I haven't used it extensively yet, but so far 2.0 hasn't given me any problems under Windows except for when it initially tried to find a CD that wasn't there (and that went away on reboot). My lack of problems combined with not wanted to grab a new full install over my 56K dialup have kept me from upgrading. If I'm a typical Windows developer, that might explain it the lack of response.

In due time I'm confident spam legislation will become international law. As with the Berne agreement for copyrights, it won't guarantee an end to the problem, but few spammers are based in third-world countries (the greatest volume comes from the US), so it seems reasonable that spam can be contained from its current 45% of all email traffic down to a manageable 10% or less.

Textfield BorderColor bug..?
Hi list, RR team There is still in the 2.0.1 my good old borderColor fellow... We (I think Sara to..) have described it some times ago. But I will do it again... FOA this happens only on OSX. There is no such an effect on WIN.X or OS9. (I did not check it on Linux) It happens even if you open a 1.1.1 stack with text fields or a new stack and make a new textfield open stack make textfield all 4 border are grey the top border has a shadow (double line) open tool palette basic properties checked: visible, share text, opaque, focusable, focus border, show border, auto hilite, fixed line height (no matter what you change the problem remains) tool palette change to colors and patterns select the textfield click on btn borderColor (here rev crashes if you try to drag the color from the OSX Color palette to the btn borderColor hanging until you close the OSX palette, but thats another thing..) select a color lets say green, click ok Than: the border looks like double colored grey and yellow (border with 2) change that to border with 1 and the green color is gone... But the line on the top looks only grey, because its double or shadowed if you set the border with than 2 than it becomes green to... Once I got an effect where all 3 lines changed to the color green only (no grey shadow) only the one on the top was grey But I cant reproduce that... RR Team, I m waiting so long now for the fix of this bug. Pls have a look at this. Its not only very ugly, the borderColor is really important...

Re: What about the bug in MenuBuilder on 2.0.1?
Francios, From the What's New.txt file included with the Revolution distribution: quote ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THIS VERSION --- Compatibility issues --- - OS X applications now automatically delete the last two lines in the first menu of a stack's menu bar. This is to prevent duplication of the Quit application menu item in the OS X Application menu. (Normally, the first menu is the File menu, and the last two menu items are a separator line and Quit.) This lets you use the same menu bar for all platforms without breaking user-interface guidelines for OS X, which call for the Quit menu item to be in the Applications menu and not the File menu. /quote This is the complete explanation for what you are seeing. If you have removed the separator and the Quit from your first menu, the last two items remaining will still be removed. leave the separator and the Quit there and everything will be fine. If you have to put another menu in that place, just add 2 dummy menu items at the end to get around this feature. Cheers, Sarah [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.troz.net/Rev/ Sarah, shame on me!

template objects--and nothing else!
This is a weird one. I started editing a stack I've been working on. I go to draw out a new field. The cursor changes to cross hairs and I drag out the field. Only nothing shows up on the card. I look at the Property Inspector and it's labeled the templatefield. When I click on a button in the tool palette, the property inspector changes to the templatebutton. If I click the graphics tool, the PropInspector changes to the templategraphic. Strange! Since these are all virtual objects, I can no longer add any objects to my stack. If I click an existing object, the property inspector shows the appropriate info. I *can* duplicate an existing object to add something new to my stack, but if I don't already have this kind of object, I can't add anything new! If I create a new stack, and click a new tool, the property inspector still says the template(object) but as soon as I go to draw the object, the propInspector changes to the right kind of object. Then if I click another tool, it goes back to the template(object). Anybody have any idea what's going on here?

