Re: Email Client (Outlook Express) won't start after console
While coding in the IDE (Windows XP Pro) and using 2.5* and then running the
program within the IDE to check functionality of the error reporting of the
finished program an error was encountered. The email client facilitated
reporting mechanism came up and stupidly without either cancelling or sending
the reported error I quit the program by quitting the IDE. Since doing that
Outlook Express 5 will not start up as an email program and acts as if it is
hung up.
Some years back this same thing happened to me and it turned out that Outlook
was stuck' in the waiting to report the error mode. If I remember correctly
that was fixed by a registry tweak. Unfortunately I can't find my notes on
that little issue if I made any. I do remember that it was someone from the
Rev list (old list) who came up with this explanation and fix for me. I have
searched the list as far back as I could, the web and mickeysoft without
success.
It's possible that the Outlook Express *process* is stuck open so you may
need to kill the process to get it to terminate even though it thinks it's
supposed to be reporting an error.
If this is the case, you can look for the msimn.exe process; there
actually may be more than one instance of it and you can terminate them all.
Here are the VBScripts for checking for the instance(s) and for killing them
if they exist; since you're running 2.5, you'll have to write these
VBScripts out to a .vbs file and execute them - see the stsDoScript
handler at the bottom for my implementation of doing just that.
Watch line wraps!

AW: How does RunRev finds externals when building the standalone? -- SOLVED!
Hi Ruslan, finally we got it! After I didn't got the database drivers folder created, I didn't tried to build the deployment anymore. You were right, it worked already only with the v4rev.bundle.

ANN: Library for Mac OSX Textured Buttons on metal windows
Hello all, I've been a bit busy of late. :o) First thing today is that I've knocked together a little library for easily creating Mac OS X style textured buttons, which are useful for getting the right look on metal windows (http://theworcestersource.com/downloads/MacOSXtexturedbutton/tabid/56/Default.aspx). I've also been working on a web site for Rev developers (http://www.theworcestersource.com). It's early work at the mo, but as I intend it to be a Rev community site, I've built it using a content management system and I'm inviting other people to help me build and run it. I've got ideas for what I want to put in there after chatting to the developers at work, but will be happy for suggestions. Let's see where this goes... :o) Thanks, Steve P.S.

Re: iPhone again
Cheers back dear Sarah, I couldn't agree with you more. Not knowing what direction Apple may take at any point in time would make developing without some sort of pre-approval; or, at least, approval of concept a most hazardous venture. On the other hand, I can see that many developers would find this sort of revelation even more dangerous; particularly if they feel what they are proposing to do is most revolutionary. (smile) After all, there are leaks everywhere and lead-time can be important in the developmental process.

Re: Table inspector from 4W
Josep, I'm not sure if Richard Gaskin is licensing that table component yet or not (www.fourthworld.com). He had qualms a couple of years ago about it not being ready, but that may have changed. You could also look at Chipp's AltFldHeader. I believe it is doing something similar. It is a deceptively simple approach to table fields, and is configured somewhat differently to Richard's. Hmm.. I just searched Chipp's website (www.altuit.com), and couldn't find it. Maybe he has withdrawn it. Hopefully, he'll see this and mention if it is still available.

Re: Great Article by Judy Perry on Rev in Ed in RevUp Newsletter
Thank you, Mark Jacque! Mark Schonewille has alerted me that, on Windows, the stack locks up the IDE (why I don't know); as this was a quick hack for the kiddies, and as we don't have any Windows boxes in the house, I never did try it under Windows. Also, the fields won't line up properly/display properly under Windows probably due to my using a Mac OS font. And, yes, I positively loathe that program which must not be named ;-) Judy http://revined.blogspot.com On Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 9:25 AM, J.

