Bob Bonsoir Bob, Le 18 déc. 08 à 19:01, Bob Sneidar a écrit : Awesome Eric. Now you have gotten me halfway through my problem I wonder if I could enquire if you or anyone has come up with a good search form? I am looking for something along the lines of a form where I start with a single query, but can add further conditions if necessary. ListMagic is provided with a built-in search tool that searches for any string and even, in carousel through multiple widgets on the same card. But you may write your own tool and override ListMagic one easily: see the docs. A query line would contain a popup menu for a column name, a popup for a comparison (is, is not, contains, does not contain etc.), and the text to search for. What it would return is a properly formatted SQL query. I was going to write it myself, and may still do so, but what I had in mind was not going to be very portable. As you guessed it, perfectionism can be counter-productive :-) And I wanted this widget easy to use, even for beginners. Nevertheless concerning contextual menus in the list field itself or the header: you can modify, enhance them as you desire: see ListMagic FAQ for more information.

Re: Linux Distro choices [was: Ubuntu...etc]
Peter Alcibiades wrote: Of course its a thorny issue, and it depends what you want, who you are, and what your machine is. I don't think you lose anything by moving from Ubuntu. Like many other long term Linux users, I'm a bit baffled by its popularity. I totally agree with what Peter has written. However, I have a couple of chip in's. I too never understood the popularity of Ubuntu. On old machines try Zenwalk (slackware based and uses Xfce). If this is still too slow, try a minimal Debian with fluxbox as the WM. If this is too slow, Puppy. On older machines or even new one's where you want speed try Vectorlinux. A new V 6 is out soon. If you want to learn, really learn, Linux, but do not have unlimited time and energy to do it (if you do, Linux from Scratch is the one), get Slackware and study the user guide. Vector is Slacky based If you are an active user, but don't like the command line, and speed of machine is not an issue, Mandriva. If you can manage with the slightly reduced package selection in its repositories, PCLinux is also a sensible choice. Mandriva is larger and better resourced, PCL is a bit of a one man band, but a very good community. Its derived from Mandriva. But be prepared in both cases to do a new install when you want to upgrade, which will probably be every couple of years or so. Do not install Mandriva 2009 if you want to use KDE. In that case use 2008.1 And use the ONE version, not the FREE version. if you download flv's from youtube (I do) then 2008.1 with KDE and Kaffeine is ideal. I moved to 2009 and kaffeine is sound only. Need to sort that one. If you want to your base machine on 2009 then use nxserver and SSH. Indeed when you get more proficient you will end up getting your desktop via NXclient-server rather than the normal way (long story). Another alternative (and slightly behind the times in kernel etc) is Xandros. It just works out of the box for... well just about everythign. But you got to pay. For them, Mandriva or PCL will be a lot better. You should use the 386 not the 64 bit version of Debian, unless you really need to address the extra memory. PCLinuxOS is very good indeed. My own strategy with Debian has been, stay with Stable until Testing has been in the field for a year or so, and is on RC1 or RC2. Then move to Testing. I've had some problems however lately installing the latest build of Lenny, which suggest rather that the smart thing is probably to stay with Stable all the time. I used to install Mandriva for naive users because it was easier to administer, but then discovered that administering it was the last thing they had in mind! Mandriva can be a pain when you get tinto the nuitty gritty, but out of the box on this corporate network... It detected everything out of the box (or should that be CD). Much easier that windows. PS I'm not slagging windows. Unlike many Linux users I think windows is a good OS. Its hard to judge from people's posts, so it would be a hard choice, but tentatively, for you, I'd go to Mandriva One 2008.1, KDE version. Or PCL. You can try Mandriva out as a live CD first. But in the end, for the committed, Debian is where we end up, and if you stick with Linux, you'll end up there too. Its just a question of when. One day you wake up, look at your machine, and you know this is the time to go to Debian. Debian or Mandriva will do equally well on laptops. I aggree. One thing about Ubuntu. As it tries to become a jack of all trades it is becoming slower. I see that Vector LInux 6 has a new setup and new wifi setup. (wifi drove me away from it to Xandros back in the old days) so give it a try. It is really fast. If it don't work then try Mandriva.

