Well, if the object of your desire has a Tab assigned to it in the

menu that lets you do any one the following:


- Edit Props of This Object

This handy contextual menu works on the active Tab in GLX2 or any

you right-click. I use this constantly to edit the script or

Re: [OT] A Hardware wish...

2008-03-18 Thread Phil Davis

Hi Alejandro,

A NAS device won't do it - at least not the ones I'm familiar with, but 
I haven't looked at them since I bought one a couple of years ago. Maybe 
they are smarter now. As you probably know, a NAS is basically a 
single-purpose computer that has a big HD, which only knows how to serve 
files. They are a great addition to your local network if you don't have 
a file server; and mine (and probably any) can also be configured to 
back itself up to a USB drive directly connected to it. But that's all 
mine knows how to do.


Jim Ault introduced me to StuffIt for automated backups (which I still 
don't use effectively, but...) StuffIt lets you schedule automatic, 
unattended backups of specific folders to FTP and .mac locations. Would 
that do it for you? It would run on your computer at night or whenever 
you tell it to.


If you want a separate piece of hardware to do the backup, I suppose you 
could put a cheap PC into your network DMZ and copy files to its StuffIt 
upload folder before you turn off your computer and go home at night.

Re: Printing with Rev 2.9.0

2008-03-18 Thread Stephen Barncard
We finally have most of the the functionality of John A. Nairn's 
wonderful Printreport from 1989.
Does anyone remember the XCMD? It was invaluable to me for the A&M 
Tape copy system project. Along with Compilit and Windowscript, I 
felt like I could build anything in xTalk.   Now I have it all in 3 
platforms!




I have an application which prints to an A4 printer and to a label
printer. Previously, I have had to make the users go through Page
Setup and Print dialogs every time the printer changed. Now I can do
the following which I thought others might be interested to see.

One off page setup for each printer:

set the printersettings to the cPrintSet["A4"] of this stack
answer page setup
put the result into tRes
if tRes is empty then
set the cPrintSet["A4"] of this stack to the printersettings
end if
..





Cheers,
Sarah

Printing with Rev 2.9.0

2008-03-18 Thread Sarah Reichelt
Hi All,

I would like to thanks Mark W. for his tireless efforts to solve the
problems I was having with the new printing commands in Rev 2.9. With
rc-1, it seems that the sudden quitting I was experiencing when
choosing certain printers has now stopped happening
. Thanks Mark
:-)

I have an application which prints to an A4 printer and to a label
printer. Previously, I have had to make the users go through Page
Setup and Print dialogs every time the printer changed. Now I can do
the following which I thought others might be interested to see.

One off page setup for each printer:

set the printersettings to the cPrintSet["A4"] of this stack
answer page setup
put the result into tRes
if tRes is empty then
set the cPrintSet["A4"] of this stack to the printersettings
end if

and repeat for the label printer, using & setting the cPrintSet["Label"].


On off printer setup for each printer:

set the printersettings to the cPrintSet["A4"] of this stack
answer printer
put the result into tRes
if tRes is empty then
set the cPrintSet["A4"] of this stack to the printersettings
end if

and repeat for the label printer, using & setting the cPrintSet["Label"].


Then for printing a label, I just have to do the following:

set the printersettings to the cPrintSet["Label"] of this stack
set the printmargins to "10,10,10,10"
revShowPrintDialog false, false
revPrintField the long name of fld "Label"

and similarly for printing an A4 report.

Note that it is necessary to put in the "revShowPrintDialog false,
false" line or you will get both print dialogs by default. I intend to
have a check to see whether page setup & print dialogs have already
been done for the specified printer, and if not, use this line to make
them happen once.

There are other features like setting printerOutput, printRanges etc.
If you want these to take effect, you MUST have "revShowPrintDialog
false, false" or those settings will be over-ridden by whatever is
chosen in the print dialog.