landscape printing on Windows

What am I missing? * using Rev 3.0 gm-3 * running XP Pro SP3 * I just updated my printer drivers * when run on Mac OS X, it works perfectly: landscape card image prints with landscape orientation on paper * when run on XP, a landscape card image prints with portrait orientation, with topLeft of landscape card image = topLeft of paper * it works the same with and without the image object present on the card * it works the same whether I use referenced or embedded image content The script: on mouseUp -- locate the cert stack answer file Pick the Certificate stack: if it = empty then exit to top put it into tCertStack -- go to cert stack push this cd go inv stack tCertStack -- cert stack is 792w x 612h -- prep for printing set the loc of img 1 to the loc of this cd put the topLeft of this cd into tTopLeft put the bottomRight of this cd into tBottomRight reset printing -- to prevent crash on XP when using 'open printing' approach set the printPaperOrientation to landscape put 792,612 into tPaperSize -- 11w x 8.5h put the printPaperRectangle into tPaperRect -- print open printing print this card from tTopLeft to tBottomRight into tPaperRect close printing -- restore focus to original stack close stack tCertStack pop cd end mouseUp Thanks - -- Phil Davis PDS Labs Professional Software Development http://pdslabs.net ___ 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
ANN: Seamless Tiles Generator 2 updated
Just uploaded a slightly updated version of the Seamless Tiles Generator 2 to http://www.sanke.org/Software/SeamlessTiles2.zip See the descriptions on page Sample Stacks on my website http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia. Among other things this stack features an improved resizable and draggable selection graphic that lets you choose a segment of any size from the imported source image to create a seamless tile. The ink of the selection graphic needed to be adapted both to the differences between Windows and MacOS and the stackfileversions 2.4 and 2.7. With engine versions 2.7 we need admin for MacOS and srcAnd for Windows. For engine versions 2.7 and higher srccopy is necessary for both platforms to show a transparent graphic. Moreover, I have changed the stack extension from *.mc to *.rev, to enable users of Rev 3.0 to see and load the stack. See the quote of my earlier post (to the Metacard- and Improve-lists) concerning this special problem: Strange change of file associations with Rev 3-gm-3 engine Wilhelm Sanke Sat, 20 Sep 2008 11:59:50 -0700 Rev engine 3-gm-2 displays both *.rev and *.mc-files in the open stack dialog as Revolution stacks. Engine 3-gm-3 restricts the displayed stacks to files with the *.rev extension; even when you choose All files the display of mc-files is suppressed, but other files like dlls and txt files are shown. It is even impossible to enforce the display of mc-files by typing *.mc into the file name box of the open stack dialog. Putting the Revolution.exe engine 3-gm-3 into the Metacard IDE shows the same restrictions: No mc-files are displayed. However, when you rename Revolution.exe to MC.exe, both Revolution stack-files rev and mc are displayed in the open stack dialog - like before in gm-2 with Revolution.exe. This holds for both IDEs, the Revolution and the Metacard IDE. The consequence for users that primarily work with the Rev IDE - but wish to access Metacard files once in a while - would be to rename their Rev engine to MC.exe. This works fine within the Rev IDE.

Re: Sticking an image to the cursor
Colin, It's generally not a good idea to use the on idle message. Like mouseStillDown, it doesn't do a decent job of sharing processor time with other running applications-- and tends to max processor usage. It's there mostly for backwards compatibility with HC. I sort of wish they would just deprecate both of them, or bring them up to standard. There are other good ways to do this using drag/drop. best, Chipp On Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 12:14 PM, Colin Holgate [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: on idle global dragging,dx,dy,dragwhat if dragging then set the loc of dragwhat to the mouseh - dx,the mousev - dy end if end idle ___ 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

