exporting images in RTF from runrev
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

to do my own research? Would sure appreciate any tips you may have.
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
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.

Re: building a installer with rev
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.

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.

Re: stack design with externals?
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.

Re-4: persistent objects in runrev (howto)
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.

Re: persistent objects in runrev (howto)
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-2: persistent objects in runrev (howto)
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); Regards, Franz Original Messageprocessed by David InfoCenter Subject: Re: persistent objects in runrev (howto) (13-Okt-2008 18:16) From:Ken Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This allows me to use stacks and any copy object from stack to stack command without hesitating about the password protection of the stack.

function binaryDecode within a function ...
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.

menus and shortcuts
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 (Cut/X (Copy/C (Paste/V (Clear - (Preferences Learned a lot of your comments Mark!

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

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.

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

Re-4: using an ActiveX (twiz32.ocx) from runrev by vbs
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:
!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//IETF//DTD HTML//EN
html
head
titleScannen/title
BODY onLoad=scanner.CurrentSource='2';scanner.ShowUI
='False';scanner.Units='2';scanner.Resolution =
'150';scanner.ImageLeft='0';scanner.ImageRight='4';scanner.ImageBottom='4';scanner.AcquireToFile('test.jpg');
object ID=scanner
CLASSID=CLSID:A96AC4E0-6EBF-11D0-AA7C-00608CC9A71F
/object
/body
/html
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

hta for using ocx in runrev
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 ;-) Regards Mit freundlichen Grüßen Franz Böhmisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.animabit.de GF Animabit Multimedia Software GmbH Am Sonnenhang 22 D-94136 Thyrnau Tel +49 (0)8501-8538 Fax +49 (0)8501-8537 ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
using an ActiveX (twiz32.ocx) from runrev by vbs
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)

Hi Mark,
of course you are right - I cannot Form like in vb6 and dont try this. I just
tried
scanner = CreateObject(Twizlib.Twiz)
scanner.AutoFeeder = True
scanner.MaxImages = 3
scanner.ShowUI = False

scanner.AcquireToFile(c:\test.jpg)
I will test your suggestion:
SET scanner = createObject(TwizLib.Twiz)
this might be a starting point. Thanks!

Hi Franz,
I don't think you can use sub routines in the do command. Each time
when you call form_load, you'll probably have to rewrite the entire
function verbose.
Sometimes, I have to experiment a bit with the createObject function
to make it work. For example, adding set' in front of the scanner
variable might work:
set scanner = createObject(TwizLib.Twiz)

re. Repeat structure
Context: 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? 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 ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

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?

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

Re: scanners and Rev
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 http.

Re-2: Removing CRLF from text
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).

waiting time of shell()
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 Mit freundlichen Grüßen Franz Böhmisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.animabit.de GF Animabit Multimedia Software GmbH Am Sonnenhang 22 D-94136 Thyrnau Tel +49 (0)8501-8538 Fax +49 (0)8501-8537 ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Thank you.
I got this advice using open process almost simultaneousely from the both

Mark Schonewille added I should implement in runrev the protocol with an
authenticated proxy instead of using shell - I tried but only had success in
perl.
I wrote this perl script, put it into a custom prop and replaced the $variables
with the runrev variables with the same name before running it with perl -e.

read from process perlupload until empty
put it into tResponse

put it into tResponse

Re: how to for making a commercial library for runrev (barcode analysis)
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 Regards Mit freundlichen Grüßen Franz Böhmisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.animabit.de GF Animabit Multimedia Software GmbH Am Sonnenhang 22 D-94136 Thyrnau Tel +49 (0)8501-8538 Fax +49 (0)8501-8537 how to for making a commercial library for runrev (barcode analysis) Jan Schenkel janschenkel at yahoo.com Wed Jul 2 08:22:33 CDT 2008 Previous message: AW: how to for making a commercial library for runrev (barcode analysis) Next message: the Rev Kagi-KRM?

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.