Note that Rev now does respect the page range specified in the Print
dialog, which is a fix of bug

[ANN] Visual Application Browser at RevLive!

2008-03-18 Thread Jerry Daniels

[Drum roll...]

RevLive! Conference attendees will be among the first in the world to  
see and purchase (conference discount!) the Visual Application Browser  
in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 8, 2008. (As you read this announcement,  
scantily-clad show girls and muscular, oil-covered men are being  
contracted for this event).


Visual Application Browser has been created and developed by Daniels &  
Mara--the creators of GLX2 Script Editor for Revolution based in  
Austin, Texas, USA.


The Visual Application Browser (VAB) features the following:

- an easy-to-use, browse-able Object Tree
- a Live Snapshot of your object's card
- a layout manager with alignment guides that appear as you move an  
object in the Live Snapshot

- a configure-able Property Editor
- a single window with Tabs just like GLX2

VAB has:

- direct links to and from GLX2
- a make-it-my-application-browser option
- a make-it-my-property-inspector option

With this handy tool, Revolution developers can now:

- Click an object in the Object Tree or Live Snapshot to edit its  
props or move/cut/copy/paste it.
- Click an object in VAB's Live Snapshot and see where it is in VAB's  
Object Tree.
- Know in a glance the ownership hierarchy of any object while editing  
its properties.
- Move a control around within VAB's Live Snapshot to line it up with  
some of its buddy controls.
- Move, copy, cut or paste controls to-and-from VAB's Object Tree  
quick-and-easy with short-cut keys.
- Re-layer a card, control or group by dragging and dropping it within  
the Object Tree.

- Edit groups by dragging and dropping controls via the Object Tree.
- Have a tab for every clicked object, just like GLX2 does with scripts.

Fledgling web site:

http://daniels-mara.com/vab

I've already started using an alpha verison of VAB and I have to say:  
it's VABULOUS!

Re: Palette Problem

2008-03-18 Thread Eric Chatonet

Hi Richmond,

Usually when this kind of problem comes up (there might be many  
reasons) just force the stack's style at preOpenstack:


on preOpenstack
  set the style of this stack to "palette"
end preOpenstack

Just a workaround that usually works :-)

Le 18 mars 08 à 19:52, Richmond Mathewson a écrit :


Mark Schonewille wrote:

"on mouseUp
   palette stack "XXX"
end mouseUp

If you are using Media, it might not work. If it
doesn't, use

  go stack "XXX" as palette"

Neither of which worked with either my stack under
DreamCard 2.6.1

or RR 2.9 most recent Beta!!!

This is very odd as I want my stack on opening to be a
Palette rather than a TopStack.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson

Eric Chatonet.

Re: GLX2 Web Browser Beta

2008-03-18 Thread Jerry Daniels

Tom,

I might suggest to you and others who are just getting acquainted with  
GLX2's features, to turn on the preference in GLX2's prefs for  
Instructional Tooltips. You'll find it in the Global Prefs section of  
the Prefs Palette. (Prefs Palette accessible via the Preferences menu  
item on the menubar when GLX2 is in front).


If this pref is on, when you put your pointer (mouse) over a GLX2 Tab,  
you'll see in the status bar (riding beneath the Rev Palette at top) a  
prominent tip telling you the presence of a right-clickable contextual  
menu for the tab.

Make sure you have the latest beta of GLX2 and then open it's

It isn't necessary to be scripting anything at the time, but you  
can

be if you want. In the "Go" menu, the last item will be "Open web
browser". Once a browser tab has opened, you can click any of the
links in the list on the left, which include all the help pages  
for
GLX2. You can also type in your own addresses to go to them  
directly.

Use the "Go" menu for bookmarks, history etc.

Hmmm.  When I've noticed this problem, it's been right after loading a 
few stacks (that make up my app) which I guess could constitute 
"creating and deleting objects en masse."  I usually start to work on

"settle down" before I pass judgement.

