AW: AW: AW: How to keep dir structure when building standalone?
Hi Devin, thank you for your offer! The issue with the path to my resources I could solve (I was just puzzled with the following issue). But the initial question keeps open for me: In the standalone settings of my stack I put the resources/file.db in the copy files section. After building the standalone (on a Win XP) the file.db is copied into the standalone, BUT: 1. with 0 kb (empty file) 2. in the root directory of my app and not in resources/file.db I have to delete this corrupted file at the wrong place and copy manually the file.db (512kb) in a manually created folder /resources/ in the standalone package and now everything runs fine. Is my approach to package resource files wrong, am I missing some options or is this a bug? Thank you Tiemo Tiemo, Tell me where you want it to be on your Mac OS X version, and I'll tell you how to set it up to work right.

Re: How to change the size of a stack or card by a script
Hi Mikey! set the width of this stack to newWidth set the height of this stack to newHeight you can also modify the rect of the stack. The rect is a four-item property in the order top,left,bottom,right In this way it works Thanks Reinhold ___ 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
Windows Remote Desktop Support (in 2.9. really fine) + Question: Citrix
Hello, I am glad about the improvement of runrev 2.9 for Windows Remote Desktop Support. In previous versions the GUI (runrev IDE and standalone) had some errors (black areas) when used by remote access which is perfectly solvecd now in 2.9. When a runrev prog works in Germany, Czechia or Mexico and you sit somewhere between it is really important to log into the remote windows PC and can work with the runrev program (testing etc.). This even works in Windows Terminal Server (tested) which is very important for some companies. I did not test it, but because the Windows Terminal Server technique is somehow connected with Citrix I think that runrev would work in Citrix environments also (not tested). Question: Did anyone test a runrev 2.9 prog in a Citrix environment?

system date format problem
Since I updated to Rev Studio 2.9 (mac) I had to alter a lot of scripts involving date formats to get them working. In Denmark we use the date format (dd/mm/) and until recently I had no problems with converting dates. Now it seems that when I try to convert to e.g. the abbrev system date, the function misses a space. It should be like tor 03. jul 2008 but it returns tor03. jul 2008 I've checked my system prefs several times, that I didn't forget the space in the system prefs, but it seems that it is Revolution that skips the space from the date. It is also when I convert to long system date, that this occurs. Anybody having the same problems? best regards Johan ___ 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
Re: Windows Remote Desktop Support (in 2.9. really fine) + Question: Citrix
Question: Did anyone test a runrev 2.9 prog in a Citrix environment? Franz, I have a client/server system (a university student records system) where the database server is in Saigon and usually around 10 to 15 users at the Hanoi campus. Most of these users make use of Citrix, where the Rev client app runs on a Citrix server in Saigon. Others run the client as a desktop app with the db connection to Saigon via a vpn. In fact Rev 2.8.1 also worked OK with Citrix, except for blending. Also using Windows Terminal Services now to manage a Rev app running in our server room. Very happy to have that bug fixed in 2.9.

Enhancement 6375
Here's another reason to vote for the ability to reference image data contained in custom properties: custom cursors. I'm building a scaling image control for a client which uses a grabber hand cursor for dragging the scaled image. And I now have to figure out where to hide the custom cursor in the control so the control is portable. I shouldn't have to do this; I should be able to place the image data of the cursor image into a custom property of the control so I can avoid having extra image objects to manage.

Problem with field references
This is a little weird. I have two stacks. we'll call them mainstack and substack. In substack I want to build a fieldname from user input and check to see if it exists on mainstack. The result of this is a variable fieldname that contains Dept 14 of card Dept Personnel of stack mainstack if I execute if there is a field fieldname then However, RR doesn't recognize the existence of field fieldname. Next try, put field on the front, so we have field Dept 14 of card Dept Personnel of stack mainstack and execute if there is a fieldname which returns true. Great! Uh, maybe not. Now I have to extract the contents of this field obviously put field fieldname into somevariable doesn't work. since fieldname evaluates to field..., resulting in put field field... So instead I tried deleting the first word of fieldname, but RR can't find the field again.
