Yes. And deleting the users data is a very bad idea. 



OTOH:

Most of my xTalk work through the years has revolved around building in 
house production applications that do all kinds of "work". In  many 
instances putting data on the clipboard is part of an otherwise tedious 
work flow that, clipping for them saves the user the "burden" of using 
the mouse to hit a button or remove hands from he keyboard to mouse to a 
field and drag of click and shift clic to select text and hitting cmd-C 
prior to switch to another app that needs to have that text pasted into 
to proceed. Additionally it prevent user error where they hit cmd-X by 
mistake and wipe out what they are trying to copy.


My users are *very* appreciative of this added tool selecting text for 
them and consider it a "cool" feature and RunRev gets added points...


Just make sure the users know that this is the behavior. Typically my 
Help or "Getting started" will explain this, and I always put a tool tip 
saying this will happen where the object is that triggers it. And I 
usually have  status field (not a dialog box, which again requires the 
user to interrupt work and dismiss) that indicates: "The member ID you 
need is now on your clipboard" just before activating the other program.


For the most part everyone thinks this behavior is really helpful.




Have fun

My guess is the revLet doesn't like to have the registry queried.

You can probably update the switch statement in the _Initialize  
handler with following. I'm just wrapping the queryRegistry calls with  
a check to see if the code is running in the browser:


 switch the platform
case "Win32"
if the environment is not "browser" then
put queryregistry("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel 
\Colors\HilightText") into sSystemA["hilited text color"]

if sSystemA["hilited text color"] is not empty then
replace space with comma in sSystemA["hilited  
text color"]

end if
put queryregistry("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel 
\Desktop\WindowMetrics\ScollWidth") into theValue

if theValue is an integer then
put abs(theValue/15) into  
sSystemA["scrollbarWidth"]

end if
end if

break
end switch

Look in the preferences, in the Script Editor pane, to make sure that

They all work the same way as a splash stack. When you save a  
satellite
stack with new data, it gets altered on disk, no matter what vehicle  
the
engine is attached to. There isn't a way around that, except to  
separate

the data from the stacks entirely (which is generally the recommended

You don't really need to. Satellite stacks are just plain rev stacks.
You can open them at any time in the IDE. They aren't part of the
standalone, they are just documents sitting in the same folder that  
the
standalone engine opens. You can grab them, open them in the IDE,  
edit,

and save them back to their permanent location. That's one of the nice
things about these files.

A standalone is just a copy of the engine with at least one stack
attached. You can't save data to that attached stack, but if the
standalone opens a separate stack file (your satellite stacks,) then
it's exactly like opening it in the IDE, only without the editing  
tools.


Jacque,

Ah, I found it. It is in the package contents. Beautiful. Just as I  
had hoped.

No. You need to load the stack in memory before your stack that has

The Data Grid will not work. If you have everything working then you  
are good to go (just switch to loading the stack in memory rather than  
using it as a library).

Substacks -- the ones embedded into a main stack -- become part of the
standalone. Executables can't save data to themselves, no matter how
many stacks they are composed of. So yeah, you need separate stacks on
disk if you want to save them.


2)  I was unaware of the "shutDownRequest" handler.

Another question or two.

1)  How would  "StackRunner" differ from using my own splash screen?
2)  How would "Revolution Player" differ from using my own splash  
screen?


I don't think either of these would be much different. They are both
basically splash standalones, though Rev's player has a few more
restrictions I think. But with either of these, you'd need to put your
saving instructions into each satellite stack, or else into a  
backscript

that you insert when your first stack opens. That's because both of
these are already built standalones, so to add any scripted behavior  
you

have to use another stack to store the scripts in.

Jacque,

Thanks again. I put all of this to good use and it all seems to be  
working.


But I foresee one problem. I am setting up a  utility for a local  
volunteer group.


