I suppose the tests could be written out as text files and subversed, and it's an interesting idea, but one I haven't had to put into play. Here's a simple db table-creation test.

Re: Number of chars in a line limit?
Ron, The number of chars that can be displayed per line is over 60,000. The number of chars that a line can contain appears to be unlimited (we have situations where they exceed 100,000). I don't know of a good workaround for the display limit.

Number of chars in a line limit?
Greetings, Is there a limit to the number of chars on a single line? Line means words with spaces between them but no return. I have been formatting some long text sections with no return and those with >10,000 or so chars have some difficulty displaying in a text field, especially at higher point sizes. Is there a limit and if so, is there a way around the display problems?

Just played a little with real-time image manipulation in Rev.

Here is a small joke-stack in legacy format: go stack url http://ekoinf.net/fire3.rev it burns any selected image :-), click the fire button, choose image and watch it burning. Different patterns emerge depending on image selected. Click the mouse again or press Shift to stop burning.

Yes, you are correct. You can simulate it an option button in a background group, and then set custom card properties and preOpenCard handlers that restore the value that had been set for each card.

Guys, this has all been covered already... :-)
Here's the basic problem for Vista:
Tip: "Vista 'Gotchas' You Should Know About"
http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/env007.htm
And the suggested approach has been in emails to the list (which I'm
going to turn into another tip so I don't have to hunt it down each
time):
Best would be to create your program with just a "stub" (also
called "splash") executable (that all it does is launch and open
another stack file on disk. This way, you can install your stub program
in the Program Files folder, the rest of the running stack(s) that make
up your program in the user's Application Data folder, and then save
any data that the user generates into the user's Documents folder.
What that translates to on XP and Vista is:
1) Main Executable Stub
Install Location: specialFolderPath(38)
Windows XP - C:\Program Files
Windows Vista - C:\Program Files
2) Additional Program Stacks
Install Location: specialFolderPath(26)
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data
Windows Vista - C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Roaming
3) Generated User Documents
Install Location: specialFolderPath(5) [another form is
specialFolderPath("documents")]
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\My Documents
Windows Vista - C:\Users\Ken\Documents
If you don't already have this page bookmarked, I would suggest it:
Tip file010: 'specialFolderPath' Codes

> permissions problems with that, what then?
Well, there's the rub - there isn't a simple answer. The problem is
that for truly "locked down" users, the application itself would need
to elevate its permissions to take actions that the currently logged-in
user's permissions do not allow. OS X we can do with "sudo" and get
authorization; Trevor just found a way to ask for authorization under
Vista, but for other Windows flavors there isn't a solution for
Revolution that's been made known.
What I've ended up needing to do is to request that Windows users get
added to the "Power Users" group, which gives them some form of
elevated access, but doesn't quite make them "Administrators". However
some companies won't even allow that...
So the bottom line is that until we have an "All Users" solution in
place for all platforms, best is to either install for a single user or
to get someone with Admin privileges to install for All Users (they may
have to authenticate or acknowlege a security dialog in Vista if the
User Account Control is turned on).

Not meaning to trouble the harmony of this list, but well strange things keep happing on my network... this time no music being played, but while browsing a little dialog popped up I take it from teh browser - but it had a safari icon in the dialog which basically said something along the lines of "Downloading file wap.x.jar" - which I did not appreciate. As I was coding at the time - this dialog came out of the blue and as I had idea where it came from - well i quickly switched of the wifi and started to search for this file (in the mean time the dialog disappeared - it never asked if I wanted to download the file). I searched for a file of this name with spotlight and nothing turned up - any ideas. links or references? This episode combined with the one a couple of weeks back makes me think I have a local wireless hacker. - http://www.informit.com/guides/content.asp?g=security&SeqNum=158&rl=1 ___ 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

Guys, this has all been covered already... :-)
Here's the basic problem for Vista:
Tip: "Vista 'Gotchas' You Should Know About"
http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/env007.htm
And the suggested approach has been in emails to the list (which I'm
going to turn into another tip so I don't have to hunt it down each
time):
Best would be to create your program with just a "stub" (also
called "splash") executable (that all it does is launch and open
another stack file on disk. This way, you can install your stub program
in the Program Files folder, the rest of the running stack(s) that make
up your program in the user's Application Data folder, and then save
any data that the user generates into the user's Documents folder.
What that translates to on XP and Vista is:
1) Main Executable Stub
Install Location: specialFolderPath(38)
Windows XP - C:\Program Files
Windows Vista - C:\Program Files
2) Additional Program Stacks
Install Location: specialFolderPath(26)
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data
Windows Vista - C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Roaming
3) Generated User Documents
Install Location: specialFolderPath(5) [another form is
specialFolderPath("documents")]
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\My Documents
Windows Vista - C:\Users\Ken\Documents
If you don't already have this page bookmarked, I would suggest it:
Tip file010: 'specialFolderPath' Codes
http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/file010.htm

