exporting images in RTF from runrev

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

rtf seems to be a dead end when you look to the new xml docx and openoffice 
formats, but of course will live longer than expectable. 
As posted some weeks ago under the title "function  binaryDecode within a 
function ..." - the following script does basic image export in rtf:

function image2rtf objektname
export image objektname of group "inhalt" to bilddaten as JPEG
-- for testing: export image 1 to bilddaten as JPEG
get binaryDecode("H*",bilddaten,timage) 
put "{\rtf{\pict\jpegblip\picwgoal874\pichgoal1121 " & cr into header
put cr & "}" & cr & "}" into footer
put header & timage & footer into rtf
put rtf into URL "binfile:c:/rtftest.rtf" -- this works fine
return rtf -- this only works with small jpgs, do not know why
end image2rtf 

Some users could not confirm my problems with bigger jpegs in return.


P.S. I have very good results with exporting to HTML and opening in Word 2007. 
You must give the width and height of images in the html-Text for word to set 
the right rectangle - but thats the same in rtf. 
Regards,

Franz Böhmisch

I'd love to be able to export reports as Word-compatible RTF - 
complete with images. I've requested that feature in the quality centre:

http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=4231

The ideal would be if Rev could save the images as RTF directly, 
alternatively, if the RTFText could at least contain a reference or 
comment to say that an image is present, that would be useful (then 
I'd have to roll my own image to RTF code). At the moment, there's no 
sign in the RTF at all that there are images in the field.

Re-2: Jan Schenkel's merge tutorials + templates

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

I am very impressed by the merge articles. Thanks Jan. Never heard of "merge" 
at all - very helpful!.

Because of not knowing that feature I used my own template methods learned in 
Perl and PHP. But perhaps in some cases these can perfectly cooperate with 
merge (therefore I add it here):

put the rtftemplate of this card into rtfexport
replace "$message" with mymessage in rtfexport
replace "$someothervariable" with myvariable in rtfexport

put the looptemplate of this card into looptemplate
repeat ...
put newline after looptemplate
end repeat

replace "$myloop1" with looptemplate in rtfexport

put rtfexport into URL "..."

Instead of manipulation the rtftext source of such documents I could design it 
with the [[x]] merge technique more comfortable AND FLEXIBLE. 
Thanks

Regards, Franz

2 revBrowser Instances on one card with target references from first to the second - possible?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello

Q: I would like a card with 2 altBrowsers, which have names and the second is 
the target of the first
Is this possible?
compare: 
if I have a link in HTML with target="second" the browser opens a second 
window. If I use this reference target="second" in another window or in the 
first window the browser would use the already used window nr 2.
Might this be possible in runrev using 2 browser instances? Any Ideas?

show myinfo in target window2
opened in altBrowser window1 ... any possibility to give a second instance the 
name "window2" as would do the browsers?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi Mark,
unfortunately If you sign in to Gmail using a browser that isn't fully 
supported, you'll automatically be directed to a basic HTML view of gMail 
without the chat application.

I wonder if there is a workaround for this.


More than this, I have no idea how can I install a plugin for the rev-browser 
application.

video chat from revolution

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Revs,
as you certanly know Google has added audio and video chat to 
Gmail. 
The new video-chat  essentially offer most of the features of Skype, 
but you can  access it from the browser.
To have the video chat working you 
need to install a plug-in.
I wonder if there is a way to have this video chat 
working in a Revolution application.
I would be great!
Any clue about it?

Hi Jonathan,

I'm surprised that nobody answered till now. I did not try 
chromakeying myself, but I would suggest
1) to sample the color of blue background (perhaps at different places to get 
an amplitude of variation of the color - it is never absolutely constant) with 
the mouseColor function. Alternatively, put arbitrary 
limits at + - n pixels of each channel of the sampled color.
2) to identify pixels of the image of which the color is in these limits
3) to set the corresponding pixels of the alphadata or ot the maskdata of this 
image to 0. Then the image with be transparent except for what you want to keep
4) to replace the pixels of the imageData of your new background 
image by the non-transparent pixels of the first image
-- or alternatively to put the partially transparent image over the 
background image, what allow to change the scale, for example, and 
then to use a snapshot to merge the two images (at screen definition)
6) to use the alphadata or the maskdata of the first image to identify the 
limits of the incrusted one, and to apply some blurring algorithm to the pixels 
around this limit. Without that, the limit will appear 
jaggered.

The two images must of course have exactly the same dimensions in 
pixel rows and columns. Look at the dictionnary for imageData,MaskData and 
alphaData for details... and tell us about your experiences !

good luck

Jacques

Re: building a installer with rev

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Grüß Dich Tiemo,

1) Perhaps you should try a mixed approach with an installer doing the hard 
things and your application doing the additional needs you want: 
a small installer + your own routines for copiing from the DVD after start of 
your installed application.

Make an installer for example with installgadget with just a few files 
necessary for installation, running, registry settings and uninstall. 
start.exe ->start.rev
Your own application could then do the rest when the installed version starts 
(the first time or whenever the user wants to copy the videos from DVD to the 
drive):

* find the location of the DVD
* Let the user define a folder where to store the videos (the installation 
folder might be not good for such an amount of videos on different 
drives/partitions) and store this location in a userproperty ;-) of the 
installed start.rev or in a file. 
* copy all files from the DVD to this folder
* your start.rev should check during start whether a local media folder has 
been created or the videos of the DVD must be used.

Re: stack design with externals?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hallo Tiemo,

I hope I understood your question:
I have the experience, that 1) the runrev standalone always expects the 
Externals in the subfolder of the defaultfolder, which is normaly the folder 
where the standalone is located and this location is expected by other stacks 
also which start from the same standalone (not relational to the location of 
any rev-stack), and 2) you can set the External location of any stack in "the 
externals of stack xyz", if you use to change the defaultfolder during the 
program:


1)
if you make a standalone 

teachit.exe

with all the externals these are located in the subfolder /External:

teachit.exe
ssleay32.dll
libeay32.dll
External/revbrowser.dll
External/rev...
External/database_drivers/dbmysql.dll
...


The standalone can go to other rev stacks even on webserver etc. but my 
experience is that the externals always will be found in the subdir /External.

You can use in the standalone.exe
go stack "teachA.rev" in window (the windowID of this stack)
AND/OR
go stack URL http://myserver/stack.rev in a new window

if these stacks need externals and they are present in the subfolder of the 
stack where the standalone is located, it works.

=> Therefore I once have prepared a start.exe with all externals I have, which 
in the openstack script automatically loads an stack with the same name, but 
rev at the end.

I rename this start.exe as project1.exe, put project1.rev in the same folder 
with the dlls and the External folder and it works.
I only make a new standalone, if a new runrev version is published and I need 
it. In the normal case I just copy my start.exe as a loader to the actual 
project.rev.
And they always find the revBrowser External ... therefore I guess this also 
the case with Valentina.

2) doku "external"
Examples: 
set the externals of stack "Apps" to field "Executables"

Use the externals property to use the externals in the specified files.
Value:
The externals of a stack reports a list of file paths, one per line.
Comments:
Each line of the externals specifies the name and location of a file containing 
external commands and external functions. If you specify a name but not a 
location, the file is assumed to be in the defaultFolder.
Regards und freundliche Grüße,

Franz

Re: persistent objects in runrev (howto)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Andre,

Thanks Andre for your info: "Nothing new under the sun" (Qohelet)
I had to learn this method of storing objects as binaries by trial and 
discussion, because I did not read it in newsletters or sth similar. But I am 
glad to have realized it - late but I did ;-) As a result of our discussion in 
further versions of runrev I would expect a runrev function to export only the 
selected objects into a file and restore it, like existing moduls in 
perl,python,java do. And perhaps this could be done with protection 
immediately. Or does this exist and I did not realize it?

 sth similar like

export/save group "content" into URL "binfile:content.1.aniweb" using passkey 
mykey
import/restore group "content" from URL "binfile:content.1.aniweb" using 
passkey mykey

instead of 

create tempstack
copy object xyz from stack "contentdesigner" to tempstack
save tempstack as ...
delete tempstack


open tempstack
copy object xyz from tempstack into currentstack
delete tempstack (for not running into memory problems with many open 
tempstacks).

