Thanks Jan but, the line order has to
remain as is, or else my users

Hi Nicolas,

Why not sort the hilitedLines first?
##
put the hilitedLines of me into tHilitedLines
sort items of tHilitedLines numeric descending
repeat for each item tLineNumber in tHilitedLines
  delete line tLineNumber of me
end repeat
##

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.

Transparency of Background in Fields

2008-06-23 Thread Sivakatirswami

Is there a feature request in already to the blend property of just the 
background of fields?  i.e we want the type to remain 100 opaque will 
setting some transparency to the background.  Of course this can be 
accomplished with a background field underneath and the field on top 
being completely transparent, but this is such a "kludge" and an 
unexpected gap in functionality for newbies coming from a more 
sophisticated page layout and graphics world, not to speak of the added 
layer of scripting need if one gets into geometry changes on resize.

deleting lines from a list-field

2008-06-23 Thread Nicolas Cueto

I'm hoping there's an elegant
way of doing the following,
cause my "solution" is pretty
messy.

I have a locked field set to
list-behavior, multiline, and
non-contiguous. Now, say
that in that field there are
10 lines, of which the user
has selected lines 1, 3-to-6
and 8 for deletion.

My first solution so far is to
put a mouseDouble up
handler in the field and then
use the field's hilitedline
property, something like this:

on mouseDoubleUp
  put the hilitedline of me into tLinesToDelete
repeat for each item tLineNr in tLinesToDelete
delete line tLineNr of me
end repeat
end mouseDoubleUp

But, of course, the problem with
this is that after the first deletion
the line numbers in hilitedLine
no longer correspond to the
actual line numbers in the field.

Like I say, I've kludged up one
possibile way of doing this, but
there's got to be a better way,
isn't there?

Thanks.

I have resolved the problem.
I forgot to include a secondary

non-existing stack would
obviously fail.

Weird.  Well, that eventually worked.  I couldn't actually delete or clear

I can usually delete most anything using the App Browser, but the window 
doesn't always update right. Sometimes I have to close it and re-open 
it, or view a different stack in it, to force it to refresh. I don't 
know if that's was the problem in this case though.


But if you know the group is there, you can always just remove it using 
the message box:


  delete bg "nonplacedBg"

The group doesn't have to be placed or visible for that to work. You 
won't get any warnings though, it will just disappear and isn't 
undo-able. Also, when no group is placed on a card, you have to refer to 
it as a "background" or the engine won't find it.

I don't have any trouble editing your example script, even in the latest

You should probably report the script editor bug at the QCC though.

How to select a cell instead of a line in a table

2008-06-23 Thread Kresten Bjerg

Thanks to JB & Jacqueline for support on this.
Jacqueline: I tried your solutions in several ways, but no way to get the 
formatted text of the cell, 
even with the html solution, - only a description of it as chunk. 
The fact of different fonts may be an explanation.
Reconsidering the matter I found a way, because the glyph-font of first 
character in each cell
 is the same in a table, so JBs Dynamic table handler is now used to extract 
the plain characters, 
and the glyphfont specific for a given table is added as a global, - for the 
relevant handler in the stackscript. 
Grateful for the help

You can have groups that exist but are not placed on any card. If so, 
then they will appear in the Place menu even though they aren't visible 
anywhere. Try placing one of the groups in the menu and see what you 
get. Once it is actually on a card, you can delete it from the entire stack.

Your "kludge"-solution is surely one of the best you can come up

  put the mousetext into gtext
  send "mouseup" to btn "wordoffset"
end mouseUp

Script of btn "wordoffset":

Re: GUID generator

> Where was that discovered, and what other goodies can be found there?

I discovered it accidentally - after you build a standalone, if you have the
message box open and choose "Revolution UI Elements In Lists" from the View
menu, and then look at the stacks in use (the last btn on the right), you
see an entry for "revSBLibrary". Edit its script and look at the function
"revSBGenerateUUID"...

