Bigger is better

[Cal Horner]

I have a Background object that I use as a pin board in one of my projects.
I have made this pin board a scrolling group object .  I have managed to
make the Background object 32767 x 32765. Which suits at present.

What bothers me is the worry that I may need to make the background object
larger than 32767 x 32767. You know the old saying "Bigger is Better"?

I have tried using the properties panel to enlarge the background, but the
panel seems to disappear into another time continuum when the number goes
above 32767

Is this a limit imposed by Revolution or do any of you have a tried and true
method for making a object  larger area than 32767 x 32767?

Re: (mac) application menu

[Mark Schonewille]

Peter,

When you use the Quit menu item, Mac OS X sends an event to  
Revolution. You can catch this message with the AppleEvent handler or  
the shutdownRequest handler. On Mac OS X, I prefer to use the  
AppleEvent handler most of the time.


If you use either the AppleEvent handler or the shutdownRequest  
handler without a pass command, the application will not quit by  
itself (you can also lock messages and issue the quit command).


When you press command-Q, the Quit menu item should work just like  
when you use the mouse to select this menu item and you can catch the  
AppleEvent and shutdownRequest messages again. However, your script  
may catch the commandKeyDown message. If you don't pass this message  
with the pass command, your application may not quit.


There are versions of Revolution that don't pass the commandKeydown  
message because of a bug. There are also versions that don't pass the  
AppleEvent message.


If you are using Rev 2.8.1, problems with quitting are probably due  
to a script.


Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

Re: Bigger is better

[SimPLsol]

Cal,
If I've done the math right, a 32767 pin board is over 10 meters square.
Even if it could be made larger, there would be a lot of scrolling on even 
the largest monitor available today.
I'm not sure what your goal is but there may be other ways of achieving it. 
Perhaps you could store each pinned object in an individual card and just 
display an index of the cards to find the appropriate one.

Not that I know of. I use a libURLftpUploadFile or
libURLDownloadToFile command with a callback. During the transfer I
monitor the URLstatus. In the callback, I check the status again and
it the status is "uploaded" or "downloaded", I just go on to issue the
next libURLftpUploadFile or libURLDownloadToFile command.

Yes, I check for errors after every transfer. If I encounter an error
then I stop the process myself.

Yes, it woould be neater if the same connection could be kept open,
however I have got a workable solution now.

Thanks for the quick response,
Sarah

Peter,

I believe that you must script the Quit menu to make it work when you  
choose Quit from the menu with the mouse. It is when you use the  
shortcut keys Command-Q that the OS takes over and quits no matter  
what you scripted. If you want to override this behavior you have to  
use an AppleScript routine. I know Ken Ray has a note on his web site  
about how to do this. See www.sonsothunder.com.

Re: Stack Files Pane in Property Inspector

[Sarah Reichelt]

> I've been wondering this for a while. What is the "Stack Files" Pane
> or in the Stack Property Inspector?

If your stack has to use other stacks that are not in the same file,
it needs to know where to find them. This pane allows you to tell the
stack which other stack files it will need and then you can just refer
to them by their short name instead of having to tell the stack where
they are. For example, suppose I have a stack that uses a library
called "RevLibrary". The library is kept in
"Users/sarah/Documents/Libraries/RevLibrary.rev" folder and the stack
I am working on is somewhere else. If I use this pane to tell my stack
where the library file is, then I can just say: start using stack
"RevLibrary" or go to stack "RevLibrary" and not have to worry where
the RevLibrary stack actually is. Also, when a standalone is built,
this library stack will be included automatically.

Cheers,
Sarah

Re: Windows Display Problems

Hi,

Thanks for the info!

If you just did this, it would be the same:

send "HandleProgressUpdate 0,0,100" to scrollbar "Progress" of card 1  
of stack "Progress"


send "HandleProgressSetCaption 0,0," & AddQuotes("Hello World") to  
field "Caption" of card 1 of stack "Progress"


Wow! I didn't know you could set stackFiles manually, cool!

Re: How do I create an Icon View

[mfstuart]

Hi Viktoras, anyone...
Thanx for the link, I've checked that out before - subscribed to the
newsletter. That example illustrates the left hand side of the form.

Really what I'm trying to do is the right hand side of the Icons View
display.
On either platform - OSX or WinXP - if you load the Finder or Win Explorer,
you can opt for the Icons View.
On the left hand side are the folders, on the right hand side are the
details of the selected folder, displayed as icons, with an associated name.
This right hand side is what I'm trying to build.

Would someone kindly describe how to do this?

Thanx,
Mark Stuart

Re: Windows Display Problems

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Dave,

I don't understand:
You say you use send "ProgressUpdate theProgressAmount" to stack  
"Progress"

And you send code snippets that refer to HandleProgressUpdate?
In addition, this code is in the progress bar's script and not in the  
stack's script.
Have you a ProgressUpdate handler in the script of your "Progress"  
stack?
This is the one that would be fine to know in order to be able to  
help you.