Win95, Win2000Pro RunRev 1.1.1, RunRev 2 I'm putting together a tiny primer on using send. If I can verify this, I'd like to pass on the warning. Do you have a simple script or stack that illustrates this? I have seen some engine or OS housekeeping work done at certain times such as in a wait. Also, if you keep the pendingMessages cluttered with ready-to-run messages you will not get events processed. Perhaps the problem you have seen is related to these. Maybe when the app was in the background the messagePending queue filled up faster than it emptied. There are a few things that can be done to keep messages from swamping an application. When starting a state machine, test whether it is already going and either let it be or stop it and then restart it. When the period is not critical in sending to self, send at the end of the handler, not at the front. If the period is critical, then keep it and all message handlers fast. When using read from socket ... with message, consider a way to choke the messages, perhaps by having the read send a delay before the next read.

In OSX the background should have a subtle stripe, but it is plain white even though the tab panel has the stripe. I tried adding a stripe from the standard icons to the background, but in the built application it is still blank. If I add the stripe to the foreground then everything turns an ugly gray. In addition to that, I cannot seem to add an icon to finished application during the build process. When I select an image file, the compiled application shows a generic application icon for OSX and if I do not select an image file I get the revolution icon. What am I doing wrong?

At 10:16 pm +0200 10/6/03, Andre Rombauts wrote: Thanks Dave: working...! But anyway can someone give an example of HTTPHeaders usage? When you use get or post with an http url, the libUrl library script constructs a minimal set of headers. For example, if you use the following command: get url http://192.168.123.7/cgi-bin/echo3.mt; this is the request that is sent to the http server: GET /cgi-bin/echo3.mt HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.123.7 User-Agent: Revolution (MacOS) The first line is the request line. The 2nd and 3rd are the headers. If you wanted to change the User-Agent header to your own custom name, you could do this: set the httpHeaders to User-Agent: DavesApp 1.0 get url http://192.168.123.7/cgi-bin/echo3.mt; and the request sent to the server will look like this: GET /cgi-bin/echo3.mt HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.123.7 User-Agent: DavesApp 1.0 Setting multiple header lines is done in one go like this: put User-Agent: DavesApp 1.0 into tHeaders put return Connection: close after tHeaders set the httpHeaders to tHeaders get url http://192.168.123.7/cgi-bin/echo3.mt; The request will look like this: GET /cgi-bin/echo3.mt HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.123.7 User-Agent: DavesApp 1.0 Connection: close (The Connection header asks the server to close the connection immediately after the respone has been sent.) The standard http headers are described in the http rfc. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html In addition, you can create custom headers which you can use in custom web applications. A CGI script on the server can respond depending on the value of a particular header. For example: set the httpheaders to MyAction: newSessionKey This would have no effect unless the server or server script were specifically looking for this header.

Re: Custom Cursors
Klaus, Thanks for your response... It only took me an hour to find out that your solution doesn't work in 2.0.1 :-( Lucky me, I kept a copy of 1.1, and that did the trick :-)) Tnx Ton Is there anybody out there who can explain me how to create my own cursors for use in Revolution? here, me, here!!! ;-) I know how to use PhotoShop, but I don't see a way to get the 1-bit artwork into RR with a transparent background :-(( Make a b/w image (16x16 pixel) of your cursor on a separate layer, just to keep transparency... Then Save for web as gif, 2 colors, check transparency... Then import this image as an embedded image. Now here's the final trick :-): Open the paint tools. Choose the brush or the eraser tool Click on your image ONCE and IMMEDIATELY UNDO your action! This way that image will be converted to RR internal image-format and can then be used as a cursor wihout problems... on preopenstack ## or whenever set the defaultcursor to xxx ## the id of your cursor img ... end preopenstack I did it before and it works like a charm :-) Color cursors are not supported and the project is to complex to move an image across the screen simulating a custom cursor. Any help is welcome... Warm regards, Ton Kuypers Hope that helps...