Re: Standalone problems
You wrote: Hi Bob, Hi Mark Before you report to Bugzilla, you need to find the cause of the problem, if you can. Could you tell us what exactly is going on? Do you tell the Standalone Builder to search for inclusions or do you do this manually? Do you have any passwords set? Which dll do you need? Do you get any error messages or strange behaviour while building the standalone? I have an app that reads xml data into fields. Everything works perfectly in the IDE. If I use search for inclusions it copies the revdb.dll into the folder, however, the app uses xml data so It should have the revxml.dll. Now if I change it to select inclusions manually and tick various script liraries, nothing is copied across and my app does not work compilled. It wont import the xml data. When I manually copy the revxml.dll to the externals folder in the app root it wont work either in compilled mode. I've been strugling with this for a over a week and my potential customers are getting fed up. :-( PS; I've downloaded Ken's xml lib but it would require a rewrite of the app. Mind you it may be quicker to just do this.

I'm using rev 2.7 latest version and when I compile I have an extensions folder but there is no revxml.dll? I have set the standalone settings to search for inclusions, and also tried manually including the xml and xmlrpc files, but nothing is in the extensions folder or the root folder of the app. I even tried copying the old revxml.dll over but this does not work.

Thsi was how the firefox porting project was funded for RISC OS http://www.riscos.info/unix/firefox/ there used to be a UNIX porting project that was a subscription based system to port UNIX aps (well develop a X11 lib) to RISC OS.

Re: Revolution friendly virtual desktop managers. WinXP
You wrote: Bob: Hi Jon If these desktop managers work for everything BUT Rev, does that say something? Well not exactly, they also dont always work with GIMP. However The one I am using seems to be OK-ish now. There must have been a conflict with another app. Mind you still not as good as the RISC OS implementation. I'm always annoyed when I alttab away from Rev and then try to alttab back, only to discover that 1) most of the Rev windows remain hidden, and 2) the Rev window that does appear is rarely the one I was using most recently. I then have to manually start hiding windows until I can work in Rev again. I do have slight annoyances, not with this particular scenario but others, however, this is only because I have multiple instances of rev running. Just my preference, and indeed there are benefits to not do this, stack swapping being one particular example. To be honest, I would be hard pressed to write such a mis-behaving program in Windows if I were trying to. Well all my questions can be answered with virtual desktops. Perhaps it is because my original computing environment was so lean in memory useage (Easiwriter reads/writes word2003 and is only 800K) that I grew up on a system with 2-3 monitors or 6-9 virtual desktops. I habe now been incluined to go to the virtual desktop route again and am instantly more productive. But really I'm pretty laid back about things, and actually only interested in a virtual desktop manager. :-) As for rev being poorly written, well I think it is actually marvelous. It has its problems but so do other things. Probably from a Pro point of view it may be slightly irritating when seing all these windows; however, from my point of view, I actually love the ease of writing transcript and I'm not annoyed by the IDE. Perhaps another approach would be to lobby Rev to try to make the entire IDE more friendly in this particular regard. Considering the amount of money they make in comparison to Microsoft, perhaps I should lobby MS to get virtual desktops implemented. Anyway: Every cloud has a silver lining.

