There used to be an option in the standalone builder to include these
standard images, but that disappeared a while ago. It always seemed a
bit extravagant to include every image when you on;y needed one or two
anyway. My preference is to place the images in my stack, give them a
high ID number so they cannot conflict with any standard icons, then
hide them. After that your buttons can use them as icons whenever
needed.

Some people like to make a 2 card stack with all the images on the 2nd
card, or to make a sub-stack that contains all their images. If you do
either of these, then you don't have to hide them. I guess it just
depends how many images you need to deal with.

Cheers,
Sarah

Re: Resolved--> Re: Bug prevents Rev from building a standalone PC application

[Phil Davis]

Along the same line - I discovered the other day that the Standalone Builder 
(2.8.1 gm3) will not (or would not in my case) build a standalone with a Rev 
file whose extension is not ".rev".

Okay, that makes some sense to me. You can refer to a stack in a script 
by either its short name (the one in stack properties) or by its file 
path. Apparently the engine assumes that a stack name with an extension 
is a file path on disk. I can see how this might mess up the standalone 
builder, which probably always assumes that the short name is never a 
disk-based reference.


Stack names in the property inspector should never include an extension, 
I suspect.

Re: drawer question

[Richard Gaskin]

With all the talk about drawers, it may be helpful to remember that 
disclosure triangles are still a recommended UI element in Apple's HIG:




And unlike drawers, disclosure triangles are a common element on just 
about all other platforms too.


Easy to implement, standard on all platforms, with no penalty for use on 
OS X.  What's not to love? :)

Re: drawer question

[Mark Swindell]

Thanks Wilhelm and Scott.  I've recrafted the effect I want using  
revChangeWindowSize, and it works nicely.  I've never liked drawers  
very much, to tell the truth, but for this one application the idea  
of them is right. I think it is better implemented with the built-in  
routines, though, and now I don't have to monkey with anything for  
the Windows version.


I looked at your stack yesterday after coming across it in Gmane,  
Wilhelm.  Nice work.  I've saved the stack for future reference.

All these routines can be used also with older versions of Metacard

RE: testing CGI help? paypal

[Robert Mann]

It took me a week but I figured out my problem.
After some consulting with paypal support they told me to try the live site
not sandbox, it did not work at first but then I went through and completely
set up the business paypal account and it started to work. So not sure what
part of the paypal setup that made it start to work. I am now trying to do
the same with sandbox but not have much luck.

including images from standard library...

[viktoras didziulis]

Hi,
I use Revolution 2.6.1 to build executables (for Windows, MacOSX and 
Linux) that use images from Revolution's own standard image library. In 
a script images are referred to using their numeric id. Everything works 
within the IDE, but these images do not appear in the compiled 
application. How can I enforce the images from the standard library be 
imported during compilation of a stack ? Or is manual placement of these 
standard images on a stack the only way to do this?


Best wishes
Viktoras
