Hi Terry,

A Data Grid is a group, so you can change its color like other group.

Example:
set the borderColor of grp "myDataGrid" to red

Nothing. There was an unbalanced "lock messages" call in one of the  
handlers that repositioned columns. I've fixed this for the next  
release. If you want to fix it in your own copy of the library find  
the ned of the handler _table.RepositionColumns and add 'set the  
lockmessages to msgsAreLocked' above the unlock screen call.

  ...

  set the lockmessages to msgsAreLocked
  unlock screen
end _table.RepositionColumns



Bonjour Trevor,
Thank you very much for that (also for your other answers for "text  
color" and "dimmed hilite color"


Your additions to the library are much appreciated ;-)

Ok, as far as I know there is no standard function for doing that in the
Data Grid.

So a solution consists to set the object color directly by code.
The name of the bottom header of a data grid is: "dgHeaderBottomBorder"

   put "red" into tTheColor

   set the bordercolor of grp "myDataGrid" to tTheColor
   put the long id of group "dgHeaderMask" of group "dgHeaderComponents" of
grp "myDataGrid" into theHeaderGroup
   set the foregroundColor of grc "dgHeaderBottomBorder" of theHeaderGroup
to tTheColor

Nice Geoff -- the use of the move command cuts down significantly on
processor use.  And your stack reinforces the benefits of avoiding a bunch
of stacked "send" messages.

Since the enemies' paths are pre-determined in this method, you can
determine whether a particular shot will hit an enemy at the time the
shot is fired. And vice versa, whether an enemy that you are planning
the route for will intersect any of the current shots on the screen.
It requires a bit of work, but it's (much) better than checking each
time you move the ship to see whether any of the shots have hit any of
the enemies.

I believe this is just a repackaged VNC client (which is free). You can get
free VNC clients for every OS including Android based phones, iPhone/iPod
Touch, Mac, Win, Lin, and all types of *nix. It can be useful as long as
your virtual keyboard is supported. Don't expect to be steaming video
however, because it is not designed for that. It should be fine for basic
interaction with a desktop 2D OS.

I bought it and it works great!  It probably is using VNC under the hood.  The 
speed is great.  I have not tried video yet.  But the screen refresh is very 
quick and usable.  The mouse moves like if it was connected via wire as a 
second monitor.  There is no pinching as in VNC.  There is no virtual keyboard. 
 For our use we could create one through the software we intend to run on the 
device.  It does what it says it is supposed to do.  It turns your iPad into a 
second monitor.  It costs $9.99.

Mr. Kojima normally does very excellent work, so my experience is 
probably more reflective of the beta state of the plugin than his 
coding, but FWIW under the latest version of Firefox I heard squelches 
when I clicked the Play button, then I got the Beach Ball of Death and 
suddenly most other apps weren't working normally either; had to restart 
my Mac for the first time in more than a week.



As a side note, it would be nice if the plugin could ask for user 
permissions when they're needed rather than before the stack loads.


Before the stack loads the user has no way to know why the stack would 
need access to their drive, but once the stack is running the user can 
see that they have options to save files locally.


Another option might be to allow the stack to respond to the user's 
response to that security prompt, so that it could load a version 
without the security-risking features which, in my experience, are 
usually peripheral to a stack's main functionality.



As it is, with so many people requiring their site visitors to give them 
unbridled access to everything on their hard drive, Rev developers are 
giving the RevWeb plugin a reputation of being The Scariest Plugin on 
the Internet.



RevWeb security warnings: use sparingly

Re: Script Reporter v1.1 crashes

2010-05-26 Thread Andrew Kluthe


Most of the script i need to re-write is just in card scripts of my stacks.
The re-write is just a new user interface with some extreme code
refactoring. Its probably like 4 stacks with a couple of cards each. Its not
super big deal, but it would be very helpful because the stacks I need to
re-write won't even load correctly in the IDE.