Re-4: persistent objects in runrev (howto)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Richard,

Thank you for your comments!

You wrote:

"If you're copying objects, you may find it both more secure and more 
convenient to maintain to have as few handlers as possible in those 
objects, which merely call handlers in a central library or your app's 
mainstack to do the real work,"

I did this as you suggests, but since 2 weeks I do it in a more extremistic 
way: I (almost) do NOT HAVE ANY script in such objects I want to copy from 
stack to tempstack and back. I use the event hierarchy for solving this. In the 
stackscript (or cardscript if appropriate), which gets any event from such 
objects with empty scripts, I have sth like:

on mouseDown
if the short name of the owner of the target = "content" then 
-- there is only one group "content"
grab me
select the target 
-- etc.
else 
...
end if

This has the result that you can move around only the selected object within 
the group "content", copy the group "content" from the stack to the tempstack 
and back - without disturbing the other objects in the card. And it allows 
easily changing the handlers in later versions using the same group "content" 
edited by previous versions.

Since 
a) I embed the important (password protected and some not protected) stacks 
into the standalone 
and 
b) as Chipp pointed out the standalone binary cannot be decompiled as easy as 
in 2.2.1
and
c) I can load my own encrypted stacks by decrypt stackbinary; go stack 
stackbinary
and 
d) I even can use the passkey syntax for opening extern protected stacks from a 
.rev file by a routine in the standalone which knows the passkey for these 
external stacks 
I can live with the password mechanisms of runrev.

Regards, Franz

function binaryDecode within a function ...

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello

Again my question concerning binaryDecode.
get binaryDecode("H*",bilddaten,t)
is basically correct.

The following function 
* exports a jpg of a group "inhalt" to a variable rtf (1), 
* then to a file for opening in word (2) and 
* returns the variable rtf(3). 

(1)+(2) work correctly for any jpg (big and small).

(3) is a problem. The same function returns the SAME result as string in the 
following line of code. But here only jpgs with smaller sizes than 5 bytes 
return the content of t within the variable rtf.
I do not understand anything. I can work with it - but I would like to 
understand the behavior.

Regards, Franz Böhmisch




function rtfkonvert objektname
export image objektname of group "inhalt" to bilddaten as JPEG
-- for testing: export image 1 to bilddaten as JPEG
get binaryDecode("H*",bilddaten,t)

Re-2: persistent objects in runrev (howto) + Q: unprotected stacks in standalones

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Chipp,

The experienced users seem to have had this solution (the old suckUp spitOut 
trick) since years I am so proud of since the weekend. Exactly thats it. 
Because I even could embed some unprotected stacks I would use in this way in 
standalones instead of putting it in a separated .rev file:

A question to the experienced:

The old 2.2.1 standalones have been #!/bin/sh encapsulated stack files and the 
old decompile script from the list could decompile the stacks from the 
standalones (the stacks stay password protected to be shure). The standalones 
now seem to be changed in format and technique  (I checked this on 2.7 a year 
ago on linux and win) and the decompile script from the eldest does not work 
anymore. Q: Is it possible to decompile  current standalones with such a short 
script?

(Please not the answer: you can decompile any program ... ;-) I am no 
assembler.

Ken,

The way I read it-- it's the old suckUp spitOut trick but encrypting
the stack beforehand. The idea being it's not necessary to password
protect the stack as anyone trying to read the file format won't be
able to make sense of it. Therefore, after 'spitting out' you can use
it just like any non-password protected stack. Perhaps I'm wrong, but
that's what I get from the rather vague post.

Re-2: persistent objects in runrev (howto)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Ken

yes - you can copy objects (buttons, groups) INTO password protected stacks, 
but not copy objects FROM them. Coming from Toolbook I had to realize and 
accept that ...

runrev password protection protects stacks against
* copiing objects FROM it 
* editing passwords

It does not protect the stack against
* copying objects INTO it (including scripts in this objects)
* deleting objects within it, 
* moving around
* reading/writing custom properties of stacks or objects etc.

This causes the behavior that you can copy an object (even a background coming 
in front of the event hierarchy) INTO a password protected stack - but you 
cannot copy a modified object back then without putting the passkey ...

Because I have to copy the objects from my working stack to the tempStack first 
I have to use stacks without runrev password protection (to copy objects FROM) 
for my concept of persistent objects. 

With the concept of my own encrypted stacks I can load from the standalone 
(with an embedded stack which is password protected and includes the aniDecrypt 
function) we have talked about in chatrev I now am able to do what I want. 

This would be the concept:

put URL "christmas.aniweb" into chistmas; go stack aniDecrypt(christmas);

So you're saying that you can copy an object into a password protected stack

Re-2: alternatelanguages ... persistent objects from "createObject"

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Krey,

the reason for my desire to reuse open win COM objects aims to use many other 
COM Objects and winword/excel is just an example anyone knows. Of course in 
winword you can save the file and open it in a second session.
But I have some scenarios where it would be fine to having let the object 
opened and just interact with it.

It is just an idea to think about during a coffee break ... 

Regards, Franz

Just curious - why would you need to do this instead of just creating a new
object? The reason I ask is that you can successfully link to currently open
instances of applications (I'm thinking MS Office primarily) to manipulate
them from multiple independent scripts. That is, you can use VBS with
createObject to launch an instance of Excel, say, and get a sheet started,
and then later use another VBS with createObject to add data to the same
worksheet in Excel.

That would be nice! :-)

alternatelanguages ... persistent objects from "createObject"

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,


Using alternatelanguages allows these (like VBS, Javascript) to interact with 
windows COM objects (using the createObject Syntax f.e. for opening word or 
excel and write sth there, save it and close).
As I asked some weeks ago - how could I reuse such an object later?
One answer in the list (I do not find the posting in the moment, sorry for 
making no credits) was really good: I can use a global variable "result" in the 
alternatelanguage as an global variable bridge: f.e. from vbs to runrev.  This 
indeed works.

But: Could it be possible out of runrev (any idea) to have 2 
alternatelanguagescripts 
runword1.vbs and 
writeagaininword2.vbs
where the second just uses the word object opened by the first. => Can I use a 
COM-object again by any trick?
The first script could perhaps give back an objectID in the "result" variable 
to runrev, but how could I reconnect the writeagaininword2.vbs to this existing 
object (if the first script did not close it)?

Of course it would be the best runrev could use COM directly ... how about a 
createObject command in 3.1 ;-)

Regards,
Franz Böhmisch


A second question:
What can I do with the XML alternatelanguage on windows? 
After put the alternatelanguages on one pc I get

XML
VBScript
VBScript.Encode
JScript
JScript.Encode
PerlScript
"SignedJavaScript"
"SignedVBScript"

You probably will not believe this one but its true!

When drawing in a graphics app I constantly keep two fingers over control+Z to

menus and shortcuts

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Mark,

I run most of my .rev apps from a precompiled universal runrev .exe with the 
same name => the info is in the stack object, not in the standalone. If you 
download http://animabit.de/runrev/test.exe and put it into /anirun.exe and put 
a stack in the same folder into /anirun.rev than it starts, and if you put all 
the dlls and Externals of a standalone with all features in the same folder 
there than all works.
=> The info of the Shortcuts is in the objects in the stack and just 
interpreted different in IDE versus standalone.

The info seems to be stored only in the text of the menu button and if the 
standalone finds a shortcut notice there like (&Paste/V but no handler for it 
then the event stops. Because a menu is normally a background on top of the 
event hierarchy that means blocking of this shortcut.
put the text of button "Bearbeiten"
(Cu&t/X
(&Copy/C
(&Paste/V
(Clea&r

Learned a lot of your comments Mark!

