If you might be matching over 800, see bugzilla 16.  Depending on the

Re: Tooltip for groups

2003-11-13 Thread Thomas J McGrath III
I have completely screwed up many groups in my four weeks of using REV. 
There is no group Tooltip built-in but you could just hide a tooltip 
like window and trap a mouseEnter with show/hide tooltip field.

Problems with report-printing

2003-11-13 Thread R. Hillen
Hello list,

Last week I transferred my Hypercard Adressbook successfull to RunRev 
(Mac OSX, 10.2.8, Rev. 2.1.2).
Totay I tried to script the printJob.

I read the helpful Mail of Jan Schenkel about using the report-builder 
and studied the docs.
I made a report with some fields, linked to my Data-stack and found, 
that after setting in the report inspector all colors of each 
report-field to white (except the text color), there remains a thin 
black line on top of each field, which also appears in the printing.

Trying to print by pressing the print-button in the report-builder 
sometimes there is no printout, but after closing the stack and 
restarting it the print succeeded and showed all prints one after 
another.

In my stack, which consists of a main stack (as splash), a data stack 
and the report-stack (MyReport), I made a print-button in the 
data-stack with the following script:

  open stack "MyReport"
  hide stack "MyReport"
  answer printer
  if it is cancel then exit to top -- Cancel doesn´t work!
  send "RevPrintReport" to stack "MyReport"
  close printing
This script sometiomes works, sometimes not. What did I wrong?

What can I do so that the user in the print-dialog can stop the 
printing, if she Cancels the dialog. After "answer printer" the 
variable "it" is "Cancel", but the "exit to top" doesn´t work.

And a last question:

As I want to use some slightly different reports:
How can I duplicate the reportstack?
Thank you very much

Richard.

Hi

I've asked about this before, but as I'm desperate I thought I'd try

I have an app in an advanced state of preparation - it's been

This was the one where I had two buttons whose icons were animated
GIFs, where one of the buttons consistently stopped animating when
the two buttons overlapped. I found a fix for this, but have no idea
why it worked - I moved the animated GIFs from the card they were on
to the card which the user sees (the one with the buttons on it). I
then set the coordinates of these GIFs to (-1,-1) in order
to make sure the user never sees them. All this worked fine on all
the platforms I usually test on (MacOS 9.2.2, MacOSX, Windows XP),
but it appears to crash and/or mess up the display when run on
Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME. This didn't happen with
earlier versions of the app.
Are you absolutely sure this problem is also related to the animated 
GIFs and not a different problem? Can you test a version with the 
animated GIFs replaced with plain GIFs or just plain buttons and see 
if the problem is gone on those platforms? It would be extremely 
frustrating to try and fix the wrong problem.

backreferences in PCRE?

2003-11-13 Thread Alex Rice
I can't remember- are any of Rev's REGEX functions capable of doing 
backreferences?

Consider this perl script. It will put a "\" before any quote 
character, but only if it's not already preceded by a "\" character.

$txt = "fu\"bar askldj askld\\\"asd lakj sdkljasd\"";
print "before: ", $txt, "\n";
if($txt =~ s/([^\\])"/$1\\"/g) {
print "result: ", $txt,"\n";
}
# ./test.pl
before: fu"bar askldj askld\"asd lakj sdkljasd"
result: fu\"bar askldj askld\"asd lakj sdkljasd\"
In transcript I thought it should be :

replaceText(pStr, "([^\\])""e, "$1\""e)

Which works *except* for the $1 is used literally instead of as a 
backreference.

Strings do just fine with ASCII NUL (0) and EOT (4).  The Revolution

A few features have trouble with some values.  For example, you can't 
have a NUL in an array key.

I have seen (some versions back) NULs cause trouble in fields.  They 
mess up display and the data gotten back is garbled.  The last I 
looked, IIRC, the docs recommended avoiding any control characters in 
fields other than tab and the end of line (LF in Rev).

I don't know of a way somebody might type those.  I have some vague 
memory of holding down some key and typing digits in Windows.  I have 
not tried that with Revolution.
Typing isn't the problem for the most part - it's copy-pasting from 
other apps into a Rev field. I am going to implement pasteKey and do a 
replacetext in there - removing all the control characters that you 
mention.

I am not sure I understand.

Is this because you open a pipe to a process and that process looks 
for the EOF character instead of a close?

Or is this because it makes a mess of parsing?
Actually, it turns out the CLIPS docs were wrong- and it allows all 
characters in strings, except quotes are delimiters so must they 
escaped like \".

What happened however, did involve file IO and that's where the EOF 
caused trouble. The scenario was like this:

-- User pastes some text into Rev a app

-- Transcript handler gets the text and calls a CLIPS external function 
with that text as part of the parameter.

-- CLIPS runs, and saves it's state out to a file

-- CLIPS later reads the state in the file.