Runrev to PDAT palm databases
Hi All. I have a wee app for you all. It is a wee database designer that I made for people on the PDAtoolbox forum. A lot of the code needs cleaned up and shortened and indeed put into the main stack and declared, however, for newbies it is probably better as it is, in it's raw state. see www.pdatnutsandbolts.com for what PDAToolbox is. The app is usefull for newbies wanting to learn how to copy fields, rename them etc. The is also a font changer to make labels. This shows how the enduser without runrev can change things like label text etc. It also shows how to communicate via the shell (never did get dynamic paths sorted) to make a PalmOS PDAT database file IE a PDB via an external app. Hope you find it useful. It is a free app. You can do what you like with it. You can nick the code etc. Naturaly you should include a suitable citation if you use it in an app. It is windows only for converting to PDAToolbox, however if you only want a look at a wee desktop database designer then it is naturally usefull for all. Anyway, I'm off to do the garden. :-) There is a wee manual on the site below. http://www.armbase.com/Untitled_2.html You can get the app from http://www.armbase.com/Untitled_2/ABsource.zip Cheers Bob ___ 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: Why I won't buy an A9Home . . . On Topic!
You wrote: HI Richmond As my first PC (as in Personal Computer - rather than clunking along on some terminal with somebody else's paw-prints all over it) was a BBC Master I have long longed for a RISC OS machine. The A9Home (at last) seems just the 'thing' (http://www.advantagesix.co.uk/products/A9home.html) smaller than the MacMini, featuring an OS in Flash-ROM (no viruses, nothing), and so eccentric one can really look odd owning one (maybe I should not have written that last bit). I also used RISC OS for many years and IMHO it is the best gui about (probably becase I used it so much). I mainly iused RISC OS as a personal computer (although I did need it for researchh early on) even though I migtrated to MacOS for image analysis. The boot time of my StyrongARM desktop was about 5 seconds. ok I don't want to go on aboujt how I loved it. Of course, RISC OS is used in so many embedded systems that the ability to write stuff for it is really useful. THere were more RISC OS machines sold outwith the desktop market than to the home/school user. Everything from RADAR, SONAR, Protien purification units, even the BR train timtable screens. RISC OS was used in Pace set top boxes. I think they even have BBC BASIC still luring away in there. I will not buy an A9Home because, so far, there is no version of MC/RR for RISC OS. Considering that quite a few RISC OS machines are used in the UK (as well as elsewhere) in educational environments, it seems a shame there is neither MC/RR for RISC OS, or, at least, an engine that allows users of MC/RR on Linux/Win/Mac to produce RISC OS compatible standalones. See this thread http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2003-December/026981.html There is Hyperstudio for RISC OS but not metacard/RR. NOw one thing about the A9 is it is a developer only machine at the moment. I think it is about 400ukp. I know the developer, I bought his personal custom machine in 1995 ( A Simtec special A5000) that he bought back fomr me for software testingwhen I got a RiscPC. A machine that had a StrongARM processor and a Pentuium in the second processor slot. This could be used as a co-pro or to run windows in a window. Ohhh dear there I go again. Anyway I know Stuart from Advantage6 (Dont know Mat) and one thing I do know is that they funded the 32-bitting of RISC OS 4 for the A9. They maybe interested in funding the software although I expect someone like Andrew from Rcomp may be more inclined about the porting. As for Runrev doing it. I expect the size of the RISC OS market is too small for them. If you want a look at the OS then you can Get Virtual RiscPC from www.virtualacorn.co.uk Advantage6 use this on there Shuttle style emmulation box.

Does the child_stack.rev open? If not you can create it dynamically. In development mode, this code works fine and the code in child_stack.rev runs as expected. However, when I compile these .REV files to standalone apps, the code in the child_stack doesn't work. The code in the child_stack is simple. I create a set of buttons with mouseMove/mouseUp commands so that they can be dragged around the screen. I'm attaching the code in the buttons if that helps. The behavior in standalone mode is that everything is visible, but the mouseMove doesn't seem to fire. Also, the ctrl+shift+option key command doesn't seem to work either. To move the buttons around the screen simply use on mouseDown if the controlKey is down then grab me end if end mouseDown I guess this leads to a more general question, one that i asked a few days ago, but obviously didn't quite figure out, and that is, I need an application to load sub stacks.

They need to share data. is it silly to compile the parent stack and leave all sub stacks as .rev files? No this is not silly, however, you may want to have some things declared as globals in the standalone and then call the holder or function from the .rev file.

paypal button
Hi All I know you can launch a webpage from within a runrev app, however, is it possible to have a paypal button (generated by a paypal script) just like a webpage, embedded in a rev stack?