Now *that's* a good question. Since your original stack works in the
IDE but not a standalone, I'd guess that the process of building the
standalone binds the keyboard equivalents, but I don't have a clue as
to when or where this happens.

Hello 

thanks for the good info, Mark!
I have a menuPick handler in the script of the main stack to handle all menus.

After opening the group in the menueditor I saw what you mean. 
Where in the group menu does runrev store this information about shortcuts?

Here's your problem: in your background menu group you have defined
the control-V keyboard sequence, so you're trapping it from the
keyboard in your Bearbeiten button but you haven't put in any code to
process it.

You can paste into the fields with control-shift-insert, so the paste
mechanism is working fine in the standalone. You can change the
keyboard equivalent for the paste operation in your menu, or you can
put some paste code in the menu handler.

on menuPick pChoice
answer "I got it"
end menuPick

Now... here's where I think this is still a bug... if you disable the
Bearbeiten button then you obviously can't select it with the mouse.
But it *still traps the control-V keyboard sequence*. I think
disabling the button should disable the keyboard traps as well.

Re-7: I cannot paste in any field in an app (reproducable bug, final report)

Hallo Malte, Chipp, Tiemo, Neal, Devin

Thanks to all.

The Problem is identified and reproducable as a bug even in 3.0 standalone 
(thanks Malte Brill). 
Will report the bug in the bugcenter. 

For me actually solvable by replacing all menuitems in the navigation group (= 
I do not use the menueditor anymore) by buttons and a script in the group

on mouseup
send "menuPick" && the label of target 
end mouseup

Finis.

Hello Chipp.

Thanks you very much!

the http://animabit.de/runrev/test.exe is a 2.9 standalone which loads the 
runrev stack with the same name in the same dir. If someone wants to download  
both files in a dir and test it.

The Problem are the menuitems in the background group in a standalone. If I 
delete the menuitems and just put a button in the background group it works in 
the standalone.

If anyone had the time to make a windows standalone out of the test.rev stack 
with 3.0 we could see whether the problem is still alive or solved.


Thanks for your testing.

Re-2: I cannot paste in any field in an app (consisting of up to 7 stacks)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi all, 

thanks for the advise list! I checked the suggestions - and I think I have 
found the point
I have identified the problem but do not understand it (and the idea about the 
edit menu of malte has helped me finding):

I have a navigation background in all the stacks (=above all in the event 
hierarchy). I have made a test stack consisting only of some fields and this 
background group. With the background in it I cannot paste in the fields, after 
deleting the background I can.

I have deleted the script in the background = the problem is the same therefore 
not in the script (I had no paste routines there).

It is only the group object (marked as background without any further special 
details) which causes this behaviour that I cannot paste (Strg-V) into the 
fields of the stack where this background is included. Does the event STRG-V = 
paste be stopped by a background generally?

I have put the teststack into URL
http://animabit.de/runrev/test.rev
and a standalone loading this stack into
http://animabit.de/runrev/test.exe

If anyone wants to test this behaviour.

hi,

may sound stupid. Have you tried adding a menubar that has an edit 
menu to the main stack? If not could you try and see if you can paste 
then? If so I might be close to a godzilla report.

hta for using ocx in runrev

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello 

Ken - Yes I use an old ocx - using ocx is as totally an old technique for old 
guys ;-)

I can recommend HTA for solving many of these problems

But I have learned by this check that I can use any component in windows in 
runrev by
a) do xyz as vbscript  with CreateObject (if the component is a COM Server)
b) shell("xyz.hta") with a html-like application using any ocx + Comserver with 
createObject
c) If anyone could offer me a solution for using .NET assemblies in runrev ... 
perhaps in 4.0 ;-)

Re-4: using an ActiveX (twiz32.ocx) from runrev by vbs

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi Ken


BTW, I'm assuming you're talking about Rev 3, right? If not, let me know as
there's a couple of differences between VBS in Rev 2.x and Rev 3.


Thank you all for help - I use 2.9 and did not know that there are differences 
in handling of vbs in the new runrev 3.0.

I came to the following solution: instead of running vbs from runrev I use 
scan.hta (hyptertext application) with the code:




Scannen







this works from commandline (I use the shell("scan.hta") command from runrev). 
If I would put a Self.Close on the End of the Body onLoad, the scan would not 
start because the hta is closing before. 

A new problem occured:
The mshta.exe process in any case does not close on the machine I am testing on 
(xp sp3). => I do need vbs from runrev for that.

In the case the mshta.exe does not close (a problem in ms windows documented in 
the ms kb) I use the following vbs in field 1 and run it from runrev. This 
works and closes any process "mshta.exe".

on mouseUp
put field 1 into auftrag; do auftrag as VBScript; put the result 
end mouseUp


set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts:")
wql = "select * from win32_process"
set ergebnis = wmi.ExecQuery(wql)
for each objekt in ergebnis
liste = liste & objekt.name & " Prozess-ID: " & objekt.processID & vbCr
next

wql = "select * from win32_process where name='mshta.exe'"
set ergebnis = wmi.ExecQuery(wql)
for each mshta in ergebnis
mshta.Terminate 0
next

using an ActiveX (twiz32.ocx) from runrev by vbs

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

Is it possible and how can we use activeX with the alternateLanguage Function 
of runrev by the way of visual basic script vbs? I do know how to run Excel or 
Word from runrev in this way (using COM and createObject), but not how to use 
an ocx.

Any idea or suggestions?

I use an ocx (Olympus Twain Wizard) for administration of a scanner on windows 
(TWAIN). This works in Visual Basic 6.0 without any user interaction (in this 
case Scan if the Form opens:)

Private Sub Form_Load()
Form1.Twiz1.AutoFeeder = True
Form1.Twiz1.ShowUI = False
Form1.Twiz1.Resolution = 300
Form1.Twiz1.AcquireToFile ("c:\test.jpg")
End Sub

Now I try to do this with vbs in runrev (but I do not know whether this is 
possible).

I tried 


   scanner = CreateObject("Twizlib.Twiz")
scanner.AutoFeeder = True
scanner.MaxImages = 3
scanner.ShowUI = False
scanner.Resolution = 300
scanner.AcquireToFile("c:\test.jpg")



But the ocx seems not to be accessible by createObject ("The ActiveX object can 
not produce a new object"). To be shure: But this error even occurs when the 
name of the class is wrong.

The Typelib ID of this ocx is

{A96AC4E1-6EBF-11D0-AA7C-00608CC9A71F}

the most importent methods and settings are 
ShowUI = False
AcquireToFile("c:\test.jpg")

Thank you Colin, Eric, Joe and Ken for your considerations.
Sorry I am always light years behind the speed with which you all reply but I 
usually wade through about 4 batches of UseRev posts every evening.

Yes, I had instinctively typed bottomRight but then saw an example in the docs 
(2.8) that said rightBottom so I changed it (although I have never heard that 
used in English). Now, today, I can only find bottomRight in the Dictionary 
(2.9)!

Luckily, my base image is a thin rectangle that runs diagonally along the line 
I was describing and the images to be dealt with are placed along it, so this 
excludes the transparent part of the rect. Unluckily, they are also placed over 
holes in the PNG image itself so Rev might not detect them. Thus the idea of 
describing a line.
I was hoping to avoid checking every image that fell within the rect of the 
larger image but maybe that will not take up too much time - once I get the 
script working.

Could I give a double definition in the repeat such as: images within the rect 
of myGroup and the name of which contains "aName"?

As far as the Dictionary being confusing, look up the Example for Break in the 
Summary(2.8). First it says that this breaks out of the entire Switch and then 
out of the case. What's more the first word in lines 1 and 2 of the example 
script seem to be inverted!

again, lots of thanks
Barry Barber

repeat structure

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi gang,
I am trying to make a repeat structure that deals with an unknown number of 
images located along a given line.
The line is the diagonal of a currently selected group.
How can I define that line and does it have to be actually be drawn before 
referring to it?

