Re: open stack problem

[Robert Brenstein]

I tried this Klaus but no luck

the only one I now get to work is

answer file "Select a database file:" \
 with filter "*.abd"
 --with filter "Armbase Database File" & return & "*.abd"
  --with filter "Armbase Database File" & "*.abd"
   if it is empty then exit to top
  put it into tFileName
  toplevel stack it
end doFileOpen

I get a dialogue box but when I click on "open" I dont get a stack. It may
be a stack corrupt problem since I can open one with a different name from
the default, however, even if I delete the previous default mydatabase.abd
and resave a new one I still can't open it?? Weird


The problem might be with your using extension "abd" instead of "rev" 
for a stack.


It is safer to check after answer file with

 if the result is "cancel" or it is empty then exit ...

Re: Report Printing for Other Newbies

Ron,
 You have a lot of good ideas there! And with two months experience!
 I have been frustrated with Rev's useless reporting for   over two years 
(with no response from the company) but there may be some hope. Jerry Daniels 
is going to be discussing reporting here at the conference in Monterey. Jerry 
is very smart. With your ideas, his ideas, and a few of my own we might just 
pull it off.
 Thank you for sharing that.

Re: revXMLtrees() function doesn't work with Runrev 2.2.1 Linux

[Sarah Reichelt]

I am making a little software, and I use the XML power in my software,
and I must done the revXMLTrees() function, but runrev return me this
error :

put revxmltrees()

Message execution error:
Error description: Function: error in function handler

This is a very nasty bug of Runrev, this bug aren't in runrev 2.6


Hi Damien,

I have tested the revXMLTrees() function in Rev 2.6 and as you say,  
it works fine, so I'm not quite clear on what your problem is.


Are you saying that it doesn't work in earlier versions of Rev, or is  
the problem in a standalone? I built a standalone and again, this  
function works perfectly, but perhaps the XML library was not  
included in your standalone.


Could you please explain more fully exactly what causes this error?

Cheers,
Sarah

Re: Stop a repeat script

[Thomas McCarthy]

A good idea I picked up from somewhere is to build in a time limit on repeats 
whenever possible:

--before entering repeat loop
put the ticks + 600 into endtime --(10 second timelimit)
repeat with i = 1 to somenumber
if the ticks > endtime then
answer "overtime" --might want to report other information to help debug
exit repeat
end if

do repeat stuff here
end repeat

it's only a couple of lines of code, but it's saved me many a crash.

Debian Linux and Rev CGI

[Dan Shafer]

My hosting service (http://www.dreamhost.com) tech support folks  
responded to my request for GLIBC 2,.3 support as apparently required  
by the Linux Rev CGi engine, with the following comment:



almost 90% of hosts that
run Debian systems run the stable version which was Woody up until the
beginning of this month. Debian woody is based on glibc2.2 . We are
upgrading to the latest Debian which is sarge (3.1) which will upgrade
glibc as well to a more recent version at the end of this summer.


So I'll just be patient until the end of the summer. Meanwhile, I'm  
honing my Python/PHP skill set, hardly a painful experience.


I assume this is a Debian issue and that Red Hat Linux uses GLIBC  
2.3, which explains the anomaly.

Re: relative path help

Hi Bob,

According to a later email, you are finding the apps folder and  
putting it into a global variable called gMyAppsFolder. In the script  
above, you are calling a function: myAppsFolder to get the same data.


Try this:

on mouseup
 global gMyAppsFolder
 set the hideConsoleWindows to true
 put gMyAppsFolder & "\Components\PDATconv.exe /I" && quote & \
   gMyAppsFolder & "\Components\Armbase.xdf" & quote into mycommandline

Re: stumped: set script of buttons at runtime

[Sarah Reichelt]

I've been battling this problem for a few days and have no idea  
where to look next.  Originally I thought it had to do with global  
variable issues between stacks.  However, after MUCH hair-pulling  
it appears the problem has to do with setting the script property  
of buttons dynamically ...or so I think...Keep in mind the  
following code works perfectly in development. That is, the last  
line of the mouseUp handler in the hidden defaultButton says  
"answer the script of me".  In development, after all the buttons  
have been created, clicking any of the buttons generates a dialog  
box and the appropriate script.  In standalone mode, the script of  
all the dynamically created buttons is empty...even the "answer"  
command on the last line on makeButtons returns empty


If your template script is more than 10 lines, it will work in the  
IDE, but not in a standalone as you are limited in creating new  
scripts there. However if you have multiple buttons all with the same  
script, then it would be easier to place the script higher in the  
message path and have them all use the same script.