Our software is sold on a iMac as it is.  So the secondary app we develop would 
run on that computer.  The app we made is a remote control for our vision 
testing software.  The cool part is that a doctor's office of 6 exam rooms 
would install the software on only one computer.  The doctor would be able to 
control all the exam rooms with a single device do to our pairing feature and 
using a network.  It does everything as well as our netbook solution minus the 
video.  The video comes over at about 5-10 frames a second.  This was tested 
with a 720p animation from apples website.  We can still have our product auto 
update since it is a normal app running on a standard computer.  

This solution is not going to be for everyone.  It will only be useful to those 
that were going to need LAN connectivity anyways.  Apps that were designed to 
run in the field will still need a true iApp.  The other option is to go with 
Rodeo if you have WAN connectivity.

Citrix is coming out with a solution that lets one use a Win server to run apps 
on iPads.  The AirDisplay solution is a much more affordable, albeit simplified 
solution that will only work for certain apps.  I am sure the author of the app 
did not intend it to be used this way.  Maybe they will improve on it or make a 
new app that makes it do more of what the Citrix solution offers.

Most of the script i need to re-write is just in card scripts of my stacks.
The re-write is just a new user interface with some extreme code
refactoring. Its probably like 4 stacks with a couple of cards each. Its not
super big deal, but it would be very helpful because the stacks I need to
re-write won't even load correctly in the IDE.


How did that happen?

Never seen that before

Re: Script Reporter v1.1 crashes

2010-05-26 Thread Andrew Kluthe

The thing is, I am not sure. I started building this application while
learning runRev a few months back. I started it as just research into a
project I was hired to work on. The client wanted me to continue work after
seeing such results in days rather than weeks. At this point I decided to
use the GLX Framework. I was bothered by the fact that I didn't fully
understand rev let alone the GLX framework so two weeks later I removed it.
This is when it started that most of my time programming turned into
cleaning up the problems that the nasty research codebase that was
definitely not any good and fixing problems that ripping GLX out had caused.
My program was nearing completion and suddenly I couldn't track down a
localhost DB connection my application was trying to make that didn't exist
anymore (from before I started using SQL Yoga).

There were other more serious problems that I posted about here:
http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Strange-behavior-in-the-IDE-td2223808.html#a2223808

It won't take me long to re-write and it would be a serious benefit to my
finished product if I did.

Re: RunRev on iPad (New)

You are right.  If your interest is to make an app to be sold in the iApp 
marketplace, then this is not for you.  

We just wanted to use the iPad hardware to run a product that does not rely on 
Apple to sell it for us.  It is an add-on to an already well established 
product in its marketplace.  It may be that this solution is helpful to a very 
small amount of developers.  If you are one of those that planned to develop on 
the iPad, be LAN connected, and did not need to sell through iTunes, then this 
may be good for you too.

We are situated in an environment where 99% of our users run our software on 
iMacs.  Our user base has strongly requested the software to run on the iPad.  
The software requires the vision testing system to be installed.  Our setup is 
such that this solution really works well for us.  We still have our netbook 
solution selling today and are interested in how the Android platform develops.

How to hide scroll if field does not require it

2010-05-26 Thread Sivakatirswami

Anyone else wish that fields has a property by which you could turn off 
the appears of the vertical scroll bar, if the field actually did not 
have enough text to require it?


In the absence of that feature, what is the best way to program this?

I have a field that is dynamically filled with a listing from folders on 
the server on the LAN. Sometimes there may only be 1-2 files i the list, 
other times there are many. I would like the field not to have a 
vertical scroll bar if there it only has 1-7 lines of text and then if 
it fills with 8, suddenly the scroll bar appears.


I can think of ways to do this, but How are others doing this?

This handler is in my standard library stack used by most of my projects:

command enableScrollbarIfNeeded pFldName
  if the formattedHeight of fld pFldName > the height of fld pFldName then
set the vScrollbar of fld pFldName to true
  else
set the vScrollbar of fld pFldName to false
  end if
end enableScrollbarIfNeeded

It's worked well for me.