There will surely be occasion for upgrades and bug fixes down the  
road. And all of this after they have made additional data entries in  
the stand alone.
It would be possible for me to incorporate a means of extracting all  
the data entry work they have performed, make changes in the original  
satellite stack in the RunRev IDE, repopulate the fields with saved  
data and return it to them for further use.


What would be s much easier if I would have access to the  
satellite stack itself. All the data would be intact and I could  
easily make the changes in the IDE and send it back as a stand alone.
There would seem to be an advantage to using StackRunner or the RunRev  
Player in that the satellite stack is still intact and more easily

Is there some was in the stand alone to make a clone of the satellite

Re: regex question in matchChunk function

[zryip theSlug]

It seems that I have missed the good tread. Apologizes if it's a double
message ;)

To enclose a word without its punctuation you have to define a list of
substitute strings like this :
-> the list of possible form
"  ",",",".",".",".."
-> the substitute list
" 
",",",".",".",".."

With this approach you'll be able to keep your punctuation alive. I'm sure
it'll thank us 8)

To create a list of possible form of whole word, you could:
1) Define the list of punctuation which could starts a word
i.e. : colon,space,nothing,comma 
2) Define the list of punctuation which could ends a word
i.e. : -,colon,dot,comma ...
3) Then mix all possibilities by two imbricated loops (okay it's like
cooking i'm presume 8))

So you'll obtain something like that :
put "colon,space,comma,nothing,quote" into startCharsList
put "colon,dot,comma,-" into endCharsList

put "" into keyWord
put "" into htmlTag
put "" into wholeWordList
put "" into substituteList

-- Create the list of whole words and its substitute list
repeat with startCharNum = 1 to number of items of startCharsList
repeat with endCharNum = 1 to number of items of endCharsList
put item startCharNum of startCharsList & keyWord & item endCharNum of
endCharsList&"," after wholeWordList
put item startCharNum of startCharsList & htmlTag & keyWord & htmlTag & item
endCharNum of endCharsList&"," after substituteList
end repeat
end repeat

-- Search and boxed one or a list of words
repeat with aWord in wordList
repeat with wholeWordForm in wholeWordList
put replaceText(wholeWordForm,"",aWord) into wholeWordForm --
replace the "" key in your pattern by the word that you need
get fld "yourField"
replace wholeWordForm with itSubstituteForm in it
end repeat
end repeat

See how it could work ?
However not sure of the time of processing...

Not tested but it's a possibility.

Anyway you've already found your way and that is the main, so try this if
you would ;)

We don't want to do this, for a few reasons: 1. if there are improvements in 
the datagrid library we are stuck with an old version, 2. we want to avoid 
making users re-download an executable when we have such a slick, 
behind-the-scenes updater :-)

If we say:

start using stack "revdatagridlibrary.rev"

in the PreOpenStack of the stack that has a data grid, is that acceptable?

Or would it be better to have an intermediary stack that opens libraries, then 
launches a third stack which is actually the real program?


Also, is it better, when using a library, to say "start using", or "insert the 
script of... into back"?

True... but when we do tech support, we always have people use the "About..."

Re: Problems with Flashers

[Jacques Hausser]

Well, if you don't want to use PreOpenStack, IF your "XYZ" stack is already in 
memory (it is the case if it is a substract of your mainstack)
you can use

on mouseUp
  put empty into fld "FEELD" of stack "XYZ"
  palette "XYZ"
end mouseUp

Simply empties your field before opening the stack - works as well

Re: Data Grid deployment question

Here's our situation:

We have a product that uses a "splash" standalone that checks our

it's newer.


We just, for the first time, put a data grid in the secondary stack.

So the question is, how do we deploy the "revdatagridlibrary.rev"  
library in this situation? Do we just make "revdatagridlibrary.rev"  
a substack of the secondary stack, and put a "start using" in the  
preOpenStack of the secondary stack? I thought I should ask before  
we started experimenting.