absolute/relative path nightmare
Hi All. I am completely baffled by this. OK I have a script in an app that looks for three files in a folder. EG master folder called armbase with an app called armbase.exe in folder armbase ther eis a folder called components. Within the folder called components ar ethe three files I want to access. One is called armbase.txt one called armbase.xdf and another called PDATconc.exe (I run PDATconv.exe from the shell command. OK here is the problem. If my script points to the full path eg in this case on mouseUp set the hideConsoleWindows to true put c:\Armbase\Components\PDATconv.exe /I quote c:\Armbase\Components\Armbase.xdf quote into mycommandline -- the above is in one line it is just truncated by wordwrap in my email program get shell(mycommandline) put url(file:c:\Armbase\Components\Armbase.txt) into tFile repeat for each line tLine in tFile etc etc etc Then the script works fine. However if I use truncated versions (what I think of as relative paths) the app does not run the externals. set the hideConsoleWindows to true put Armbase\Components\PDATconv.exe /I quote Armbase\Components\Armbase.xdf quote into mycommandline -- the above is in one line it is just truncated by wordwrap in my email program get shell(mycommandline) put url(file:Armbase\Components\Armbase.txt) into tFile repeat for each line tLine in tFile or use this version set the hideConsoleWindows to true put \Components\PDATconv.exe /I quote \Components\Armbase.xdf quote into mycommandline -- the above is in one line it is just truncated by wordwrap in my email program get shell(mycommandline) put url(file:\Components\Armbase.txt) into tFile repeat for each line tLine in tFile or use this version set the hideConsoleWindows to true put Components\PDATconv.exe /I quote Components\Armbase.xdf quote into mycommandline -- the above is in one line it is just truncated by wordwrap in my email program get shell(mycommandline) put url(file:Components\Armbase.txt) into tFile repeat for each line tLine in tFile I thought that if the folder was in the same directory as the app then it would work. I need this to work because it would save lots of problems with running multiple versions. Any ideas? Cheers Bob -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hi All. I just wanted to say thanks to all on the list for helping me over the time getting into programming. I have only been doing it sporadically but now have spent sometime getting into the finer points of the runrev method. I know that if I tried to learn anything else with syntax like .. !£$^%*()42 I would have not started. However, on mouseup got to next card end mouseup Makes the intro to app design a lot easier. Now with the encouragment and Patience of the list I'm getting a lot more independent. I'd just like to say thank you all for all the help. Cheers Bob -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

delete last card problems
Hi All I haev a database with a group of fields on it. I have a delete card button with the script on mouseup delete card end mouseup This works perfectly with one exception. If I delete all cards down to the last card I still see my database template. If however, I delete the last card I dont see my group of fields. So I'd like to do something like this Have a delete card button that will delete a card unless it is the last one, and if it is the last card only clear the fields I thought of on mouseup if this card is not cd 1 then delete this card end if if this cd is cd 1 then clear all fields end if end mouseup I get an error with this.

prompt for confirmation

It will replace the fiel adn cant be undone and a box with Yes and No that performs the action. I know I can add a stack that has 2 buttons on this, but to save doing this every time, I wondered if there was a script that popped up a standard windows save box?

method of copy button required via popup. Advice on howto
Hi All. The buttons on my app are getting numerous. ONe button inserts a another button into a card. I'd like a way to have one button do this depending on the satus of a popup/ IE click on one button and it inserts a button with a script on mouseup do function1 end mouseup but if function 2 is selected from the popup it adds a button with script on mouseup do function2 end mouseup How do I do this. I thought of having a hidden stack with buttons with the functions in them and simply have the button do this. What would the type of command be. here is a guess on mouseup if the popup functionchoice is menupick insert function1 Copy button Function1 to stack target end if if the popup functionchoice is menupick insert function2 Copy button Function2 to stack target end if end mouseup Is this easy? cheers bob -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Previously I was deleting the lat field of the stack where the delete button was. Thanks for directing me back to delete and away from undo. I can tweak this a bit further. I can delete a button from the group, however, I need to create a new button with delete last button of group mastergroup of stack etc Now I would need to add a button for eack object. If I use delete last object I get an error. So my next question is. What are buttons and fields etc known as collectively? Not objects.? All the best Bob You could try something like: delete last field assuming that the deletion concerns always the last field created by your button :-) You can refer to an object by order, number, ID , name and much more ;-) Best regards from Paris, Eric Chatonet.