Sivakatirswami,

Do you mean that you would like fields to do this automatically? The  
following works for a simple editable field:


on rawKeyUp
 set the vScrollbar of me to (the formattedHeight of me > the  
height of me)

 pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp

It is easy to add a similar feature to your own script. What is your  
own solution?

Testing a DB connection

2010-05-26 Thread Alex Adams

Does anyone have a simple technique for testing to see if a DB connection is
still functioning before trying to use it to execute some SQL?

I have an app that accesses hosted databases directly (postgres).  Users
logon at app startup.  If they let the app sit for long enough, the
connection to the DB server is dropped.  This is reasonable, but I want a
simple way of testing to see if the connection has been dropped and if it
has to reestablish the connection transparently before executing SQL
statements.

I need a simple isDBStillThere handler.  Is anyone doing anything similar?

Thanks,

Just wondering... does the formattedHeight take O(N) time to compute or does
the field know it in O(1) time? If O(N), then this solution sucks for fields
of any appreciable size (say 1,000+ lines).

Re: How to hide scroll if field does not require it

2010-05-26 Thread Web Admin Himalayan Academy

Formatted width was the obviously way to go, but as with some many xTalk 
things: how best to implement?  attached it to the field (as you have 
done) put it in the stack script and call it when the card is opened, 
what if you have a menu that is loading the field by chosing a folder...


I don't do enough professional apps to always know what is the best way 
to do things, I pretty much hack my way through to something that just 
works. I'll use Devin's little handler.


I'm creating right now a fairly sophisticated little app for revision 
control of InDesign Files  for  a team of editors (since Adobe saw fit 
to drop it's Version Cue product, which was badly broken anyway) has 
more code than anything I have done in the past (nearly 400 lines now in 
the stack script)... I'm already in trouble trying to use "private 
command preopencard" to prevent things from happening when substacks are 
opened, but if you privatize commands, sometimes they just don't work 
and I don't understand why.  I got a lot of globals going and sometimes 
they just turn up emptyat least from a handler's point of view, but 
if I check them in the msg box, they have values! dunno why, nothing is 
resetting them, so I started setting up custom props on the fly as these 
seem to be less volatile...  I'm starting to wish I had a better grip on 
"best practices"  Hence I always run to this list for help from the pros.


command enableScrollbarIfNeeded pFldName
  if the formattedHeight of fld pFldName>  the height of fld pFldName then
set the vScrollbar of fld pFldName to true
  else
set the vScrollbar of fld pFldName to false
  end if
end enableScrollbarIfNeeded

Thanks Devin!

Re: How to deal with unplug from the LAN

2010-05-26 Thread Web Admin Himalayan Academy

With a tip from Andre, we solved this problem... it's really pretty 
neat. Perhaps someone else may need this.


Mac Only

This queries the hardware-network interface and give you and instant 
response... if the users just unplugs from the network or turns of her 
airport, with a remote volume mounted... you want to be sure you don't 
try to interact with the server...otherwise you will get a 2 minute time 
out waiting before the system gives back the CPU to RunRev


Do this first: (disclaimer, any code I offer probably could be highly 
optimized)


function connectionStatus

   put shell("ifconfig") into tStatus

   # Parse for ethernet status
   put lineOffset ("en0:",tStatus) into tTarget
   put line ((lineOffset ("Status:",tStatus,tTarget))+tTarget) of 
tStatus into tEN0status

   set the itemdel to ":"
   if (item -1 of tEN0status) = " active" then
  return "true"
   else
  return "false"
   end if

   # Check Airport-Wireless status
   put lineOffset ("en1:",tStatus) into tTarget
   put line ((lineOffset ("Status",tStatus,tTarget))+tTarget) of 
tStatus into tEN1status

   set the itemdel to ":"
   if item -1of tEN1status = " active" then
  return "true"
   end if
end connectionstatus

