Re: Access Plugins
try communicating with Access driver through js or vbs script. In both js
and vbs there is a way to build a dsn-less connections to nearly any type of
relational database. A while ago I worked with this from within hta apps,
but now went multiplatform with Rev and start forgetting those things... For
example this jscript function creates and uses dsn-less connection to
execute SQL commands:
function dbAccess(sql)
{
var dbrcd, cString, sql;
// Creating ADO Recordset
dbrcd = new ActiveXObject( ADODB.Recordset );
//Creating the connection string
cString = Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=Tables.mdb;
// Create SQL Statement
//sql = SELECT * from table1;
// Open connection to database
dbrcd.Open( sql, cString, 1, 3);
while( !dbrcd.EOF )
{
// Loop through each field in this record
// and add contents to variable
for( i = 0; i dbrcd.Fields.Count; i++ )
{ record+= dbrcd(i) + ;}
//Move to the next record and loop
dbrcd.MoveNext();
record+=\n;
}
return (record);
}
Although I have never tried creating new database or defining schema with
this, but maybe it can be useful in this regard too... Rev studio has open
driver close driver handlers, although I have never tried to communicate
with Access driver directly from within Rev, could this work ?..

Re: Forgotten variables
Hi Horst, If you use the global statement inside a handler, you have to repeat that in all handlers that use the declared variables. If you use global outside a handler, you still have to repeat it at the top of all scripts that use the declared variables. So, you could write global var1,var2,var3,var4 at the top of the card script to use these variables in all handlers of the card script. I've noticed that you use spaces instead of commas to separate variables. Does that work?

when declaring global variable, it should be declared as global in every handler or function it is used like this: on doThis global var1 put 1 into var1 end doThis on doThat global var1 # answer var1 end doThat otherwise handlers can not see var1 even if it is global in one of them, because the other assumes by default that it is local...

Re: Forgotten variables
Hi Horst, To declare globals (or local) variables you may use: global gVar1 global gVar2 global gVar3 global gVar4 local tVar1 local tVar1 local tVar1 local tVar1 Declaring a variable per line. Or: global gVar1, gVar2, gVar3, gVar4 local tVar1, tVar2, tVar3, tVar4 Using a single line. Please note: When declaring multiple variables in a row, variables names appear always as a comma delimited list (space is up to you: it's not necessary) Variables names are prefixed to immediately notice in the code their status. Where to declare variables? 1. At the top of an object's script: locals will be script local variables, i.e. accessible by all handlers in the script and global will not need to be declared in any handler that use them in this script. 2. At the beginning of any handler: locals will be only accessible in this handler and globals will have to be declared in each handler that uses them. Hope this helps.

My steps are meant to be blocking (code execution stops until complete download) since there is no reason to continue until the entire file is downloaded. In other cases, I use the same form so that the data gets put into a local variable that dies at the end of the handler, thus does not stay around in Rev memory. The 'load url someFileSomeWhere ' both continues to download in the background and builds the file in memory in order to cache it. Basically, it is a global that does not die until you quit Rev/the app, or unload url someFileSomeWhere I think of the file/web page cache as Rev downloading the data to memory and giving it a variable name of someFileSomeWhere Also, I think if you are accessing web pages, repeated 'load url' commands to the same url means Rev checks the cache first, and if something is there, it delivers that to your handler, rather than re-downloading.

Re: preventing deletion of linefeds
Viktoras, here's a handler that will stop the backspace and delete keys working in a text field. I hope I understand you correctly, because I was struggling to think of a use for this! Like Jim says, you may want to handle the cutKey message, etc. This handler blocks multi line selecting and then a keypress if the selection contains a return character. on rawKeyDown pCode if pCode is not among the items of 65288,65535 then pass rawKeyDown put word 2 of the selectedChunk into tStart put word 4 of the selectedChunk into tEnd if tStart = tEnd then put char tStart to tEnd of me into tSelection if return is not among the chars of tSelection then pass rawKeyDown end if else if pCode = 65535 then put tStart into tPos else put tEnd into tPos end if if char tPos of me return then pass rawKeyDown end if end if end rawKeyDown JC Viktoras Didziulis wrote: can anybody suggest a simple method to prevent users deleting linefeeds in a text field when pressing backspace or delete keys.

Re: preventing deletion of linefeds
Thanks! The story is that once I had lots (around 200 pages) of lengthy tables on marine species printed in old reports to be fed into a database. Used fine reader to scan those tables and convert to a tab delimited text. As the quality of image to text conversion output is not 100%, the task is to fix these tables. Some records are descriptive and quite lengthy, so I split the table line into pieces with returns and put them into a separate long field where each record can be easily seen and edited or merged with the previous one. I needed to trap deleteKey or backspaceKey messages to prevent accidental deletions, but allow them if they are explicitly selected. Thanks for your help :-) and all the best!

