Re: MySQL help
Hi Larry, I haven't time at the moment to give you a detailed answer, but if you download the stack MySQLtests.rev from my web page, you can follow how to firstly connect to a database and then get data from a query using that connection. If you need any more help after that, please ask. Cheers, Sarah [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.troz.net/Rev/ On 15 Jul 2004, at 8:01 pm, Larry Koscianski wrote: I new to Revolution.

Re: focus color and osx
Hi Sarah Reichelt: Note that although this system setting is used and cannot be overridden by a setting in Rev, the system highlight color setting is used by default but CAN be overridden by your own setting. Is there a way to retrieve this OS X system hilite color? In a plist or something? I would like my fake lists (a graphic faking the hilite!) to use the currently selected system hilite color, too... Yes, get the hiliteColor when your app or Revolution first starts. It is set to the system hilite color on startup. GREAT!
