Re: Sort, Find, RawKeyDown ... / diacritical problems.
Le jeudi, 6 mars 2003, 06:35 Europe/Paris, erik hansen a crit : how about Scandinavian? See my post (yesterday 10:58 western european). I tried to make a complete account of the problem. For scandinavian, as far as I know, I suppose you should do theese conversions: = azz, = = ozz, azzz, thorn tzz, edh dzz the other diacriticals ignored ( u, for instance) and or course lower case = upper case. If you are dealing with many languages you can write a function handler with a language parameter. I found it more convenient to directing the program to language specialized sub-handlers, rather than using complicated inbedding IFs. If you would like a copy of my post just ask. I didn't want to bother everybody in the llist by reproducing my long mail. You also can download my Polylexis from my iDisk public folder, and see how the system works with 9 different languages.

tab key doesn't work...
Any idea why the tabkey would stop moving from field to field? I can't get it to work inside a field either (going to next tabstop). I've got a couple nested groups I'm working with.

RE: tab key doesn't work...
Well, after some careful dissecting, I ended up doing the following to get this all to work. created a temp btn on mouseUp repeat with x = 1 to the number of controls on this cd set the traversalOn of control x to false --170 controls! end repeat end mouseUp Then I carefully ungrouped (not a good idea to store scripts in groups!) each group, reordered the tabbed elements and set their traversalOn to true. Got it working the way I wanted (thankyou RR for the Alignment palette reorder function) then carefully grouped it back together using a very light touch on the mouse and crossed fingers. It appears that the MC engine can get confused by nested groups and going in and out of them a lot. I launched the same stack in MC and had the same problems. -Chipp ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: windows, memory and how the heck do i debug crashes
I have a fairly complex application that is well-behaved on OS X (10.2.4) and well-behaved on OS 9.2.2. On Windows, 98 and XP, the application crashes with irregularity. I think have isolated it to times of intensive paging, pardon the pun. Specifically, if I do a lot of go to card x, get some data, change some other data depending on that, then come back, make some changes on this card, then go back, etc The stacks I'm building on the fly approach 10 MB pretty frequently. The standalone will just quit (graceful Windows abort, not a hard crash). Two things to checkL 1. Try turning your display's hardware accelleration option off. 2. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your display. I've been making Win standalones on my Mac for years, and in the few cases where I've had mysterious behavior, one or both of the above have taken case of it in nearly every case. They may not be at the root of your issues, but they're worth trying. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.2: Publish any database on any site ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: sentences as items
I don't know if this will work with itemDelimiter, but I used this trick in version 2.0 with the new lineDelimiter property. It worked well. What I did was put a special character at the end of each sentence (NumToChar(160) on Windows and NumToChar(202) on Mac). This character looks just like a space when displayed on screen, but it isn't really a space. Then I set the lineDelimiter property to that character. It worked perfectly. You might be able to do the same thing with itemDelimiter. Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot, Chris. I think that's exactly what I need. But, pardon my ignorance: how do you insert these special characters? Also, if you're using Unicode and you set the useUnicode to true, is there a corresponding Unicode character that does the same trick and that I could then use in both Mac and Windows versions?

Re: sentences as items
Well, first let me say that I am very new to Revolution. It just so happens that I was working on a similar problem yesterday, and this is how I solved it. So I thought I'd share it. :-) It is entirely possible that there is a better solution. As far as inserting these characters, you can do it the long way like I did and copy the character to the clipboard and then paste it into your text. Are you using external text files or static text in a field? You could probably make the process a lot easier by writing a small script that would search through a block of text, locate any sentence-ending punctuation (., !, ?, etc.) and then insert the special character after the punctuation. I haven't done this yet because I was just trying to throw something together to show my boss, but I'm sure it would work. Keep in mind that it will look like a space when on the screen, so you may also have to remove existing spaces at the end of sentences. As for the unicode thing, that's a little beyond my skills at this point. Sorry. Maybe someone else on the list can address that one.

Trap/script for arrow keys?

[Announce] Rev Navigator 2.5: Drag and Drop
An update to Rev Navigator is now available at http://www.inspiredlogic.com/navigator The biggest two changes for this update are: 1. Drag and Drop support. This is a major advance. You can drag and drop to set the layers of controls or cards, move controls into or out of groups, copy controls, groups, or cards from one stack to another, and to place a group (background) on one or more cards. NOTE: removing controls from a group and putting them back in might cause you to lose non-shared properties like the hilite and field contents. Use at your own risk. 2. Support for MetaCard. Change the file extension and open Navigator in MetaCard. It should take care of inserting the scripts it needs to function properly. This feature is still experimental, but seems to work pretty well. Also added is a stack list view, a custom property menu, select stacks by pointing at them, rename bookmarks, and more. For anyone who's not familiar with it, here's the note on Navigator when it first came out: - Navigator is a plugin I developed to make it easier to work with controls, properties, and scripts in Revolution. There's too much to list in an email, but briefly: -- Navigator displays lists of Revolution objects: stacks, cards, groups, and controls. -- The list can show the controls on the current card of the topStack, or of any card or group of any stack. -- You can bookmark references to any controls, and color-code the references. You can mix and match bookmarks any way you like. -- Navigator allows you to edit scripts, set properties or run code against any list of objects. For example, you could select controls from several different stacks and set the visible of all the controls to false with one command. -- Navigator makes it easy to work with controls that aren't normally accessible: controls in groups, hidden controls, controls on hidden stacks, controls that are in different places, controls that are in palettes or non-modal stacks. -- Navigator allows you to do things you wouldn't ordinarily be able to do: align controls that are on different cards, for example. -- Navigator makes you a faster developer: edit the scripts of controls on different cards quickly and easily; change any property with a single menu selection rather than using a palette; go to the handler you want to edit in a long script with a single command. Finally, I should mention that Navigator is, as far as I know, the only Revolution plugin that supports plugins of its own ;-) Text files with executable Transcript can be used within the Navigator plugin. This is a beta release. Navigator should work on all platforms, with Revolution 1.1.1 and 2.0. If you have any problems, let me know. http://www.inspiredlogic.com/navigator regards, Geoff Canyon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
