Intermittent performance
I have a field "theWord", into which letters are added. If a mistake is made upon entry, the user is able to delete the last character of the field by clicking on a button that contains the script found below... or by employing the option key at the same time the user can clear the whole field. The problem I have is that the first time the user clicks on the field, a character is deleted. The second time a user clicks on the field then there is no response, until the user clicks a third time. I must point out that the cursor does not leave the rect of the button during these clicks. on mouseUp if the optionKey is "down" then put empty into fld "theWord" exit mouseUp end if put the number of chars of fld "theWord" into charCount put char 1 to (charCount -1) of fld "theWord" into fld "theWord" end mouseUp Any ideas why it does not work everytime ? regards John Dixon ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Does this happen when you click the button slowly? (I'm assuming "field" in the above description is a typo; if not, I'm confused.)

Re: Intermittent performance
Any ideas why it does not work everytime ? Hi John, Dar's on target: I replicated your button and field, and could delete one char each mouseUp so long as I paused between clicks. I added this to the button's script and the problem went away: on mouseDoubleUp mouseUp end mouseDoubleUp BTW, you can eliminate a statement by: on mouseUp if the optionKey is "down" then put empty into fld "theWord" exit mouseUp end if delete char -1 of fld "theWord" end mouseUp -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company "And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee." from "The Triple Foole" by John Donne (1572-1631) ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I tried with this script (is a bit shorter, lazy moi :-) and it worked fine... Everytime and with a fast response!

RE: Embedded Quotes Revisted
Ken, You suggested: answer "She said, " & quote & "I do." & quote Ohmigosh! That's very much going to work for me. Thank you so very much (and thank you, Dar, for the function tutorial...

uglification of tabbed buttons
hi, all. i notice in my stacks that my tabbed buttons no longer look like nice tabs, but instead each looks like a thin, sectioned bar with a displaced drop shadow behind them, ie, they don't look like tabbed buttons anymore, though they still work okay. something crashed the proper gui for tabbed buttons. and when i create a new tabbed button, it has the same hideous appearance. is this a bug in 2.2? or did i wreck rev somehow? i'm using latest panther mac os x. thanks. rand valentine p.s. i sent this note previously from a different email address and it bounced. forgive me if you have had to read this twice. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Welcome to Panther :-) This is the new look for tabbed buttons in Panther, you haven't done anything and there is no fix.

Re: How to ..Kiosk Application
First off - there is basically very little difference between a kiosk app and any other. The main thing to keep in mind is that the buttons and list fields must be large enough to be operated with a finger instead of the more precise mouse. After that, you need to make sure the app takes up the full screen, doesn't show any menus and always stays at the front. The second issue deals with your actual program design. I am guessing we are talking about a networked system that transfers the orders automatically to the kitchen and to a billing system. You can use an SQL database for sure, but given the relatively low amount of data contained in a restaurant menu, I would think you could just use a stack as your data storage. The structure of the data needs to be considered before you do much about the interface. Once you have your data structure, then you need to write several different applications to use it: the kiosk module for customers to place orders, the editing module for the owner to change the menu and presumably some sort of display module for the kitchen staff as well as a billing module for when they actually need to pay for their meal. Each of these will need to connect to the menu data and each order will need to be stored, at least until it has been filled & paid for. This sounds like quite a complex exercise, but nothing in it is beyond the scope of Revolution, so work out what data you need and how to store it, then take one module at a time and make it work. After that start bringing them together and debugging the communications.

There was a discussion perviously on this topic but just the start.) The solution I'm targeting for is a take out (restaurant). A bit of detail , the owner must be able to add categories and menu items or delete. The screen should have 3 columns, 1, categories i.e. main dish, side dish , beverages, deserts and so on. The 2nd column should display all detail menus of the selected category of column 1, meaning , while category main dish is selected it should display chicken, beef, duck and so on in column 2 and while touching lets say the side dish it should display all side dishes. In column 3 in a list field it should display the item and the price of the selected item line by line as a list. Now the question how do I build the screen to change the view as above create new items etc.? How do structure the layouts the buttons how do I build them and how do I save them and how do I attach the SQL to them in a way it should be possible for a owner to do it without help? Thanks very much , every bit info helps. hershrev ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hi Malte, It isn't actually a tutorial, but you might find my test stack helpful. Check out MySQLtests.rev.gz at http://www.troz.net/Rev/.

Re: Getting environment settings on Mac
It depends on your system, but basically, you can use AppleScript to get info from the System Profiler (which was called Apple System Profiler in older systems). With OS X Panther, this script gives the complete list: tell application "System Profiler" return the system profile end tell Once you get the result into Revolution, it is easy to extract the info you need. You may need to vary the script slightly if you are using another system.

problems with "send" and macosx .3.3
i'm developing a program in runrev 2.1 on macosx .3.3 (aka panther) and have noticed something weird when using the send command.. i have a multi-user network-enabled intranet program, and during the testing of the login/password everything went smoothly until i decided to use someone else's login/password combo.. all the information is being sent from the client to the server and is completely intact before the "send" command (the actually send command is being sent with the "do" command do to the complexity of it).. if i change "do" to "answer" the proper information is there, but in the receiving handler the "answer" states "false".. the receiving handler correctly "answer"s my login/password info, and it works fine when everyone else's password is the same as mine.. if the passwords are changed, it stops working.. now the really weird part to all of this is the fact that my password in the runrev app is base64 encoded and is the same as my macosx login password.. and!! if i include my password anywhere in the data being sent for the login/password (ie.. as a dummy parameter) all the other accounts work.. anyone else see this on macosx? i'll need to burn a copy and try it on my windows machines at home.. -Sean ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hintstack "Mouse Messages" of stack "/Users/judy/Documents/MSIDT_Final/FinalProjectGraphics/RevTour.rev" (a) Does something look extremely wrong with the offending line?
