Printing in Windows
How is printing in Windows supposed to work? In Mac, I go to Page setup and choose the paper layout I want. Then when I print, I get another dialog allowing me to choose copies, page ranges, quality etc. Rev ignores the page ranges :-( but apart from that, printing works as I would expect. With Windows, when I use answer printer which I do when Page setup is chosen from the menu, I get a dialog allowing me to choose the printer and it's settings, but it also has a Print button. rather to my surprise, this seems to work, even though I haven't scripted for it at all. However choosing Print from the menu gives me no dialog at all, it just prints to the default printer, no matter what I chose in Page setup. So what do Windows users expect? Is this correct behaviour? Or should I forget Page setup for Windows and just use the answer printer dialog for printing in a single step? Please help a confused Mac person...

Hi Jean-Pierre, If you're using the Automated queries and database linked controls, you can use the undocumented command 'revGoToRecordOfQuery'. If your query is named 'foobar' then use: ## on mouseUp revGoToRecordOfQuery foobar,100 end mouseUp ## This will automatically update all the controls linked to that query. If you're using revdb library calls , you'll just have to iterate over the revdb cursor with 'revdb_movenext' until you get there: ## on mouseUp global gCursorID local tCurrentRec -- determine where we are in the cursor put revdb_currentrecord(gCursorID) into tCurrentRec if tCurrentRec 100 then repeat 100 - tCurrentRec times get revdb_movenext(gCursorID) end repeat else repeat tCurrentRec - 100 times get revdb_moveprev(gCursorID) end repeat end if -- now that we're at the right record, do something -- ... end mouseUp ## Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel.

Hi Jean-Pierre, When you're using the data binding option of the revdb library calls, you need to use variable names, not their content: ## on mouseUp global gConnectionID local tQuery, tFirstValue,tSecondValue put INSERT INTO table1 VALUES(:1,:2) into tQuery put 5 into tFirstValue put c'est beau l'amour into tSecondValue get revdb_execute(gConnectionID,tQuery,tFirstValue,tSecondValue) end mouseUp ## Of course, you can always escape the apostrophe in the query by using a backslash, as JBV suggested.

Cheers, Sarah Hi Sarah, Printing on Windows is a tad confusing in Revolution. The 'answer printer' command displays the Page Setup dialog box on MacOS, but on Windows it looks like the place to print from. And the other fun thing is that you can't actually read and store the page setup data, so you have to ask the user every time. On Windows, users either never get the printer selection screen, or they get it every time. Usually, my printing code looks something like this: ## on mouseUp answer printer if the result is Cancel then exit mouseUp -- some preparation code -- ... -- about to start printing -- Note: won't display a dialog box on Win or Unix open printing with dialog as sheet if the result is not Cancel then print this card close printing end if -- some cleanup code -- ... end mouseUp ## And then the fun starts when 'formatForPrinting' gets added to the mix...

Most companies charge for upgrades, and I haven't seen a software package yet that doesn't have bugs. The trick of course is to find the right balance between bugs and marketability. I don't have the stats on how Rev measures up against other apps for bugs/KLOC, but for myself and most of the folks here the balance is in their favor relative to the productivity it allows me to deliver to my clients. Search for good enough software for some good reading on the topic; there are some who argue against shipping with any known bugs, and indeed I try to get my own stuff as close to that as practical, but in general the Good Enough philosophy helps apps ship and delivers more value to customers more quickly than attempting perfection. As for the copyright notice, I think you'll find that with just about any libraries, components, frameworks, or anything else. Modern software is just too complex to write without using at least a framework written by someone else, and that someone usually wants appropriate copyright protection for their contribution. Going back as far as MacApp Apple required a notice, THINK C required one, Code Warrior required one, and Rev requires one.

If you tried: 123 + 456 you would get a type mismatch error. But as I said in another post, I would only be able to evaluate variables at runtime. Literals are easy. Variables are only known at runtime, in which case I am in Foxpro, not Revolution and so would not be running my code converter.

RE- My Dream App.
Yesterday Chipp Walters wrote: Mark, Good link. Interesting idea. Double negative withstanding, I'm not sure if they're not the latest Peter Minuit, trading a few Apple trinkets for the next 'Killer App'. http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_156.html That said, the winner does get 15%, which is fine. But my guess is the real value is in all the apps voted on which _DON'T_ win. I wonder ifit's even possible to protect that sort of intellectual property? Chipp - Any proud owner of a Revolution licence with a bright idea will be trying to develop it alone, not farming it out to a group of developers at the cost of 85% of eventual sales profit. I thought the same as Chipp, (who preceded me), its the eliminated projects that are going to be the organizer's pay off! This is known in Italy as Putting out mirrors for nightingales --- a hunter's decoy trick for shooting down attracted birds. Good try though.