-- CLIPS finds EOF in the middle of a string and gives up parsing the 
data.

The limits, I think, to data passed to an external include the string 
being null terminated and some sort of 64K limit.  I don't remember 
whether the latter is for the entire call or a single parameter.

If the CLIPS library has a character set limitation, it would be 
reasonable to matchText() on that in any case.  I'd put that in and 
then use that to track down the source.
Thanks for your feedback Dar! I had a feeling you would be the one to 
answer this one :-)

Certainly making a "recipe" stack (i.e. a stack which has the least
amount of "stuff" in it to demonstrate the problem) is a great idea.
Several times I've enountered bug which I thought were one thing, but
when creating a recipe stack I found out it wasn't what I thought it
was.

The other thing that might help (since you say you added a logging
system) is to see what was the very last thing to happen before the
crash. If it crashed when opening a substack, try to identify which
substack. Remember that images load into memory when a stack is opened,
so if you open a substack that has a lot of images on them, they will
all load into memory.

For earlier versions of Windows, I've encountered that most crashes are
related to memory. How much memory does the 95/98/ME machines have that
you've been testing on?

Just some ideas...

Did you try forcing the animated GIFs to play by setting their repeatCounts
to -1?  Maybe something like:

[button script]
 on mouseMove
  set the repeatCount of img mySrcImg to -1
 end mouseMove

Are you sure the app has crashed?  Are you saying the app is completely
non-responsive or stops functioning at a certain point?  It is unlikely that
anything like this is caused by animated GIFs (a corrupted image can result
in a jumbled mess of rainbow looking static but this usually does not
inhibit the operation of scripts).

If you can generate the problem in a stack that contains only your buttons,
images and drag scripts, then you should be able to track down the problem
there.  Otherwise, something else is going on in your stacks/scripts.

Hi Richard,

The engine should send a menuPick to your Help menu
button, to make it easy for you to program it
cross-platform.
So in your 'Help' button :
--
on menuPick pWhichItem
  switch pWhichItem
  case "About"
go card 1 of stack "MyAbout" as modal
  case ...
...
  end switch
end menuPick
--

Hope this helped,

On the Database Query Builder, Record Set Tab, SQL query field:

3) now Rev gets stuck in an endless loop of modal error dialogs.

The problem is this code in revDBQuerySetup stack / recordSet card. The 
SQL is evaluated, causing a modal error dialog, causing the keyboard 
focus to leave the field, then reenter it the field. Then another 
closeField fires, another modal error dialog. Endlessly.

  put the cActiveQuery of this stack into tActiveQuery
  put revQueryLongName(tActiveQuery) into tObjects
  revSetSQLOfQuery tObjects,the text of me
  if revCursorOfQuery(tObjects) is not empty then
revUpdateRecordSourceDetails
  else
set the label of button "cREVDatabaseQuery[primarykey]" to "None"
disable button "cREVDatabaseQuery[primarykey]"
  end if
end closefield
So Runrev- the Database Query builder is effectively useless. How about 
a fix? I can't just comment out the handler, because then the query is 
not evaluated at all.

Re: Engine for Irix !!

2003-11-13 Thread Roger . E . Eller
I have to chime in here as well because we also develop for Irix machines. 
I have not yet been able to get any of the 2.x.x versions to even load 
past the splash screen. It loads the splash and hangs until I kill the 
process. I am still having to rely on 1.1.1 for Irix development, which is 
stable but lacking the new features (which I NEED to use there).

Thanks.

create button "test" in group 1 -- works for me
I think the key was "interactively", so I think Richard's alluding to
using a tool (like a rectangle tool) to create an object inside a 
group.

Animations

2003-11-13 Thread Stephen Messimer
Hi,

I asked this question a while back and never had a response so I 
thought I would give it another try.

What exactly are animations?  They aren't objects ...  at least I don't 
think they are.

Are they part of a card's object layer or do they float above it.

Does anyone know if there is a way to show and hide animations?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Steve

The File Menu Bug/Feature (OS X)

2003-11-13 Thread Dom
I wrote here some time ago about a File Meu problem...

i.e.: the menu items from this menu don't appear when one click on the
"File" Menu (Mac OS X)

I posted a bug report (#875) about this...
Jeanne answered that it is was not a bug, but a feature ;-)

In brief, as the "Quit" menu item is directly supported by the App Menu
under Mac OS X, the same item is disabled in Revolution's menu.

But -- I got rid of the "Quit" menu item, and replaced it with "Open"
and "Close". No luck, these menu items are not visible ;->

The final answer is that, under Mac OS X, Revolution deletes the last
two items of the first menu -- assuming that the first menu is "File",
and the items [are separator] and "Quit"; or whatever will be at that
very place ;->>

One more piece to bring to the puzzling behaviour of Revolution, along
to the "shift" in card window with "Mac OS" style menus!!!
