AW: experience with VBScript on Vista needed
Hi Ken and Jim, thanks for your advices, very helpful. Tiemo -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:use-revolution- boun...@lists.runrev.com] Im Auftrag von Ken Ray Gesendet: Dienstag, 2. Juni 2009 23:52 An: Use Revolution List Betreff: Re: experience with VBScript on Vista needed Hey, Tiemo... My questions are not going to my code, but to some principles with calling the shell wscript.exe Are you using Rev 2.9 or later? If so, you don't need to call the shell() command for VBScript; you can do script as VBScript. 1. I tried to catch any error from the get shell() command with the result, the syserror, try -catch, but got never any error back from the shell, even if I have a wrong syntax in the VB, where the VB fails, the rev doesn't gets noticed. Which is the correct way to catch an error from a VBScript on the shell? It should come back from the shell command. Here's an (old) example of activating an application and trapping the result: on VBS_AppActivate pTitle put format(set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(\WScript.Shell\)) into tVBS put tVBS cr WshShell.AppActivate quote pTitle quote into tVBS put C:\vbs_temp.vbs into tVBSPath put tVBS into url (file: tVBSPath) set the hideConsoleWindows to true get shell(cscript.exe //nologo tVBSPath) put it into tResult if there is a file tVBSPath then send delete file quote tVBSPath quote to me in 1 second end if if tResult then return Error: tResult end VBS_AppActivate Here's how it would be done in Rev 2.9+: on VBS_AppActivate pTitle put format(set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(\WScript.Shell\)) into tVBS put tVBS cr WshShell.AppActivate quote pTitle quote into tVBS put tVBS cr result = Err.number into tVBS do tVBS as VBScript put the result into tResult if there is a file tVBSPath then send delete file quote tVBSPath quote to me in 1 second end if if tResult then return Error: tResult end VBS_AppActivate 2. Do I have to return explicity any error from the script back to rev, or will they passed to rev anyway? If yes, how and where? See above... 4. Are there any experiences of windows installations without the scripting host? Perhaps the Home edition? If yes, how to check for that? Well, according to my informaton, some form of Windows Script Host has been included on all versions of Windows since Windows 98. You should check to make sure that the VBScript you're calling is supported in the various versions of Windows you need to support. 5. If every Vista version should have the windows scripting host, can it somehow be deactivated, so that my updater runs without result? If yes, how? Not AFAIK. 6. If the user clicks cancel while Vista is asking to allow this process, how can I get aware of this cancel in my rev app? Is there a chance to catch a cancel down from Vista level in my rev app? I don't know, but I'd assume that the request happens *before* the script is actually run, so you'd need to find a way to determine if your VBScript runs or not. One way to do this might be for your Rev app to create a file and have the VBScript change its contents or delete it. That way you could detect after the script has run if the original file was still there/unchanged. If so, the VBScript didn't run. 7. Are you aware of any other VBScript gotchas? Yes - Some anti-virus software will bring up an alert dialog to the user letting them know of a potential malicious activity if you try to manipulate the file system with VBScript (basically any use of the FileSystemObject), so that may make #6 above even more difficult.