My attempts so far include:
-
the rect of the selectedObject --the group
put the points topLeft and rightBottom of it into tSightLine

repeat for each image within tSightLine
select it
   the rest of my rubbish 
--
Of course, the second line throws an error (unquoted literal) but I cannot find 
where to put the quotes it is asking for.

For some reason the script Editor does not colour rightBottom red unless the 
words are separated but then the error is Expression: bad factor - so I am 
leaving it black.

Any kind offers?
Barry

Re: increased reaction time runrev 2.9 on an xp with sp 3

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Tiemo,

I have this problem of an increased reaction time of the IDE 2.9.0 on 
mouseclicks on my XP machine where I have installed XP Service Pack 3. This was 
no problem before.

Hi, I've just installed Rev 3.0 and noticed two things



1. The reaction time on menu mouseclicks (I reported before) in Rev IDE 3.0
on Win XP (with and without stacks open) is still a crawl. Anybody else
(beside of Horst) having performance problems with the IDE?



2. When trying to open a script with activated GLX2, nothing happens. After
deactivating GLX2 the scripts are opened in the new Rev editor. I didn't
found any deinstall procedure fro GLX2. What is the appropriate way to do
it. Just remove the GLX2 plugins from the plugins folder and that's it?



Thanks

Tiemo

group with an editable textfield - select the group when clicking in the textfield

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi

Wie make a tool for churches for making their web pages without any knowledge 
of HTML, images etc.

I use many groups on a card symbolizing the elements of the webpage f.e.

a group with a textfield
one with an image
one with fields organized as table in rows etc.
one with a calender symbol ...

http://animabit.de/pfarrtemplate.de/anichurch001.jpg
http://animabit.de/pfarrtemplate.de/anichurch002.jpg

and the user can reorganize the objects by drag& drop etc.

My little problem: I have a script for selecting the group when clicking on any 
target contained in this group. It does work fine but not with editable 
textfields. When I click with the right mouse on the textfield, the mousedown 
handler works immediately - but the cursor is not in the textfield for typing. 
If I click with the left mouse the cursor is in the field but the mousedown 
handler does not work and the last selected group (for example the one with the 
image) stays selected. My script which does the work:

on mousedown mouseButtonNumber
if the name of the target contains "hintergrund" then
-- do nothing
else
grab the owner of target -- for moving around the group
select control (the owner of target) 
open stack "objektbrowser" as palette
put the short name of the owner of the target into field 1 of stack 
"objektbrowser"
put the typ of the owner of the target into field 2 of stack "objektbrowser"
end if
end mousedown 

I tried the following 

on openfield
mousedown
pass openfield
end openfield

but in this case I could click in the textfield, the mousedown handler worked 
and the group was selected ... but the focus of the cursor in the textfield has 
even been lost (as when clicking with the right mouse).

If I do it manually in 2 steps it is possible => it should be possible by 
programming also. Click
first with the right mouse (= mousedown works and the group is selected) 
second with the left mouse (the cursor is in the field but no mousedown handler 
is sent)
then the group stays selected AND the cursor is in the textfield for further 
typing.

How to do this?

Regards, Franz

Re-2: script not working when the stack is password protected, why?

Hello,

just got the info on chatrev that this approach

on openCard
if the environment <> "development" then
set the passKey of this stack to "xyz"
end if
end openCard

is not secure for a rev file

because someone could open the rev file, make another substack with a script 
(go stack "protectedstack" (now the password is passed); go stack 
"mynewsubstack"; put script of stack "protectedstack" ... voila)

I could not even think so evil ;-)

I try:

on anyhandler
set the passKey of this stack to "xyz"
do and let the script cut and work from the stack...
set the passKey of this stack to empty
end anyhandler

...

Re: script not working when the stack is password protected, why?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi,

the problem is in the line
copy image "i1" of group "vorlage" of card 2 to group "kopfleiste"

It tries to cut an image of card 2 before copiing it to card 1.
=> can't cut object (stack is password protected)

This is not allowed when the stack is password protected (in older versions I 
remember I could get image 1 of card 1 of this stack even when password 
protected - I am glad about this improvement - if I remember correctly).


I try the following solution:

on openCard
if the environment <> "development" then
set the passKey of this stack to "xyz"
end if
end openCard
It seems to be secure ... in the standalone this allows the script to work, but 
not in the IDE.
Does this be secure? My decompile stack, which I got from the net for 
decompiling a 2.2 runrev -standalone exe to a 2.2 runrev file and which worked 
till 2.7 does not work anymore. Any newer version of the decompile script on 
the market ;-)

Re: scanners and Rev

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello
 
we have made an App in revolution interacting with scanservers of Axis. But 
because these scanservers are expiring it is not the right point to start with. 
But there are similar techniques on the market. Then you just get the scan by

Another application uses scanners which scan directly in a dir on the pc which 
is permanently checked by a runrev application which works with the scanned 
images (jpg and pdf).

Re-2: Removing CRLF from text

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

crlf and cr are not the same!

from the docu:
Use the CRLF constant as an easier-to-read substitute for numToChar(13) & 
numToChar(10).
cr is  numToChar(13) only.
Runrev engages in text fields for optimization according to the used OS => you 
do in most cases not see the differences when using text fields. When using 
variables and binfiles the difference of crlf and cr can be important. In 
runrev you often have relicts of LineFeed LF (10) when using ftp from a win pc 
to a unix os. In this cases you have to replace crlf with cr (=remove 
numToCHar(10).

Hi Mark,

I played with your question by pasting your text example into a field, demo, 
and by grabbing a text file using the URL pattern you shared.

I thought that CR and LF are basically the same thing. So, when I used:
replace "+"&CR with "" in field "demo"

it seemed to work. I used RevStudio 2.9 on MacOSX4.11.

take care,

Hi,

RunRev: 2.90
OS: WinXP

I have a situation where a software application's ini file has the plus (+)
char and CRLF at the end of a line, when the line passes 80 characters. The
balance of the ini entry is placed on the next line. Each ini entry could be
very long and possibly go to 3 lines.
Why they did this I don't know, really.

But what I need to do is remove the + and CRLF so that each ini entry is
complete in itself, on one line.

ini file currently contains:
dfgsdfg sdfgsd fgsdfgsdf gsdfg +
sdfgadfs dgdghs dfdfgg fghf+
dfgh dfgh

Result I'd like after running the script:
dfgsdfg sdfgsd fgsdfgsdf gsdfg sdfgadfs dgdghs dfdfgg fghf dfgh dfgh

I've used this script, and variations of it, to remove these characters: +
CRLF.
It removes the + char, but still leaves each ini entry split into multiple
lines.

I've also searched the archives for a solution, nothing is working.

Any ideas?


My script:

on mouseUp
--clear current fields on card
--these fields are so that I can see the results from the script.
put empty into fld "Orig"
put empty into fld "Changed"

--fetch the file
put "C:/temp/some.ini" into tFilename
put URL ("file:" & tFilename) into tData
put tData into fld "Orig"

repeat for each line L in tData
--grab the line
put L into tLine

--If the line contains +, then it will also contain CR and LF,
--so only work on a line with +.
if (tLine contains "+") then
--find + and delete it
put offSet("+",tLine) into tPos
delete char tPos to tPos in tLine

--find CR and delete it
put offSet(CR,tLine) into tPos
delete char tPos to tPos in tLine

--find LF and delete it
put offSet(LF,tLine) into tPos
delete char tPos to tPos in tLine

--put the line into a container so that I can see the results
put tLine & cr after theLines
else -- just put the line into a container
put tLine & cr after theLines
end if
end repeat

put theLines into fld "Changed"
end mouseUp

wait 500 millisecs with messages
read from process perlupload until empty
put it into tResponse
if "xyz" is in it then
put it into tResponse
exit repeat

waiting time of shell()

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

I use 

put shell(perlupload) into result
if result contains "xyz" then 
put true into itworked  
else
...
end if

with perlupload as a perl program which loads files  through proxy http on slow 
connections to a cgi prog on the server ... and gets the http-HTML-respond page 
as result. This result is returned to runrev and I want to check the success.