Then all other places you need to interact with the server:

command CheckVarunaIsMounted
   if connectionStatus() <> "True" then
  answer "You appear to be offline line. Connect to the network by 
ethernet or airport. Then try again." with "OK"

  exit to top
   else
  put URL 
"file:/Volumes/Varuna/WWW/*Sites/varuna.hindu.org/ping.txt" into 
gControlFile

  if gControlFile = "true" then
 set the icon of btn "Connected" to 1097
 put "true" into gVarunaMounted
 set the uVarunaMounted of this stack to "true"
  else
 put "false" into gVarunaMounted
 set the uVarunaMounted of this stack to "False"
 set the icon of btn "Connected" to 1098
 answer "Varuna is not mounted. Shall I mount it for you?" with 
"OK"

 mountVaruna
 exit to top
  end if
   end if

end CheckVarunaIsMounted

command Checkin pFileName

   CheckVarunaIsMounted

   if the uVarunaMounted of this stack <> "true" then
  answer  "Sorry, Varuna is not mounted, you cannot check in 
files." with "OK"

  exit to top
   end if

   # increment revision number; change co to CI; retain user initials; 
rename local file

   put pFileName into tNewFileName

etc...

end checkIn

Then I always run this every time I set the default folder to the 
server, when done getting the file listing:


command unTetherStackFromServer
   set the defaultFolder to ($Home&"/Documents/")
end unTetherStackFromServer

and then the user gets no msg saying he can't unmount the volume because 
it is in use by RunRev.


HTH somebody...

I might add that in a situation with many users the server will be much

"Maybe because standalones have an (editable) script limit of 10 lines,

seems not to, directly refer to my script problem;

EXCEPT; my problematic script (that works in a stack, but not in a 
standalone)
thread through a variety of scripts that exceed 10 lines and reside in 
fields.


Does anybody know if reffing scripts infields is interpreted as building
scripts dynamically as they are not directly entered in the 'script space'
of a particular object ?

If the above is so; would I be able to circumvent the need to store 
socking-great
scripts many times over in each object by stroing a script as a custom 
prop in
an object than can be reffed from other objects (why do I get a funny 
feeling
that scripts stored in custom props can only be accessed by that 
particular object???)?


How about storing the script in the stack / card script and calling it

How about running down the main street with a plastic bag on my head 
shouting

"noodly, noodly, noodly, pip, pip, pip, poop" ?

Re: Hard CASE: cracking the nut?

2010-05-26 Thread stephen barncard

One cannot 'set the script of' inside a standalone. But perhaps a script of
a stack outside the app could be written to by a SA. ( Richmond: please let
us know..)

 I know in HC I would 'point' to various fields and get past the 30k limit
of their field system. However, I don't remember how I put them in the path.
I think I had some kind of handler switching system. That was over 20 years
ago.

Is script swapping really necessary? We've got so many ways to do things,
substacks, etc without the workarounds we had to do in HC. Is there really a
reason to 'do' more than a few lines?

I'm sure that "do'ing" runs slower, too, so not good for repetitive tasks.

Sounds like a great start to me. Must try that :-)

If you are using do field "xyz", then indeed you are running into the script 
limits. Write handlers at stack or library level and execute those.

example at stack level

on noodly
  answer "pip"
end noodly

now you can call noodly from any control in your stack. Example for a button:

on mouseUp
  noodly
end mouseUp

I'm pretty sure that's the problem, and was going to mention it except 
Scott beat me to it.




EXCEPT; my problematic script (that works in a stack, but not in a 
standalone)
thread through a variety of scripts that exceed 10 lines and reside in 
fields.


Does anybody know if reffing scripts infields is interpreted as building
scripts dynamically as they are not directly entered in the 'script space'
of a particular object ?


They are. Any script that isn't pre-compiled in the script editor is 
"dynamic".




If the above is so; would I be able to circumvent the need to store 
socking-great
scripts many times over in each object by stroing a script as a custom 
prop in
an object than can be reffed from other objects (why do I get a funny 
feeling
that scripts stored in custom props can only be accessed by that 
particular object???)?