Re: Popup menu bug?
Hello Jaqueline, So, from the button search mouseup I call on search and from menu pick call on markOption, isn't? Every control call custom handler that share some local variables. Maybe this is best that every control have her code, with this way is more easy of mantain the code, but is good for performance of the app? Salut, Josep local sMenuChoice -- this goes at the top of the script on markOption pMenuChoice -- option_button calls this put pMenuChoice into sMenuChoice -- store it in the script local -- set checkmark here if you want end markOption on search -- search button calls this put sMenuChoice into tSearchTerm -- etc end search -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Popup-menu-bug--tp23814764p23846318.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: OT: Rev to Flash translation
As others have said, ActionScript is quite different from Rev. But if your client is going the Flex route, it may be possible to translate the interface components. Flex uses XML for component layout, and in theory at least, it should be possible to map Rev components to the Flex equivalent. (It may even be possible to create placeholders for script elements.) Whether the result would be of practical use is another question. If your interface is simple, it's probably not worth the trouble. (And if it's complex, I guess the results may be less useable.) An interesting project, even if just to prove it's impractical. Has anyone tried this before? Cheers Dave On 2 Jun 2009, at 15:25, George C Brackett wrote: How close is ActionScript (Flash) scripting to Rev scripting? I'm doing prototyping in Rev for a client that uses only Flash and Flex to publish. My prototypes so far are pretty simple, with no fancy graphic stuff, a little manipulation on-screen and mainly buttons to check answers, reveal hints, or move on. Is there enough commonality between the two systems to hope for a relatively easy translation? Or would a total Flash re-write be the only reasonable option?

Re: Datagrid
Hi Trevor, thanks a lot for your very useful answers. 2. How do I set the number of columns by script? Set the columns property. It is listed on the properties page. I have overlooked this one at least 20 times, as I have looked in that section. I must have been looking for 'Number of' and overlooked the 'columns'. I am glad I found it and it works great.

On-Rev file Transfer
Hi from Paris, Developing my site is put into second priority. I need time to ingurgitate DreamWeaver And I am still light years away from adding /rev commands to my existing HTML files But, I also want to use the 100 GB platform to upload and download some .aiff music files which we develop in France, mix in the States, and then make available to a limited set of users. I tried using the upload/download mechanism in cPanel. I realize that it wasn't designed for VOLUME, so I ran a few tests After a few hours - It was extremely rapid on all files up to about 1 MB, then things go so slow that I pulled the plug. Pretty normal, if you consider that it is usually for Web pages ... ! There also seems to be a brake after a certain data volume. Transferring a 100 KB file after several 1 MB files took forever. I am ready to accept any input from On-Rev experts, but don't worry, I have no qualms - It's OK for me. However, FileZilla FTP's to accounts defined in cPanel zip through in no time - perfectly acceptable for big (50 MB aiff files). So I am happy On-Rev looks good . From cPanel, menus easy to use - watch the videos if you are in doubt - no problems so far . so far !!

[On-Rev] traversing file path in on-rev
I want to be able to use common libraries for all subdomains in my domain. Right now all of my subdomains point to folders within my public html root directory. / includes/ mylib.irev mysubdomain/ index.irev index.irev I want to access mylib.irev from mysubdomain/index.irev. I would think I should be able to do include ../includes/mylib.irev But that doesn't work, and produces an error message saying FTP error: File /mysubdomain/../includes/mylib.irev not present on server. Cannot download. Shouldn't this work? Or is the bug in my brain? (Wouldn't be the first time.)

WorkGroup Manager
Greetings, This is a little obscure, but I have a client who is using Apple's WorkGroup Manager who is claiming that they (admin) set the permissions of my [Revolution] application to read/write. Then, when the user logs in they don't have permissions to run the application. They claim this is not an issue with any other application they have. Is there a issue with Rev apps and WorkGroup Manager? Is there a bug in WorkGroup Manager? I did a Google search and can't find anything on this issue. Anyone have any thoughts/advice? Thank you!

I don't know much about your user's setup, but in our labs we install Revolution-based applications with the owner account, which has admin status. Anyone that logs in, regardless of which user account they use, has access to those apps, and they run without problems. The unix permissions for the .app bundle and its contents are rwxr-xr-x. Maybe they should make sure that all users have at least read and execute permissions.

Tab in datagrid
Hi, I feel a bit bad for everybody getting bombarded questions regarding datagrid, But it is a very important feature and needs to be understood properly. So I¹m sorry for it BUT we got to get it to work. Question, How do I achieve a fld identification e.g. Line 3 fld 4 or a name or whatever via the tab key and then by leaving that particular fld triggering a closeField?