Revolution and the Web, focus on IDE Add-ons
Hello folks, I've seen my little topic grew to the point of not being related to the thing I had in mind anymore. People here talking about morfik and about engine changes, I want again to try to focus on what can be done now by a group of volunteers by using nothing but revolution ide add-ons... no externals, no engine changes, no third party technologies (except maybe xsltproc which is standard on unix machines). Let us try to focus on a tool that picks a given stack, process it and exposes user selected methods as a RPC endpoint. The RPC system should be simple enough so that we can implement the other side of it in javascript. This alone will greatly help what we're doing. We're babies on web development, let us take baby steps. Objective of this first phase: * Create a Remote Procedure Call system that is able to expose revolution handlers or functions as something accesible by a networked client. Implement this as a selfcontained library, no magic stuff, just plain code. (possibly REST inspired) * Create a plugin thing to help with the RPC code, maybe allowing you to select methods on the topstack to be exposed and thus having the tool write the stubs for it. * Create the javascript library to access that RPC system. * Create a tool that writes glue code to match revolution exposed methods to javascript methods thus hiding the RPC side from the developer. I think those are reasonable objectives for a first experiment, what people here think?

Lua seems a very attractive language. What do you use it for? Any
relation to your Rev work?
I particularly appreciated the following (from http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_programming_language):
Table as structure
Tables are often used as structures (or objects) by using strings as
keys. Because such use is very common, Lua features a special syntax
for accessing such fields.
Example:
point = { x = 10, y = 20 } -- Create new table
print( point[x] )-- Prints 10
print( point.x ) -- Has exactly the same meaning as line
above
Table as array
By using a numerical key, the table resembles an array data type.
A simple array of the strings:
array = { a, b, c, d } -- Indexes are assigned automatically
print( array[2] )-- Prints b
An array of objects:
function Point(x,y) -- Point object constructor
return {x = x, y = y} -- Creates and returns a new object (table)
end
array = { Point(10,20), Point(30,40), Point(50,60) } -- Creates
array of points
print( array[2].y )-- Prints 40

private handlers in a public library
What are the best practices for hiding private handlers in a public library? I Googled 'private handler' site:lists.runrev.com and similar terms without finding the answer. If the topic's been covered and I missed it, please excuse me. Here's a technique that uses the executionContexts: on privateHandlerInPublicLibrary if item 1 of line -2 of the executionContexts is long id of me then return the params the long time -- i.e., private stuff else pass privateHandlerInPublicLibrary end privateHandlerInPublicLibrary function privateFunctionInLibrary if item 1 of line -2 of the executionContexts is long id of me then return the params the long time -- i.e., private stuff else pass privateFunctionInLibrary end privateFunctionInLibrary getprop uPrivatePropertyInLibrary if item 1 of line -2 of the executionContexts is long id of me then return the params the long time -- i.e., private stuff else pass uPrivatePropertyInLibrary end uPrivatePropertyInLibrary setprop uPrivatePropertyInLibrary if item 1 of line -2 of the executionContexts is long id of me then return the params the long time -- i.e., private stuff else pass uPrivatePropertyInLibrary end uPrivatePropertyInLibrary Object backScripts would make it simpler, but what's best now? -- Dick ___ 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: private handlers in a public library
Depending on what you need to achieve, you can put data in script locals in your library, write some setter and getter handlers (an interface, if you like), and then the data is private... Other than that, you might hide the handlers in objects in the library stack, and use a lot of sends. Seems like it would be a lot of trouble, your way seems better, but with the caveat that the execution contexts is 'unsupported' (private?) and might concievably change in the future, breaking your library. Of course, if you really want to hide things, you could password protect your library, and only tell it's users about the handlers you want them to know about.

Re: Delay before sound starts playing
Recently, Fred Moyer wrote: I'm trying to create a stack where the user can play a solo instrument along with a sound file that plays an accompaniment. ... The problem is that if there's too long a delay with no input from the user, the computer's sound system seems to goes into some kind of hibernation mode so that when the user clicks the mouse, there is a delay before the music starts again. (I notice that there's even a delay in beep in Revolution if the computer has been silent for a while.) Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Any possible solutions? I've run into something like this a while ago. Is it possible that this is an older version of Mac OSX and/or an older version of Rev? In any event, I got sidetracked and never followed up on it, but I seem to recall thinking about trying to play silence sporadically to keep the audio busy -- maybe making a 1 second WAV file of silence to occupy the engine/system and playing it every so often.
