Re: [noob again]static text
I think the difference he was referring to was a point that I find is often confusing to newcomers to Revolution. Static text should logically be placed into a Label Field. If you create a Label Field, there's no obvious way to change its contents because it does not allow direct editing. You have to open its inspector, switch to the Contents pane of the inspector, and type the text there. Just to make it more interesting ( :-) ) you then have to switch to the Text Formatting pane to format the text you just typed or use the Text Menu to do so. It's pretty darned non-intuitive. IIRC, static text fields in HC could be directly edited. Why Rev doesn't allow this in the IDE is beyond me, but I've grown accustomed to its face.

Re: [noob again]static text
Here's the confusion, and it's definitions. There is NO static text tool in Hypercard. There IS a Paint Text tool in HC, so I assume that is what you mean. There is a full set of paint tools in Rev, too, except for Paint Text (click the disclosure triangle at the bottom of the pallette). There would be no need for paint text, as Rev has actual label fields. Paint text in this context would not be that useful, as it would have to commit to 72 dpi, and the text fields use the font outlines which of course scale to the output dpi. Much cleaner text output. Paint text would be very jaggy on paper. sqb Actually, in HC one could, by choosing the...static text tool...create static text.

All values are from a rawkeydown handler. - the key straight under the escape key (qwerty `/ ~ or §/± or something else depending on which qwerty you use) will give a 0 value on mac os x when an american qwerty keyboard layout is chosen but not with another keyboard layout. - help key on mac os x gives value 268762986 instead of 65379 (win vpc) - the numlock key on mac osx x enters a char in the field when focused and editable: numtochar(27) - the values of the numeric keyboard on mac differ from these of win !!!

Dear Ken Dick, In fact, both versions work just fine, IF the intial startRolling command is sent to my text field from an outside message source, such as the a button or the message box. send startRolling to fld topic text But the need to use a button to get things started, kind of defeats the intuitive nature of the original concept. After all, if you need a button to start, why involve the field at all? You could just use the button to start, stop and resume the scrolling. So, is there any way to the initiator into the field script AND to get the scrolling to stop and resume with alternate clicks?

I think you may be thinking of HyperCard's paint text. Once entered, it was not editable. Revolution doesn't have a paint text feature, so we use locked fields instead. This renders better in printing and remains editable. It was the same in HyperCard if you used a locked field for static text. To edit the text, you had to unlock the field, edit, and then relock it. Revolution provides a shorter way to do this via the property inspector's contents pane, but if you prefer you can still do it the old HyperCard way.

Here's the basic .vbs script, with placeholders surrounded in double angle brackets : Set wso = CreateObject(WScript.Shell) Set link = wso.CreateShortcut(PATH_TO_SHORTCUT_FILE) link.targetPath = NEW_TARGET_PATH link.save Now put that into a custom property, and then when you need it, retrieve it, replace the placeholders with real file paths (remember to convert the /-delimited paths that Rev uses to \- delimited ones for Windows), and then run it like this: on ChangeShortCut pPathToShortcut,pNewTargetPath replace / with \ in pPathToShortcut replace / with \ in pNewTargetPath put the uVBScript of this stack into tScript replace PATH_TO_SHORTCUT_FILE with pPathToShortCut in tScript replace NEW_TARGET_PATH with pNewTargetPath in tScript runScript tScript end ChangeShortCut on runScript pVBS set the hideConsoleWindows to true put C:\temp.vbs into tTempPath put pVBS into url (file: tTempPath) get shell(cscript.exe //nologo tTempPath) send delete file quote tTempPath quote to me in 1 second -- this gives enough time for the script to run before you delete it end runScript -- Of course, in retrospect, you could *always* just delete the old shortcut and create a new one with 'create alias'... but it's your call...

Identifying the caller
Folks, I really should know this by now, but when a handler is called, can its script identify its caller and if so how? I guess there is some context description available but I don't know how to find it in the docs. And while we're at it, what if the invocation of the handler is the result of a send, e.g. send mouseUp to myMouseUpHandler Can I tell from within the handler that it wasn't a true mouse click that invoked it, and if so how?

