Linux, but not on OS X.  It means you will need to have ODBC
drivers for the database you are using (unless you are using MySql, Oracle or
Valentina - in which case I believe you can make use of the connectors supplied
with Rev.)

Here is the code you can put in a handler to take the SQL from a field, run it
against the ODBC connection, and display the result in another field:

  put the cpConnNumber of field fdDSN into theConnection
  get revdb_querylist(comma,return,theConnection,field "fdQuery")
  put it into field fdResultset

Hope this helps.

NEW! Eps Import version 03

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi everyone on the list!

Download the new version of the utility stack
EpsImportV03p from:

http://ffc.virtualave.net/revEpsImportV03p.zip
http://ffc.virtualave.net/mcEpsImportV03p.zip

This version is a whole step closer to bring
more of the Adobe Illustrator files to Revolution and
MetaCard.
Now you could import linked Png, Gif and Jpg images
from your designs. There are checkbuttons that give
you options for locking the screen, flip the graphics,
group the objects imported (images and graphics),
import the graphics as outlines (without fill colors),
 import graphics with their color fills, import all
graphics and linked images and select your own folder
for the linked images. And other options for importing
"placed" png images.

If you download version 02 of this tool, you'll like
better version 03. (Tool itself only 50k, but download
zip file is 315 k with the samples files)

I've created a Revolution app that launches Internet Explorer.  This is
fine, except that it puts IE on top of my Rev app.  My Rev app is only 200
pixels wide.  What I'd like to do, if possible, is have my Rev app appear to
the left of the IE window - - - My Rev app would be at the very left edge of
the screen, from 0 - 200 pixels, and then I'd like for IE to be positioned
from say, 210 pixels and beyond, to the right-edge of the screen.

Does anyone know if there's a way to do this?  I know how to position the
stage of my Revolution app to just the correct position.  I'm assuming I'd
have to use some sort of Applescript calls to position IE.

Way to ensure Rev app stays on top?

[RGould8]

I've created a Revolution app that launches Internet Explorer.   This is fine, except that it puts IE on top of my Rev app.   My Rev app is only 200 pixels wide.   What I'd like to do, if possible, is have my Rev app appear to the left of the IE window - - - My Rev app would be at the very left edge of the screen, from 0 - 200 pixels, and then I'd like for IE to be positioned from say, 210 pixels and beyond, to the right-edge of the screen.   

Does anyone know if there's a way to do this?   I know how to position the stage of my Revolution app to just the correct position.   I'm assuming I'd have to use some sort of Applescript calls to position IE.

Re: Picture Brightness on Windows

[Trevor DeVore]

Scott,

I implemented this technique and it worked great for what we needed.  I 
had a slider that would change the blend of a white image between 100% 
and 80% in order to make the image look lighter.  Thanks.

There are also ink effects that can be employed to achieve other color

display a
translucent white overlay for values from 0 to +100, and black for 0 to
-100. With some experimentation, you might be able to achieve what you 
need.

Re: UPC or Barcode Scanners

[Ray Bennett]

I use a WASP USB barcode scanner in a HyperCard application that I'm 
porting to Rev.  Haven't ported it yet, but see no reason it _shouldn't_ 
be straightforward.  The trick is that the scanner is programmable. 
Meaning that you can program it to send a preamble (read, "handler 
name") when it reads a code.  For me, I just named the preamble "wasp".  

Then, in my Home stack (main stack in Rev), I have the handler  "on wasp 
barcode".  

When you "gun" a code, the barcode reader sends keyboard input that 
looks like this:
   wasp "Francis Bacon 125"

I put the "on wasp" handler at the top of the hierarchy so that all of 
my substacks could avail themselves of it.  

Hope this helps.
Ray

Re: usage of "this"

[Rob Cozens]

Hope this helps, check out Rob's original post and sorry for stealing your
brain-work Rob.


That seems like the answer, but I just checked and my dynamicPaths 
properties are set to false in both of the stacks. Or do you think I 
should be running with dynamicPaths set to true?

Jim, Alex, et al:

If it's the answer, I've no problem with others sharing it; but the 
dynamicPaths issue seems to deal with cards, not stacks.

Also, related to the revdatabase.rev example (from the Revolution

to send  a graphic object  that is on a card to a  DB?

Hi,

We will be taking everything offline at 1:30PM this afternoon UK time
(that¹s in about 45 minutes) for anything up to an hour for essential
maintenance.  We need to rearrange some aspects of the server to be certain
that we don't have a repeat of the problem that took the server down for a
few hours the other day.

Kind regards,

Sending large files to Runrev

[Heather Williams]

Greetings,

Some of you may have noticed that if you sent a message to runrev or the
lists a day or so back, it returned to you as temporarily undeliverable.
This was owing to an unfortunate incident with some *very* large files
somebody unexpectedly sent us. Our server was unable to cope. We think all
the delayed mail has now arrived, and no mail was permanently lost.

We would be grateful if, before sending any unusually large files, you
checked with the recipient first. We can always make arrangements to receive
something big if we know it's coming.

Whilst waking up to a completely empty inbox makes a refreshing change, it's
not something I'd like to experience every day...

Regards,

Heather