There are 2 ways you could do this:

set the script of each button to:
  on mouseUp
doMyButtonhandler
  end mouseUp
and have all the scripts in the "doMyButtonHandler" handler in the  
card or stack script.


Alternatively, just have a mouseUp script in the card or stack script  
containing all your button script and check "the target" each time it  
is called to see whether it is one of the buttons that should use the  
handler.


HTH,
Sarah

Yes, this is what I was thinking as well.  I looked at the documentation 
in Rev 2.6 and both alphaData and maskData use a 8-bit mask.  So I tried 
the following...


 on mouseUp
   set the alphaData of img 1 to (the imageData of img 2)
 end mouseUp

Revolution really didn't like this, and crashed every time I clicked the 
button. :)  Does this work for you or anyone else?

I should mention that I declare a global myAppsFolder and create the path
with
ON OPENSTACK
  get the filename of stack "Armbase Launcher"
  put it into gMyAppsFolder
  set the itemDel to "/" 
  delete the last item of gMyAppsFolder 
  replace "/" with "\" in gMyAppsFolder
  Put gMyAppsFolder into field "pathtest"
end OPENSTACK

The line  Put gMyAppsFolder into field "pathtest" is only to check in a text
box that the path is working.

relative path help

[Bob Hartley]

Hi All

I have managed (with the help of a script of Sarah's to create dynamic paths
and in turn creatre an absoute path to my apps folder. I also changed the /
to a \ for using the shell.

eg
C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq\My

Now I want to have this as part of a script that runs an app from the
command line.

The old script was "hardwired" to one folder (C:\Armbase etc) and works.
the old script is
on mouseup
 set the hideConsoleWindows to true
--space put in to assist reading
  put "c:\Armbase\Components\PDATconv.exe /I" && quote & "c 
---note no carridge return here, just wordwrapping
\Armbase\Components\Armbase.xdf" & quote into mycommandline
 
  get shell(mycommandline)
  
  put url("file:c:\Armbase\Components\Armbase.txt") into tFile
   
end mouseup

sarah suggested put myAppsFolder() & "\Components\PDATconv.exe" into tPath

so I used

on mouseup
 set the hideConsoleWindows to true
  put myApps\Folder() & "\Components\PDATconv.exe /I" && quote &
--just wordwrapping here
myAppsFolder() & "\Components\Armbase.xdf" & quote into mycommandline 
  get shell(mycommandline)

endmouseup

when I substitute this in it does not work.

Any ideas?

Re: stumped: set script of buttons at runtime - solution A

[Rob Cozens]

Eric,


The thing I hadn't figured out that lead me down the present path was
that I couldn't figure out how to add the script to the template button.


If you are building the script at runtime, my approach won't work.  If 
you're selecting from a finite number of pre-written scripts, store each 
script in a separate invisible template button.

Any hints as to how to make an Icon file that Rev is happy with?  It

the examples in the Sample Icons folder of the Revolution

stumped: set script of buttons at runtime - solution A

[Emilio Gagliardi]

Thanks for responding fellas,
From your unanimous replies it seems that the 60 lines of script I  
was trying to set at runtime went over my limitpardon me for  
saying, but...>:(


anyway, what Rob mentions below sounds like what I might need to do.   
The thing I hadn't figured out that lead me down the present path was  
that I couldn't figure out how to add the script to the template button.

Hi Eric,

>So for some
>reason, setting the script of a button at runtime does not seem
>possible.  Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here??

Runtime changes to scripts by standalones are subject to the 10-line
restriction the applies to the do command.

If you are not building the new script based on runtime info, you could
have a hidden template button containing the new script, change the  
other
properties of the template button, and replace the old button with a  
copy

of the template.

Actually I think I misunderstood what you were saying.  I thought you  
meant something like this:

set the script of the templateButton to "ADD SCRIPT CODE HERE"

but you mean duplicate the button that is already on the card, and  
then change its properties?


so my makebutton becomes

copy button "defaultButton"
set the name of it to "newButton"
set the location of it nnn,nnn
...
where button "defaultButton" contains all 60 lines of script that i  
want each button to use.  The only thing that needs to change is the  
name of each button.  I like that method better than my current  
method.  Hopefully that is what you intended. :)


Thank you guys for your feedback.