I would either

a) Bundle the library with the splash stack using the directions in  
this lesson:





or

b) Include the revDataGridLibrary.rev stack as a stack file in your  
application distribution. You need load this stack in memory before  
ANY of your application stacks open up or the behavior property of the  
Data Grid's won't resolve properly.


You could potentially include the stack as a substack to your stack  
but Rev would complain when you opened the stack in the IDE and had  
two versions of revDataGridLibrary in memory.


(Obviously we don't want to make thousands of users re-download a  
standalone.)


You might want to consider updating the executable when you auto- 
update though. The reason is that the executable has the version,  
created on and modified on information. If you don't update the exe  
(on Windows at least, you could meddle with the info.plist file on  
Mac) then people using Windows Explorer to see which version of your  
app they have will see the wrong information.

Re: A Rev Web Project and On-Rev working together?

Hi All...

I finished my little Rev web application example. It is still a little

on how it was done :-)  I'm going to send out to our teachers and

Re: Problems with Flashers

Could you empty the contents on the substack's preopen stack handler (though 
that would only work the first time it was opened, I think)

You might also open it off screen and then relocate it.

Re: PasteKey Bug?

[Marty Knapp]

That will do the trick for me. Sometimes I want to disallow pasting or 
check the contents of the clipboard before pasting (rather than testing 
the content of the field on exitfield).


Thanks again Mark!

Hi Marty,

Your menuPick handler should call a handler named pasteIt and the 
pasteKey handler should do the same. Your pasteIt handler should do 
exactly the same what currently your pasteKey handler does.


Apparently, sometimes you want to be able to paste and sometimes you 
don't. For this, you need to adjust your pasteIt handler, for example 
something like:


on pasteIt
  if the short name of the selectedField is "Forbidden Field" then
beep
answer error "Paste not allowed"
  else
paste
  end if
end pasteIt

If this isn't what you're trying to do, please explain more.

There should be no spaces. Try just copying and pasting the script

Hope this helps.

Or even easier. Set the Turtle at the apex and get the angle of the

on mouseUp
 startTurtle --Initiates the turtle graphics library
 penup
 setxy 98,186 --The vertex
 put direction(40,116) into A
 put direction(132,118) into B
 put B-A into dA
 put abs(dA) & cr & abs(180 - dA)  into msg box

You're right. Variables don't have an "htmlText" property, only

it really works.


I think maybe Robert meant "variable DON'T have htmltext property", 
and was saying you can put the htmlText of a field into a variable, 
manipulate it, then set the htmlText of the field to the manipulated 
contents of the variable to display it in rendered form.


Thanx Phil for correction. Yes, indeed, this is what I meant.

To help get you started you can use Scott Raney's demo stack for making 
a simple web server, mchttpd:




Andre's variants are much more feature-rich, but Raney's mchttp may be a 
useful starting point because of its simplicity, designed as a demo 
rather than a complete production environment.


Once you get the hang of how it works, you could tailor it for your 
needs or move up to Andre's libs for more features.

Can't Paste? (Was copying scripts/Deriving an angle from three points)

[dunbarx]

You can't paste? Is it that the pasted text comes over with all its styles? 
(the script editor is filled with color) If so, the size of the mail 
increases dramatically, and it is stopped by Rev's own defences.

I always change copied scripts to plain old text before pasting:

function plainText tText
repeat for each char theChar in tText
   put numToChar(charToNum(theChar)) after temp
end repeat
return temp
end plainText

I set up a functionKey to process anything already in the clipboard. So I 
copy, Fkey and paste.

Or is it something more sinister? I mean, pasting, already. That is like 
breathing.

Anyone have a better way? You cannot set the textStyle or HTMLText of a 
string in a variable.

Re: regex question in matchChunk function

[Chris Sheffield]

Thanks to all who replied and offered suggestions. I ended up using the "find" 
command on my field in order to accomplish what I need. While probably not 
super speedy, it seems to be working well. Fortunately the story passages are 
not too long, so the decreased speed is really not that noticeable.