Re: Windows Display Problems

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Dave,

I'm sorry too.
I copied pasted the wrong line!
You write:


send "ProgressUpdate "theProgressAmount" to stack "Progress"


I just wanted to tell you that this above line can't work:
Or you write 'send "ProgressUpdate theProgressAmount" to stack  
"Progress"'

Or 'send "ProgressUpdate" && theProgressAmount to stack "Progress"'
But not 'send "ProgressUpdate "theProgressAmount" to stack "Progress"'
There is a problem with quotes here :-)

If you could send the code in ProgressUpdate, it would be easier to  
help you...

Hi,

Sorry you have lost me! What are you saying? Do I need to change  
the way I do the "Send" ?



It's not just the progress window, how can this ever work if when  
you say put xxx into field y it doesn't change the screen?


Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave

Quick response:

Are you doing anything that might close the socket used after each  
transfer? This would cause a new session to be opened with the  
server, while the server might see the previous session as still  
being open.


Are you checking for errors after each download? An error would cause  
libUrl to close the socket, which might result in what you are seeing.


Decreasing the stop time as you did causes the session to close  
cleanly (using the QUIT command) which will keep the server happy.  
However, you shouldn't have to do this.

Re: Scriptlimits Barrier

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Bridger,

You can't set scripts (longer than 10 lines?) in a standalone. Why  
don't you use a stack to store the objects and copy these objects  
from the stack into the standalone when needed?

Mark Schonewille

Hello,
  I am writing an app in which I would like to save objects to a  
file, and
restore them later.  I am able to store all of their properties as  
XML and
restore the object fine in the IDE, but the scriptlimits poses a  
problem.
Because many of these objects need script to be restored, it is  
impossible
to recreate them in a standalone without hitting the scriptlimits  
barrier.
Is there an alternative way around this?  Does the scriptlimits  
apply when
you use the copy command?  Perhaps I should use a frontscript that  
acts as
the script for different types of objects.  Neither of these  
workarounds
sounds particularly clean to me though.  If anyone has any  
experience with

this kind of problem I would love to hear your thoughts.

Re: Multiuser or not multiuser

[Henk van der Velden]

Hi William,

goeiemiddag..

Indeed, the other question is how to approach the multi-user issue in  
this case.
Blocking clients like this can be a bit unfriendly, and it also poses  
issues when the 'inuse' variable isn't saved properly. You could end  
up with a completely blocked application.


One approach could be to use a database. Database engines have their  
own record blocking mechanisms, so one user can't overwrite the  
record of another user.


Or, if you don't want to setup a database, you could probably create  
a folder on every day, and have each user add his / her own textfile  
to that folder. If you put both the username and the chosen lunch  
into the file, a user could eventually turn back and change his choice.
You could create another app that collects all the text files and  
creates a list out of it.


Kind regards,
Henk

Re: (mac) application menu

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Peter,

Standalone settings are kept in a custom property set that Rev  
creates automatically at the stack level.
It's named cRevStandaloneSettings and shows up in the stack's  
property palette if 'View/Revolution UI Elements in Lists' menu item  
is checked.
Probably you could check some of these custom properties to find this  
name that should not show up and modify it manually.

Re: Windows Display Problems

[xavier . bury]

Hi Dave - nice to scan u2!

Funny, i had the same setup in my old server operations control panel 
stack with nearly the same number and functions of calls...

[long term memory restore]

I had problems with that setup besides the missed screen updates i recall, 
i scratched the update dialog also because it couldn't catch an event when 
i press the cancel button while
something else was running in the back (unless i did lots more additions 
to my already big loop)!. 

I put the progress back in a group that was just a group simulating a 
dialog over the main interface window - and it worked out much better 
though it didn't look as professional... Some limitations sometimes 
requires these silly workarounds. :))

cheers

Re: Windows Display Problems

[Dave]

Hi Xavier,

Long time no scan! Thanks for the help on this. The way I am using  
the Progress Bar is as follows:



The progress stack had a number of Command Handlers that get called  
by the using stack:


ProgressInitialize - Initializes the Progress Bar and set the Ending  
Limit in the Scroll Bar.

ProgressFinalize - Closes the Progress Stack.
ProgressUpdate  - Sets the Value of the Scroll Bar,
ProgressSetCaption - Sets a message to be displayed in a field.

The main stack then works like this:

go stack "Progress"  --Initially Hiddens
set the defaultStack to 

send "ProgressInitialize theProgressEndValue" to stack "Progress"

then in a loop:

ProgressSetCaption("The Caption")
send "ProgressUpdate "theProgressAmount" to stack "Progress"


and finally

send "ProgressFinalize " to stack "Progress"  --Hides the Progress  
Window and closes it


That's about it really. This works fine on a mac!

All the Best
Dave

Hi Dave,

I've seen this happen often. Seemingly the application is hung while 
working (most noticeable on vmware, citrix or Terminal
servers)...

