error in revdb_connect with special chars in path
Hello,
Win XP, Rev 2.9. I just detected that revdb_connect has problems with
special chars in the db path. When having a special sign - in my case german
umlaut - the revdb_connect fails. A path with standard chars works perfect.
I coded:
put revdb_connect("sqlite",gPfadDB & "lexikon.db") into gConID
where the path in gPfadDB has a german umlaut. I also tested the standalone
with the same effect. Is it really that I have to tell my customers they
can't use german chars in their installation path or is there any
workaround?
Thanks for any tipp

Hi Tiemo,
I don't know whether this will work, but you might try
unidecode(uniencode(gPfadDB),"UTF8") and keep your fingers crossed.

Noop, good idea, but didn't worked :(
I think this issue must have come up a hundred times with all german,
french, and other special sign rev programmers if this is not a current
bug!?

scanners and Rev
is there any way to communicate with scanners in Revolution ? I would need my app to be able to invoke a default scanner dialog window and then put the scanned image into an image object.

Hi Ian, I looked up the quality center before, but didn't find your report (it's always hard to get the right search items :) Thanks for the hint. I want to switch from sqlite to valentina. Do you know if this is an issue only of sqlite? I even don't know yet if you will use revDB_ with valentina, or if valentina has it's own db functions?

Re: AW: error in revdb_connect with special chars in path
possible workaround would be using relative path instead of absolute and
then
put "lexikon.db" into dbPath
put revOpenDatabase("sqlite",dbPath) into dbId
When working in IDE first change your defaultFolder to be applications
folder. Or alternatively you might set your default folder to whatever
is in your gPfadDB

Re: Foreign Keyboards
Hi Ron, I am able to use Arabic input methods, but it takes a little hack to make the text go from right to left. I would expect it to be possible to enter Japanese characters in Revolution. What happens if you click in a field first and then use the mouse to choose a Japanese input method? Have you installed font support for Asian languages? Are you able to use Japanese in a word processor? -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz http://facebook.economy-x-talk.com Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Help menu issues (Mac)
Folks, I'm just beginning serious RR work after a long gap, and I've started by looking at stuff I did earlier. I'm now using RR 2.9.0 for most of my work. I've returned to an app I created as a standalone I think with RR2.8.1 (it was a long time ago) and I'm running it on a Mac with Leopard 10.5.4. Everything works as expected, except that when I pick the Help menu on the main menu bar, the name 'Help' hilites when clicked, as expected, but then it stays hilited even after the menu action is completed: completion consisting of closing a window with instructions which had opened when the menu item was chosen. The hilitie only vanishes when I click on another menu. None of the other menus suffers from this problem. Can anyone explain this? Also by Mac convention (presumably), the Help menu now contains a search field as well as the 'Help' item which I programmed. Can I do anything to suppress this? I think it will just confuse my users (schoolchildren) as the search can lead into general Mac help files which would seem irrelevant to them.

Re: Foreign Keyboards
Ron, When you set a Japanese Unicode font on a text field. You can type Japanese and English text correctly. Even if you use a Japanese layout keyboard. When you use a default text field that is set an English font, you can type Japanese characters, but wrong symbols. I do not have a Japanese keyboard of Windows, then I have not tested it on 2.9 and 3.0. I will ask about it to Japanese Revolution Forums later. -- Kenji Kojima http://www.kenjikojima.com/ On Aug 19, 2008, at 10:19 AM, ron barber wrote: Hi Mark,Thanks for the reply.

Re: scanners and Rev
Hello we have made an App in revolution interacting with scanservers of Axis. But because these scanservers are expiring it is not the right point to start with. But there are similar techniques on the market. Then you just get the scan by http. Another application uses scanners which scan directly in a dir on the pc which is permanently checked by a runrev application which works with the scanned images (jpg and pdf).

revBrowser on Windows
Hello my friends, I am back from vacation/holiday and am trying to figure out my revBrowser problems again. So far, I seem to have fixed the MaxOSX issues for revBrowser and am fixing my path problems. And on windows I have the path fixed but still have a naming issue i.e. a .png is being shown in my field but on OSx it does not so I have to fix this. As far as revBrowser on windows is concerned, it loads the external, I check on a built standalone for the instances and there is one. Also I do not get an error on loading the browser external. BUT, It seems however that the browser window while it does load, can not be actually seen on the screen and if I mouse over the area where it is supposed to load I get feedback (for instance the tooltip on a google link) but the window is blank visually. I think this might be due to the fact that I use a window shape for the stack. Is there a workaround for this? Any ideas on a fix? Another issue I have is when I start a player with a video it starts playing in the lower left of the stack instead of the area where the player is located. If I stop the player and start again it will now play where it is supposed to. this is an incovienence but not a show stopper. Any ideas are welcome.

Re: revBrowser on Windows
Hello Tom I have faced and solved both your problems. These are the workarounds I found... - To see the revBrowser in Win stand-alones that use custom shaped windows, you need to re-create the window shape PNG and take out all semi-transparencies. What I mean is that all pixels need to be either full color or fully transparent, nothing in the middle. - To play a movie right in the center the first time it is played I use the following code... prepare videoclip "Intro.mov" wait for 10 milliseconds play videoclip "Intro.mov" Regards, Andres Martinez www.baKno.com On Aug 19, 2008, at 12:22 PM, Thomas McGrath III wrote: Hello my friends, I am back from vacation/holiday and am trying to figure out my revBrowser problems again.

A Simple Question: How do I draw a vertical line?
This would seem to be an easy thing to do with a GUI IDE but I can't seem to get it right. I want to draw some vertical lines on a form that are thicker than one pixel (this is where I'm having problems). I can't do it (accurately) with the mouse so I'm drawing a pretty close approximation of vertical and then I want to use the property inspector to "correct" the line and make it vertical. The problem is if I move the bottom of the line, the top moves. If I move the top, the bottom moves. It seems to be trying to create a line inside the corners of a rectangle and therefore, I can never get a truly vertical line. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong here? For what it's worth, I'm trying to put on lines that are somewhere around 6 to 8 pixels "thick." Thanks!

Re: A Simple Question: How do I draw a vertical line?
Len, hold the shift key down when drawing - it constrains the angle to 22.5 degerees.

Re: A Simple Question: How do I draw a vertical line?
Len, First off, if you hold down the shift key while drawing your line, you should be able to make it perfectly vertical. Second, after your line is drawn, simply adjust the lineSize property, which is under Border - > Size on the first pane of the property palette. You can also adjust the length using the height property. So I think the trick is to use lineSize rather than width to adjust the line thickness.

Re: Foreign Keyboards
What Kenji advises (set field to Japanese Unicode font) works on my set up -- Japanese Win2K, Japanese keyboard, Rev 2.9. By "work" I mean the inputting not only of Japanese characters but also of non-alpha-numeric characters, especially shift-key chars for punctuation, quote marks, brackets, etc. -- Nicolas Cueto On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 11:38 PM, Kenji Kojima <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ron, > > When you set a Japanese Unicode font on a text field.

No, I don't think so - there are several command-line apps you can buy that will do this though (although that may not help).