Re: more rawkeydown problems
Hi All, If crossplatform uniformness is not your piece of cake then please don't read this mail. But for those who really need to process keyboard input here are some more keyboard anomalies to check. snip These are tests on a apple usb keyboard. May be there will also be differences on laptop keyboards. If someone can test and confirm the above then this can be bugzilla'ed. I'm not sure it is a bug, it is just the differences between operating systems. The Rev engine just passes on the key codes that the operating system sends. If you have the MC IDE, see the Character Chooser in the MetaCard Tools menu for examples of these differences. Sometimes you can use the macToISO and ISOtoMac functions to translate between the character sets, but I don't think those functions work with non-ascii keystrokes. For anyone wanting to test what rawKey codes their keyboard gives, here is a utility I wrote ages ago to do this: http://www.troz.net/Rev/RevProjects/KeyCoder.rev.gz While differences between keyboards operating systems are annoying, the keys you are checking are mostly available using other messages. In NumLock is on, the numeric keys generate arrowKey messages and if NumLock is on, the number can be read directly in a keyDown or keyUp handler.

cursed
I have recently been plagued by a number of disturbing problems in Revolution. Suddenly, I have been getting all sorts of weird errors. I have been cursed. This started spontaneously this morning, and isn't stopping. These are some of the problems: The Error box pops up at random times, but it is completely empty, just an empty box that says RevErrorDisplay. Not even any old errors. Since my stack doesn't use any send messages or pending messages, this shouldn't happen. Changing tools in the tool box doesn't work. You sometimes have to click a lot of times just to get from Browse to Select tool. Also, in the Objects menu all of the items are grayed out. Why? When closing Revolution, you have to close each of the windows. I mean, once you click the main close box it should close everything, right? But I have to individually close everything. The toolbox stays on the screen and doesn't disappear, I've had to use alt-F4 to close it. The weirdest part is that when you open up the message box, all the time you see this message in the lower part. Got here. No script of mine does this, and it is there before you even open a stack. For now I will try replacing all of the component files and see if that fixes it. If anyone knows what is going on please help me.

Re: Serial and then some
Hi Tom, The problem is that you are asking for specific instructions about something that can be incredibly varied. Serial comms can be used for such a vast number of things that it's like asking for instructions on how to make a phone call. Do you start by saying Hello? Do you wait for the person on the other end to say Hello? What if they say Hi instead? When you say Goodbye do you hang up or wait for them to say Goodbye? These questions depend on who you are talking to and what sort of call it is. There is no single right answer. What you really need to do is get hold of the protocol for whatever serial device you are talking to. For testing purposes, I tend to use a modem which has a standard protocol (Hayes) which you can find online. But then I use another serial controller device which has it's own language with expected inputs outputs, which I have to conform to. e.g. with one device, I know that if I send t? CR, it will return T2334 or some such number, followed by CR. I have another device where I send V2 CRLF and get back a number followed by LF. It just depends what you are talking to. So, do you have a specific device you are talking to? Can you get a hold of it's instruction set? Do you have a modem you can test with? For starters, send ATF CR and read whatever comes back. Don't puzzle your brain reading C unless it is a program for talking to the device you use, then it might be useful. HTH, Sarah I am stuck in serial land... I don't know enough about it and Rev and am looking for a for the completely stupid tutorial and guide into using serial in Rev and with the upcoming USB externals maybe a fully detailed input output tutorial type. I no squat about this topic and have had very limited success by tearing other people's examples apart to try and understand it further. Sarah's serial stack is the best I've seen but it is only one example and with out other examples to compare it to I don't really understand the important parts and or the why of it. I need things like: Do you really need to wait for a response after having sent a command? Do we know what types of responses will come, what to expect? Where do we look to know what to expect when looking at a new device? Are there similarities with devices and responses? Is there a list of commands to send? Is there a simple way of understanding the 'why' of these commands? Why do some devices need certain LF CR etc.? I have spent days reading stuff on the internet and most concern C# etc. and now my head hurts by I don't feel any closer to understanding the exact metaphor here.