What works in these cases is giving your monitoring window (progress bar) 
a real event instead of a "Send" update
event. Sending the update event usually means that there is a wait and 
sometimes this 
event never seems to get there. Another issue is the lock screen which 
sometimes doesn't unlock out of context.

I may be wrong and never really investigated since im the sole user of my 
programs which usually run all day long
updating things - so when i dont see something updated, i know where to 
look...

Please give us more details how you update your progress bar to get an 
idea...

Regards,
-=-
Xavier Bury

Try this in the message box:

put chartoNum(lf) && chartoNum(cr)


Just use numToChar(10) for linefeed.

Dave

try:

open file for binary read
.

I think that should leave the line ending characters intact.

Re: Read from file problem

Hi,

I tied all this, unfortunately it doesn't work, cos (on Mac anyway)  
cr = lf = 0x0A, e.g. RunRev maps cr or lf into a lf.


Try this in the message box:

put chartoNum(lf) && chartoNum(cr)

Cheers
Dave

Dave,

How about something like this. Untested, but the idea is:

Read in the lines as if they are all "cr" delimited. If the first  
character of a line is a linefeed, then you just passed a crlf  
ending (so just delete the linefeed). For any additional embedded  
linefeeds, split them off as new lines.



read from file theXMLFilePathName until cr
put it into tLine
if (char 1 of tLine = linefeed) then delete char 1 of tLine
replace linefeed with cr in tLine
repeat for each line l in tLine
   processLine l
end repeat


Hi,

I am trying to read text files line by line, but have come across  
a file that doesn't have consistent line endings. The command I  
use is:


  read from file theXMLFilePathName until cr

When I looked in the file it has some lines ending in cr, some in  
lf and some in crlf.


How can I read up to either of these characters (cr/lf) ?

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave

Windows Display Problems

[Dave]

Hi,

I have an that is built as a standalone, part of it uses a Stack/ 
Window to show a progress bar. On the Mac it works fine, on Windows  
however, it doesn't update, the window gets displayed, but the  
contents of a Text Field and the Progress bar itself never change.


Any ideas on what might cause this?

All the Best
Dave

When the first client gets access to the stack, they need to save it
after setting the "inuse" field to 2. Otherwise they are only changing
the copy in their own RAM and not doing anything to the copy filed on
the server. In the same way, once the client leaves the program, they
need to reduce the value of "inuse" and save again.

An alternative might be to have a text file on the server that just
stores whether the stack is in use, or possibly who is using it.

Cheers,
Sarah

Multiuser or not multiuser

[William de Smet]

Hi there,

I am working on a small restaurant app for my school.
Now there is a paper list where you put your name on and choose your lunch.
The teacher, who works with disabled children in the restaurant, wants it to
be more streamlined so therefore my app.

Because the app is put on a Server 2003 with XP clients it needs to be
multiuser or not.
What I did is that I put on startup the code:
on openstack
add 1 to fld "inuse"
if fld "inuse" = 1 then go stack "order"
if fld "inuse" = 2
then answer "Sorry, software in use try again in a few minutes!"
then quit stack "order"
end if
end openstack

This doesn't work with clients in a netwerk!

Is there a simple way to do wat I want?
Could anyone give me an example?
I am not that experienced with REV like most of you but I am getting better
in it ;-)

greetings,

William de Smet

Re: How do I create an Icon View

[viktoras didziulis]

Hi Mark,

if I understood you correctly, you need a field which displays contents 
of a folder (table, database, etc) in a list where icons indicate the 
type of a resource displayed.


Basically you will need to "set the imageSource of char 1 to yourimg" 
for each line in a field describing a resource. If you wish to show it 
in 2 or 3 columns - just insert tabs where appropriate, "set the 
itemdelimiter to tab", and "set the imageSource of char 1 to yourimg"  
for each item...


An example that might serve you as a source of ideas is described (and 
can be downloaded and reused) at

If I may explain a little more...
I would like the display to behave like the Icons View. This view is loaded
dynamically from say the contents of a folder, or selected rows in a SQL
database, or whatever the criteria. Even links to PDF files. User clicks on
the icon and the script launches and opens the file.

If I were to load each of the icons (an image) and icon text name
dynamically onto a form, what kind of container (or object) would I load
them into? A table object?
Would the contents be something like...?
First row:
Load the table object with an icon then TAB (as the delimiter) then icon,
etc., with the row height say upto something like 80.
Alternate row:
Name of the icon TAB (as delimiter) then icon, etc.

Is this how to approach it?

And would I have to set the property of this table object to HTMLtext, or
something? Not sure.

Thanx again,
Mark Stuart

Hi all,

On Mac and Win platforms, the Explorer and Finder have an Icon View.
Where each icon (and icon name) appear in a grid type of layout?

How would I create this type of layout with RunRev?

Thanx,