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

Re: Learn Programming in 1 Day
hello, any plan to sell later that DVD and screen captures later? I'm 10.000 km away and didn't start to play with revolution, but your DVD will help me to decide. Thanks Jose The Day One Pass previously offered just to people who purchased the RevSelect bundle is now available to everyone. People who attend will begin with a blank slate and by the end of the day will produce a fully operational standalone application that works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. The courses build on each other and follow a progression: - Revolution fundamentals - Important scripting concepts - Manipulating text and data - Working with the file system - Orchestrating multimedia content - Exchanging data over the Internet - Lightning-fast database processing - Migrating from HyperCard - Building a standalone executable Not only that, but those who order before March 31 will receive a free copy of the conference DVD, which contains all the sessions from the conference, all the sample stacks, etc. (It does not include the non-disclosure day, though.) In other words, you'll get an intensive day of instruction presented by the best and brightest people in the community (people who have been helping out on this list for YEARS). As the mailer states, this is a great opportunity to achieve liftoff for programming. Because not only do you get the in-person training, but you also get a DVD you can take home and review what you learned on that day... PLUS ALL THE OTHER SESSIONS held during the conference. That's an incredible amount of content... a great value. Anyone who is interested in better comprehension of Revolution will benefit immensley. As stated by others, learning is not mastery -- if there is such a thing. Learning hopefully is a lifelong process. We don't promise that you will be able to single-handedly build an Office Suite at the end of the day. We do promise that you will acquire the experience you need to begin using Revolution effectively. I think the content of the mailer elaborates on this clearly. To the extent the subject line of the email is slightly provocative/controversial and got people to open it to learn more, I'm not apologetic. :) Having said that, I also think it's accurate and if what you're doing there is not learning I don't know what is! - Bill ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

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?
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;
$main-Label(-text = At the top (default) \x{5DB}\x{5DC}\x{5DE}
\x{fe95}\x{fe95})-pack;$main-Label(-text = 'At the
bottom')-pack(-side = 'bottom');$main-Label(-text = 'The middle
remains')-pack;my $top1 = $main-Toplevel;$top1-Label(-text
= 'Left')-pack(-side = 'left');$top1-Label(-text =

runrev2web (learning from the toolbook experience)
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) Regards Mit freundlichen Grüßen Franz Böhmisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.animabit.de GF Animabit Multimedia Software GmbH Am Sonnenhang 22 D-94136 Thyrnau Tel +49 (0)8501-8538 Fax +49 (0)8501-8537 To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Runrev using Perl
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 Regards, Franz Mit freundlichen Grüßen Franz Böhmisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.animabit.de GF Animabit Multimedia Software GmbH Am Sonnenhang 22 D-94136 Thyrnau Tel +49 (0)8501-8538 Fax +49 (0)8501-8537 To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

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

Re: Umlaut
Hello The ability to display combined unicode characters depends on the text engine used by the software. Revolution's text engine is much oder than the invention of combining diaresis. There is a slight possibility that I am wrong, but I don't think that Revolution is able to display combining diaresis in text fields. 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.

Re-2: Umlaut
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 ...)

A declaration like img src=/src/logo.gif will become like img src=http://server2.com:/src/logo.gif;. If you put in ANY html page delivered from your servers head base href=http://schedulerserver.com; !-- ... ... -- /head 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 base href 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 ... http://de.selfhtml.org/html/kopfdaten/beziehungen.htm#quellen favicon in line 4 of the header: head !-- ... andere Angaben im Dateikopf ... -- link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=../../src/selfhtml.css link rel=shortcut icon type=image/x-icon href=/src/favicon.ico link rel=author title=Impressum href=../../editorial/impressum.htm link rel=contents title=Inhaltsverzeichnis href=../../navigation/inhalt.htm link rel=index title=Stichwortverzeichnis href=../../navigation/stichwort.htm link rel=search title=Suche href=../../navigation/suche/index.htm link rel=help title=Hilfe href=../../editorial/index.htm link rel=copyright title=Urheberrecht href=../../editorial/copyright.htm link rel=top title=SELFHTML href=../../index.htm link rel=up title=HTML-Kopfdaten href=index.htm link rel=next title=Durchsuchbarkeit mit Server-Kommunikation href=durchsuchbarkeit.htm link rel=prev title=Adressbasis und Zielfensterbasis href=basis.htm link rel=first title=Titel einer HTML-Datei href=titel.htm link rel=last title=Durchsuchbarkeit mit Server-Kommunikation href=durchsuchbarkeit.htm /head Regards, Franz Mit freundlichen Grüßen Franz Böhmisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.animabit.de GF Animabit Multimedia Software GmbH Am Sonnenhang 22 D-94136 Thyrnau Tel +49 (0)8501-8538 Fax +49 (0)8501-8537 ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: SFTP
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.