You can access custom properties of an object from anywhere, even 
another stack, but even so it will be a dynamic script. So that won't 
work for you either. Any script that needs "do" in order to execute is 
dynamic.




How about storing the script in the stack / card script and calling it


That will work, and is what you should do. But note that you can't set 
the script of an object to more than 10 lines in a standalone either, so 
the script has to be static. Any script longer than that has to be 
pre-written and compiled in the IDE.


Since you need the script for several objects, have you considered using 
behaviors instead? Compile the script in a button, and then assign that 
button as the behavior for all the objects that need to use it.




How about running down the main street with a plastic bag on my head 
shouting

"noodly, noodly, noodly, pip, pip, pip, poop" ?


If you decide to do that, take videos, please. :)

 Thank you for all the good advice: especially the last bit: -


How about running down the main street with a plastic bag on my head 
shouting

If you decide to do that, take videos, please. :)



However; being a bit of a slob, I have taken the easy route: instead of 
having 19 faux buttons (images)
reffing a script stored in a field I have copied the offending script 
into each button.


Oddly enough, considering the offending script is somewhere near 2000 
lines (serious stuff),
it doesn't seem to slow things down noticeably: compiles and builds as a 
standalone that WORKS.

"When using a standalone application created by Revolution, you can

Re: Testing a DB connection

2010-05-26 Thread Bob Sneidar

Yes just check the result after making a call to the DB. I have found it useful 
to set up my data before opening a connection to a database, and then once I 
open it, I update all my data and close it right away. This way I know I have 
to open a connection just before updating any data, and I usually have a 
command or function I call that exit's to top after popping a dialog for the 
user's sake. 

As others have posted, sqlYoga also has a method of reconnecting, but of course 
if the database is gone, it will still return an error, so you still have to 
handle it.

The term "statementlist" here is in italics, which means it's a variable

Phantom Table field

I have played around with table fields, but wonder where any information 
about them exists. The user manual barely mentions them. I see it is a single, 
(sort of) list field with management to permit text entry into "cells".

I cannot for the life of me trap any of the keyup/down or rawKeyup/down 
messages. These work as advertised in ordinary fields.

Since it acts sort of like a 2D list field, if I write a mouseUp handler to 
get info on the selectedChunk, say, I get an expression referring to a 
field number greater than the number of fields on the card. In other words, the 
number of the table field is 5, and I get a chunk expression like "char 1 to 
4 of field 6". Where is this phantom field?

Re: revWeb - revlet - examples please

2010-05-26 Thread Alejandro Tejada

Hi Rick,

These are links to the revlets that i have published
in these mail list:

http://www.capellan2000.000space.com/test01.html
http://www.capellan2000.000space.com/test02.html
http://www.capellan2000.000space.com/test03.html
http://www.capellan2000.000space.com/test04.html
http://www.capellan2000.000space.com/test05.html

You could present them as part of "works in progress"
:-D

Revlets test01 and test02 ask for permission to
use your disk, because they save or export
a pdf, svg or adobe ilustrator file.
(currently, these plain simple svg files open
using Inkscape, not Firefox).

I used the following stack in my design classes to teach
about RGB and CMYK:

http://capellan2000.000space.com/RGB_CMYK/test.html

This is a test in spanish created by a friend of mine
(using a template that i give him) for his computer
classes.

http://capellan2000.000space.com/examen.html

He told me that this test is largely unfinished and
needs to correct ortography and wording of selection
items. I believe that he had to change his images
to reduce the stack size and check in detail the
importance of every question.

But the point, about this exam is that when you
enter the page, it ask for permissions to use the
network and write files to your disk.

Effectively, when you finish this (still incomplete)
exam, the stack ask you to save the results in
your hard disk.

I have two more visually rich stacks that i plan
to convert to revlets: Japanese Syllabaries
and Qubic. You should check Scott Rossi's
messages in this list, because he posted
some really cool revlets.