Well, there's the rub - there isn't a simple answer. The problem is
that for truly "locked down" users, the application itself would need
to elevate its permissions to take actions that the currently logged-in
user's permissions do not allow. OS X we can do with "sudo" and get
authorization; Trevor just found a way to ask for authorization under
Vista, but for other Windows flavors there isn't a solution for
Revolution that's been made known.
What I've ended up needing to do is to request that Windows users get
added to the "Power Users" group, which gives them some form of
elevated access, but doesn't quite make them "Administrators". However
some companies won't even allow that...
So the bottom line is that until we have an "All Users" solution in
place for all platforms, best is to either install for a single user or
to get someone with Admin privileges to install for All Users (they may
have to authenticate or acknowlege a security dialog in Vista if the
User Account Control is turned on).

Re: Finding cr Character in Lines read from a file???
Hi Dave, Probably, your file contains actual returns (ASCII 13), which are translated to linefeeds by Revolution, if the file is read as text. To make it "easy", linefeed, lf, cr and return all return ASCII 10 rather than ASCII 13. Only crlf contains both a real linefeed and a real return character. If you want to use an actual carriage return, use numtochar(13). If you are parsing lines, you might never get at the linefeed. Syntax like put line 1 of myVar will never include the line delimiter. It is not considered part of the line. There are two things you can do. Either read the file as binary data and search for ASCII 13. open file myFile for binary read read from file myFile until EOF put it into myVar close file myFile -- now do whatever you want to do with it replace numToChar(13) with "%" in myVar or read the file as text and handle the linefeeds open file myFile for read read from file myFile until EOF put it into myVar close file myFile -- now do whatever you want to do with it replace cr with "%" in myVar Best regards, Mark Schonewille -- Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http;//www.salery.com Quickly extract data from your HyperCard stacks with DIFfersifier. http://differsifier.economy-x-talk.com Op 29-jun-2007, om 17:06 heeft Dave het volgende geschreven: Hi, I have a file that has "cr" (0x0D) terminators on each line.

Re: Astrology and Art
Hello. I've never seen an astrology stack or plugin made with Revolution, however if you're handy with making such calculations I wouldn't be surprised if you could make one pretty quickly. As for print resolution, Revolution can export graphics in most major formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF, EPS). Each of these go into Photoshop without worry.

AW: Writing to Win programm files dir?
Hi Scott, ok, that's what I thought. And what do you do if the user can save data in your app / stack? Do you separate the app without saving feature, written to program files and other stacks with saving, writing to app data?

Deleting files on Vista
I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem for a fellow on Vista. And he's not very forthcoming with info. Or rather, his description is simply wrong when I ask him questions, or he doesn't answer the question asked, but provides other non-related info instead. So I do not trust that he has followed my instructions :-) In Vista, if I can create files to a location, shouldn't I also be able to delete them? Is there any chance that Vista allows creation, but not deletion? The files in question would include text files created with "open file... write to file..." and stacks creating using "put... into binfile:..." This fellows description of his problem tells me that files exist. I told him to run the uninstaller built into the game and he claims to have done this, but based on his issue the files are still there. My uninstalIer even includes VirtualStore. # x tries several locations in a repeat loop put specialFolderPath(x) & "/VirtualStore" into dPath put "/someFile" after dPath if there is a file dPath then delete file dPath end if He does have Vista. So does Vista allow create and not delete? And is it possible to delete from VirtualStore?