Re: stumped: set script of buttons at runtime

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Emilio,

As you say:

However, if I open the stack using the "go" command from within  
another stack, the above makeButton command does not set the script  
property of the buttons and hence none of them work.


I guess it's a "defaultStack" issue: your script does not find the  
button "defaultButton" of card "defaultBlock" because this button is  
located in another stack.
Try something like button "defaultButton" of card "defaultBlock" of  
stack "defaultStack"

Hope this helps.

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.


Hi All,
I've been battling this problem for a few days and have no idea  
where to look next.  Originally I thought it had to do with global  
variable issues between stacks.  However, after MUCH hair-pulling  
it appears the problem has to do with setting the script property  
of buttons dynamically ...or so I think...Keep in mind the  
following code works perfectly in development.  That is, the last  
line of the mouseUp handler in the hidden defaultButton says  
"answer the script of me".  In development, after all the buttons  
have been created, clicking any of the buttons generates a dialog  
box and the appropriate script.  In standalone mode, the script of  
all the dynamically created buttons is empty...even the "answer"  
command on the last line on makeButtons returns empty



on makeButton buttonText

  set the style of the templateButton to "Button"
  set the label of the templateButton to buttonText
  set the visible of the templateButton to false
  set the width of the templateButton to BUTTON_WIDTH
  set the height of the templateButton to BUTTON_HEIGHT
  set the opaque of the templateButton to false
  set the textAlign of the templateButton to "center"
  set the threed of the templateButton to false
  set the showborder of the templateButton to false
  set the autohilight of the templateButton to false
  set the textFont of the templateButton to "verdana"
  set the textSize of the templateButton to "16"
  set the location of the templateButton to DEFULT_LOCATION

  lock messages
  create button buttonText
  unlock messages

  set the script of button buttonText to the script of button  
"defaultButton" of card "defaultBlock"

  set the location of it to getNextButtonLocation()
  set the myHome of it to the location of it

  set the visible of button buttonText to true
  answer the script of button buttonText

end makeButton

All the buttons are exactly the same except for their label.  They  
all have the same functionality so i store the script for the  
buttons in a button whose visibility is set to false.  In  
development mode everything works perfectly.  All the buttons  
appear, they all contain the script from the hidden button, and  
they all use their respective scripts as intended.  However, if I  
open the stack using the "go" command from within another stack,  
the above makeButton command does not set the script property of  
the buttons and hence none of them work.  If I set the visibility  
of the original hidden button to true, it works fine.  So for some  
reason, setting the script of a button at runtime does not seem  
possible.  Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here??

Property Inspector Bug?

[Mark Smith]

I'm storing a number of arrays in custom property sets. When I get the 
data by script, all is fine eg:


put the cpKey["date"] of me

So, the data is there, however, when I look at that set in the property 
inspector, though the keys are all there, the data is apparently not, 
that is, clicking on a key in the upper field, the lower field remains 
empty.


Rev 2.6, build 91, OS 10.3.9

is this an issue in build 91, corrected in the latest build, or should 
I bugzilla this?


Cheers,

Mark

ps. using the "check for updates" from the help menu tells me I have 
the latest version

What happened to maskData?

[Derek Bump]

Am I missing something, or did maskData change in any way?  I remember 
about 4 months ago I played with the maskData property.  My goal was to 
have 2 images.  The first image as any type of photo (like a picture of 
the family) and the second image was a Black and White JPEG that was to 
be the edge.


You would make the imageData of the 2nd image become the maskData for 
the first image, thus giving it a beautifully edged frame.


Now I can't get it to work, and to top it off, I can't find my test 
stack from 4 months ago to get it to work.  Anyone have any ideas?

Try pressing command & period (on a mac) or ctrl period (on windows). 
If that doesn't do it, you may have to 'force quit' from the dock (on

Report Printing for Other Newbies

[Ron Noice]

In my entire Revolution career (a whole two months) the most exasperating 
problem in a long list has been the inability to print multi-page, tabular 
reports. I've tried the available demos, I've read the messages, I've tried to 
decipher the docs, I've determined that pounding the desk does not help. 
Nothing I've yet seen gave me what I needed though I may have missed something. 
Quartam Reports looks like it may be the answer but I needed a solution for a 
client right now.
 
