Re: Way to read from USB port with Rev?

The way to do this might be to use a bar code reader that looks to the computer 
like a keyboard.  It will not matter if it is USB.  Standard ones using the AT 
connector often go on a Y type connector, so that either the keyboard or the 
reader can enter data.

If you do this, it doesn't matter what the application is or even what the OS 
is.  You do not need any drivers (other than OS support for USB keyboards).   
You just need the cursor in the correct field, and then any triggers of the 
reader will put the read code, followed by ENTER, into it, and you handle it as 
needed.

I have not tried this yet in Revolution, but have verified that a Y connected 
reader which emulates a keyboard will supply data to a spreadsheet in both 
Windows or Linux, and to any of several word processors, so am sure that if the 
cursor is in an editable Rev field, the data will arrive.

MySQL truncates diacritic and accented characters...

2007-01-02 Thread Viktoras Didziulis
Happy new year for all and everybody!
 
I know there are MySQL experts on this list :-). The problem I encountered
recently with the MySQL 5 is that while loading table from file it truncates
all strings in varchar fields that have an accented or diacritic characters
(these are names of taxonomists). Thus for example (Lacépède, 1803) is
truncated to (Lac. Varchar maximum length is set to 255 and the length of
the most truncated strings is below 20. Is there an easy way to overcome
this misbehavior of the MySQL when populating tables from a file ?
 
Tried using CHARSET utf8 when creating table or field, but it did not help
either... Maybe collation would help, but which one - the default causes the
truncation ?
 
Best wishes

RE: Hairlines and Scaling

2007-01-02 Thread Mark Powell
Hi Joe

You might also consider the strategy of creating/maintaining the vectors
in an oversized stack, say 2000 x 3000 pixels in size, then exporting
cards as needed as GIF, JPG or whatever file format your program can
scale, print, or otherwise consume.  (See the export command in the
docs).  If you need a more easily viewable image in your native Rev
stack, I can imagine a scheme where you create thumbnails for viewing
within Rev.  However, not sure how you would go about having a more
easily *manipulable* (scroll-free) image in Rev.  There is no zoom-in
capability, ala Illustrator or Photoshop.

Thanks for your response, Scott.

I suppose one method for me to achieve this effect will be to print my
output at a 50% magnification. This would reduce one pixel lines to half
a pixel. Of course this means that the objects themselves will have to
be drawn at twice their size in order to produce an accurately scaled
drawing. Using one of my other programming languages I was able to do
Hairlines; whether they were 1/2 pixel width or not, I'm not sure; but
they looked narrower. FYI, I'm planning to write a program that can be
used to create shop drawings of a manufacturer's product by providing
digital input, rather than having to actually draw the items. Once I've
figured out how to do this it will reduce the time to produce these
drawings, properly label and date everything to minutes instead of the
days it now takes; even using CAD systems.

Again, thanks,

 Rev cannot natively display a true line object less than 1 pixel in 
 thickness since it does not currently support sub-pixel positioning, 
 but even then, all you might wind up with is a blurred line that 
 occupies more than 1 pixel in thickness.  Are you perhaps trying to 
 create a scalable display or something else?

 The only way I can think of to accomplish something like this is to 
 use an image that has space around the line that will antialias when 
 scaled.  Not sure if this helps.

2007-01-02 Thread Viktoras Didziulis
Sorry for a monologue, posting just in case somebody encounters similar
problem with truncated charsets in MySQL. 
The other solution is describe field with: 
myfieldname VARCHAR(45) CHARACTER SET binary 
and an alternative from: 
myfieldname VARBINARY(45) 
 
However the following won't work - 2 byte characters will still be truncated
(even if I change the session's charset to utf8): 
myfieldname VARCHAR(45) BINARY 
myfieldname VARCHAR(45) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin

Hi Folks,

it is with imense happyness that I make available what I came to  call 
RevOnRockets package. This package is a bundle of a web  server, 
libraries and demos, everyting in 100% transcript.


The objective is to help the aspiring web developer (and the  seasoned 
one) to create their web applications, the RevHTTP server  runs inside 
the Revolution IDE and is able to run text file based  cgis as well as 
serve files, this alone enables everyone to  develop for the web from 
inside rev, using the debugger!!!  Develop and Test your CGIs from 
inside revolution!


This is of course freeware with source. All code is commented, 
specially the webserver code. I give this to this wonderful  community 
as a token of gratitude for all the years that everyone  and his dog 
helped me!


What is included:
* RevHTTP - 100% transcript web server with new features and  cleaner 
code.

* EasyCGI Core library - a simple library for building text file  cgis.
* EasySessions - a simple library for session management.
* EasyDebug - a error report tool for CGIs.
* libCGI compatibilty functions - RevHTTP has a compatible API  that 
allows libCGI based apps to run inside it.

* Demos for all libraries and even AJAX demos!!!

More documentation is expected as time goes. The demos and the 
libraries will also have updates. Right now they are very bare but  I 
do like them and use them everyday.


Have I mentioned that I commented my code yet?