This works fine for 90 % of the files but in the case the files have the size 
of up to 5 MB the perl upload process needs more time than the shell command is 
patient to wait. The perl process in most cases continues until success, but 
the return of the shell is empty and therefore my runrev prog never could be 
sure whether the upload process had been successful or not. I cannot do the 
upload in runrev native, because it is a special VPN context, which I could not 
solve in runrev native but in perl.

Q1: what is the prefigured waiting time of a shell command in runrev?
Q2: can I change this waiting time (let shell the time to work longer for long 
processes, before it returns control to runrev and says empty as result)


Thank you for any advice,

Franz

Re: how to for making a commercial library for runrev (barcode analysis)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Tiemo,

nice to meet you here fighting against your 1000 videos ... and your videos 
against you ;-) 
I hope you still are glad about your migration to runrev as I am in most cases. 

Hi Jan,

thank you for your advices! 
For contacting runrev it would be to early for me I think (I guess the 
RevSelect program would cost sth and in this case I am a Scot in bavarian exile 
;-).
But your experiences with a library stack embedded with "start using" is in the 
direction which is helpful for me. I did not yet use animation engine of malte 
or your Quartam reports etc. in a working environment (therefore never had 
experience with the license system used in such commercial libs). Generally it 
would be helpful if there would exist a standard defined for runrev commercial 
libs.
When someone often uses Perl and CPAN he enjoys the defined standard "use 
MODUL::SUBSET"  and "my $barcode = .. -> new; $barcode->do etc." which allows 
embedding of moduls very easily and makes the design of moduls very clear.

The library stack method is clear. Perhaps the licensing method could be set by 
a standard either ...
Perhaps:

start using  stack PDF with user "xyz" and password "abc" and 
parameter="version=1.3;security level=high"

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hi Franz,

As a provider of Revolution add-ons, I'd advise you
to:
- contact Heather Nagey  for more
information about the RevSelect program
- join the RevInterop group
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/revInterop/> to find
out more about packaging and metadata

Generally, I ship my libraries as a self-contained
stack that people can 'start using' and then
initialize with their license key before they can
actually use the commands and functions.

For instance, the PDF library has the API help
built-in as a substack, as well as a separate substack
with demo scripts. When you open the library stack, it
has the copyright information and buttons to take you
to the demo and documentation substacks.

By the way, congratulations with your project: I can't
help but thinking of how one could use this with
Revolution to create a cross-platform alternative to
the excellent Mac-only Delicious Library.

Anyway, I hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.

Windows Remote Desktop Support (in 2.9. really fine) + Question: Citrix

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

I am glad about the improvement of runrev 2.9 for Windows Remote Desktop 
Support. In previous versions the GUI (runrev IDE and standalone) had some 
errors (black areas) when used by remote access which is perfectly solvecd now 
in 2.9. When a runrev prog works in Germany, Czechia or Mexico and you sit 
somewhere between it is really important to log into the remote windows PC and 
can work with the runrev program (testing etc.).
This even works in Windows Terminal Server (tested) which is very important for 
some companies.
I did not test it, but because the Windows Terminal Server technique is somehow 
connected with Citrix I think that runrev would work in Citrix environments 
also (not tested).

Question: Did anyone test a runrev 2.9 prog in a Citrix environment?

Regards, Franz

how to for making a commercial library for runrev (barcode analysis)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello colleagues,

I have made a program in runrev which gets the jpg data of 5 scanservers with 
scanned labels and analyses the 2 to 4 barcodes 39. After a testing phase with 
permanent improvement it now works 8 hours a day connecting to 3-5 scanservers 
stable. The project was part of quality assurance in an industrial environment.
In another project (an older one) a runrev prog looks permanently to a 
directory where scanned images are stored by a scanner, and moves and analyses 
and comments on these images.
The barcode analysis is completely programmed in transcript (500-700 msec per 
scan with 4 to 30 captures of subareas of the image - black/white conversions 
with different filters and barcode analysis). The quality of the jpgs is 150 
dpi (normally 300 dpi is the starting point of doing barcode scans ...) where 
one small barcode line (one modul) is about one pixel - hard task, but there 
are millions of those jpgs a month and storage over years should not explode 
... 
A test for 128 barcode (possible only with higher resolution starting about 200 
dpi) had been successful, but was not finally needed for this project and must 
be improved for final application.

Now I think about making a commercial barcode analysis library for runrev.

Does there exist any standards how to make commercial libraries in runrev?
How to spread a password protected library stack in the community?

MCISendString

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I have a few customers who tell me the following function does not seem to
be working under Windows XP when they are using a built-in mic. They are
not able to record sound. Does this code need to be modified to specify the
device to record from or does it always record from the mic specified as
the default device in the "Sound and Audio Devices Properties" screen?

Thanks.

Re: httpproxy authentication & agent simulation

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Mark Smith

thank you very much for your tipp using HTTPHeaders for implementing another 
User-Agent! 

In the archives I found with the help of Mark Schonewille 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09789.html 
From: Dave Cragg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: HTTPProxy - authenticated proxy servers supported?
Date: 2003-08-21 09:33:29 

with information how to use proxy authentication. 

The solution in both cases uses HTTPHeaders. I try to set the HTTPHeaders to a 
multiline string
"User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 
1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)"
& cr &

& other Headerinformation 

Perhaps I can avoid the shell(Perl-journey) and stay in runrev even in this 
case. Thank you.

Nice day,

Franz

httpproxy authentication & agent simulation
Mark Smith mark at maseurope.net 
Wed Apr 16 13:12:36 CDT 2008 

Franz, you can spoof the user-agent using another httpHeader:

set the httpHeaders to "User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE  
6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)" --  
or somesuch, this will override the default user-agent.

I'm pretty sure you can do http authentication with a header too,  
using the "WWW-Authenticate:" header, but I'm not sure exactly what  
form it takes.

Hope this helps,

Mark

httpproxy authentication & agent simulation

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

1. 
I need fileupload from runrev via http using a proxy. This works with

on mouseUp
  answer file "Which file ... Welche Datei soll auf den Server geladen werden?"
  set httpproxy to "http://proxy:8080";
  put it into dateiname
  set the itemdelimiter to "/"
  put the last item of dateiname into shortname
  put dateiname && "wird aufgeladen ..." into field "protokoll"
  put libUrlMultipartFormData(tForm, "pdftitel", shortname,"submit","Datei auf 
Server hochladen!") into tData
set the httpheaders to line 1 of tForm
delete line 1 of tForm
put libUrlMultipartFormAddPart(tForm, "filename","" & dateiname, 
"multipart/form-data", "binary") into tData
put "http://htaccessusername:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/upload.cgi" into tURL
post tForm to url tUrl
set the htmltext of field "protokoll" to it
end mouseUp


2. But the proxy (http) needs 
a) authentication 
and perhaps
b) only allows Mozilla or IE compatible browsers for http access.

Now I have written a workaround in Perl:



 use LWP::UserAgent;
 my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
...
 $ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'], 'http://proxyusername:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/');
$ua->agent("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 
1.1.4322)");

...
which allows http-upload through a proxy with authentication and agent 
simulation.

3. Question

Is it possible to define httpproxy authentication & agent simulation? Then I 
must not use Perl for a workaround ...