Thanks again,
Chris

Path name to CD drive

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

if I want to get the path to an inserted CD, with name "foo" I can check on
Mac "the drives", if my disk is inserted. But actually the full path is
"/Volumes/foo/myfile"

Not having so much experience on Mac I would like to know, if I can always
set "/Volumes/" as a prefix before my disk name or is the name "Volumes"
customizable on different Macs?

Or is there another straight way to get the path to a known file on a known
CD?

Thanks

Tiemo

Re: Web interface for executable software

[Andre Garzia]

lol Mr. B I don't add that much features!

I have some HTTP servers in here, I will pack and share them again, as
Björnke said, it is quite easy.

One easy and nice reading, which is more human readable than the RFC is
"HTTP Made Really Easy" available at http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/

Cheers

Yes. And deleting the users data is a very bad idea. On my first week of my 
IT-Apprentice, I was tasked to install something on the mac (mac os 8) of the 
Boss of the company. I went there, downloaded the installer from the server, 
ran it, and then moved it to the trash. then i emptied the trash.
The boss was kindly explaining to me that i shouldn't have done that, because 
his workflow was to trash stuff (same for his real world paper trash), and then 
reassess if he might need it later on... I was scared shitless at that moment, 
but with time i found out that he was an easy going chap.

As for your idea of interacting with drupal, can't you access drupal by going 
to urls, using some kind of third party communication protocol? If not, you can 
just "fake" the forms, by sending post or put with parameters (similar to your 
example), to the correct drupal files. I'm sure there's documentation to do 
that, somewhere on the net.

Have fun

Re: Web interface for executable software

[Björnke von Gierke]

Making a bare-bone http server is not very.

Andre has made html servers using runrev stacks. He tends to add dozens of 
features tho, probably to confuse people and make them think it's very hard ;)

basically you need to accept stuff on port x (normally 80), and then follow the 
http protocol specification:

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html

Hi Kay,

It is rather rare that I try to copy scripts and paste them on mails, so I 
didn't care for a solution. I can live without - as long as I do not post bugs 
;o).

After reading your post this morning, I  checked the process just after opening 
Rev... and it works OK !
When I tried yesterday, I was editing and testing scripts for some hours, using 
relatively large amounts of memory (12 megapixel images). I didn't copy or 
paste them, however.
I try to answer your questions as far as I remember:

> What platform are you on and which email client do you use? Are your scripts
> in Rev or tRev?


Mac OS 10.6.2  -  Apple's Mail - Rev Enterprise

> Does it make a difference if you use your mouse and select Copy and Paste

Not sure - I probably used the shortcut. "Paste" was dimmed in Mail. But not in 
TextEdit (see below) !

Yes, I tried after sending my last mail - scripts pasted in TextEdit without 
problems, either in txt or in RTF.
It seems it was something not recognized by Mail in the clipboard...
I didn't check other programs.
Last precision: the default format for my Mail is set to text only.

I remember too well - specially boring for cmd E ! 
Well, I'll check again after some hours on RunRev... but still, it is not a 
vital problem !

I seem to remember having problems if the email text contained any

RevMail Does not load Mail Program on Windows

[Brent Summerton]

Using a Mac 10.6.2  RevMail function loads Email Program within application 
being design all okay - but not when exported as a standalone application and 
using a PC running Vista.  It will ONLY load the Email program if the field I 
am wanting to send is empty.  Im wanting to send the data in the field!

On EmailResults
 --Send an email using your email client…
   Put field "Results" into TheMessageBody
   revMail "smerryl...@ach.org.au","mgra...@ach.org.au","Food Handling 
Credential", TheMessageBody
End EmailResults

I am using the $500 Enterprise 4.0.0 Edition.   I have checked under General 
that the Internet feature is selected to export with standalone windows 
application.

Is there any format to the field that I should be aware of? Locked/ Unlocked/ 
Disabled, Font? Is this a glitch when designing on Mac, exporting to Windows 
standalone?
