Re: revFontLoad Crashes
Hi Bridger, All I know is that fonts have to be compatible with your operating system. Some truetype fonts may load on OSX 10.5 but not on 10.3 and others may load on OSX but not on Windows. Indeed, it is not clear which fonts work with RevFont, but I believe revFont is not limited to truetype fonts. I also had a case where a font worked fine in Mac OS X 10.3.9, if installed in the Fonts folder, but wouldn't be loaded by RevFont. I believe that Run Rev Ltd is still working on this problem. If RevFont doesn't work for you, don't keep trying. Just have the font installed in the regular way. On some operating systems, you can't load a font dynamically anyway, because you have to restart the programme to access the font, which causes a nice catch 22. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

I would like the ability to load fonts dynamically in my app from a given directory. However, I have run into a few problems, particularly on OS X. One font I tried to load using revFontLoad on OS X made the entire interface, including everything in the Revolution IDE, to turn a different language. I don't know what language it was, but it had a lot of curvy lines and dots, for what it is worth. Now any font I try to load on OS X just crashes my application immediately and without any errors. On Windows things seem to be working better, but I haven't done too much testing there yet. One thing I have noticed is that if a text field is set to use a particular font before the font is loaded, the font will not be loaded correctly for all sizes and the field will not show the font. For example, if I have a field with Lucida Grande 18 point text, when I load the Lucida Grande font, size 18 does not work. This is not mentioned in the docs. Also, is ttf the only font format that revFontLoad supports? If it is, I can't find any mention of that limitation in the docs.

Re-2: Exporting to rtf with fontinformation
Ken, thank you very much. That did it. Regards, Matthias Original Message Subject: Re: Exporting to rtf with fontinformation (09-Jul-2008 6:43) From:Ken Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] But after exporting it to rtf and reopen it in word or wordpad, the text is not shown correctly. The font is not correct. The problem is the way that text attributes are maintained in Rev vs. how they're exported. If the *field* has text attributes assigned, it looks like they don't export to RTF. But if the *text* has text attributes assigned and the *field* doesn't, you get the styling in the RTF. Try changing: set the textFont of fld RTF Text to ... set the textSize of fld RTF Text to ... to set the textFont of char 1 to -1 of fld RTF Text to... set the textSize of char 1 to -1 of fld RTF Text to...

Re: How do I stop a table field from scrolling right?
A fountain of knowledge are you. I was afraid of that. The problem is due to the field's 'margins' property, which default to '8'. When Rev goes to draw an editing field on top of the table field when you click in the 4th column, it checks to see if the right side of the editing field goes beyond the right edge of the table field, *minus* the margin setting. You could, of course, set the margins to be less than 8, but then that screws up the look of your table and the way Rev draws the editing field. Luckily, though, you can change the way the Rev IDE handles this (and by extension your standalone) by making some minor changes in the 'revTable' frontscript: 1) Make sure that Revolution UI Elements in Lists is checked under the View menu. 2) Open the Message Box and click the frontScripts button (the 6th button from the left, right after the mailbox icon). 3) In the list below, it should show: `button revTable`, double-click on it to open its script. 4) In the script it displays, locate the revCalculateCellRect handler. 5) Make the script change below (watch word wraps!): Locate the line that says: if trightrect (the cREVTable[rightfieldloc] of pObject - the cREVTable[scrollbarwidth] of pObject - tfudge) Change it to: if trightrect (the cREVTable[rightfieldloc] of pObject - the cREVTable[scrollbarwidth] of pObject) then 6) Save and close the script. 7) Switch to browse tool, and test. 8) Save the changes to the IDE by executing the following code in the Message Box: save stack revLibrary This should now allow you to make a standalone that includes the changes, IIRC.

Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia Design I discovered another way a while ago: function maxScroll fldName put the scroll of fld fldName into iScr lock screen select after text of fld fldName put the scroll of fld fldName into maxScr select empty set the scroll of fld fldName to iScr unlock screen return maxScr end mouseUp You'll have to adjust the field reference if the field is not on the current card.

Re: Creating Library Modules
I have a Rev 2.9 application that I'm building that creates a set of reports. I have the report working as a button in the main stack, but I now want to create a library module that will allow me to seperate the report code from the main stack so it can be pulled in with different report versions as needed. I created a new STACK called it StandardReports.rev I moved the code that I know was working to the StandardReports.rev stack script area. In the original stack I make the following call to see if the new stack is running. if StandardReports is not among the lines of the StacksInUse then start using stack StandardReports end if The function call to the new stack works, but in that stack there are a number of Commands that are defined in the Main Stack that are no longer found by the routines in the StandardReport stack. One example is when I do a DB call, I check for an error with handleRevDBerror command that is defined as: on handleRevDBerror pError switch case item 1 of pError is revdberr return Database Error: pError break end switch end handleRevDBerror Revolution errors when ever the StandardReport stack tries to call this command. What do I need to do to be able to access Commands and Functions that are in the Main Stack? ALSO, can the StandardReport.rev file be placed in any directory or does it need to be with the main stack? Is the StandardReport stack a sub-stack of the Main Stack or is it a separate file? If it is a sub-stack, then it automatically gets access to all the handlers in the Main Stack, but if it is a separate file, they are independent. You would then have to start using the Main Stack as well, if you wanted StandardReport to be able to use it's handlers. The StandardReport.rev file can be placed anywhere you like, but if you want MainStack to be able to refer to it automatically, then se the Main Stacks stackFiles property to include a reference to StandardReport.rev.

