Many of them aren't; I'm still waiting for a leak on all the options for the _internal command. But there's a lot of good stuff in the Engine Change Log, down in the section toward the bottom labeled "Currently Unsupported Feature". Here's one related to the Message Box that's kinda cool if you need it: -- the revMessageBoxRedirect ~ This global property allows you to configure what happens when the value of the 'msg' pseudo-variable changes. When set to empty, the old behaviour will be used. When set to the long id of a field, the old behaviour is replicated but instead of 'msg' being put into field 1 of card 1 of stack "Message Box", it is put into the target field. (Note that this form will also cause the field's stack to be modeless'ed and raised). When set to the long id of a non-field object, the specified object will receive a 'msgChanged' message meaning that you have complete control over what to do with the updated value of 'msg'. NB. This property is only available in the IDE engine. -- -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Rev training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com revJournal blog: http://revjournal.com/blog.irv ___ 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

You want all the undocumented stuff *documented*? Bwahaha... Anyway, it's in the preOpenStack handler of stack "MessageBox". There's lots of stuff in custom properties of the revPreferences stack that probably should be somewhere else, but that's where the IDE puts it, so we're stuck with it. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.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
Re: Re: 4d - Write
Malte, 1) If you have a 4d issue, it might be easier to just have someone who knows what they are doing fix it, provided that the application isn't compiled and thus the source isn't available. 2) I still would like to know what version of 4D we are looking at so I can figure out which version of 4D Write we are going to want to try to use.

Re: Interesting blog post - comments anyone?
Heather, I hope the following is tame enough for you, although I suspect it may not be. :-))) Marian I'm a full-time physician educator with a medical school faculty appointment and no formal training in programming. I've been using Revolution since it first came out and have been able to write several fairly complex interactive applications that are published by the leading press in my field using Revolution. Frankly, without Revolution I would not have had the time to even THINK of undertaking such an endeavor. To my mind, what Revolution offers to people like me is the ability to create a customized application that would take me forever to explain to a professional programmer who knows nothing about Transfusion Medicine and would likely cost a fortune to implement. All it took was some time learning basic syntax and the ability to set down the logic I created in a series of IF-THEN or CASE algorithms--not exactly rocket science. So, before you belittle Revolution for the statements you quoted, namely: >>“Empowers people who would never have attempted programming to create >>successful applications,” and that this, ”Enables software construction >>for everyone.” please consider that even non-professional programmers are capable of logical thinking and that some of us just need to get the job done in way that works properly and preferable that doesn't interfere with our day jobs. I could not have written the two apps I have published thusfar were it not for Revolution, so Revolution DID empower me to take on an unfamiliar task and construct software that "just works." I'm sure my code is not nearly as elegant as that I've seen other folks do with Revolution, but it did the trick for me and for that I am forever grateful.

Re: Help key
Thanks Mark, Richmond & Jim for your answers, My first try was with a combination of a modifier key and ?. But i'd like to use just one key for it. It is not for going to the general help, but only some objects do have this special help function, so the 'help key' has to work together with the mouse, meaning you move the mouse around and press the 'help key' and the question mark shows up, if your mouse is over an object that has this special help function. That's why I searched on. F1 (as some other F keys), will not work completely, as it leaves a square or an arrow down (non printable char) in the field if the focus is on a non locked field. That's why I had to abandon the 'h' key. What about F6, which does not seem to put anything into a field? Is it used for something on mac or windows? . Or does anyone else have another idea?

Re: How do I determine/set the active layer of a graphic?

How do I determine/set the active layer of a graphic?
Hi there, I got two graphical clock arms (ovals with set startangles) that can rotate on mouseup. Their size is different: 450x450 and 327x327. They need to rotate independent from each other and that works but only when I click on the outer size of the bigger clock arm (and not on the middle because then you got the overlap of the smaller clock arm). So I tried to set the layer of both graphics with: on mouseup set the layer of me to top end mouseup But then I still need to click on the outer size of the bigger clock arm to rotate it. The problem is that both graphics are squares and they overlap. Is there a way to determine on which graphic I click (or am about to click). Maybe with mouseLoc? Any suggestions?

I don't see a help key on my (old) Windows keyboard. The excape key would be a very bad replacement for the help key. Far from intuitive. I'd go with control-? on Linux and Windows and command-? on Mac. You need to test whether this works. On my keyboard, the question mark key is the same as shift-slash.

I am looking for a good key to invoke a special help function. If the user presses this key, then visual feedback by means of an image of a question mark will be displayed if the cursor is within an object that has this special help function. By clicking, the user will be taken to that special help part. I have considered the 'h' key, but it interferes with fields, meaning if the focus is on a field, it will write 'h' to the field. Function keys leave also a trace in a field (the square for unprintable chars). The control or command keys are being used for other things. The 'help' key (keyNr 268762986) can be trapped and does not do anything in a field, so it looks promising. I noticed that in other apps, if pressed, it shows a question mark, but not in my stack. (I can code for the question mark and all other stuff I need). I guess my question is : Does this key also exist on all Windows keyboards (or is there an equivalent) AND can I safely use the 'help' key in my app, so it does not interfere with anything that is there anyway. And will this work on all systems (I am on Mac), like XP, Vista, Windows 7 etc. If the 'help' key is not universal, would the Escape key be a solution? Or any other suggestions?

Could it be that you only need to set the executable bit ?

I want to transfer the UNIX executable portion of a Mac rev
application bundle via ftp. I take the file; compress it to a .gz
file; ftp it; then decompress it. The file size is identical upon
arrival, but it is no longer recognized as an executable... only a
text document.
I am using "binfile" throughout (put the compress of url
"binfile:xxx" into url "binfile:xxx.gz"). What am I missing? I am
transferring from a Mac server to a Mac computer.

Help key
Is the 'help' key (on mac keyboards) a good idea? I am looking for a good key to invoke a special help function.

Re: Error: wait aborted
The "wait aborted" message typically appears when you use command-period
(control-period onWindows) to stop a running script and there are "waits"
outstanding. For example, during a download. Would that explain it?