Sue Smith wrote: I did, but it only works with mouseDown. I need it to work on the mouseEnter handler. I am developing (freeware) for children with disabilities - so many are unable to click the mouse button, let alone keep it held down. Hi Sue, the tricky part is to do it without a mouseDown and stuff. You somehow have to determine when the image is supposed to stop following the mouse. you could try this and see if it is what you want, the handler checks the mouse position and compares it to the previous position, if it finds that the position did not change for the last 50 times it gives up on following the mouse, assuming the user has finished placing the image. Adjust timing where noted. code, watch for linebreaks when you copy - local tCursorLoc, tXOffset, tYOffset, tMouseDidNotMoveCounter, tCardRect on mouseEnter put the mouseloc into tCursorLoc put the loc of me into tImageLoc put item 1 of tImageLoc - item 1 of tCursorLoc into tXOffset put item 2 of tImageLoc - item 2 of tCursorLoc into tYOffset put the rect of this card into tCardRect set the cursor to hand lock cursor put 0 into tMouseDidNotMoveCounter send isItStillMoving to me in 30 milliseconds -- adjust for smoothness of movement end mouseEnter on isItStillMoving if tMouseDidNotMoveCounter 50 then -- adjust here how long it takes to release image unlock cursor exit isItStillMoving end if put the mouseloc into tMouseIsHere if tMouseIsHere = tCursorLoc then add 1 to tMouseDidNotMoveCounter -- no movement so increase counter send isItStillMoving to me in 30 milliseconds -- adjust for smoothness of movement else put item 1 of tCursorLoc + tXOffset into item 1 of tNewLocOfImage put item 2 of tCursorLoc + tYOffset into item 2 of tNewLocOfImage -- to avoid dragging the image off the card if tNewLocOfImage is within tCardRect then set the loc of me to tNewLocOfImage put tMouseIsHere into tCursorLoc put 1 into tMouseDidNotMoveCounter -- reset the counter since mouse moved send isItStillMoving to me in 30 milliseconds -- adjust for smoothness of movement end if end isItStillMoving - end of code put this into the script of an image. May be someone has a better idea how to have the image follow the mouse without a mouseDown. cheers Bernd -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Sticking-an-image-to-the-cursor-tp19934277p19937290.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: iPhone again
Here's a good example of what I mean. http://almerica.blogspot.com/2008/09/podcaster-rejeceted-because-it.html This guy wrote a podcaster app, which can grab podcasts over the internet directly to the iPhone. This is something many users would like to be able to do. It's not as bandwidth intensive as watching YouTube clips, which iPhone already supports. Only AFTER he spent all the time designing, writing, testing and debugging his app, he sent it to Apple and was subsequently rejected because Apple said they already had that feature. But the problem is, that feature only exists in iTunes, NOT on the iPhone. So, reasonable people suspect Apple has that same feature in a new version of iTunes for iPhone not yet announced, and they don't want anyone else to hone in on their market. Very, very serious issues. There are a number of professional iPhone developers who have already quit developing for iPhone and are looking to Google's Android open source platform, which doesn't have such problems. ___ 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: iPhone again
As I read Gruber's article, his main point is that the policy is wrong, not that the pulled app was in contravention of the current agreement. However I do think a pre-approval mechanism would be beneficial. As I read his comments and those of Paul Kafasis (who is the CEO of Rogue Amoeba Software, maker of some very nice audio products for the Mac) I also see this - that the policy itself is monopolistic - but sadly - arbitrary. Determining if something competes with something from Apple - it is also a post approval risk. At some point after approval, Apple can come along at any time and pull the app because new functionality has been added that duplicates this ability. Having Apple copy your work (or coming up with something in parallel, whatever the case) is nothing new, and to Apple's credit, they've never really hidden from developers their willingness to do it. It's like that oversized mole on your loved one - you just accept it as a part of the beautiful package of the relationship. But since there is only a market for the app through the Apple Store, you can never know when the rug may be pulled out from under you. Years ago, I worked very closely with console game makers, in the time when you had to source your cartridges from the console maker. This did create a pre-approval situation that carried a lot of risk (and some companies, like Nintendo, also applied quality standards too, at first), but after a while, you would get your catridges so long as you didn't break any of the well documented rules. You had the same monopolistic situation but, you didn't have to worry about the rug being pulled out from under you. It seems to me that to approach iPhone development confidently you need to either: 1. Develop something that isnt your core revenue generator and accept the risk, or 2. Have a relationship with Apple that gives you the confidence you need to move forward Best regards, Lynn Fredricks President Paradigma Software http://www.paradigmasoft.com Valentina SQL Server: The Ultra-fast, Royalty Free Database Server ___ 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