Regards, 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

2.9 dp4 microsoft scripting (using word or excel)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello 

just tested the new 

do tvbscript as "vbscript"

syntax in 2.9 beta dp4 for writing from runrev into word. It workes fine.
local tVBScript
put "Dim Word" & return after tVBScript
put "Set Word = CreateObject(" & quote & "Word.Application" & quote & ")" & 
return after tVBScript
put "Word.Visible=1" & return after tVBScript
put "Word.Documents.Add()" & return after tVBScript
put "'Word.Selection.Font.Bold=" & quote & "1" & quote & return after tVBScript
put "Word.Selection.Font.Name=" & quote & "Arial" & quote & return after 
tVBScript
put "Word.Selection.TypeText(" & quote & "Hello Word" & quote & ")" & return 
after tVBScript
put "Word.Selection.InsertParagraph()" & return after tVBScript
put "Word.Selection.MoveDown()" & return after tVBScript
put "Word.Selection.InsertParagraph()" & return after tVBScript
put "Word.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(" & quote & "C:/newtest.doc" & quote & ")" & 
return after tVBScript
put tVBScript
do tVBScript as "vbscript"
-
Does anyone know a trick to use the Word-Object after the vbscript has ended 
and runrev got the result of vbscript? Could runrev get the Word-ID as result 
of the createobject syntax and use it later again? I assume this wouldn't be 
possible, but it would be fine if this could have be done.

The same can be used with excel if you transfer the attached perl program with 
the -> style into point notation as I did above with word

using PerlTk from runrev - does this work on mac?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

I have done a little stack which runs a perl script embedded as a custom 
property. This works for me on my win pcs and servers with perl installed and 
on the linux. Does this work on a modern mac (= do you have PerlTk normally on 
your macs?).
If it would work on mac too it would allow to extend runrev on any machine with 
the power of perl everytime we need it ...

you can

go stack URL "http://animabit.de/runrev/perl.rev"; 

or test it on your own:

[button]
on mouseUp 
  replace cr with empty in field "perl"
  put field "perl" into auftrag
  replace quote with ("\" & quote) in auftrag
  put "perl -e " & quote & auftrag & quote into auftrag
  set the hideConsoleWindows to true
  --answer auftrag
  put shell(auftrag) into field "ergebnis"
end mouseUp


[text of field "perl"]


use strict;use Tk;my $main = new MainWindow;
$main->Label(-text => "At the top (default)  \x{5DB}\x{5DC}\x{5DE}

runrev2web (learning from the toolbook experience)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello all,

some experiences from the toolbook scene to the posting of Andre Garcia and 
others concerning runrev2web: I came from toolbook (xtalk for windows only) to 
runrev where this happened some years ago.
Toolbook long ago splitted in two directions: traditional ui development in 
openscript (xtalk dialect) and web development,
with a template approach (you can define a book=stack as native or as DHTML and 
use predefined template books = stacks for webcourses) which can be converted 
automatically.
For a DHTML book you can use elements out of a catalogue (I understood Andre in 
this direction) which work both in toolbook native (called Actions Editor AE 
with a subset of javascript within toolbook) AND converted in HTML  (after a 
phase using java which was stopped) mostly for educational courses and 
instruction.

The consequences were in my opinion the splitting of the toolbook community in 
web authors using toolbook as template engine for making educational courses 
which look almost the same native and on the web, and the traditional users 
like me who made measurement programs and multimedia with toolbook. And the 
development of the application toolbook became slower and slower, only the 
DHTML approach was pushed  und just this year after some years of lament a 
32bit version has been published!

>From this historical experiences I would say: In my opinion metacard/runrev 
>has included all mechanisms for making a template approach to bring object 
>functionality even to the web when writing converters and generators.
There is a metacard-stack on the web which converts the ui into an xml-dump and 
restores from the xml building a new stack. In this direction I would see the 
best solution. One can program php or perl (server side)  or javascript (client 
side) for some extended objects and put it into custom properties in the runrev 
stack or better in a runrev library stack which during the conversion to web 
would replace the runrev transcript.

There even is the possibility to write generators who build the objects of a 
stack for different contexts (native,web,x3d as I did in my last project) and I 
would prefer if the community would define standards to use in library stacks 
for interoperability instead of forcing runrev to go into a direction I saw in 
the toolbook scene some years ago and do not want to suffer again.

My approach would look like this:

function newobject("button","Open","web")

function newobject objecttype,name,context
if context = "native" then
   if objecttype = "button"
   create button name
   -- or better: clone button "button1" of card "protoobjects" 
   -- with all functionality built in you need for this button
   set the topleft of button name to ...

   end if -- better of course condition ...
...
return objectid -- for addressing of the created object in runrev
end if

if context = "web" then
   if objecttype = "button"
  
   put the buttonwebtemplate of this stack into template
   replace "$buttonname" with name in template
   put template after the HTMLcode of this stack
   put the buttonphpfunctionalitytemplate of this stack into exportfile ...
   end if -- better of course condition ...
...
return objectid -- for usage and addressing in css
end if
if context = "x3d" then
   if objecttype = "button"
  
   put the buttonx3dtemplate of this stack into template
   replace "$buttonname" with name in template
   replace "DEF $objectid" with "DEF name ..." in template
   replace "$3dposition" with x y z in template ...
   put template after the x3dcode of this stack
   end if -- better of course condition ...
...
return objectid -- for usage in javascript for x3d
end if

end


and if someone likes to fake the modern point-notation just do:

get newobject ("stack.card.button","Franz","native")
get newobject ("document.form1.button","Send","web")
get newobject ("x3d.backgroundgroup.inline","christmastree","x3d")

Runrev using Perl

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi,

Last week I needed some functions runrev doesn't supply but Perl does. I am 
working on win and have ActivePerl or Sieperl installed on the PCs. Therefore I 
wrote a script, which dynamically runs a perl script from runrev.
Create a field "perl", put the perl prog in it, remove all comments = text in a 
line after # (or write the script for doing this).
Create a field "feedback".

Make a button with the script:

on mouseUp
  put field "perl" into perlprog
  replace cr with empty in perlprog
  put "perl -e " & quote & perlprog & quote into cmdstring
  set the hideconsolewindows to true
  put shell(cmdstring) into field "feedback"
end mouseUp


I tested it with some normal scripts (the result of the script will be 
expressed in field "feedback").
This allows using Perl modules as extensions of runrev.
You can of course run any perl script from runrev in a file (the normal way) 
with 
  shell("perl " & fileloc)

Second I tested (on win) some GUI-Skripts in Perl using PerlTk:


use Tk;
my $meinFenster = MainWindow->new; 
$meinFenster->Label( -text=>"Servus" )->pack; 
$meinFenster->Button(-text => "Schluss", -command => [$meinFenster => 
'destroy'] )->pack; 
MainLoop; 

On Win and Linux this creates a small GUI window. On Mac there normally is no 
PerlTk implementation - you have to install it on your own if you need. Tk 
allows to offer an interface for configuration of parameters of the perl script 
during runtime.

I will put this info on my (still rudimentary) runrev web pages at 
http://animabit.de/runrev

Great!
It reminds me of a report many years ago in MacFormat Magazine.
It went something ike this; The MS team had worked for months on the 
development of a new Handwriting  Recognition software. Satisfied with their 
efforts they proudly presented it to Mr W.Gates who immediately tried it, by 
writing a phrase, and got no results!
The developers had forgotten that their boss is left handed!!

ADDENDUM
 My belated apologies for not thanking those who offered comments to my post on

Thank you all for being 'out there'.