Re: Textfield BorderColor bug..?
Hi Paul, In OSX the background should have a subtle stripe, but it is plain white even though the tab panel has the stripe. I tried adding a stripe from the standard icons to the background, but in the built application it is still blank. If I add the stripe to the foreground then everything turns an ugly gray. The stripe only appears if your stacks are set to a mode other than topLevel i.e. modal, modeless or palette. The way I got round this was by setting the mode to one with stripes and snapshotting a small square. When I want stripes, I now import that image into my stack and set the backgroundpattern to it. In addition to that, I cannot seem to add an icon to finished application during the build process. When I select an image file, the compiled application shows a generic application icon for OSX and if I do not select an image file I get the revolution icon. I haven't managed this either, but IconComposer that comes with the developer Tools has been recommended. Also, my project is 100k, but the application is 3MB, is this normal. This is normal. The standalone includes the complete Revolution engine plus any library stacks you may have chosen to include: printing, internet, geometry, cursors, icons etc. Cheers, Sarah [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.troz.net/Rev/ ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Textfield BorderColor bug..?
Hi list, RR team There is still in the 2.0.1 my good old borderColor fellow... We (I think Sara to..) have described it some times ago. But I will do it again.. Yes, I have mentioned this before. open stack make textfield all 4 border are grey the top border has a shadow (double line) tool palette change to colors and patterns select the textfield click on btn borderColor (here rev crashes if you try to drag the color from the OSX Color palette to the btn borderColor hanging until you close the OSX palette, but thats another thing..) select a color lets say green, click ok Than: the border looks like double colored grey and yellow (border with 2) change that to border with 1 and the green color is gone... But the line on the top looks only grey, because its double or shadowed if you set the border with than 2 than it becomes green to... Once I got an effect where all 3 lines changed to the color green only (no grey shadow) only the one on the top was grey But I cant reproduce that... You can change most of the borders if you set the shadow color, but as you say, the extra thickness at the top stays grey no matter what you do. The only other option is to turn off 3D. Then the borders show the border color, not the shadow color, but still with a weird grey line at the top. My major problem was with the focus color being dark grey but now it is the standard OS X aqua, which is fine by me although I would have thought that setting the focus color in Revolution should have over-ridden this.

When I select an image file, the compiled application shows a generic application icon for OSX and if I do not select an image file I get the revolution icon. What am I doing wrong? I had this problem, too, and discovered that the icon library must be checked before building the distribution. (I'm still on RR1.1.1 and OS 9.2). Might that be the problem?

filepaths for multiple builds
Hi all I'm trying to build standalones for mac and windows and I have a problem. I am developing in MacOSX. I have a large number of images which I access by filepaths. I don't need to specify the hard drive in MacOSX just the file name on the hard drive (/river?).but when I access them in OS89 I need to indicate the hard drive name (ie /Macinosh/...as well. I'm not sure what I need to do for Windows? I can see that I could use an if then to change the filepaths to fit the operating systems. But how can I find out the operating systems for the scripts? A second question is an odd behavior I see when I change the image by changing the source filename. Sometimes there is a blank area which isn't drawn, not the whole image but just the bottom 10%. If I go to another card and return the image is complete. It isn't a empty field or any other object. No big deal, but it is a puzzle. Any ideas?

Is revShowPrintDialog Working Yet?
Hello folks. I'm just now trying out version 2.0.1 and was wondering if the above function is working yet? IIRC, this was broken in version 1.1.1 and no print dialog box ever appeared no matter how the controlling button was set. I tried out my old stack in version 2.0.1, but I still don't get any dialog box. I checked the docs and the syntax seems to be unchanged from the earlier version. Has anyone had any success in getting this to work? TIA, joe. p.s.

How does 'Auto-complete' mode work ? If you type ctrl-# then the word with that number will be inserted. Example: - if you type 'on mouseU' - then you'll see '1. mouseUp 2. mouseUpInBackdrop' - now type ctrl-2 and the script editor will finish typing the word 'mouseUpInBackdrop' for you. 2. select the command/function/keyword in question, and use menu 'View' item 'Look up selection in Transcript dictionary' Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. = As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time.
