Yes, I did reply, and its excellent that they are doing this.  You have to do
soundings of your customers from time to time.  The only reservation is that
no matter how sophisticated your stats, what this does not give you any
information about is the customers you do not now have, but could have, were
you do do things differently!

But that's the really hard part.

As I explained in my original e-mail, your example creates the

If I open the file it looks empty; but I wouldn't know about

Here's the script I used in a button that creates the file with 2  
resources,then retrieves them to a field named "Notes":


on mouseUp

  -- Create file first
  put empty into URL "binfile:~/desktop/resource test.dat"
  get setResource("~/desktop/resource test.dat","TEXT", 
999,"Test","U","Hello World")
  get setResource("~/desktop/resource test.dat","MARK", 
999,"Test","U","Hello World2")

  put getResources("~/desktop/resource test.dat") into fld "Notes"
end mouseUp

Maybe they're not "real" resources; only some kind of special "rev"  
resources?

That's exactly backwards from every survey I've ever seen.

Re: Listing available MYSQL databases

2010-05-29 Thread Ken Ray
Actually, it's even easier than that:

put "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u username -p password --execute='show
databases'" into tCmd
put shell(tCmd)

The only minor downside is to get the TRUE list, you need to clean up the
result a bit (the first line just says "Database" and the last line is
empty). So you can simply do this in one statement (indented here for
clarity):

put line 2 to -1 of shell("/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u username -p
  password --execute='show databases'") into tDBList

Sorry for coming late to the party here, but there's a "gotcha" you need to
know about:

Although the specialFolderPath() approach will give you a path, you can't
count on "/WINDOWS" being in the path - you can give the main Windows
directory any name you like during the install of ANY version of Windows (so
far). However since most people don't install Windows but just get it
preloaded on PCs they purchase, it is almost always "WINDOWS".

For example, I used to have a PC which dual-booted Windows ME or Windows XP
(yes, this was a long time ago), and I had one directory named "WINDOWS" and
the other "WINXP", and based on the boot choice it would pick the proper
folder. So if I booted in XP and got the specialFolderPath("system"), it
returned "C:/WINXP".

So to truly make it work, you need to not assume anything other than the
specialFolderPath will give you a path that you can delete the last
"/"-delimited item from to get what *should* be (until Microsoft changes it)
the system volume:

set the itemDel to "/"
put item 1 to -2 of specialFolderPath("system") into tSysDrive

Just my 2 cents,

Hopefully, they will re-release the survey with a more conventional order.

By the time one is in one's mid-40s the brain is half-rotted  . . .   :)

This is directly relevant to a current situation in my EFL school.

Last week I decided to run the kids through a practise PET test; and 
they all

"f**ked-up big"; this was odd as their English is reasonably good.

So, after a suitable rant on my part, and suitably splashy tears on 
their part,

we did another one (at the next class); and they all did very well indeed.

The difference being simply that I went through the instructions with them
before the second attempt (they had charged at the first one like a bull at
the matador's cape - didn't bother to read the instructions).



Now; while I'm on this particular soap-box let me have "a go" at the
RunRev documentation:

the other day I asked a question about how to duplicate a card with all 
its controls,

scripts and so forth . . .

now the reason why I asked this question is because I searched through
the documentation under DUPLICATE and COPY . . .

now, maybe I'm thick, or maybe it just didn't occur to me to look for CLONE;

by why would it? when everything else of this sort comes under DUPLICATE.

-

So; there are 2 problems; coming form each end. so to speak:-

1. is the user has to read the instructions.

2. the instructions have to be written with the user in mind.

However, as the surveyors have no way of knowing who did the survey
correctly, and who did it "standing on their heads", the only thing that
will be extrapolated is a set of data that doesn't really represent people's
opinions, and it would be disingenuous to represent it as such.

So you're implying the documentation is not good enough because you choose
not to read it.  Hmmm.

To be fair, "See Also" is the 3rd block down in the docs, pretty well "above
the fold".  And if your tube of paint required an operating system to run,
shipped with dozens of example tubes and documentation describing how best
to apply the paint, explaining what media are most suitable for the paint,
then it seems pretty likely you would crack open the docs at some point.

Please.

Behavior changing layer

2010-05-29 Thread Jeff Massung
So, got an interesting "bug" here, wondering if someone knows what's up.

I had a bunch of buttons. Each of them shared the same behavior, which
changes some graphical effects on mouseDown, but also sets the layer of the
button clicked to "top" (it does this because they are all butt up against
each other and I want the border of the button clicked to pop out).

Everything's fine at this point.

Later on I decide I want all these buttons as part of a group so I can
hide/show them all at the same time very easily. So, I group them under the
group "Toolbar".

But, now the behavior script no longer works. It dies when trying to set the
layer of the button clicked. I assume this is because the button is in a
group and I can only change the group's layer. But, is there a way for me to
change the layer of the button within the group?

I'm not sure if all I need to do is put the behavior button within the group
as well, but I'd rather not as I have other controls using this as a
behavior as well.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Example of scrolling group?

2010-05-29 Thread Jeff Massung
Anyone have a good example of how to make a group that scrolls (like the
data grid)? I haven't seen anything in the User's Guide or on the RunRev
site - although I could have missed it.

Thanks!

You can override this by setting the relayerGroupedControls to true
but just be careful them that you don't layer the objects right out of
the group.

Re: Writing to the resource fork

Thanks Stephen. Tried it and it asked me to install Rosetta- so I found HexEdit 
2.2. Looks pretty good.

revMobile and SDK

2010-05-29 Thread Mark Smith
I have a question for the group. I've been reading about the recent changes to 
the Apple SDK for the last couple of hours (here and on Appleinsider) and one 
thing I don't understand is how Apple can actually do this? Is it only for 
products that are intended to be marketed through the app store? If you choose 
to market your product through some other means do they still have any say over 
how you develop your application? Seems nuts or illegal to me.

Re: Writing to the resource fork

2010-05-29 Thread Joe F.
Right, empties all.
Also interesting, I could only getResources from the files I created with Rev. 

I was pretty sure I had seen all those working in someone else's stack.
I thought maybe "open for binary read" might work, but no.

Could this be something that was once working and is now broken in 4.5-dp2?
