Finding USB volumes on Win
In January with the help of Phil, Peter, and others I got some great tips for identifying removable drives on OS X and Linux. But I'm having difficulty figuring out how to do the same in Windows. I can find the registry entries to determine which devices are mounted, but they don't contain the info which will let me know which drive letter they're associated with. I've tried setting the shellCommand to diskpart and then using: get shell(list volume) ...but that returns 2, which means a syntax error, even though that syntax works fine from the command line. Any tips on how to identify mounted removable volumes and obtain their drive letters? Extra bonus points if I could get their names too, for those that have been named.

Card Display Management
In a recent post on the forum, I found out about the raiseWindows property which ensures that Rev windows don;t get interleaved with other application windows. That definitely solves the problem I was having but I'm wondering if it is possible to implement a different card display management interface with Rev. What I have in mind is a single workspace window for my application with any cards being displayed within that workspace instead of in separate windows. Continuing the card metaphor, I guess you could think of the workspace as a card table with the individual cards being laid down on it. I found the backdrop property which almost does what I want but it covers the whole of the screen and I really want a window that takes up just part of the screen. Got a feeling this probably isn't possible but if anyone has any ideas, I'd be interested in hearing them. I'm running on OSX.

Re: Still Having Data Grid Row Coloring Problems
I copied your code from the example exactly and IF I use change the foregroundColor... it does just that: Highlites the selected line in blue with white letters. When I select a new row, the background of all the other rows is white with red text. If I change foregroundColor to backgroundColor, as soon as the selection moves off of a line, the whole line becomes invisible (but the data is still there since if I go back to that line with the hilite, the data again becomes visible).

Continuing the card metaphor, I guess you could think of the workspace as a card table with the individual cards being laid down on it. I Peter: I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to achieve (I don't follow the forums very often). If you want to show cards within a workspace, you can set the dimensions of your stack to be larger than the area needed for content, and make a background (ie desktop or tabletop) that appears on all cards, on which your card content sits. You will only be able to show one card at a time however. If you're looking to show multiple cards at once, this is not possible using runRev's card structure. You'd have to place your card content into separate groups -- then you could hide/show groups at will. If you have a lot of card groups however, this can become unwieldy. A third option could be to place your content into palette stacks, that overlay a topstack. This way you can have multiple cards within multiple windows, all sitting on top of a separate background stack, and because the cards are in palettes, they will never fall behind the background stack. You could also give the palette stack custom drag routines so they can't be dragged beyond the rect defined by the background stack. If none of these options fits what you're trying to do, you may need to explain more of what you're trying to accomplish.

I Peter: I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to achieve (I don't follow the forums very often). If you want to show cards within a workspace, you can set the dimensions of your stack to be larger than the area needed for content, and make a background (ie desktop or tabletop) that appears on all cards, on which your card content sits. You will only be able to show one card at a time however. I'm guessing that Peter wants to create a windows-style MDI application. For example, if you open MS Word, while each Word document is in its own window, those windows are self contained within the MS Word window. My understanding with Rev is that you might be able to simulate this behavior wish a whole lot of groups and custom code to simulate GUI windows, but it would likely be fragile and not worth the effort (if this is what you want). A better option would be to do what Scott suggests: use a background group with everything you want to stay the same between cards (like toolbars) and have each card just display a different document. Downside: you won't be able to see see multiple documents at the same time.

Slow opening of cards in .exe file
Hello there, In a new app I am working on I am experiencing slow opening of cards in the .exe file on Windows 7 (on Mac OSX the app works fine and smootly). It seems that all of the cards are send to memory at once because after the first mouseclick and about 10 sec wait it all works fine. In the button there is just a single line of code: on mouseup go cd xxx end mouseup I use a 'on preopencard' script on each card but I just hide some buttons in there. Nothing to difficult either. Is there a way to speed things up or a way to improve performance? Thanks!

Hi, I'm not sure I understood how Valentina DB licensing works. Does anyone use Valentina DB? If I understood it right, if I purchase ADK+ (3 platforms: Mac, Linux, Windows), I can build applications on all platforms and distribute royalty-free applications using the DB. As they mention in the sales page, I can use 18+ platforms, includint the iPhone when RevMobile supports externals. Am I understanding it right? Anyone uses it for commercial applications? Thank you.

I have had the same problem all the way back to XP. But it is only a problem the first time I navigate away from card 1. It can pause a LONG time before it goes to the selected card (and I've only got 10 or so in the stack) but after that first switch it's pretty zippy. Even on Windows 7. len On 3/22/2010 4:35 PM, J.

socket write/read conflict?
Hello List, I've made a quiz-type game where 2-6 students on client stacks buzz in their answers to a server stack, all on a local network. The server stack, as well as sending out the questions, informs live to all the students/client-stacks about who buzzed in what. I thought I had it working until we found a problem. If two out of six students happen to buzz in an answer almost simultaneously (by clicking a button on a game controller pad), as expected five of the students will receive the server's message about who buzzed in first, but one of those two students who buzzed at the same time won't. Except for this simultaneity, all other server-to-client communications work. After trying to track this down for weeks, I'm posting here in hopes of some list magic. My guess, as the subject line reads, is that a client stack might be writing to a socket at the same time that the server is trying to write to that same socket. But, not understanding well how sockets work, the problem may lie elsewhere. I think I've eliminated the obvious types of mistakes, but... So, I am including below the essence of what my server and script stacks do. It is quite long, so apologies beforehand. As always, the list's help in this is greatly appreciated.

Re: socket write/read conflict?
Two things jumped out at me in your code: 1) broadcastToAllClients - you show an IP address of 127.0.0.1. If this was not just an example, you can't use that number. That is the IP of the local host and won't actually ever leave the machine. 2) You are selecting item 3 of tArrayDataLine which I assume is comma delimited (based on the example line above it). I don't set a setItemDelimiter to comma in that handler and I /think /the default delimiter is tab. I also believe that the itemDelimiter you set is only valid for the current handler so as soon as this handler is finished, it will revert back to tab. Hope that helps a little. len On 3/22/2010 10:14 PM, Nicolas Cueto wrote: Hello List, I've made a quiz-type game where 2-6 students on client stacks buzz in their answers to a server stack, all on a local network.
