If your programs take command-line args, then the shell() function 
might work for you.  You can pass values by args and by files.

If that does not work out, there might be other options what will apply.

Re: put awareness

[Sarah Reichelt]

Well, I'm using "libURLSetLogField" to handle the messages.  I did 
manage to
setup a idle handler that works pretty well, but I really do hate 
using idle
messages.

Use send in time instead of idle e.g.
on checkField
  -- see if your field has changed
  -- do stuff if it has
  send "checkField" to me in 5 ticks  -- or whatever interval suits
end checkField
This is much better than idle as it doesn't hog the processor.

Calling external program?

[robert1111]

Hello,
I have just begun to learn the Revolution language on a Windows 2000 
platform.

Does anyone know how to call an external program with Revolution? I have 
numerous math routines written in a DOS Forth program, and also in a 
Windows Forth program. How do I pass parameters to and from these programs?

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Robert

Sounds like Rev got into some kind of infinite loop. I've been hitting 
these periodically myself lately. If Cmd-period doesn't stop it (and it 
doesn't always) you can usually quit by option-clicking on the Rev icon 
in the dock. Hold down the mouse on the Rev icon, and when the menu 
appears, hold down the option key. That changes the "quit" menu item to 
"force quit". Usually you have to choose "force quit" twice; the first 
one isn't enough to kill it.

You still lose all your work, but at least you don't have to launch 
terminal. Not much consolation, I know.

Very often when this happens, what you'll find is that the script debug 
window is open, buried under a bunch of other windows, and waiting for 
you to dismiss it. I've had this happen so often that it's become 
second nature to me to make sure the debug window isn't open before I 
hit the panic button. Almost always, that's the problem.

RR needs to do a better job of this. The script error dialog is

Maybe you need this:

If there is a chance the function might not exist, then you might need 
to wrap it in a 'try' structure.

Maybe, like this:
function applyNamedFun0 funName
   try
 get value(funName&"()")
   catch e
 get empty

I may have missed the point; I don't see what this has to do with

Make an oval graphic and call it "circ", then put this into the card

  put the mouseLoc into centerPoint
  hide grc "circ"

on mouseMove x,y

You can modify as needed to show or hide the graphic when you want. HTH.

(sorry; I'm no programmer)
Since I am a geek this is hard for me to do and I might fail, but my 
comments might help a little.

It is possible to build a custom function as well as a custom command.  
Unlike a custom command a custom function can be used in an expression. 
 This is because it generates or returns a value.

Consider this in a button script:
on mouseUp
   put next(5)
end mouseUp
function next x  -- returns the number after x
  return x+1
end next
This will put 6 into the message box.
Just as the definition of the custom command "mouseUp" starts with 
'on', the definition of the custom function "next" starts with 
'function'.

Just as the custom command "mouseUp" has a name, the function has a 
name.  The function name is "next".

It takes one parameter; it is named x.
It returns a value.  The return command takes an expression.  In this 
case it is x+1.

When next() is called it is passed the value 5, which becomes the value 
for x.  This is added to 1 and returned.  Thus the command in the 
mouseUp handler gets the value 6.

This can be applied to the quoting function.
In the example, q() is called with the value "I do." which becomes the 
value of the parameter named 'what'.

The value of 'what':
I do.
The constant 'quote' is equivalent to a string containing a single 
double quote character.

The value of the expression in the return command is this:
"I do."
Thus the answer command is equivalent to this:
answer "She said, " & quote & "I do." & quote
The line in the answer dialog box is this:
She said, "I do."
Since I am a geek, I am probably leaving out some crucial component for 
understanding this.  I may have paid the cost to learn that component 
long ago and have forgotten what it takes to understand that.

Judy,

Since I'm the one that wrote the q() function I thought it would be
appropriate for me to respond. As you've discovered, sometimes Rev is very
flexible about the use of quotation marks when referring to different
things, and sometimes it's not.

For example, if you had a field named "Data", you could script:

  put 10 into fld Data

and you'd get the number 10 in the field. This is Rev's method of
interpretation... if something *looks like a variable*, it is first
evaluated to see if it *is* a variable. If not, it looks to see if there's
an object by that name. So whereas this:

  put 10 into fld Data

should work, this won't:

  put 50 into Data
  put 10 into fld Data

Because by the time it gets to the phrase "fld Data", Data is now a variable
containing the value of "50", so Rev interprets this as:

  put 10 into fld 50

And if you don't have 50 fields on your card, you'll get an error. However,
when you *use* quotes, all the ambiguity disappears... Rev knows to look for
an object named appropriately, so:

  put 10 into fld "Data" 

will always attempt to find the field named "Data" so that 10 can be put
into it.

