Re: revOpenDatabase on Linux - works in IDE, broken in standalone - how do I fix?
Hi Ben In standalone settings you have to unselect the search for required inclusions ... option and so you have to select the select inclusions ... option.

Any idea for a workaround of a brush tool crash?
Hello, I am a little bit at a loss of this nasty crash scenario. I have a substack with an image, where the user can paint with the brush tool within this image of the substack. Everything works fine, so far, as you leave the window of the substack with pressed mousebutton (brush). Now Rev crashes, the IDE as well as a standalone. No fall back to an script error or something like that, just a plain crash (Rev has encountered some problems.). Btw. When leaving the image and substack with a not pressed mousebutton, I change the tool automatically to the browse tool and that works fine. I am looking for any workaround, to capture this situation, like changing the brush tool back to browse tool, when leaving the substack, but don't find any approach. Testing for mouseleave or mousewithin fails, because they are not triggered with a pressed mousebutton. Has anybody any idea for another approach, how I could trigger, if the mouse is leaving the image or stack with a pressed mousebutton, to switch the tool back to browse tool? - In the hope that this will be a workaround for the Rev crash?

cipherNames, Encrypt and Decrypt
Hi All, I have a need to encrypt some data before sending it to a server. I looked at the encrypt and decrypt documentation but don't understand how to make it work. There is a property called ciptherNames which is supposed to contain a list of ciphers. However, when I do the following: put the ciphersNames in the message box, I just get an empty string returned, Is there any further information on how to use these functions?

Re: the focusedObject
It's funny. I read all the emails in this list and must learn something but when it is a problem I'm working on and then you guys answer I really do learn something. I like the idea of trapping the close field (you got the idea -- I'm trying to run the next code call without the user having to reach for the mouse) and it will probably be faster as I've noticed that trapping for the return introduces a processing delay. Thanks for the suggestion. I think it will work better and I just have to make sure that a field is open first, as I was thinking a return could be trapped even when a field wasn't open but you're idea is so much better for the other reasons that you've pointed out.

It looks like you want to execute a handler when the field is closed, and you are trying to trap returnkey messages to figure that out. If that's the case, then I'd do this instead: 1. Set every relevant field to use the autotab property. This lets the engine figure out for you when the user has typed a return. The advantage here is that any number of returns in longer fields are allowed; only a return key that would cause the text to drop below the bottom of the field are disallowed. 2. Size each field to show exactly how many lines you'll allow. 3. Change your returnkey handler to a closefield handler. Every time the user types return (or tab) to leave the field, a closefield will trigger. If the longer field needs to be a scrolling field to allow more text, then you can put an empty closefield handler in that particular field's script to block the message so that the card (or stack) script closefield handler doesn't catch it.

When you set the unicodeText of a field the OS is supposed to find a suitable font to display the unicode. However, the automatic choice is not always the most desirable visually, and you may have to experiment to find a font you want, and set the textFont of the target field before setting the unicodeText of the field.

Re: unicode in ask and answer
Hi Sims, Normally, you shouldn't have to specify a font for unicode, as long as the default font contains the glyph you want to use. If the default font doesn't have this glyph, you need to specify the font explicitly. There are still a few bugs in Revolution that make this a little problematic and you always need to test to make sure that unicode works in Revolution. Regarding HTML, a default font with no font styles and colours should work without a hassle, but if you are using a special font and styled text, you will need to test. Font information is usually included with the htmlText. If you are creating an HTML file for a web site, you may need to add encoding information in the meta headers. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum We are always looking for new projects!

Re: Rev on Ubuntu
Well, I've been thinking about tinkering with Linux + Revolution for a while and recently ran into an old friend who's a big Linux fan. He recommended that I install Ubuntu (I'm using Parallels on an Intel iMac) and the K Desktop Environment. I haver successfully installed Ubuntu but thought I'd ask here about KDE. I want to try some Rev projects on Linux and wondered what folks here would recommend. I've been a Mac guys since the 80s and know absolutely nothing about Linux. Any recommendations for me? If you're talking about Rev projects that work in Linux, don't forget that StackRunner has a Linux version that will allow you to let other people try out stacks without you having to build separate standalones. (If you don't have the URL, a Google search should show it as the first hit.) As to *content* that runs in Linux, I'd assume you could DL anything from RevOnline, but perhaps there are others here that have some content tweaked for or targeting Linux that they could mention.

Rev on Ubuntu
All my stacks have been run successfully on Ubuntu 5.10 - 8.04. Mind you, most of them are 'bread-and-butter' stuff. Experience has taught me: 1. No movies. 2. No embedded sound files. 3. Never churn out generic Linux standalones from a version of Runtime Revolution working on another platform. 4. Always compile standalones on the target platform. 5. Don't believe that there is ONE Operating System called Linux: there isn't; it is almost as problematic as Karate schools. Personally I believe the use of the word LINUX does more harm than good; better to refer to DSL, MINT, FEDORA, RED HAT, UBUNTU by name (while noting that they are Linux variants if you wish). 'Linux' has somehow acquired all sorts of wierdo semantics. When the kids in my school use the computers they really don't know what they run on (except for the stickers saying UBUNTU) as it does not affect them directly. To install a lot of Linux variants is as easy or easier than installing Windows. Continuing to use the term LINUX merely serves to enforce stereotypes plugged by Apple and Microsoft lovers. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.

