Delayed Mouse Clicks
I have a button that, when clicked, runs a process that takes a few seconds. I'd like to do a little error prevention and prevent the user from accidentally clicking on it multiple times while it is already processing. Currently, if the button is clicked and then clicked multiple times before the first process is done, the mouseUp script will run over and over again after each script is completed. Any ideas? Secondly, does anyone know of a way to change the dock's icon (OS X) of your application while it is running?

Re: Delayed Mouse Clicks
Hi Trevor, The easiest solution to take care of multiple clicks is to set the cursor to watch while the script is running. If you are running a handler with messages, you might need to set a property. on mouseUp if the cRunning of me is false then set the cRunning of me to true repeat forever with messages -- do whatever you need in your repeat loop -- exit repeat when finished end repeat set the cRunning of to false else beep end if end mouseUp You can change the icon in the dock using the icon property: set the icon of this stack to 1234 (1234 would be the number of an image).

You can also use the command type to simulate keystrokes. But that doesn't answer your question (I just thought I'd through this out there as it is another way to do simulated keystrokes).

Quicktime question
Lately I've been incorporating Quicktime mp4 movies into my Rev standalones. When distributing the standalones to others, I've included the Quicktime Player installer, in case they do not have Quicktime (especially Windows users). If they forget to install Quicktime, the movie instead appears as a blank space. My question is as follows: Is there some way, if the user forgets to install Quicktime, that I can have a message in the blank space indicating that the user should install Quicktime? It would be sort similar to what developers do on a web page when a picture doesn't appear; instead there is text explaining what the subject of the picture is. I tried putting a field over the Quicktime movie area with text in it. However, the blank Quicktime box remains layered over the text. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I share Stephen's enthusiasm for DreamHost. Several Rev users have gotten RevCGIs to run there. Also, they have a large number of "one-click installs" of popular web applications that are just wonderful. You can get an unlimited number of domains per account for very little. One caveat is that some web apps have security sensitive parts deactivated. Its possible to compile and upload your own version of PHP (for example) and get around this in some cases.

You should be able to do a check for the QT version when launching your app, then prompt them to install if it comes up empty.

But filthy muck may not have to go on being the price of fancy technology - and as we are all paying our hard-earned money to the companies that manufacture the fancy technology we might consider changing some of our "feature requests" from ever more mind-bogglingly fast processors (face it when was the last time you managed to have gulp of your favourite drink before the fancy technology made its next move?) to technology that is fancy in a different way.

Um . . . morality . . . responsibility . . . With all due respect to Bob Sneidar (who wishes to lay the responsibility for filthy computers completely in the purchaser's lap), I think that this case is mutual . . . The theory that manufacturers will only manufacture what is demanded of them (so the responsibility for filthy things lies with the consumer) forgets 'push' - if, for the sake of argument, we look at one manufacturer of filthy computers (er . . . Apple) we can see that they spend buckets of money creating demand. of course not everyone if seduced by Steve Jobs' blandishments (? hm ?) therefore the responsibility must be shared. Computer manufacturers setting up their own recycling operations and offering trade-ins might be a good start.

Validation of user field input is generally triggered by a closeField, enterInField, or (for single line fields) returnInField message; however character, security, and mask restrictions are better enforced in keyDown frontScript handlers. Common validation may include: * Required field -- Cannot be empty * Restricted length --Maximum number of characters * Restricted height -- Maximum number of lines * Numeric precision -- Number of characters right of the decimal separator * Numeric formatting -- Insert/allow thousands separators in numbers * Specific format -- Date, time, number, currency * Secure field -- User input is not displayed * Full field -- Input length must = specified field length * Auto entry -- Close field when input length = specified field length * Field mask -- Input must be compliant with mask format defined for the field * Xref field -- Validate input as a key to a record or existing in a table * Restricted characters -- Digits only, alpha only, uppercase only, disallowed characters, low order characters only, positive numbers only, integers only Scritping and testing all these possibilities is not trivial; however once in place -- and I'm still in the testing stage myself -- these validation checks can be specified in a Data Dictionary and be automatically enforced with no further scripting. But there is another approach: design your application so field validation is minimalized. If the user selects a date from a calendar, she can _never_ enter an invalid date. (Incorrect date, yes; but invalid, never.) Likewise for times selected from a clock image. If the user selects field input from a pull-down list instead of typing, the input cannot be invalid (though it might be illogical juxtaposed with other input). If, in your example "Q1.000.50", the decimal points are constant, you could have three user input fields ("Q1", "000", and "50") , validate each field separately, and concatenate them between decimals to form the working input. -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company "And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee." from "The Triple Foole" by John Donne (1572-1631) ___ 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

Hi Steve, If the QTVersion is 0.0, QuickTime is not installed (except on Unix, where QTVersion always returns 2.0).