ALL FREE license is: cannot-blame-the-brazilian-guy-if-it- 
explodes-public-license 1.0


Have fun! file is here http://andregarzia.com/RevHTTP.zip

Launch http.rev and click start!

happy 2007 everyone

Re: Hairlines and Scaling

2007-01-02 Thread Joe Lewis Wilkins
Mark, thanks for your thoughts. I'm already working with a 2592x1728  
pixel (36x24 @ 72 pixel per inch) sized stack as a drawing pad, and  
am trying to figure out a method of moving around either with scroll  
bars or a hand, and probably some zooming in and out capability. Even  
drawing with Rev appears to be a little strange; doing it with  
objects rather than painted lines. Not so obviously, once getting  
accustomed to this approach, it really makes for a far better  
documented drawing, with quantities and sizes available for material  
take-offs; just a slightly different mind-set.


If anyone on the list has explored programs that do these sorts of  
things, I'm all ears!


TIA,

Joe Wilkins

libdb_registerDatabase is a command, libdb_getSQLDump is a function.   
You always have to store the return value of a function somewhere,


I also thought that if you put a value in the last parameter  
mysqldump.sql

it would write it to a file


That is correct.  libdb_getSQLDump will store the contents to a file

Printing Help in Rev and Standalone

2007-01-02 Thread Reuben Rivera

Hello,
I'd like to have my application built with rev to prompt
the user with the standard Mac OS X printer prompt
so that they can select the printer they want to use
and how many copies they want to make.  I've used
a couple of of commands but without success after
converting it to a standalone application.   The commands
I have used are:

open printing with dialog

When I use this command in the standalone (Mac OSX), the prompt
will show up once, fail to print and never show up again on future
requests to print.

I have also used:

show RevShowPrintDialog

I made sure when selecting the Standalone Settings
that I included the the rev print library for this command by selecting
it from the select inclusions for standalone application button  
under the

standalone settings.  When requesting to print a card under this
format, I get no prompt at all once the standalone is created.

Under both commands, I do get the prompt while in Rev, but
not as a standalone.  Is there a piece of magic code I am
missing?  Have I selected the wrong rev library?  Is the force
not with me?

Thanks,
Reuben Rivera

I also had to resort to BLOB to handle this. If I remember correctly
this is a problem with the runrev db libraries rather than with the
database itself, since I could insert the chars outside rev, but my
memory may be faulty on this point.

Altbrowser html page communication with application?

2007-01-02 Thread Ralf Bitter

Hi,

as I don't own an Altbrowser license and didn't find anything
related in the archives I would like to ask the list members:
Is there a way to send a message from an html page,
displayed with the help of Altbrowser, to the rev standalone?
Are there any events may be triggered by Javascript, which
cause the application to receive a message (preferably with
parameters attached) from the web page?

for every link clicked in an altBrowser window, the stack will

libdb_registerDatabase is a command, libdb_getSQLDump is a function.   
You always have to store the return value of a function somewhere,

 I also thought that if you put a value in the last parameter  
 mysqldump.sql
 it would write it to a file

That is correct.  libdb_getSQLDump will store the contents to a file  
but you still need to call the function correctly.  Try changing your  
syntax and see if it works.

better than that, with altBrowser2 (Thanks Chipp and Chris for this  
amazing product),  there's a property htmlText of the altBrowser, you  
can generate a text string and set altBrowser2 to it without ever  
touching the disk. I use this for previewing HTML changes on a

How to test Rev in other platforms?

2007-01-02 Thread Mark Swindell
I just made a standalone of a project I've been working on.  It runs  
fine in OS X (and OS 9).


So I borrowed a friend's laptop and ran the Windows exe (I don't have  
a Windows machine or Windows rev license for Windows).  There's a  
problem, but I can't figure out what's causing it.


Is there a way within Rev for a person figure out what's wrong on the  
Windows side of things without buying a WIndows machine and  
development environment?

as a simple way to debug try going to your standalone settings and  
to the bug tab, include in your standalone the error report tool  
and allow it to send an email to you. In this email, you'll see the

In this case, however, nothing is broken, it just doesn't work

Mark,

then it is more difficult... Enterprise licensees (I can't spell in  
english, you know) will be able to install development environment in  
all OS... if you're a studio owner and just want to get that  
standalone working, then, the quickest shot is since you have your  
friends laptop with you, you can download a studio trial for Win32  
and debug it with the trial... don't know I am usually doing  
network stuff where I don't generate standalones. :-)

Determining SSL Authenticity

Does anyone know how to determine SSL authenticity.  For example, if I'm 
connected to https://www.somedomain.com/securepage.php;, other than the 
 s after http, how can I find out the certificate information?


Or do I just trust the fact that since the s is after http that it's 
secure?

Derek,

if the certificate is not valid, the SSL library will return you an  
error. Actually, in some cases, it returns an error even for valid  
certificates... I don't know if you can find the certificate  
information from inside Rev, if you are using MacOS X then you can  
use cURL or some other unixland tool to query the certificate data  
but I never tried that.

Andre,

Thank you so much for your response.  I'm afraid I was a little unclear 
as to my intentions.  I am implementing altBrowser into one of my 
projects, and unfortunately, altBrowser does not return whether IE knows 
 if the server is secure.  I'm looking for a way of determining this 
within Revolution so I can display that on the screen.


I just looked over the built-in documentation for SSL and couldn't find 
much other than the encrypt and decrypt functions.  I need a way to 
determine if the url that altBrowser is looking at is actually secure.


Any ideas? :)

It's software by a research team that automatically generates a 3D

what should be vertical. There are some amazing images on their web