Re: FTP with SSL/TLS
On Aug 22, 2006, at 2:41 PM, Dave Cragg wrote: FTP over SSL/TLS is different from SFTP (FTP over SSH), I believe. It's a while since I looked at this, but I think FTP over SSL/TLS would probably be easier to implement. However, I think the engine still needs a way to negotiate a secure connection (secure handshake??) over an existing non-secure connection before this could be implemented in libUrl. On the other hand, SFTP seems to be more widely supported by servers. Yes, FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) should be easier for libUrl, at least if you assume implicit FTPS where you assume the connection is secure from the start and no command is needed to turn it on. Some rambling on the subject... I have looked at SSH several times to be used as part of a Rev standalone and each time the biggest technical problem was getting the passphrase to the right place at the right time with minimum abrasion of the user. This was especially a problem on OS X. The other big technical problem was setting up painless installation. It can be done; it is just a bunch of work. However, there is a way to use SSH with FTP on systems that allow it. One who is willing to invest a little learning can create an automatic tunnel from the client system to the server. This can make a local port look just like the FTP port on the server. Instead of connecting to the server, you connect to the local port. SSH is listening on that and will make a connection to the server asking it to make an inside connection to the FTP port. Some people do this for their POP accounts. This is not SFTP and this is not FTPS. I don't know what to call it.

QT Player controls frozen in Deamcard 2.7.2
I upgraded to DreamCard 2.7.2 only to discover that all my movie players no longer work! The controller is visible etc. but it won't play (or drag) by clicking the button or with a scripted command. Is there something buggy between QT version 7.1.2 and Dreamcard 2.7.2? Help, I am a classroom music teacher that depends on QuickTime to play my soundtracks midi files for the students to sing and play instruments with.

Fixing Mac OS X standalones
Hi All, When you build a standalone for Mac OS X, at the moment (Rev 2.7.x) the required display plugins are not copied over, so the app looks like it was built for OS 9. Also, if you have specified a custom icon, it does not get displayed. Here is a script that fixes all that. It is set to work only when building on OS X systems, I don't know if it is needed on others. Just put this in the stack script of your mainStack and it will happen auto-magically after the standalne has been created. HTH, Sarah -- after a standalone is created, this is called -- pFolder is the name of the folder containing the standalone's folder -- -- this routine copies over the missing display plugins -- and touches the app tho make the icon appear -- on standaloneSaved pFolder -- only works when building on Mac OS X if the platform MacOS then exit standaloneSaved set the itemdel to . if item 1 of the systemversion = 10 then exit standaloneSaved -- check if building any Mac OS X version put the cRevStandaloneSettings[MacOSX] of the topstack into tMacUB put the cRevStandaloneSettings[MacOSX PowerPC-32] of the topstack into tMacPPC put the cRevStandaloneSettings[MacOSX x86-32] of the topstack into tMacIntel if tMacUB = false and tMacPPC = false and tMacIntel = false then exit standaloneSaved -- get the full name of the standalone folder put the cRevStandaloneSettings[name] of the topstack into tName put pFolder tName / into tAppFolder -- if building multiples, there will be a Mac OS X folder, otherwise, just .app if there is a folder (tAppFolder MacOSX) then put MacOSX/ after tAppFolder end if -- get out if can't find the new app if there is not a folder (tAppFolder tName .app) then exit standaloneSaved -- get the new app's plugins folder so the display plugins can be copied across put tAppFolder tName .app /Contents/PlugIns/ into tAppPlugins -- get the path to the Rev app's plugins folder to find the originals put the effective filename of stack Home into tRevPath set the itemdel to / delete item -2 to -1 of tRevPath put /Revolution.app/Contents/PlugIns/ after tRevPath -- list the plugins put the defaultfolder into tOldDefault set the defaultfolder to tRevPath put the folders into tPlugins filter tPlugins with *.bundle -- copy them to the new app -- bundles need revCopyFolder despite what the docs say -- revCopyFolder needs the full path for source destination repeat for each line i in tPlugins put tRevPath i into tSource revCopyFolder tSource, tAppPlugins end repeat -- 'touch' new app to make it's icon appear put touch ' tAppFolder tName .app' into tCmd get shell(tCmd) -- reset default folder set the defaultfolder to tOldDefault end standaloneSaved ___ 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