My q() function is a shorthand way of adding surrounding quotations marks to
a string to help aid in resolving these kind of ambiguities, and to be used
in circumstances where you can't have multiple quotes in a string. The
example I provided:

  answer "She said, " & q("I do.")

would bring up an answer dialog with the string:

  She said, "I do."

In order to get the quotes around "I do.", you can't just do this:

  answer "She said, "I do.""

because Rev will display an error as it doesn't understand the "internal"
quotes. No you *could* do:

  answer "She said, 'I do.'"

but you wouldn't get double quotes around the phrase "I do.", you'd get
single quotes. So in order to provide those quotes around the phrase, you
need to either provide the constants for them, as in:

  answer "She said, " & quote & "I do." & quote

or use a function like q() which takes a non-quoted string and returns it
with quotes around it, as in:

  answer "She said, " & q("I do.")
  
  function q what
return quote & what & quote
  end q

or you can use the format() function in Rev which does the same thing but
requires that you *escape* the quote by preceding it with a backslash (\),
as in:

  answer format("She said, \"I do.\"")

Escaping the quote makes sure that Rev doesn't choke on the "extra"
quotation marks, but properly understands how to implement them.

So when you're building your scripts, suppose the user selects "mouseUp"
from Button #1, and then (since I don't really know what's in Button #2, I'm
making it up) selects "answer" from Button #2 and is asked via an ask dialog
what they want to answer. Let's suppose they type:

  Hello there

into the ask dialog and click OK, and you want to make sure the assembled
script ends up looking like this:

  on mouseUp
answer "Hello there"
  end mouseUp

So if we assume that the script is assmbled as they go, and after they've
chosen and responded to the "answer" selection that the "end mouseUp" is
automatically added, the scripts are like this:

-- Script of dropdown #1
on menuPick pChoice
  -- pChoice is something like "mouseUp"
  put "on" && pChoice into fld "Script"

  -- Then store that choice so we can automatically end the handler
  -- after selecting from dropdown #2
  set the uSelectedChoice of this card to pChoice
end menuPick

-- Script of dropdown #2
on menuPick pChoice
  if pChoice = "answer" then
ask "What do you want to answer:"
if it is not empty then
  put "answer" && quote & it & quote into line 2 of fld "Script"
  put "end" && (the uSelectedChoice of this card) into line 3 of fld
"Script"
end if
  else
-- handle other choices here
  end if
end menuPick

Hide task bar tabs?

[RGould8]

I've got a Revolution application for Windows that I'd like to run 
"invisibly".   So far, I've been semi successful by setting it's properties to 
"hidden", 
and setting the stack's visibility to "false".

What I'd like to do, however, is make it so that when Revolution does need to 
"pop up" a window, that the Windows task-bar at the bottom of the screen 
doesn't display a the tab for my revolution app.   What's really interesting is 
that my Revolution app has a main stack, and a substack, and when they both 
display, I get 2 tabs listed in the task-bar. (the substack displays an asterick 
next to it's name).   Is there a way to suppress this Windows task-bar display 
update, so that when my Rev app does a "visible of this stack = true", that 
the taskbar at the bottom doesn't change?

Hi All,
Has anyone given any thought or scripting time to exploring what it
would take to draw a circle that is centered over the loc of the
original mouseDown?
In the course of public presentation I would like to project a map
and allow people in the audience to identify an area on the map by
drawing a circle around it with a mouse.
Using Transcript's oval tool the loc & shape of a circle change as
the mouseLoc changes.  I want the effect of a perfect circle growing
or shrinking around a fixed point as the mouse recedes from or
approaches that point.
At the moment, the approach I'm contemplating involves:
1.  Drawing a minimal circle on mouseDown
2.  Changing the oval tool's ink (or visible property?) to make a new
invisible oval.
3.  On mouseMove change the width & height of the original circle to
the distance between the mouseDown loc and the current mouse loc
4.  On mouseUp delete the invisible oval.
Anyone have any comments or a better solution to offer?
TIA.

Embedded Quotes Revisted

[Judy Perry]

Hi again,

Same project, new dilemma (but the other ones were solved, Thanks!).

Again, what I'm doing is making a slightly interactive
presentation/introduction to Rev for school teachers.  It's trying to
explain what what Rev is, what it can do, and how to make it do things
(hence my pseudo-Message Watcher etc.).

The current dilemma involves embedded quotes.  I have a card that tries to
walk people through writing a simple mouse event handler.  Button#1 is a
drop-down with the four mouse messages previously presented.  Button #2
has four sample commands (things like opening up a URL in a browser,
showing a text field, disabling a button and playing an embedded sound
file).

Both buttons are to send text to a pseudo script editor window (text field
within the graphic of a script editor window, actually) to assemble the
handler.  Button#3 is the button that the user has just "assembled" with
its script coming from the text field within the phony script editor
window graphic (thanks, Brian or whoever helped me out with that one!).