Rick, if you need to check the stacks from which
these revlets where made i could post links in
the list.

Re: Phantom Table field


dunb...@aol.com wrote:
I have played around with table fields, but wonder where any information 
about them exists. The user manual barely mentions them. I see it is a single, 
(sort of) list field with management to permit text entry into "cells".


I cannot for the life of me trap any of the keyup/down or rawKeyup/down 
messages. These work as advertised in ordinary fields.


Since it acts sort of like a 2D list field, if I write a mouseUp handler to 
get info on the selectedChunk, say, I get an expression referring to a 
field number greater than the number of fields on the card. In other words, the 
number of the table field is 5, and I get a chunk expression like "char 1 to 
4 of field 6". Where is this phantom field?


Rev puts up a cell-sized field over the clicked "cell" so that you can 
edit the contents. When you are done editing, Rev puts the new content 
back into the relevant item chunk in the field and removes its own 
field. The field is temporary. The reason you can't retrieve any 
click/selected/text chunking info is because Rev is trapping all that in 
order to process the text and pop it into its editing field.


If you don't use the cRevTable cells option in the inspector, none of 
that will happen and you can manage the field text and trap selections 
normally.

If you're using an image, set the text of the moving image to the text of
your "exploding" image or similar.

Yes.

Just tried both actions on an image moving across a card and they appear to
work as expected (Rev 4 OS X).

Did you think to publish them in a stack or as a library?

I believe that the keyword that made possible this kind
of code is: "view port".

Thinking of the Graphic User interface as a viewport
is conceptually the opposite of the usual method of
working in this platform.

This property is also in the 4.0 release. I'm using actually it with the 4.5
dp2.

But if I not missed something in the doc, this property is not referenced.
May be it's time, as the "border color" property, to give it a place in the
doc, no? 8-)

Detecting which column was clicked in a Table field

Hi,
I tried your script and it worked as is, but not as planned.
When clicking in the white space of a column, it returns the number 4.
When clicking on the text of a column, a number is returned.
But when clicking in the far left column, it returns 0 (zero).

So I changed the clickChunk to mouseCharChunk and that worked better. It
returned a value when clicking in the white space 'inside' the values in
the row. Clicking to the far left or far right of the row value text
returns nothing.

I did notice that So Smart Software has a tutorial on Table fields,
which shows how to get the row number and column number from the field
custom props. But the table field's lockText property has to be false,
allowing editing. Having it set to true does not return a value :(

So far I haven't found a bullet proof solution, but will continue to
work on it and let you know.

Anybody else got ideas on this?

That's technically correct because there aren't any items before the 
text starts. You could put in a single exception for that special case: 
if tNumber < 1 then put 1 into tNumber.

Re: Detecting which column was clicked in a Table field

2010-05-26 Thread -= JB =-


I haven't really been following this thread and read it quick before
sending a reply.  After reading it seems you want to be able to
click on white space and get the column.

To click on white space and get the column number you can use
Dynamic Table Field and then COMAND CLICK.  This will show
a dialog that provides row and item numbers.  The item number
will be the column.  It you click on text without holding down the
command key it will provide you with the row and item numbers.

All of the code is in the field.

Re: How to deal with unplug from the LAN

2010-05-26 Thread Alex Tweedly

Hmmm ... looks like you may have a problem with copy/paste in creating 
this email. in "connectionStatus" the first if ...then...else cluae will 
*always* cause a return, so the check for Airport never gets used. I 
suspect the original code did the Airport check first, then the Ethernet 
one - that would have been OK.