Re: OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
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!

Hello Carly J. Born, 1) you can use unicode in runrev.

Re: Touchscreen Hardware
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.

Hi I use to write/read string through the USB Port using a FTDI device. It seems to me that the serial port write/read commands does not work as it should. a) write to USB open driver name for binary update write var to driver name (read from driver name until empty) close driver name To trigger physically the write data, (so that the chars are electrically sent through the port) I have to follow the write command with a read statement, which is definitely a wrong praxis. Why? Should the var end with a special char to trigger electrically the send command? b) read from USB open driver name for binary update read from driver name until empty close driver name When the string sent to the USB device from the external device is less than 32 chars, then read is returning the whole string. If the string contents more than 32 chars, the first 32 chars are swallowed by revolution and does not appear on the read result. However in some obscure circumstances, which relates to the timing between the time the string is send from the external device and the time the request is send from revolution to read, the hole string is passed to the read result. Does anyone have an idea about this strange but very annoying behavior. OSX ahall have a clean serial port management. I use Mac OSX and 2.7.3. Using a Mac with OS9, HC and the commconnect serial XCMD, the transmission of data to the usb device works perfectly. I use the Rev serial commands with an FTDI EasySync adapter all the time and it works very well. Do you have the latest drivers from FTDI? (They now have universal binaries for Intel as well as PPC Macs). What sort of device are you communicating with? Are the serial parameters set up correctly for this device? My uses don't echo back what is sent, but send a result in response to a command, but I have never seen any problems sending without a receive. If you like to send me an example of your scripts off-list, I'd be happy to have a look and see if I can work out what is going wrong.

RE- My Dream App.
Yesterday Chipp Walters wrote: Mark, Good link. Interesting idea. Double negative withstanding, I'm not sure if they're not the latest Peter Minuit, trading a few Apple trinkets for the next 'Killer App'. http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_156.html That said, the winner does get 15%, which is fine. But my guess is the real value is in all the apps voted on which _DON'T_ win. I wonder ifit's even possible to protect that sort of intellectual property? Chipp - 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!
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?

Re: how the internet works : the official explanation
The pigeon - airplane metaphore was certainly well contrived by Andre but care should be taken in copying it literally (n.b. Peter and Dan). Pigeons CANNOT make round trips or even deliver outgoing messages! If you want one to carry a message you must first take the bird to the starting point (probably by plane), attach the message and then send it home (hence the name 'homing pigeon'). That is: only the owner of the pigeon can receive a message carried by it and if they try to send OUT a message the bird will just fly in circles with it around their own house! Internet-wise this would be like taking a blank message by hand, or snailmail, to a friend and waiting for them fill it in and send it back by email! As for the Senators discorse I can only add the Italian Parliament Member's declaration that internet should be taught in schools, whatever that means, anyway most teachers would probably have to learn from the students! Every Government should carry a Health Warning OK, I'm rambling again.

Re: how the internet works : the official explanation
Sorry Andre , Having initially noticed your caveat about super intelligence, I decided not to write about the pigeons but the next day I'd forgotten that and I wrote it. Anyway I think people who do not understand pigeon behaviour and might take your ideas too seriously should be glad of your explanation. Your answer just shows that you are much funnier than I realized! Hope we don't get a tutorial from Dan explaining how to programme pigeons!