I have two reads on MySQL licensing; I have a certain bias because of my relationship with Paradigma when wearing my Paradigma hat, so be warned :-) The first one is that MySQL AB has tightened up their licensing a few times (granted, interpretations of the GPL have also morphed in that time) and that, based on what I have read, if you incorporate MySQL drivers in your application and its not GPL, you need to pay them. Also, if its commercial venture of any kind, you have to pay them (dig through their references to compensation); it doesn't necessarily matter if you simply tell your customer they need to download MySQL and install it yourself. I visit their website about once a month to see what they are doing with licensing, so maybe something has changed since then. The second one is, they have previously had sprinkled around their website a statement that if you arent sure if you can use it free or not, you should call them or just pay up. From feedback from others who have called, usually the answer is - pay up, and here is a plan, just for you. So the licensing confusion puts you into a position where you are encouraged to call them and enter into a negotiation of pricing. MySQL AB has greatly benefited over the years because of license confusion - a huge number of people in the world assume its free to use, but also a huge number of people don't know the difference really between public domain and GPL. Several years ago when the computer industry was just getting a handle on what GPL means, MySQL AB did a lot of suing - I don't know about now. Now Ill try to put on my Runtime hat if you can suspend disbelief :-) Support for MySQL helps Runtime, because it's a popular database system and supporting it enables customers to make choices. With my Paradigma hat on, I can agree with that - MySQL is not a horrible product, and its popular, and choice and competition in the market are good for everyone, as long as you understand and are happy with their licensing. Now with both hats: I wouldn't incorporate anything into a product if I wasn't really sure in my own head what the license means. If there was any doubt of what to incorporate into Revolution or Valentina, I would be dead set against it. If you have read MySQL's terms and are happy with them and the product, be happy :-) But, if you are relying heavily on the community to help you make a licensing decision because you cannot comprehend the license - please save yourself some heartache and sleepless nights later. Im the sort of person who will not sign anything at all unless I understand the fine print completely - mortgages, codicils, immigration papers, intellectual property licenses, everything.

Sort of... you can't distribute a non-GPLed application without a license from MySQL. This generally covers all commercial applications. In general there are (IMHO) two free uses of mySQL: (1) distributing a fully GPL-compliant application, and (2) accessing a mySQL DB at an ISP via browser-based input (or the equivalent), so that the drivers and database are fully in the hands of the ISP and there's nothing for you to "distribute". I may be wrong, but this is my understanding of the licensing arrangements.

But we can't distribute an application built using those drivers without some kind of license with MySQL inc.? is that right? Probably yes, although I am not qualified to give legal advice :) The licensing fees that RR pays to MySQL likely cover only their distributing the drivers with their products, that is in essence your using them in Rev IDE. RR may be even exempted since they sell a development environment. Either way, the way I read it, if you produce a commercial program that you sell (that probably includes also work for hire unless clients pays MySQL) and it includes MySQL drivers or requires users to use MySQL, then you need to pay license to MySQL. It would actually be nice if RR could clarify this for us.

Hi Ken, This is exactly how me also understand this. Also I want add another points: MySQL commercial license require that you pay a) PER SERVER i.e. If you develop something for school or game or accounting or ... Other app that you want sale by 1000 copies you need pay them 1000 * $400 = $400,000 Although most probably exists some special volume discounts which you can obtain if call them Actually this is NORMAL for db vendors that sale DBMS SERVERS. Look on MS SQL, Oracle, Sybase. You need pay for EACH server. b) PER YEAR mySQL want that $400 per server EACH YEAR of use. c) PER APPLICATION. if you have develop 3 applications you need pay for each. actually this is masked for mySQL because of "per server" license D) Note, that commercial license do not say that IF you use driver but store db on some ISP host you get it for free. Commercial license says: IF your non-GPL app uses driver - you must pay. Point. - P.S.

Valentina thrives because it has a unique underlying technology - so choose it if you fall in love with its unique features. The downside is that we don't wave the GPL flag. In a general sense though, I strongly urge anyone who has to make a choice to think about where your product/company is going to be down the road.