Re-2: Umlaut - set the unicodetext of field 1 to numtochar(68) & numtochar(1)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello 
to the multilingual crowd hoping for runrev becoming 100 % unicode compliant. 
Yesterday I downloaded the new java netbeans IDE of sun and enjoyed it to be 
100% unicode - the same VB.Net Express Edition I hope to enjoy this in 
runrev too in the near future.
We can not type the letter you wish directly in a runrev field, but we can use 
a wrapper (I hope this might help in the case you need it):
set the unicodetext of field 1 to numtochar(68) & numtochar(1)
This puts the unicode letter into the field.
use the following script to replace ´n to n with akut
put the unicodetext of field 1 into zeile
-- for getting the values:
--put chartonum(char 1 of the unicodetext of field 1) 
--put chartonum(char 1 of the unicodetext of field 1) 
-- these are the two byte of letter 1 of the field 1
replace (numtochar(180) & numtochar(0) & numtochar(110) & numtochar(0)) with 
numtochar(68) & numtochar(1) in zeile
set the unicodetext of field 1 to zeile
This puts n into field 1 (just tested)
1. runrev seems not to be able to display letters and unicode diacritics 
(=2byte letter and 2 byte combining diacritical letter) together but can handle 
combined letters (2bytes) in the unicode standard with unicode fonts. I opened 
charmap.exe on win, searched for n (U-0144: Kleiner lateinischer Buchstabe N 
mit Akut) and copied it. Now it is important: If I copy this direct into runrev 
it fails. But if I copy it in notepad and from notepad into a field in runrev 
it is correct. I do not know why. The same is the case if I copy arabic, syriac 
etc. text from a webpage: After copiing it into notepad I can copy anything 
into a runrev field but not directly. Why?
2. You can create any letter in the unicode standard if you know the low byte 
and the high byte it exists of: 
n with akut for example is in the unicodestandard u-0144 hex
open your calc.exe in extended view, set to hex and put 44, change to decimal 
view and you will find 68, do the same with 01 which of course will be 01.
44 hex = 68 dezimal
01 hex = 01 dezimal
this means:
set the unicodetext of field 1 to numtochar(68) & numtochar(1)
creates this letter.
Hebrew Aleph is u-05d0
05 hex = 05 dec
c0 hex = 208 dec
set the unicodetext of field 1 to numtochar(208) & numtochar(5)& numtochar(209) 
& numtochar(5)
creates aleph and beth (but wrongly displays beth aleph according to the hebrew 
rtl direction).


Good luck

Re-2: Umlaut

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi Mark,

you are right - I am wrong. In a runrev textfield it is not possible to combine 
the characters you were talking about as you can in notepad on win too. I did 
it in notepad and pasted it (and even this did only work in half the cases).
Perhaps it would the best for runrev they would rework the textfield unicode 
functions and starting also removing the righttoleft bugs in the textfields for 
arabic,syriac and hebrew.

Copy the syriac phrase  in a runrev textfield => 
(if the syriac text is sent by the mailinglist ...)

Hi Franz,

00f1 is a single character. We were trying to figure out whether 
Revolution is able to combine a character with the combining diaresis cc88. In 
other words, we want to display two different characters in 
one position, which e.g. Apple's TextEdit is able to do, but 
Revolution isn't.

Mark you are wrong I think.
copy this to a runrev field: np
nnñ

For finding the chars and their unicode number please run on win the progs
charmap.exe in extended view. Search the letter n with ~ or with trema as you 
like and try the different fonts you have.
U+00F1 (latin n with tilde or some of the others) can be used in 
Arial,Verdana,Times NR etc. on win,
I do not know the way to do the same on mac.

Amazing Grace

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Checking my email today after recently signing up for some of the Yahoo! Rev 
users mailing lists I found 131 spams although that mail server has been free 
from spam for years due to my careful deployment. Being on Yahoo in this case I 
had no choice but to divulge it.

I am not blaming those Lists (or Richmond) for this - I expected it and luckily 
they all go directly into the bin.

However, a solitary one got passed that system and nearly had me fooled for a 
few seconds. It was from a supposedly named REV SISTER GRACE, yes you've 
guessed, a Nigerian nun who, calmly blessing me, asked for my bank and personal 
identity info to trasfer my latest inheritance!

I just can't decide if it was a coincidence or not but it certainly avoided 
Yahoo!s filters.

All the best and watch out for this saintly soul,
Barry

Re: Trapping for the Return Key on keypad of a Windows machine

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I suggest you can use: rawkeydown or rawkeyup

on rawKeyDown theKeyNumber
if theKeyNumber is 65308 then increaseScroll -- mouse wheel down
pass rawKeyDown -- if the key should have further effects. For blocking the key 
comment this line.
else if theKeyNumber is 65309 then decreaseScroll -- mouse wheel up
else pass rawKeyDown -- don't forget this for all other keys!
end rawKeyDown
every 

--
if you pass rawkeydown the signal of the pushed key is send further in the 
hierarchy. If you do not pass the key has no further effect and is blocked. 
Every key on the keypad has its own rawkey

For checking the option keys (shift, alt, control) use 
optionkey, shiftkey etc. (see docu)

The rawkey is the same if the user has made the choice of a different language 
(english or german or ...) => the "rawkey" of "ä"-key on a german keyboard is 
the same when used an english keyboard layout but the "keydown" key is 
dependent on the language and the pressed optionkeys (shift ...).

Test also:
on returnKey -- go to the next card when the user presses return
-- do
end returnKey

Thank you for your suggestions.  I have a Mac, and own Flash too.
Xara is Windows only, but I'm sure others will find it useful.
I have just never worked with Flash before.  I guess I finally

Re: help with a multi process http server.

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi Andre,

I hope I understood you correctly:

did you try the old  tag?

If you use in the header of the first html file:


http://server2.com:";>
  


all will be loaded from the server2 at port .
A declaration like

will become like
http://server2.com:/src/logo.gif";>.

 
If you put in ANY html page delivered from your servers

http://schedulerserver.com";>
  


all requests will be loaded from schedulerserver.com at port 80 even if the 
parent page was delivered from another server.


Even in the old days of HTML one could send a  tag in the head of 
the html-file and all the following relational links have been calculated in 
the browsers according to this base. I think this works in all browsers on the 
market.
If you have a php or shtml generated index file on the main server which sends 
a first html page with such a base href tag, the browsers will connect to the 
declared server for downloading and so on - you do not need to parse any pages, 
the relational base mechanism makes the rest.
  
Even the favicon can be declared explicitely:
compare 
http://www.selfhtml.org/
http://de.selfhtml.org/navigation/suche/index.htm?Suchanfrage=base+href
there might be english versions also


and any stuff comes from the second server ...

Re: SFTP

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

I once had to make a solution in ssh putting generated data from one server to 
another using ssh (about 2002).
We used a win server and had to connect to a linux server.
This solution works with any win client and a server with openssh or another 
ssh solution able to use ppk files and was last tested about 2 years ago. 
Perhaps the security standards concerning ssh have changed ... 

We used the putty programs
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
PSFTP (an SFTP client
you can use by the commandline (shell) with batchfiles

steps:
0. create a security key using PuTTYgen (an RSA and DSA key generation utility) 
and put it on the sftp-server for authentication. Make one connection with 
psftp to this server by hand and approve the first time the feeddback question 
concerning the connection "Do you know the server xyz.target.com and approve 
...". Than this ssh-connection can be further used in batchprocesses also.
1. write a batchfile out of runrev 
2. write a commandfile out of runrev with the commands in f.e. 
"c:\batchparameter.txt"
(f.e. 
"
cd client
cd year2007
put fileA.txt
get filefromServerA
put xyzA.pdf" like you would do with any oldfashioned commandline ftp-client).

3. run this batchfile using the shell command (blocking) or the launch command 
or shell("start " & batchfile) (nonblocking).

shell("psftp -batch -bc -b c:\batchparameter.txt -P 1234 -i 
c:\admin\ssh\dsa.ppk [EMAIL PROTECTED]")

Somewhat tricky but when properly set up working very stable. And you can use 
the commandline (shell) from any program which needs to connect to the server 
by ssh using port 1234.

Andre,

Ouch!!!

As a Macintosh Repair guy, what you're telling me isn't sounding good.
Don't mess with your drive anymore as you could cause yet even more
damage to the platters.