Problem: things that don't require embedded double-quotes (like
enabling/disabling the target button) work great.  The others don't for
obvious reasons.

I searched the archives and found one answer that involved CLIPS (?) and
using a slash; the other was something involving using a function from Ken
Ray which I don't really understand:


answer "She said, " & q("I do.")

function q what
  return quote & what & quote
end q
===

Is there anyone who can translate this from geekSpeak to normalHumanSpeak?
(sorry; I'm no programmer)

I suppose I could use a global variable and manually script the 16
possible combinations but am hoping for a more humane solution.

Thanks,

Judy

New pricing for Dan's Revolution book

[Kevin Miller]

Hi,

Dan's excellent guide to working with Revolution, Software at the Speed of
Thought, is now available at a new reduced price.  The printed book is now
just $37, a $10 reduction.  To order, visit our online store:

http://secure.runrev.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SST
P&Category_Code=RM&Store_Code=RROS

Also, a quick update for the community:

As part of our drive to focus clearly on our core business - of building,
maintaining and publishing the best possible Revolution product, we've
suggested to Dan, and he has agreed, that it would be best to put the
production of Dan's next books on hold while we look for a mutually
agreeable publishing company to take those forward.

The only implication that you might want to be aware of is that we will be
slowing down the publication of the new e-book chapters somewhat while this
search is going on.  We'll probably release one every month or so for the
moment.  To make up for this slow down, we'll be making the new chapters
free to members of Dan's e-community, and making the printed books free to
those members when they come out too.  If you have any comments or questions
about this, please [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Dan directly.

Kind regards,

the mouseLoc changes.  I want the effect of a perfect circle growing
or shrinking around a fixed point as the mouse recedes from or
approaches that point.

At the moment, the approach I'm contemplating involves:

1.  Drawing a minimal circle on mouseDown
2.  Changing the oval tool's ink (or visible property?) to make a new
invisible oval.
3.  On mouseMove change the width & height of the original circle to
the distance between the mouseDown loc and the current mouse loc
4.  On mouseUp delete the invisible oval.

Anyone have any comments or a better solution to offer?

TIA.

Drawing a "Centered" Circle

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,
Has anyone given any thought or scripting time to exploring what it 
would take to draw a circle that is centered over the loc of the 
original mouseDown?

In the course of public presentation I would like to project a map 
and allow people in the audience to identify an area on the map by 
drawing a circle around it with a mouse.

Using Transcript's oval tool the loc & shape of a circle change as 
the mouseLoc changes.  I want the effect of a perfect circle growing 
or shrinking around a fixed point as the mouse recedes from or 
approaches that point.

At the moment, the approach I'm contemplating involves:
1.  Drawing a minimal circle on mouseDown
2.  Changing the oval tool's ink (or visible property?) to make a new 
invisible oval.
3.  On mouseMove change the width & height of the original circle to 
the distance between the mouseDown loc and the current mouse loc
4.  On mouseUp delete the invisible oval.

Anyone have any comments or a better solution to offer?
TIA.

RE: [ANN] Analize Binary Files

[Ken Ray]

This look interesting, Alejandro, but how do you use it? The top half looks
somewhat straightforward (although the radio buttons didn't seem to do
anything(?)), but I'm not sure about the bottom half...

Thanks,

Reading the width and height of a SWF movie

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi Developers,

I've made this a simple handler for reading the width 
and height of a SWF movie, i'll like to know if
it works ok in Linux and MacOSX:

on mouseUp
  answer file "Select a SWF movie:"
  if it is not empty then
put "binfile:"&it into cvb
put it into vfile
   
if char 1 to 3 of url cvb is in "CWS,FWS"
then
  put char 9 to 20 of url cvb into mki
  
  repeat for each char n in mki
put chartonum(n) into nbv
set the numberformat to 
put (baseconvert(nbv,10,2) + 0) after cdf
  end repeat
  
  put char 1 to 5 of cdf into xsd
  delete char 1 to 5 of cdf
  set the numberformat to 00
  put baseconvert(xsd,2,10) into xsz
  
  repeat 4
put (baseconvert(char 1 to xsz of /
cdf,2,10)/1920 * 96) & comma after vft
delete char 1 to xsz of cdf
  end repeat
  
  put vfile & return & "Width: " & item 2 of vft &
" pixels" & space & "Height: " & item 4 of vft & "
pixels"
else
  answer "I do not recognize this file as a SWF / 
movie!"
end if
  end if
end mouseUp

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

Here's a nice little free stack to keep track of your RunRev session logs to
ease the pain of tracking problems...

http://www.monsieurx.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=147

The stack could use a few more features and graphics but it serves the
purpose...

Comments, bugs and ideas are welcome.

Cheers
Xavier
