Trevor DeVore wrote: What I did in the same scenario was move the selectionChanged code to mouseDown. I couldn't find another way around it. You have to set dragData in mouseDown. mouseDown is sent before selectionChanged and setting the dragData kills selectionChanged. Exactly what I was seeing, but you explained it better. I'm not sure that this is directly related to setting the dragData though. It seems there are other ways to kill selectionChanged in mouseDown as well. For example: on selectionChanged answer selectionChanged pass selectionChanged end selectionChanged on mouseDown answer mouseDown pass mouseDown end mouseDown In Rev 2.6 on OS X you will never see the answer dialog for selectionChanged. If you remove the answer mouseDown code you will. A repeat loop in a mouseDown event can kill selectionChanged. See bug #2930. That's very similar to what I was doing, and I saw the same results. I found that if I pass mouseDown on the first line then it works okay. So I'm checking for a condition first: on mouseDown if condition then pass mouseDown -- allows selectionChanged to trigger -- set dragData, implement dragging here end mouseDown And this seems to work okay. Unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem of what condition to actually check for. I don't think there's a way to differentiate between clicking on a list and dragging from a list without adding a user action, so right now I'm checking to see if the Option key is down. If so, we're dragging. I'd rather be able to just tell without involving the user though. So there are many ways to keep selectionChanged to keep from being called. Interesting. I'll go look at that bug.

The condition I used was a repeat loop that checks for how long the user has been holding down the button. If they click on hold for at least 200 milliseconds then I assume they have started a drag. The problem is that the repeat loop kills selectionChanged too (that is the bug # I posted before). For the project I implemented this in, drag/drop from a palette is something that is done hundreds of times. I didn't want to add any modifier keys, etc. for something being done so often so I just added code in mouseDown to check for a change in the selection. That way I could have my repeat loop and display data on the selected item. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Multimedia [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Dragging from a list field
Phil Davis wrote: Another similar possibility: Can the same solution be rescaled to use a stack as the selected text object instead of a button? Then you could (apparently) drag text between stacks. Yes, I think so. That's how Rev does its tool palette. The tools you drag from the palette are actually in stacks that follow the mouse. It would probably be a good idea for me to implement something like this, because right now my drags have very little feedback outside of a cursor change. And as you said, one advantage of the fake stack/button technique is that you can actually see the content of what you're moving around. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: string format
Alex, The format function is indeed very useful - but I don't think it can be used to solve the particular problem of adding spaces after a string to fill it out to a specified length. Or at least - when I was looking at the problem the other day, one of the alternatives I considered was format, but I couldn't see a way to use it to solve this problem :-) I had forgotten the spaces were to be put after the string, rather than before. I reckon the example you provided was really making excellent used of xTalk (nice lesson, thanks). What you can do with sprintf (sorry, format in xtalk) combined with regular expressions is quite powerful though: put format(%14s,A) into aDataCell get matchtext(aDataCell, ( *)(.*), tspaces, tstr) put _ tstr tspaces _ (_ only added to make the trailing spaces visible) Marielle - Marielle Lange (PhD), Psycholinguistics, Lecturer in Psychology and Informatics University of Edinburgh, UK Homepage: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mlange/ Lexicall project: http://lexicall.org Revolution-education project: http://revolution.lexicall.org ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Dragging from a list field
Hi Jacque, Sorry, I'm coming a bit late... I have done such a thing in a project where the user can drag and drop images, movies, sounds and texts from a palette that displays their images in order to build a multimedia document. So between two stacks. I had a specific stack for this purpose displaying an image created on-the-fly by taking a snapshot. This tiny stack was shown at mouseDown, covering exactly the actual image in the palette and then the user could drag it where he/she wanted. A pending message told me where the mouseUp occurred and I acted accordingly. I used this method since I wanted the stack to move smoothly to its starting position if it was not in a right place and this feature made the job much more tricky :-) As far as I remember, a lot of code, some focus and cross-platform issues and so on, but a fine result :-) Best Regards from Paris, Eric Chatonet.

I tried setting the dragData on a mousedown in the index field, but even if I pass mouseDown, the index behaviors no longer function. The field does not recognize mouseup or selectionchanged and nothing happens. Actually, when I try dragging a line, the selection changes to whatever line the pointer is over.

Re: Dragging from a list field
Hi Jacqueline, I am not sure if this meets exactly your expectations, but you might have a look at my sample stack Dragging with List Fields on page Tools and Samples for Development of my site http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia (scroll down to the bottom of the page). Of the six examples offered in the samples stack try example 1 sample stack with three fields of 1. between list fields. You would have to change the script of field 1 - or one of the other fields - to accept a right-button mouseclick to distinguish between normal list behavior and dragging from the list. add on mousedown x if x is 3 then to the field script and you could then have normal list behavior and at the same time dragging behavior when the other mouse button is being pressed. Best regards, Wilhelm Jacque, have you tried using mouseStillDown to distinguish between a simple, quick click (index function) and 'holding-click' (to drag)? You could even change the cursor for user to know when the mode changed.