You really don't want to be messing with drive platters yourself.
Send it into a professional with a "Clean Room" like
"Drive Saver's".  They also have very professional disk tools etc.

http://www.drivesavers.com/

It can be pricey, but then so is all of that time that you have
invested in all of the software that you have developed.
Which is irreplaceable. 

If you send your unit into Apple, Inc. they probably will not
try at all to recover your data, but you will get a replacement
MacBook since it is probably still under warranty.

Good Luck!

runrev export to pdf

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi,

I once downloaded the metacard stack
vector2pdf_v02b.mc
of Alejandro Tejada
http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2004-August/041884.html
with the function vector2pdf.

The pdf result did not fully load in my recent tests.

The link
http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/vector2pdf_v02b.zip
does not work anymore.

My question: Did Alejandro or anyone else continue working in pdf export from 
metacard or runrev? Any pdf lib abailable?

Regards
Franz Böhmisch

Re: Unicode text for buttons, etc

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Carly J. Born,

1) you can use unicode in runrev. Please search the docu for "unicode*" and 
read the info about uniDecode,uniEncode,useunicode,UTF8,UTF16 etc.
2) on win I can use any language if I select the language on the system bar for 
fonts and languages or use the "charmap" (just execute "cmd" and "charmap") 
with the extended view "unicode groups" and copy it directly in the textfield, 
which must be set to a unicode font! (Arial, Times New Roman, Tahoma, and I 
think Verdana for the most languages)
3) the rtl-properties of runrev are broken: the direction of words is always 
from left to right. If you have installed rtl-support on the windows 
system(support for oriental languages in the system properties) than runrev 
shows the direction of the letters within the word correct (this problem is for 
all programs on win machines except the iebrowser, firefox etc. and winword 
which use their own rtl-modules)

=> unicode in languages which go from left to right are no problem in runrev, 
the others you have to convert/reverse/fake ...

regards,
Franz

Re: Touchscreen Hardware

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi Dave,

we used Touchscreen Hardware with toolbook and vb.
Any Touchscreen driver I know maps the touch of the user on the screen to the 
mouse signal of the OS
=> the touch is like the click of the mouse (mousedown mouseup xpos and ypos) 
and your runrev program gets the signal like any mousesignal - this is my 
experience. In most cases you can use the touchscreen and the mouse simulaneous 
(but of course the last used gets the control).

You just have to be careful about the accuracy of the users in clicking  ( a 
tolerance of 30 pixel min in x and y direction should be handled through your 
program or the objects to touch on the screen (buttons ...) should be bigger 
than normal.

Avoid to hyperlink small chunks of text as link in fields - very hard to use on 
touchscreens.

Another question concerning UTF8:

Re-2: Importing Cyrillic Text

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi

Save any language text in UTF8:
put uniDecode(unicodetext of field "bibeltext","UTF8") into URL 
"file:C:/test.txt"

Load any language text from a file encoded in UTF8 to a runrev field:
set the unicodetext of  field "bibeltext" to uniEncode(URL 
"file:C:/test.txt","UTF8") 

Save any language text from a field to a html-page for viewing in a browser 
works even with hebrew and arabic texts runrev cannot display correct but 
encodes internally correctly.

put htmltext of field "bibeltext" into URL "file:C:/test.html"

This should function in most cases

Hello,

Working on windows.
The function "put driverNames" is not usable on windows.

Perhaps there is a solution for runrev on windows with the open driver syntax, 
but where can I get the driver name from?

Re-4: USB/Serial issue + parallel

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Sarah,

Thank you for the info: your statement was very helpful and made the point 
clear to me.
I have to use the shell as you suggested.

The measurement process can be used very simple in runrev:

(put text of field "commands_machine_xyz" to the initcommands of this stack)
open file "COM1:"
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of the initcommands of this stack 
write line x of the initcommands of this stack & crlf to file "COM1:"
wait 10 milliseconds
read from file "COM1:" until Lfput
 it into result[x]
end repeat
close file "COM1:"

The next point I have to check in runrev is to use the parallel port with 
measurement equipment and controllers. The first trial was to connect pin 11 
and 25 of the parallel cable as switch and get the signal - but I had no access 
yet.

open file "LPT1:"
read from file "LPT" until EOF

In C or Pascal you can directly access the ports where the parallel interface 
stores the data - any experience whether I can do such things native in runrev?

Re: Stupid Programming Challenge (Barry Barber)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello again,
Seeing as all the experts are now agreed on the script for a proportional thumb 
on a scrollbar, may I ask a stupid beginners question?

Why did Scott Rossi use a separate scrollbar and routine?
I thought the method was to click the 'Vertical scrollbar' box in the Basic 
properties of the Group "master".
 When I did this I got a proportional scrollbar which scrolled to end of the 
list without scriptng anything - of which I am not yet capable, anyway!.;-(

Of course there will be some technical reason which I will not understand but 
would love to know.

Re-2: USB/Serial issue (FTDI EasySync)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

I am writing a program in runrev communicating with an acoustic analyser via 
RS232 (functions properly) and now work in
communicating to a USB relais for regulating the dc in the object we make the 
measurement on.
After reading this message and the docu I am not sure: Can I use USB universal 
serial bus in runrev or not?
The SDKs (dlls, C,C++ and Visual Basic) normally offered with the hardware I 
cannot use in runrev native.
Should I write a Visual Basic wrapper to communicate using the shell?

Any ideas and suggestions?

The result was a little stack for trying out the possibilities discussed (I

(Don't know how to link you to it from here - user name BarryB)

Although I am sure it will be of no interest to those who took part in the 
discussion,I thought it might be to any other beginners in Revolution who maybe

 Oh! if someone can tell me how to reset the scrollbar on a text field to the

Thanks Klausss (sorry Klaus, I just couldn't resist it!) for the input.
I was surprised to see it was the CEO! I was almost sure it would be a kid who

Anyway I saw Mr. Miller had a post on another Theme, just after ours on the 
same date, maybe he's still trying to work out what happened himself.
Havn't been able to repeat the incident and as Runtime are gracefully giving me 
the new update free (Just in time - I bought my  Media 2.7.2. in August about 
three days before 2.7.3 was released),I can probably forget about it.
Oh! I should have said it was the 'CANC' KEY not a button.

But my favourite is a townlet near here in Northen Italy which the Romans knew 
by the lovely name of Argentia which makes you think of something silver.
In the 16th century it was changed to Gorgonzola!
As Shakespeare once wrote (I think) "A 'cheese' by any other name would smell 
as sweet"

Oh! the adds at the bottom of my posts are not mine, that comes from using a 
free email provider and I didn't know until I saw it here.

Works OK on an XP.HE box. Revolution Media 2.7.2
Also in "Edit tool" mode which makes it difficult to resize the button!

Yours,

Any proud owner of a Revolution licence with a bright idea will be trying to 
develop it alone, not farming it out to a group of developers at the cost of 
85% of eventual sales profit.

I thought the same as Chipp, (who preceded me), its the eliminated projects 
that are going to be the organizer's pay off!
This is known in Italy as "Putting out mirrors for nightingales" ---  a 
hunter's decoy trick for shooting down attracted birds. Good try though.

Killer ap commits suicide!

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I am still building my first stack in Revolution Media 2.7.2. on XP.
I have a problem (understatement!): on trying to insert a Rev icon into a card, 
I inadvertantly changed the SHAPE of the Stack!
Now it can  only be seen through a "keyhole" in the form of an R about half an 
inch high and I can't for the life of me change it
back to the original fullscreen view.

The Inspector shows that all cards, objects etc., are still present.
Of course, I could restart from an earlier backup but this happened in a 
working session where I had made a lot of progress.
I enjoy reading the answers to others on this list but maybe I should spend 
some of that time to Read The Manual!

Obvious last line :- Will some kind person please explain the solution to my 
problem?

Thanks in advance,
Barry Barber