What if the typist thinks 'Ander" is good enough, then decides that another char or two is required after seeing the match string filled in? They can just hit tab or return and the name is chosen. Some programs show the choices in a dropDown menu and only do the complete if the user chooses, let say, down arrow then tab key (like Excel) Are you showing all choices or just one that is the closest? I show all choices in a separate field that "pops up" beneath the entry field. I had tried combo boxes but that was a mess that didn't do the selection and scrolling the way I wanted. Thanks for the feedback, Jim. Devin On 6/28/07 5:02 PM, "Devin Asay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, I have looked at this one until I'm cross-eyed, and I can't figure out the problem. I am working on a program in which there are a couple of fields that need to be filled in with user names. I keep a list of users in a separate field. With some help from some of you here, I have implemented a "type-ahead", auto-completion search that searches the list of names with each keystroke, and auto-completes the entry field if it finds that the string I have typed matches the beginning of one of the names in the list. The rest of the matched name, the part I haven't typed yet is added to the field, but remains selected. If I hit return or tab, the matched name is left in the field. It's a common feature, you see it in web browser URL fields, for example. It all works fairly well, except for one big problem. If the user types very rapidly, after 2 or 3 characters typed, and a name is matched, the insertion point jumps to the end of the field, *after* the selected auto-completed text, then characters are entered at the end of the field, instead of staying at the original insertion point. I'm afraid I'm not explaining it very well, but if anyone has a couple of minutes and a pair of fresh eyeballs, would you mind looking at: go stack URL "http://asay.byu.edu/typeAheadSearch.rev"; Just start typing, say, my name, starting with the last name. You'll see the list pop up and it will start to match "A" names. As long as you type slowly you're fine. But as soon as you start typing fast-- try "anderson", for example--you'll see the problem I'm running into. This example stack leaves out some of the details of key handling, but demonstrates the problem. I would appreciate any suggestions, and I'll be happy to share the completed code with anyone who's interested.

Re: AW: The Art of Dissolving Splash Screens
Hiya, There's no real ability for the HD to have folders, they are just an OS construct. Folders are files which point to where the files 'inside' the folder are. In a Mac app, the .app extension (if set to visible) just tells the OS that 'in there' lies an executable. Cheers, Luis.

Re: AW: The Art of Dissolving Splash Screens
one can stuff almost anything - images, scripts, stylesheets into a dll file and then use these resources through res:// protocol. Occasionally I used Microsoft's HTA (Html application) technology before I found Revolution. It allows to develop an application using html/css/javascript+activex, create the "front" start.hta that loads and uses all the things (stylesheets, javascripts, bitmaps) on request from whatever.dll like a SQL query. Drawback of HTA is that it is MS Windows only and patented by Microsoft, so unlikely to become multiplatform. However Adobe with its AIR somehow managed to overcome patenting issues and is releasing similar thing for all platforms.

Well, if you have a handler that is quite long (larger than one full screen's worth), you would have to keep scrolling up and down to copy and paste variables. If you copy and paste it may not be more *typing*, but it's still a PITA which you don't need to do if your variables are not declared. Personally, my feeling is "whatever works for you, works for you" - by that I mean that over the years of not declaring xTalk variables I have gotten to the point that the likelihood of me making an error in typing a variable is extremely low, so there really is very little benefit and a lot of extra hassle for me to start declaring them. But that's me... Anything that makes the process more efficient is good, IMHO. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

Stacks, sounds, picture files, movie files, everything. I agree it is nice. But it has pararells with other executable formats. On Windows (OK not in Rev but in other IDE's) I can do the same inside the exe and using a resource compiler or editor you can add or subtract them at will. Technically the exe is just a package though we are used to thinking of them as files.

The need to respond to such a dialog once per local variable would be (at least for me) a small price to pay - and is certainly much lighter a burden than the need to add a declaration for each. I don't declare variables because I do find that it is easier to use the Var Watcher to pick up typos than it is to go through the hassle of all the extra typing to declare variables - where I can make extra typos anyway;-( This is something I can't understand. When I edit code (whatever the language) I type the name of the variable once and once only and maybe I don't type the whole thing at all. I then use copy/paste to paste the variable into where it is being used. For instance, given the following: local myRedValue local myBlueValue local myGreenValue local myAverageValue To get this, I typed "local myRedValue", then copied that line and pasted it back 3 times. Then edited "Red" to "Blue" and "Green" and "Average" in the 3 new lines. Then to get this: put (myRedValue + myBlueValue + myGreenValue) / 3 into myAverageValue I typed "put ( + + ) / 3 into " and then copied/pasted myRedValue, myBlueValue, myGreenValue and myAverageValue into the correct positions. In fact I used the same technique to do the above! That's why I can't see the argument that's it's more typing, it really isn't, and the bugs that can be caused by not declaring your locals are so hard to find that I really can't see any reason not to declare them.