Setting Geometry Manager Properties For A Stack

2008-06-23 Thread Mikey

I'm trying to limit a stack from being resized smaller beyond a particular
point.  I've got all the objects on the stack resizing or moving the way I'd
like them to, but I'd like to keep the user from making the stack too small
to the point where the controls on the right and toward the bottom are gone
because there isn't room to display them.  I've tried applying limits to the
objects on the stack, but that doesn't seem to do it, rather that seems to
just maintain the geometry and position of the objects relative to the stack
window size.

Hi Eric et al,

While I can see the advantages of Revolution
'collapsing' requests, I'm not sure this should be the
default behaviour - and definitely not if there are
parameters involved, as the sequence then becomes very
important.
Plus, what about timers that run every minute?

Re: Clearing Dead Groups

2008-06-23 Thread Mikey

I believe this is untrue.  I'm using 2.9.1.  This stack has three cards, and
nowhere on any of the three cards do any of the dead groups appear, yet they
appear in the Place menu.

Which version of Rev do you use?
With 2.9, a deleted group no longer appear in 'Place' sub menu.

Aloha, Richard:

After living in Los Angeles for so long, I consider it invaluable. :)

Anyway, I can now put a face to your name. The man who told me about 
metacard years ago and i never looked back...(smile) 


It's been a good journey, eh?

But if I'm not mistaken, didn't we first meet at a SuperCard conference 
in '96?  Or was that another gentleman from your ashram?


I have an interest in the above "send" issues... 

You say "...then the repeat loop will continue, and DoSomething (like 
all timer messages) will only be fired once the engine hits idle."


But, are they not piling up in the MessageQueue, to be executed, one 
after another, never the less? And if params are sent along with the 
cmd, are they also queued up?


That's my understanding:  all pending messages are queued until idle, 
which can raise concerns about the sort of race conditions the original 
poster mentioned.


One of the best ways I've found to reduce CPU usage is to turn down the 
frequency of any polling timers (timers that call themselves); for the 
user there's often not much difference between 1/100th of a second and 
1/20th, but it can take a huge load off the CPU to turn it down.


Also, in polling timers I've found it very helpful to first check to see 
if a message is already queued before queueing it again, e.g.:


 on DoPolling
   DoSomething
   if "DoPolling" is not in the pendingMessages then
 send "DoPolling" to me in 200 millisecs
   end if
 end DoPolling

Without that check, if the time between idle exceeds the time to your 
next pending message you can queue up redundant calls.

Re: more focus in field problems

If it means anything, the insertion cursor

Any guesses as to what's wrong?


You may have confused the engine. If the insertion point and focus  
border appear in and around "mainField" but no characters are entered  
when you type then the selectedField and the focusedObject are out of  
sync (they should always be the same if selectedField is not empty).


There used to be quite a few ways to confuse the engine in this regard  
but most of them were fixed in 2.9. It may be that you found another  
way of doing it. I have a plugin stack that logs the selectedField and  
focusedObject which makes it very easy to determine if this is the  
problem you are experiencing. Email me off-list if you would like to  
investigate further.

Re: [OT] desktop.dll and iPod

There should be a check box in iTunes to allow the iPod to be used for

then it will fix the missing dll???

Re: more focus in field problems

2008-06-23 Thread Eric Chatonet


Bonjour Nicolas,

Focus is superfluous if you use select: selecting text focuses  
automatically on the field that contains the text.


on openCard
  
  select after text of field "MainField"
end openCard
---
on rawKeyUp pKey
  put pKey
  pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp

Works for me as expected.

Le 23 juin 08 à 10:00, Nicolas Cueto a écrit :


on openCard
go invisible stack "someSubstack" as palette
resetCardObjects
focus on field "mainField"
select after the last char of field "mainField"
end openCard



Along with that, in the script of field "mainField"
I have this:

on rawKeyUp tTheKey
   switch tTheKey
   ...
end rawKeyUp



My understanding is that, since the focus is
set to "mainField" -- and, in addition, because
of the "select" command (thank you to Scott
Morrow for that suggestion) -- then when
I hit a key on the keyboard "rawKeyUp"
handler in field "mainField" should be
receiving that keyUp message.

But, it's not.