I use Glx2 *all* day long and could not imagine life without it.  
With that in mind, problems are problems and solutions must be

in something the app you are developing is doing.  Glx2 does do some

Make sure you have the latest beta of GLX2 and then open it's  
window.
It isn't necessary to be scripting anything at the time, but you  
can

be if you want. In the "Go" menu, the last item will be "Open web
browser". Once a browser tab has opened, you can click any of the
links in the list on the left, which include all the help pages for
GLX2. You can also type in your own addresses to go to them  
directly.

Use the "Go" menu for bookmarks, history etc.

Re: GLX2 Web Browser Beta

2008-03-18 Thread Thomas McGrath III

Jerry,

Yes I updated and tested in GLX2 the first chance I had. It is very  
fast. Noticeably faster by far.


One comment about how I use GLX2: It seems I keep switching out of the  
script edit environment to get to the (rev)property inspector from the  
norm rev menu and then switch back. I need constant quick access to  
the rev stack, card, object inspector for my workflow. I am not  
familiar with the GLX2 preferred method to do this?


That said:

I love the way Web 2.0 sites are available in the script editor.

I love clickable handlers, In fact that was the only way to track down  
the RR Bug 6019 by using the clickable handler name to find where  
revSave in revLibrary were misbehaving. Since no one else seemed to  
have my particular bug Mark was giving me ideas of things to check in  
the revLibrary and we found a workaround/fix for 6019 which I am very  
pleased with. My computer froze at least thirty times during the time  
it took to find that bug.


I love tabs for quick checks and code changes.

I love auto archives. (saved me during the 6019 freezes)

I now love the hover over an item to see what it's name was during  
writing a script.


Thanks again,

Tom McGrath

Re: Beware! GTX2 can cause problems

2008-03-18 Thread Len Morgan

I will add one final comment to this thread:

Daniels & Mara's Betas are better (and less buggy) that a lot of 
commercial released and "stable" software!  Some might contend that 
using the term "beta" when referring to GLX2, while accurate, is doing a 
disservice to other "beta" software because it tends to raise 
expectations.  Perhaps "beta plus" would be better.  :-)

Re: Proportional table column spacing upon resizeStack - how to

2008-03-18 Thread Eric Chatonet

Hi Mark,

Here is another approach using a function that respects the first  
column and distributes x other columns according to the width of the  
field:


on resizestack pNewWidth,pNewHeight,pOldWIdth,pOldHeight
 local tRect,tNumOfColumns
 -
  put the rect of fld "Table" into tRect
  put pNewWidth - 4 into item 3 of tRect
  set the rect of fld "Table" to tRect
  -
  put  into tNumOfColumns -- columns total wanted
  set the tabStops of fld "Table" to NewTabStops(the tabStops of fld  
"Table", tNumOfColumns,the width of fld "Table") --

end resizestack
-
function NewTabStops pTabStops, pNumOfColumns,pFldWidth
  return item 1 of pTabStops & comma & item 1 of pTabStops + round 
((pFldWidth - item 1 of pTabStops) / (pNumOfColumns - 1))

end NewTabStops

There are so many ways to achieve the goal with Rev :-)

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.

Hi Mark,

As the engine sends four params (see below) with the resizestack
message, it's quite easy to use them to achieve the goal:

on resizestack pNewWidth,pNewHeight,pOldWidth,pOldHeight
   local tRect,tTabStops,tTabStop,tNewTabStops
   -
   put the rect of fld "Table" into tRect
   put pNewWidth - 4 into item 3 of tRect
   -- -4: you'll use an appropriate value depending on your context
   set the rect of fld "Table" to tRect -- resizes the field
   --
   put the tabStops of fld "Table" into tTabStops
   repeat for each item tTabStop in tTabStops
 put round(tTabStop * (pNewWidth / pOldWidth)) & comma after
tNewTabStops
 -- a value in pixels (integers) according to the ratio between
pNewWidth and pOldWidth
   end repeat
   delete last char of tNewTabStops -- comma
   set the tabStops of fld "Table" to tNewTabStops
end resizestack

See tabStops in the docs :-)

Hi All,

I'm trying to apply this to my project, where I'm using a table
field object
to display data with several columns.