In general, can there not be more than one ethernet interface installed 
- so why not check if *any* interface of the form"enx" ihas status active.


e.g. (typed direct into email - beware typos) ...

set the itemdel to ":"
repeat for each line L in tStatus
  if char 1 to 2 of L = "en" & char 3 to -1 of (item 1 of L) is a 
number then

  put lineOffset (L,tStatus) into tTarget
  put line ((lineOffset ("Status:",tStatus,tTarget))+tTarget) of 
tStatus into tENstatus

   if (item -1 of tENstatus) = " active" then
  return "true"
   end if
end repeat
return 'false'

airport, with a remote volume mounted... you want to be sure you don't 
try to interact with the server...otherwise you will get a 2 minute 
time out waiting before the system gives back the CPU to RunRev


Do this first: (disclaimer, any code I offer probably could be highly 
optimized)


function connectionStatus

   put shell("ifconfig") into tStatus

   # Parse for ethernet status
   put lineOffset ("en0:",tStatus) into tTarget
   put line ((lineOffset ("Status:",tStatus,tTarget))+tTarget) of

   set the itemdel to ":"
   if (item -1 of tEN0status) = " active" then
  return "true"
   else
  return "false"
   end if

   # Check Airport-Wireless status
   put lineOffset ("en1:",tStatus) into tTarget
   put line ((lineOffset ("Status",tStatus,tTarget))+tTarget) of 
tStatus into tEN1status

   set the itemdel to ":"
   if item -1of tEN1status = " active" then
  return "true"
   end if
end connectionstatus

Then all other places you need to interact with the server:

command CheckVarunaIsMounted
   if connectionStatus() <> "True" then
  answer "You appear to be offline line. Connect to the network by 
ethernet or airport. Then try again." with "OK"

  exit to top
   else
  put URL 
"file:/Volumes/Varuna/WWW/*Sites/varuna.hindu.org/ping.txt" into 
gControlFile

  if gControlFile = "true" then
 set the icon of btn "Connected" to 1097
 put "true" into gVarunaMounted
 set the uVarunaMounted of this stack to "true"
  else
 put "false" into gVarunaMounted
 set the uVarunaMounted of this stack to "False"
 set the icon of btn "Connected" to 1098
 answer "Varuna is not mounted. Shall I mount it for you?" 
with "OK"

 mountVaruna
 exit to top
  end if
   end if

end CheckVarunaIsMounted

command Checkin pFileName

   CheckVarunaIsMounted

   if the uVarunaMounted of this stack <> "true" then
  answer  "Sorry, Varuna is not mounted, you cannot check in 
files." with "OK"

  exit to top
   end if

   # increment revision number; change co to CI; retain user initials; 
rename local file

   put pFileName into tNewFileName

etc...

end checkIn

Then I always run this every time I set the default folder to the 
server, when done getting the file listing:


command unTetherStackFromServer
   set the defaultFolder to ($Home&"/Documents/")
end unTetherStackFromServer

and then the user gets no msg saying he can't unmount the volume 
because it is in use by RunRev.

never ending scroll?

2010-05-26 Thread Nicolas Cueto

Hello,

I'm trying to simulate the iphone's scroll-wheel, and am wondering how
to recreate its never-endingness effect (i.e., the vertical list of
items returns to its first item when its last item is reached).

All I could think of so far is to use a scrollable field, but whose
scroll action is handled by button script rather than directly through
the field's scrollbar.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: Hard CASE: cracking the nut?

2010-05-26 Thread Marty Knapp

What I have is a standalone that contains template stacks from which a 
user creates their own stacks. These stacks are saved outside of the 
standalone. I wanted to institute an updating feature, where the user's 
stack version is compared to the template (which may have had revisions 
from being updated) on launch and if needed to have the standalone copy 
the scripts from the template into the user stack, rather than making 
them create a new stack. But if any of these scripts exceed the 10 
statement limit it will not work. So I stripped the template stack of as 
much code as I could, which also minimizes the need for updating in the 
first place :)


But this user stack needs access to the standalone stacks and scripts to 
function properly, so now I've found that if the user launches the 
standalone by double-clicking their stack, that once in a while the 
stacks/scripts it needs are not available and I get errors when the user 
stack loads. Not always, but probably 1 in 10 times. I've tried a number 
of routines to check for this, but these routines need to be in the user 
stack and I run into the 10 statement limit . . .


I hope that's understandable!
