The mouseControl function
_-- Message: 14 Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2003 14:31:15 +0200 Subject: Re: Hiliting a listfield line as I type? From: Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi yoy, Rob, That's EXACTLY the behavior (Scroll To) I want! But... how do I read the scripts? One smart solution ;-) is to use the messagebox: Type: edit script of the mousecontrol DON'T hit RETURN yet!!! Instead positon the cursor on top of that menubutton and THEN hit RETURN... I am puzzled by the way in which the mousecontorl function is implemented. For example, the following handler in the message box repeat until the mouseclick put the mouseLoc comma the mousecontrol end repeat returns the mouseLoc continuously as I move the cursor over the screen, but the mousecontrol depends on where the mouse was located at the time the return key is hit. And the mousecontrol value remains fixed at that initial control as the mouse moves. I would have expected the mousecontrol value to be continuously updated as the mouseloc is. And the documentation is puzzling: if the mouseControl is button 2 then set the cursor to hand It appears that mouseControl returns something like: control 2 or control 5, but never button 2 or button 5. I guess Clinton was right; it depends on what the meaning of is is. It seems that RR is flexable on this matter. For example, control 3 is button 2 would return true if button 2 is in layer 3.

Way to insert text where cursor is in field?
I'm sure I must be overlooking something simple - - - - What I'm trying to do is have a text field that detects when the user presses the character "*", and when they do, it replaces that "*" with a bitmap graphic. (Using the imageSource call). I've got the below code which _almost_ does this, except that it replaces all the astericks except the one that the user just pressed. The trick here is that the user can click and put the cursor anywhere in the text field, so it's not like I can just add an "*" to the last char of the field and swap it out. I somehow need to find out the position in the text field where the cursor is, and add the asterick, and THEN run the "refreshnotes" handler. on keydown theKey if theKey = "*" then refreshnotes end if pass keydown end keydown on refreshnotes put the number of lines in field "notes" into temp repeat with x = 1 to temp if line x of field "notes" contains "*" then put the length of line x of field "notes" into linelength repeat with y = 1 to linelength if char y of line x of field notes = "*" then set the imageSource of char y of line x of field "notes" to "checkbox" end if end repeat end if end repeat end refreshnotes ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Paint Tools
Hi, Is there a manual on using the Paint Tools? Can't find it referenced in the Documentation. Actually is there a Rev manual or how-to book that covers drawing graphics? I have a HC script that draws geometric patterns according to math calculations. Works great in HC but the pencil tool does not draw in Rev (or if it does I can't see the result).

Re: HC to R question
WA, You offer an interesting suggestion. Thanks. Every card fld Card Name has data so I don't know what might be gained by examining each card then marking it. There aren't that many cards in each stack. With HC anyway the restriction is 32k characters in the IndexField which lists all the cards by name and ID. Rev has a higher fld limit so this restriction is lifted. On these newer computers speed of execution doesn't pose an issue. Even with adding in a sort cards of stack line it takes about 1/2 (or less) of a second to complete this script. I will try your (option : sort lines of index1 by item 1 of each), that might improve general UI performance.

Here is a quote from the Documentation: If you try to paint with the pencil on a card that has no images, an image the size of the card is created to hold the painting. If the current card already has one or more images, painting outside the image has no effect. So on a new card the pencil will draw on a created image. But on this imported card the image is either not being created when initiating the draw or something else is (not) happening. The card already has an image which holds the fld names, b, e, d and a (imported this way). So do I somehow create a second image? Or maybe I can show the fld names and delete the existing image?

A Rev-Database used from different OSes
Hello list, I´m working with my co-workers in a mixed environment: Windows, OS9, OSX In former times (before Rev 2.0) I built some little databases using a splash screen as mainstack and a database in a substack. Building the standalones for Mac OS, Windows and OSX I crossed in the distribution-builder Move substacks into individual files and Create folder for substacks data. So I got for each OS a folder with a Program (=standalone of the (splash) main stack), say Main_Win, Main_OS9 and Main_OSX and identical folders Data with the substack inside. I then copied the three Main-Programms together with a Data-Folder in a common folder to our shared NT-server, so all could use the database from their OSes. Now with Rev 2.0 there is a problem with OSX. If you build a standalone, the Distribution-builder builds a package with the database-substack inside. So I can´t use my method as written above. I think, the possibility to build a package is ok, but I would like to have also the old arrangement with data-folder outside the package. Do you know a solution for this problem?

Re: Scrollbar oddity
Listers, Have a possible bug in the scrollbars. I have a window which displays thumbnail-sized pix-- 2 columns by 3 rows-- that is, six pictures are displayed at one time. The user can mark any pix by a checkBox under each picture. He can then switch between the main database and the marked list by flipping a toggle. The problem is than if the user selects less than 7 pix, then flips to the marked list and then back to the main list, the lineIncrement and the pageIncrement go wonkie. The scrollBar sez it's set to 5 and 76, repectively! Selecting 7 or more pix will normalize the scrollBar. Any ideas? on setTheScrollBar global gLineInc,gPageInc -- gLineInc is set elsewhere at 152 put the number of lines in fld ed.thePixDB into theNum put 6 into numOfPix ## in the display put ((theNum) + (theNum mod 2) - numOfPix) * gLineInc into theEnd if theEnd gLineInc then put gLineInc into theEnd ### less than 6 pix to show set the startValue of part thePixScroll to gLineInc set the endValue of part thePixScroll to theEnd put 2 * gLineInc into theLineInc ### to scroll properly 'cause it's 2 pix wide set the lineIncrement of part thePixScroll to theLineInc set the pageIncrement of part thePixScroll to gPageInc ## put theLineInc , gPageInc ## should be 912,304 but becomes 76,5 if number of pix 7 !! set the thumbPos of part thePixScroll to gLineInc ## set the thumb size put (gPageInc/numOfPix) + (theLineInc/4) - gLineInc into theThumSiz set the thumbSize of part thePixScroll to theThumSiz ## show how many marked record put 1 of theNum records into fld theCount scrollThisList gLineInc ### reset to top of scroll end setTheScrollBar Ray G.

problem positioning a sub stack using globalLoc
I have a sub stack that I want to open when a user clicks on a list of words. I'm trying to position the sub stack right over the top of this list of words, which are in a group called Key Words. Obviously I can't use the location of that group, since it's relative to the main stack and not to the screen. So I thought I'd try the globalLoc function, which seems to return the correct value when used in the Message Box, but not when I use it in a script. I copied and pasted this line of code put the globalLoc of (the loc of grp Key Words of cd Prediction of stack RNStories) directly from my script into the message box, and the returned values are not consistent. Is there a better way to do this? How can I set the loc of a sub stack so that it covers an object in my main stack?

Re: Launch command alternatives?
launch myDoc with myApp It fails if myApp is already open. Hi Andy, What are the symptoms of failure? According to Transcript Dictionary, If the application is already running, the launch command does nothing, and 'Process is already open.' is placed in the result function.; so you should be doing something like: launch myDoc with myApp get the result if it is not empty and it is not Process is already open. then answer Launch failed. -- Rob Cozens, CCW Serendipity Software Company http://www.oenolog.net/who.htm And I, which was two fooles do so grow three.
