Re: a weird thing about registration, Linux

2010-11-02 Thread Peter Alcibiades

A solution is to change owner.  After chown to my user, it runs and updates
the DGH fine.  Should not have to do this, however, and it does not solve
the problem that every account should be able to use it.  I will write to
support.

Re: Stack dimension for mobile application

2010-11-02 Thread paolo mazza
Thank you Terry.
You are right,  so the stack size for the 3 devices will be:

iPhone 4  is  920 x 640

iPhone3 - iPod Touch is 460 x 320

iPad is  1004 x 768

This is if you have a portrait application.
What happen if you turn the device to the landscape orientation?
I guess you have to resize the stack/application to

iPhone 4  is   960 x 600

iPhone3 - iPod Touch is 480 x 300

iPad is 1024 x 748


Am I right?


So, if I have to deploy an application for the 3 devices, I need to set 6
different sizes of the stack. Right?


I guess we need a  geometry manager taking care of this automatically
would be great!


All the best to all the rev developers.


Ciao

Peter,

I proposed a possible workaround here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/use-revolution@lists.runrev.com/msg143289.html

The main problem in your case is your need to have a shared plugin
folder for all your accounts. That's why you need to use the plugin
folder located in the opt directory.

To solve this, I could probably change the owner of the folder by
script before to update, and restore the owner after the update.

I dislike this kind of brute manipulation, but that is a possible way


Best regards,

Hi Tim,

Try to download http://qurl.tk/jv (tab ball) or use our own (whichever is 
newer) and un-tar the file. Open  terminal and use 'cd' to navigate to 
.../rr268x-linux-src-v1.1/product/rr2680/linux/. Type make install and wait 
what happens. If it does't work, you are probably missing some libraries and 
don't need to keep trying. Ask the manufacturer for the correct source for your 
Linux version.

No, but you're running a really old version of Revolution. The latest is 4.5
(now called LiveCode); the additional options to menu shortcuts were added
in 3.5 (I believe). So you'd have to upgrade to take advantage of them.

Re: Best practice for creating a custom control

2010-11-02 Thread Jérôme Rosat
Thank you Ken for the link and  the example. Yes, it helps me a lot.

Jerome

Le 1 nov. 2010 à 22:24, Ken Ray a écrit :

 
 
 I'm looking for a kind of best practice for creating custom controls. For
 example, how to access the data of the custom control ? Do we have to use
 custom properties or a setProp or getProp handlers  or both ? Is it 
 preferable
 to use a prefix for naming a command ? And for custom properties, do we have
 to use a set of properties ? With a standard name ? Etc.
 
 You might want to take a look at the budding standards document that is in
 development over at the revInterop user group:
 
 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/revInterop/
 
 There's a bunch of info there about naming conventions, etc.
 
 As far as accessing the data is concerned, there isn't really a best
 practice yet; getprop/setprop works well in *some* instances, but not in
 others, as does actually using custom properties. For example, I tend to use
 custom properties to store data relative to custom controls I've created,
 and only use getProp/setProp when I want to trigger some kind of visual
 feedback.
 
 For example, I have a custom control which is a prompt field (it's a field
 that shows a custom text string in gray; when the field gets the focus, the
 text goes away so the user can type what they want, and when the field loses
 the focus if there's no text in the field it shows the prompt again). To
 specify what text should be shown as the prompt text, I set the
 uSTSPromptText of the field to a value. If the field is currently showing a
 text prompt, I'd like to change that to the value I'm setting for
 uSTSPromptText, so I have a getProp handler that is triggered to make that
 happen. 
 
 Hope this helps,

RE: linux question

2010-11-02 Thread Damien Girard

Hi,

I have took a look at the highpoint-tech.com website, and the driver that they 
provide does not seems old, they claim that they support linux kernel up to 
2.6.31.

But making it working it seems to be an harder things :)

By the way, on Debian before everything you will need to install the 
meta-package build-essential and the package linux-kernel-headers. (apt-get 
install ...)

Then go to the subfolder (of the archive):
$ cd rr268x-linux-src-v1.xx/product/rr2680/linux/
$ make
And as root
# make install

And to load the driver (as root):
# modprobe rr2680

To launch the driver at boot time, on Debian append the following line to the 
file /etc/modules:
rr2680

I hope that I gave you some clues about solving the problem ^^

Kind Regards,

Damien Girard

delete chunk.

2010-11-02 Thread Alex Tweedly


Hmmm ... what should I get from

put a,b,c into temp
delete item -1 of temp

I think temp should now have a,b, - i.e. the last item has 
disappeared, but the (now) trailing item delimiter should still be there.


However, I actually get that temp has a,b - the last comma has also 
disappeared.


The docs say that delete chunk of container is equivalent to put 
empty into chunk of container - but if I replace it so I do


put a,b,c into temp
put empty into item -1 of temp

then I do indeed get a,b,.
Feels like a bug, and I should put it into QCC - but it's late at night 
and I may be just missing something.

Am I ?

Thanks

These are different - item -1 containing empty is different than item -1 not

It seems like it is behaving intuitively to me.

The docs might be confusing, though.

That's correct. Removing the last chunk of any string also removes the 
delimiter. There have been many debates on whether this is correct or 
not, but it's been that way in every xtalk since the beginning.

Right. You can't have an empty last item, and if you try, the last

item.

Meant to add: this is also consistent with the number of lines, where a

Just tossing this out there, but I *love* this behavior. I'm sure there are 
situations where it's undesirable, but are easily compensated for by just 
adding another delimiter.

Begin able to do the following is very handy and makes the code clean:

put foo  cr after fld x
put bar  cr after fld x
put the number of lines of fld x

Having that return 2 is extremely convenient.

seconds function giving wrong time

2010-11-02 Thread David Beck


I do not remember this ever happening before. Something very strange 
seems to be going on here. I'm hoping somebody can shed some light on 
what it is. After typing in these commands in the message box:


put the seconds into test
convert test to dateItems
put the internet date into test2
convert test2 to dateItems
put test  return  test2

I get the following result:

2010,11,2,20,23,46,3
2010,11,2,22,48,44,3

The second result matches the system date correctly (Windows 7 running 
on Parellels). The first result is 2 hours and 25 minutes behind. Does 
anybody have any idea what is going on here?


Thanks.