Re: Creating Library Modules
I created the Stack as a NEW stack and then started it. Do I need to make it a SubStack and then select FILE - MOVE SUBSTACK to FILE Er... wait... this is a separate stack entirely? Not a substack of your main stack? Have you already loaded it into memory? Neither the start using command nor the insert command are going to be able to find the stack otherwise unless you specify a physical location for it. Much better to make your library stack a substack. Then your start using command will probably do the trick for you. I cann't find anything in the documentation about creating a library. Do I need to declare within the stack that it is a library that is to be used with the main stack? Nope. You've done that all correctly. Any stack can be used as a library stack without any fiddling about. -- Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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
advise about go invisible stack URL
Hello, In a standalone I want to include an update feature that downloads a stack. This means I am now learning how to use the go stack URL command. My basic goal is to download a stack, do some changes to it, save it, and then close it -- all without the user seeing that downloaded stack throut any of those stages. After experimenting, this is what kind of worked for me: put http://web.com/helloWorld.rev; into tURL go invisible stack URL tURL put hello into field field of stack helloWorld save stack helloWorld close stack helloWorld I say kind of because the stack got downloaded, modified, saved and closed no problem, but, when I later reopened that downloaded stack in Rev it was not visible. To see it, I had to set use the message box to set the stack's visible property to true. There must be a way of doing all this without the invisibly-reopening problem, but I've yet to figure out a way how. Advise would be welcome. Thank you. -- Nicolas Cueto ___ 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: advise about go invisible stack URL
Nicolas, You could either add the set visible code to your open command if you are opening by script as in: open stack helloWorld set the visible of stack helloWorld Or if you 'have' to have it visible then you might want to open the stack off screen as a 'visible' stack instead of the go invisible stack then it will be still visible on opening! You still might have to have a script in the stack to open at screen center after saving so that when you reopen it then it won't still be off screen.

Switch statements within Switch statements
I have an option Menu that show various arrays of buttons depending on which menu item is selected. Is it possible to have switch statements for the buttons within switch statements for each menu item? I checked the Rev-User archives and could not find any examples of such an arrangement. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Switch-statements-within-Switch-statements-tp18374624p18374624.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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: Switch statements within Switch statements
You can certainly nest switch statements without problem - you'll end up with some very long handlers!

Is it possible to have switch statements for the buttons within switch statements for each menu item? If I understand your situation it is like this: If you select the 1st choice in your 'Master' option menu you show 'slave' option menus 1, 2 and 3. If you select the 2nd choice in your 'Master' option menu you show 'slave' option menu a,b, and c. if you select the 3rd choice in your 'Master' option menu you show 'slave' option menu 1,b,3,d ... For the scripts in your 'slave' option menus you want different actions based on not only what selection is made, but what selection was made with the 'Master' option menu. If I've got that correct, and assuming that your 'slave' buttons have many options so you want to keep the switch statement compact, then the script in your 'slave' buttons could look something like this: on menuPick pChosen switch pChosen case 1 Choice --avoid statements here to keep switch statement compact handler1Choice break case 2 Choice handler2Choice break ... ... case 987 Choice handler987Choice break --always good to include in the development phase to hi-light omissions. default answer A case I've not accounted for. titled Case Omission --check the variable watcher - pChosen breakpoint end switch end menuPick --the following will also be in the button script on handler1Choice switch the label of btn Master case Choice 1 --statements here --use a handler if too many statements break case Choice 2 --statements or handler break ... ... case Choice 99 --statements or handler break --always good to include in the development phase to hi-light omissions. default answer A case I've not accounted for. titled Case Omission --check the label of btn 'Master' breakpoint end switch end handler1Choice on handler2Choice --switch structure again end handler2Choice as many as required. Although nested switch statements are possible, and are easy enough to follow if you only have a small matrix of options to cover, once the options start to multiply it's very easy to created a very complex structure that is hard to follow and easy to miss options - which is why I like to use the default statement to catch omissions.

Re: Creating Library Modules
I have created the StandardRepor.rev as an independent stack and the Main stack starts the independent stack by doing the following: if StandardReports is not among the lines of the StacksInUse then start using stack StandardReports end if What I want to be able to do is be able to supply different sets of reports like a set of libraries. The main program selects either StandardReports OR CustomReports1 OR CustomReports2 and the main stack starts a specific library based on the configuration. Each of the Stacks would have the same report functions, but depending on what stack is started, the user can get different report formats for the same set of information. SO an independent stack library can be called by the main stack, but the code must be independent and does not have access to any of the functions or commands in the stack that started it. Can variables be passed between the functions and data returned by the function? How do I get the independent stack to start using the Main stack? The main stack is already in memory.