What I'd like to do:
Upon the user resizing the stack (the width in this case), I would
like to
resize the table columns proportionally. The table object is  
currently

resized in the stacks "on resizeStack" script.
So this would involve adjusting each item in the tabStops of the  
table

field, during the resizeStack script.

How do I do this?

in the fields when the config stack is displayed.  I tried an 
"openStack" message (in both the stack and in the card scripts), I 
tried an "openCard" script.  None of them are getting called.


I changed my "call" to go to card 1 of stack "IMS Configuration" and 
got the same result.


What handler to I need to put and where so that every time the stack 
is opened, it can get the most up-to-date info from the database 
(actually, made visible - it's always open, just hidden)?


I know this is Rev 101 kind of stuff but I'm a little stumped right now.

Re: Beware! GTX2 can cause problems

One quick suggestion if I might offer it if this appears to be an  
isolated problem with a beta version of GLX2, maybe we should retire

The reason I suggest this is that previous negative comments about

Thusfar, it hasn't caused any problems (I'm using 2.0.2 not a 2.1

revPrintText and the new printing facilities

2008-03-18 Thread Ben Rubinstein
I'm making my first attempt to use printing in Rev seriously since the new 
features were introduced (ie in 2.9).  I'm printing graphics on a multipage 
document; and I want to add headers and footers.  The easy way to do this 
looks to be revPrintText; but it places the header very low (and footer high) 
on the page, as well as printing a big white box in the middle for the body 
text that I didn't specify.


Is there control over the margins/positioning used by revPrintText?  Is there 
even any way to find out (programmatically rather than by experimentation) 
where it positions text?  Or should it be considered as part of the old way of 
doing things, not to be mixed with the new?


TIA,

- Ben

Re: Card Script Not Firing

2008-03-18 Thread Eric Chatonet

Hi Len,

If your stack is open yet, openStack or openCard have been already  
sent and a simple navigation or changing stack's visible property  
*does not* open the stack or the card.
Probably you could write an  in the script of your  
dialog and use:


send "UpdateFromDB" to stack "IMS Configuration"
go stack "IMS Configuration"

Le 18 mars 08 à 15:52, Len Morgan a écrit :

I feel so stupid today!  I have a stack that I use like a dialog  
that brings up several configuration fields in my app.  It is  
called from the menu button at the top of the app with:


go stack "IMS Configuration"

There is only one card on this stack.  I have just added a couple  
of fields that I need to query the database and get two numbers to  
put in the fields when the config stack is displayed.  I tried an  
"openStack" message (in both the stack and in the card scripts), I  
tried an "openCard" script.  None of them are getting called.


I changed my "call" to go to card 1 of stack "IMS Configuration"  
and got the same result.


What handler to I need to put and where so that every time the  
stack is opened, it can get the most up-to-date info from the  
database (actually, made visible - it's always open, just hidden)?


I know this is Rev 101 kind of stuff but I'm a little stumped right  
now.

Re: Beware! GTX2 can cause problems

2008-03-18 Thread Jerry Daniels
Ironically, we just got a customer today who is buying GLX2 because  
Revolution's built-in script editor lost his work.


This sort of thing happens, and there is always a reason for it, but  
it's often very difficult to find a recipe/cultprit. There are  
multiple variables in the process and there is a lot going on in the  
IDE.