Re: Script Editing Frustration
Richard, The way GLX2 does no-click inspection (the code is accessible to all our customers in the inspection folder of the GLX2 frontscript) is called staggered messaging or peppering. It is polling with a very limited lifespan and does NOT degrade performance of the IDE. It's been in use for over a year. Very reliable On mousemove, 12 messages staggered every 250 millisecs are sent to check the mod keys for an inspection. glx2EditObject repeat for 12 add 250 to tNoMillisecs send glx2EditObject to me in tNoMillisecs millisecs end repeat If glx2EditObject is already in the pendingmessages, then the glx2EditObject handler ignores the message to check the mod keys for a no-click inspection. This means that during the three seconds after the mouse STOPS moving, you can hold down the mod keys to inspect. It sounds much more complicated than it is. The user, of course, is unaware of all this trickery and just holds down command and option to open any script editor. On Windows, the state of the mod keys can be checked without polling. HOWEVER...I check to see if the pointer is in the title bar of the window so that the user can inspect a stack's script with no-click inspection. Therefore, the peppering method is still needed, even in Windows. Hope this helps. Feel free to download GLX2 Installer (http:// glx2.com), install it, set the prefs for it in the GLX2 pane of Rev's prefs, and then take a look at the code. You (and everyone else, of course) do not need a reg code to use GLX2's no-click inspection and a bunch of other very handy shortcuts called The Freedom Pack.

Re: What is Revdb_commit() for anyway?
--- Bob Sneidar b...@twft.com wrote: Hi all. I have always been a bit confused at this. So far as I can tell, I cannot get data back INTO a cursor, I can only read data FROM the cursor. In order to write data back to the database, I have to execute an SQL query. So what is Revdb_commit() for? Commit what? I just wrote the data directly to the SQL database in a query didn't I? Or am I mistaken about the ability to write data back to a cursor? Bob Sneidar The revdb_commit function isn't meant for committing changes to cursors - revdb cursors are by default read-only; though I think if used with Valentina Server and the VXCMD you can have read-write cursors, but I digress. It is meant for committing transactions. Depending on the database, all the INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements are each seen as a separate transaction, or will be considered one giant transaction until you effectively call revdb_commit or revdb_rollback.

Two Questions About My Search Field
Hello everyone, I've created a search field that takes a phrase typed into it and searches a data field for lines containing the phrase. It works in the usual way where the search becomes narrower the more you type. What I haven't been able to do is go backwards, that is, make the search wider as characters are deleted from the end of the search string when the delete key is hit. When the delete key is hit, nothing happens, and I'm not sure how to work a delete key message into the handler. on keyDown pKey put me pKey into searchString get fld Data repeat for each line thisLine in it if searchString is among the words of thisLine then put thisLine return after hits--Whole words next repeat else if thisLine contains searchString then put thisLine return after otherHits end if end repeat put otherHits after hits if the last character of hits is return then delete the last character of hits put hits into fld Browse List put 1*the number of lines in hits records into fld Number of Records pass keyDown end keyDown My second question concerns the format of the field itself and the Geometry Manager. I jazzed up the field by importing three PNG images to make it look like Apple's hot dog shaped search field. The two rounded ends remain fixed in size and maintain their relative positions while the middle segment is scaled horizontally if the stack is resized. It all works wonderfully (I believe Eric Chatonet gave me this tip ages ago --- thanks, Eric) except that whenever the stack is reopened the middle segment is displayed in its original size regardless of the size of the stack at the time it was closed. This means the hot dog appears sliced until the user resizes the stack, at which time the pieces will snap back together. Any fix for this little glitch?

Re: revCopy file in OSX doesn't work
Hi Sieg, I have never understand why people use the revCopyFile command. Just use the read and write commands or use the cp or mv shell commands to copy a file. You could even write your own AppleScript snippet. Of course, any specific solutions will need their Windows and Linux counter parts for cross-platform compatibility. You might want to set the modification date and other file info after copying the file. This might get you started on Mac OS X: http://runrev.info/Set%20modification%20date.htm . A nice advantage of using read/write commands is that you can copy small chunks in a repeat loop and meanwhile show a progress bar. If you still want to use the revCopyFile command, try using an absolute instead of a relative file path. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum We are always looking for new projects!

Standard Save Dialog
The standard save dialog box used by Macs looks a little different than an Answer dialog built into Rev. The standard save dialog has 3 buttons left to right Don't Save Cancel and Save with extra space between the Don't Save and Cancel buttons. Rev uses this dialog box for its own use but I don't see it as something I can use for my apps unless I make a special save stack. I can make something close with the three buttons but they are evenly spaced apart. Is there a standard save dialog in Rev that I can use?

Re: Rev on Ubuntu
Rev runs on everything I've tried it on, including such oddities as Scitaz or DSL. The apps run as well. However, the relation between the fonts and the objects on the windows may not be the same, and what fonts are present may also be different, and certainly will be different from Mac or Windows to any Linux. So when you move your app from one distro to another, it may not display properly. This was an issue when moving an app from Debian to Mandriva, which are about as mainstream as you can get and which had all the same fonts. Also, when I once compiled on Linux for Win98, the control elements of the window vanished, so there was no way of closing the window, there needed to be a check for platform to use different window sizing to get around this. So yes, Richmond is probably right, always compile on the target platform, or at least, if its going to matter, validate look and feel on all platforms, and for Linux, on more than one distribution and on more than just Gnome. It also may be a good idea in Linux to leave more space around text on objects than you think you could possibly need, if you're not sure what the distribution will be.