S, I eventually came up with a method that worked for me in Windows XP 
(your mileage may differ). And, though I may live to regret it, I've created a 
small demo stack and published it in RevOnline for your amusement: User = ronn, 
Category = General, Title = ReportTest. The demo attempts to explain the 
process I'm using and lets you try it out by experimenting with different size 
reports and different line spacing to ensure the page breaks work properly.
 
Hopefully, other newbies may be able to modify it for their own use and 
experienced users can just have a good laugh! My ulterior motive is that I'm 
hoping someone with an actual brain can suggest ways to improve it. Anyway, 
it's out there now and I don't see a way to delete it so if you're desperate 
for something to fill the time, give it a shot.
 
... Ron

Re: the new build of REV 2.6

Hello Yves,

Yes, it seems that the sheet windows just appear so fast that you  
can't see the "sheet effect" but you can see it when the window is  
closed.

I'd think it is a cosmetic bug. You should place a report about it.

Re: Printing is hell

[Christian Langers]

hello Sarah,


PDFCreator is effectively a virtual printer i.e. your Rev app is  
printing to it as if it was a real printer. If that works OK, then  
I would guess it is a printer problem


Well, printing to the virtual Printer gives me satisfaction : the  
produced pdf-file, when printed out on the same printer, has no  
problems ???


That's why I'm confused, and I think that there is a problem with the  
REv-app...


I did not try it on other machines, so I can't really tell if it's  
specific to the machine I use in my classroom (XP)...


At home, on my Mac, everything's ok Perhaps, it's a Win related  
problem ?



Any ideas ?

Christian

I'm on a windows machine with Rev 2.6 , creating a stack which has

then telling Rev to print
the stack gives me the result that the top line of the image/fld/

It has not been printed ?

Why ?

Is this related to the printer ? (printermargins do matter here...)

When I print the stack via a "PDFCreator", a PDF-document is

with Adobe Reader, has no problems...



PDFCreator is effectively a virtual printer i.e. your Rev app is  
printing to it as if it was a real printer. If that works OK, then  
I would guess it is a printer problem. Try making sure that your  
printer drivers are up-to-date and check what the effective print  
size of your printer is.


One point that I found confusing is that when you get the  
printPaperSize, this INCLUDES the printMargins. If I go to page  
setup & choose A4 portrait on my printer, I get a printPaperSize of  
595,842. The printMargins are 72,72,72,72 so the width of printing  
I can use is not 595 but 595 - 72 - 72 or 451 pixels.


For testing purposes, I make a stack that I think is the correct  
size and draw a rectangle around the edges of the stack. Then I  
print preview this, adjusting the size until it all fits on the  
page. Don't include the printMargins in your stack size - make it  
the size of the available print area.


HTH,
Sarah

shell script for logout on OSX?

[Terry Judd]

I have a situation where I want to logout the current user after an 
idle period. At the moment I'm invoking the Finder/System Events logout 
routine via Applescript but this throws up a standard answer style 
dialog that gives the user two minutes to cancel the logout before it 
proceeds. For various reasons (including the need to occasionally kill 
processes that fail to quit during an automated logout) I'd prefer to 
'bypass' this two minute warning if at all possible and initiate the 
logout immediately I have completed my 'cleanup' procedures (I already 
have a custom dialog that gives the user plenty of warning prior to 
issuing the logout call). Anyone have any ideas on if this is possible 
and how it might be done?

Terry...

About the answer dialog

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=C9ric_Miclo?=]

Hello,

Since version 2.6 of Revolution it seems that there are some problems  
with the answer dialog.

The one concerning the it variable has been resolved.
But I encounter another problem with the prompt that is not always  
wrapped when it should and can't be read because a portion of it is  
out of the dialog.
Mark has provided a patch but it seems that there is still a bug: for  
each dialog invoqued the prompt display changes the 3 first times the  
answer dialog is invoqued and the first time the prompt is not always  
correctly wrapped.


I'd like to know if it is a problem that occurs only on my 2 Mac or  
if someone else is experiencing the same bug.

In version 2.5, there was no such problem.

Best regards,

ÉrIC

The tooltip for this choice implies that it is the grown-up option! So I