So if you aren't seeing changes as you move between two versions

stack open in both versions at the same time and aren't reloading  
the stack into memory. If a stack file has been loaded in memory  
and you change the stack file on disk the changes on disk will not

Re: Card Script Not Firing

2008-03-18 Thread Mark Schonewille

Hi Len,

If you stack is hidden, it is open already, so openCard and openStack  
won't work. You might use the resumeStack message:


on resumeStack
  doMyOpenCardScript
end resumeStack

on openCard
  doMyOpenCardScript
end openCard

on doMyOpenCardScript
  -- the script you would otherwise have in
  -- the openCard handler
end doMyOpenCardScript

Best,

Mark

Re: Beware! GTX2 can cause problems

2008-03-18 Thread Len Morgan
Believe me Jerry, I have (for the most part) gotten over my prior 
tendency toward immediate condemnation of GLX (and Galaxy before that, 
and Constellation before that) whenever anything goes flaky with Rev.  I 
was merely saying that in a similar situation to Dave's it happened on 
or around the time I uninstalled the beta, went back to the stable 
version, then back to the beta again.


When I watch the Windows Task Manager, it is Revolution that is taking 
60-100% of the CPU time so I'm not sure where else to look.  Perhaps 
there has been some sort of Windows update that doesn't show up in the 
TaskManager.  GLX is still usable,

just slow at times.

Re: Beware! GTX2 can cause problems

2008-03-18 Thread Len Morgan
I've started having the same problem: Massive slow down of the whole 
system when I've got GLX2 running.  This was after deleting the 
preferences file.  To try and solve another problem, I was advised to go 
back to the stable version.  After the problem had been resolved, I went 
back to the latest beta and that's when the slow down started.  
Sometimes it gets to the point of being almost unusable.

Hi,

It doesn't appear to be doing that on my system, also it started 
running so slowly so as it be unusable, so I uninstalled it. Spent a 
weird hour trying to figure out where my changes had got to last night!


All the Best

Ran into this and it caused me no end of grief, I'm using two 
versions of RunRev, 2.8.1.472 and the 2.9 Beta. I also use GTX2 and 
this is where the confusion came in. If you edit a script in one 
version of RunRev/GTX2, then open the Script in the version of 
RunRev/GTX2, the changes don't appear! I think that GTX2 must be 
caching the Script Source code somewhere that is Private to the 
Version of RunRev you are currently using?


In addition to Sarah and Jerry's comments I would also add that GLX2 
stores the script you are working on (hasn't been compiled yet) in 
the object itself. So the script you are working on follows that 
object around. So opening the script of the object in another version 
of Rev running GLX2 should still show the script in progress (done 
this plenty of times myself).


Opening the script in the Rev script editor will NOT show the working 
script, however, since Rev doesn't know about GLX2 custom properties.


So if you aren't seeing changes as you move between two versions of 
Rev that are both using GLX2 then my guess is that you have the stack 
open in both versions at the same time and aren't reloading the stack 
into memory. If a stack file has been loaded in memory and you change 
the stack file on disk the changes on disk will not show up in the 
stack in memory until it is reloaded. Is it possible that this is 
what is happening on your end?

Re: Palette Problem

2008-03-18 Thread Mark Schonewille

Richmond,

Do you have these handlers in the palette stack itself? Although that  
should be possible, it is causes an ugly flash on the screen. The use  
of the palette command is correct, though. So, if you have a button to  
open the stack, you would write:


on mouseUp
  palette stack "XXX"
end mouseUp

If you are using Media, it might not work. If it doesn't, use

 go stack "XXX" as palette

instead.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

The other day my Macintosh G4 would not boot-up.

Jolly lucky I had another Macintosh so I could read
the documentation!

This . . . why . . . I . . . love . . . my . . .
slide-rule . . . and . . . printed . . . manuals :)

And, oddly enough, although I have all the printed
manuals for my BBC Master Micro it has never yet
either crashed or refused to start up: 20 years and
counting! Mind you that might be because its OS is
stored on a chip, it has no hard-disk and 96 KB RAM.

It is also why I believe that as computers (unless you
buy manky, old Pentium 3s - like I do) cost a lot it
would be nice if they came with printed manuals.

love, Richmond