Dragging across stacks (was: Dragging from a list field)
Yes, I think so. That's how Rev does its tool palette. The tools you drag from the palette are actually in stacks that follow the mouse. Jacqueline, Thanks for this discussion on drag and drop. The suggestion to have a look at the script behind the tools palette just provided me a solution I needed. The possibility to drag and drop objects form a catalogue stack to another stack. The script works very nicely, dragging groups rather than UI elements. But it is made 95% of the script written by the revolution team. Before I share it, what is the status of the code behind the revolution UI element? Free to reuse and adapt? What mention should I had at the top of the script to acknowledge the origin of it?

The OS may have to bring a little of the start of the file into memory (at the open) and a little of the end of the file into memory (at the seek), but for a large file, this may be much faster than reading the whole thing into memory, appending in memory, and writing the whole thing out again.

OT: Another NPR puzzle
Here is another NPR (National Public Radio) puzzle: From listener Frank Morgan, a mathematician at Williams College. (He also has a puzzle page at mathchat.org.) Think of a word whose meaning you can make plural by adding an A at the start. Start with a very common singular noun, add the letter A at the beginning, and you'll make the meaning plural. What word is it? Note that the meaning is made plural, not the word itself. The straightforward approach is not very fruitful. Listing all words which can be derived by pre-pending the letter a yields 559 words. Hard to find the word satisfying the conditions of the puzzle from so large a list. The best I was able to do was a list of 103 words to choose from. (I realize that that statement is enigmatic.) To save time it is imperative that the dictionary be converted to an array, i.e. for each word (tWord) in the dictionary: put true into dictArray[tWord] The dictionary is compressed in a custom variable--see the Get started button. This is harder than the last NPR puzzle. In the message box run: go stack url http://home.infostations.net/jhurley/NPRpuzzle.rev; It is a large file (370k) so be patient.

Re: Dragging from a list field
Trevor DeVore wrote: For the project I implemented this in, drag/drop from a palette is something that is done hundreds of times. I didn't want to add any modifier keys, etc. for something being done so often so I just added code in mouseDown to check for a change in the selection. That way I could have my repeat loop and display data on the selected item. Thanks Trevor, I got a variation on this approach to work. Basically I set a custom property each time the selection changes in the list field. The custom property contains the selected text of the current line. Then on mouseDown I compare the current selection to the custom property contents and if they are different, I pass mouseDown so that selectionChanged will trigger. If they are the same, I assume a drag and set the dragData. If the user clicks the same line as before but does not do a drag, the engine implements a drag-in-place that doesn't move any text, so it appears that nothing happened, which is good. Once the mouseDown handler sets the dragData, the usual mouse messages are not sent and drag messages are sent instead. I can see why this might be the desirable behavior in most cases. When you are dragging, you aren't selecting, so you presumably don't need all the click messages such as selectionChanged and mouseUp. You get dragEnter, dragLeave, dragMove, dragDrop, etc. instead. While trying to use mouseStillDown and/or dragMove to implement all this, as per other suggestions, I found that both were able to set the dragData okay but no dragDop was sent to the target field and so the drag would not complete. Then I was stuck with a drag cursor that wouldn't go away until I did a second click on the target field. At that point the data was dropped, but this behavior wasn't acceptable for general use. Here is the skeleton of what I have, which pretty much works, though I will probably refine it some more. It does require that the user first click on the line to select it before they can drag it. If anyone wants to play with this technique and post improvements, I'm all eyes. In the list field: on selectionChanged put the selectedText of me into tTopic if the cCurTopic of me = tTopic then exit selectionChanged set the cCurTopic of me to tTopic -- store for later reference -- display content here, based on selection end selectionChanged on mouseDown if the cCurTopic of me the selectedText of me then pass mouseDown -- a new selection; selectionChanged will run set the dragData[text] to the selectedtext of me -- drag will run end mouseDown -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Your suggestion to use different mouse buttons would work. Or maybe the user could hold down a key while dragging. One thing that might be relevant to this (excuse me if this is off base; I haven't really been following this thread well) is that Rev's drag and drop starts on click, rather than when the drag begins.

Re: Dragging from a list field

Dan, Except for script locals, which I (and I believe manyu others) use a lot. They're a lot like globals, except only available script wide, and great for libraries. To use them you only need to put the local declaration outside the handler and functions which use it.
