Re: Contextual (right-click) menus

[Jared Smith]

Wow, I think we had a communication problem. When I think of "pop-down
menu," I think of that control on the tools pallette that pops a list
of choices down. I figured you guys wanted me to hide one of those
everywhere to get the same effect as a contextual menu.

I'll have to check that tutorial out when I get home o_0

Re: Contextual (right-click) menus

Will these pop-down menus look like native contextual menus? I've never
actually seen them in action (I'll check out Viktoras' tutorial later, thank
you for that). It seems like a work-around. Perhaps the Rev team has plans
to put this functionality in directly...?

HI,

We discussed this on ChatRev and I decided to check the bug in
BugZilla. You can find it at . The bug has been marked as fixed. If you have
Rev 2.5 or later, you can hide the button, otherwise you should move
it off-screen.

Best,

That's true, they should leave this to senators who understand it, but with

I'm happy to see that altBrowser can find text using...

XBrowser_Set "selected", "SearchWord", BrowserID

However, when I use it, it only finds the very first instance of the
word I search for within the website. I'd like to implement
Previous/Next buttons just like other browsers. If anyone has any tips
on how to do this, please let me know.

U3 has a platform to promote and Windows totally dominates the desktop
market, so it makes sense to make the investment there first. They havent
said anything about not supporting Linux and the Mac in the future and they
havent indicated a lack of willingness to do so in the future.

I'm not following you here - add-on's as in IDE add-on's?

They might - but the Mac platform for these devices is pretty small at this
point. If they secure a strong position in the Windows market, it makes it a
lot easier to port to Linux and Mac.

keyboard shortcuts when altBrowser is on

Hi all,

altBrowser seems to override any keyboard shortcuts you have unless
you make it go out of focus. Is there a way to - for lack of a better
term - override their override? I'd like to assign simple shortcuts to
go backwards/forwards and shift the focus to the URL bar.

Thanks.

Re: text fields don't focusIn

Interestingly, Message Watcher doesn't even see the mouseDown when I

Re: text fields don't focusIn

[Jared Smith]

I don't think it's a mesage passing issue, because a list field in the
same stack works just fine with focusIn/focusOut. It's just this text
field. I was hoping someone would say that text fields handle focus
differently, but I guess not.

Try opening
Message Watcher in the Development menu
to see what it reports as you click, type, etc.

Also put the following in script containers to trap-show-and-pass

on focusIn
  put "FIELD script hit" & cr & msg
  pass focusIn
end focusIn
on focusIn
  put " CARD  script hit" & cr & msg
  pass focusIn
end focusIn

on focusIn
  put "  STACK  script hit" & cr & msg
  pass focusIn
end focusIn

The point is that you need to see what is happening with the keyboard, the
field script container, the focus, and the exact order of the messages.
This is part of the rich fabric of UI (user interface) management, so you
need to build things carefully.

Be sure to PASS messages that need to travel all the way to the engine to
make things happen/change.

Hope this helps.

text fields don't focusIn

[Jared Smith]

This issue seems so basic, yet I'm going crazy over it. I've put a
focusIn handler inside a text field which tells it to do something.
When I click the text field (thus focusing in on it), nothing happens.
Am I doing something wrong?

Re: a couple hurdles I had with Rev

[Jared Smith]

Yep, I've just started getting in the habit of duplicating my project
regularly. Luckily, the project I lost was relatively simple and I
reproduced the code in about 30-60 minutes. I'll have to check out that
Constellation thing.

I do this unconsciously, and when a project is done, trash or archive
the copies.

Can't tell you how often I've been glad about this!

Re: Tables behaving badly

[Jared Smith]

Ken,

The idea of making the gridlines the same color as the background
sounds good, but when I have a list item selected, you can see the
gridlines for that selection. I wonder if there is a way to make the
hilight lay on top to cover the lines? If so, the solution would be
perfect.

Ah, that's the problem... if you don't have vertical gridlines, the text
will not get chopped off at the column boundaries and will move anything in
the next column. So turn the vertical gridlines back on, and then change the
grid color to white (or whatever the background color of the field is). That
should do the trick...

Re: Reording lists with drag n' drop

[Jared Smith]

Thank you for all the advice, everyone. I chose GetinLine to get me
started for now - it works great, but if anyone knows how to remove
the clock icon that gets caught in the snapshots sometimes, please let
me know.

Thanks again.

Just to add to the list of  solutions:

There is a stack "DragWithinListField" which uses a transparent button
to show the act and state of the dragging, to be downloaded from
.

Other solutions I implemented are:

- "simple" dragging of a textline without added button or graphic

- dragging *between* list fields

- dragging from a list field into a text field

- also modified versions of  Scott Rossi's "GetinLine" that circumvent
the need to take snapshots.

These solutions can be found here , page
"Samples and Tools for Development" or directly from
.

Tables behaving badly

[Jared Smith]

I'm trying to make a table field with text and little icons along the
right edge (by inserting characters and setting their imagesource).
Problem: I can't get the icons to stay in a fixed spot along the right
edge. If I change the text in the field, the icon moves as well.

Just FYI: I have the field set so the gridlines are invisible.

Re: need help with strings

[Jared Smith]

Hmmm...I put the following in the message box:

repeat for 3 times
tabString = tabString & tab
end repeat
answer tabString & "hello"

The error I received is:

Script compile error:
Error description: Expression: double binary operator

Almost there!  Change the + to & and accumulate tabs in the string.

(The name tabCount sounds like a number; call it tabs or tabString.)

need help with strings

[Jared Smith]

Hi everyone,

As I was trying to make a string, I instinctively wrote something like:

put tab * 2 & "Hello" into field "Field"

This returned an error. Why can't I tell it to put in two tabs this
way? I need this functionality so I can make the number of tabs vary
according to a variable. Is there a way to do this?

I guess I could use a repeat loop, but I don't know how to do it. My
Java mentality kicked in and wrote something like the following, which
doesn't work:

repeat for myVariable times
tabCount = tabCount+tab
end repeat
put tabCount & "Hello" into field "Field"

My Transcript learning process is admittedly trial & error :-(

A real easy way?  No, but here's one way (execute in your message box):

Reordering lists with drag n' drop

[Jared Smith]

I'm wondering what the easiest way is to implement this feature. I
have a normal list field with items that I'd like to be able to click
and drag up or down.

I'm contemplating using mouseDown to grab them and, upon mouseUp,
measure which line it is closest to and move it. I'd also need to come
up with some animation effect to show the user where it'll go before
they release. I wish this functionality was included, but anyway if
anyone can think of a real easy way to do it, please let me know.

Re: a couple hurdles I had with Rev

[Jared Smith]

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I did something wrong when I
search for "deleteKey."

By the way, why doesn't the Undo command under "Edit" in Rev work? I
accidently deleted most of my program and tried to undo it, but it
didn't work. So I decided to close the program without saving.
Annoyingly, it saved anyway and so I have to write everything over
again. I'm kind of frustrated right now.

Watch out for the case where the last character in the string is the one
you are interested in; because there isn't an item after it, this gives
the wrong result - I'd use

function charCount tText,tChar
  set the itemDelimiter to tChar
  if char -1 of tText = tChar then
return the number of items in tText
  else
return the number of items in tText - 1
  end if
end charCount

a couple hurdles I had with Rev

[Jared Smith]

Here are a few things that I've been confused about:

1) How do I find the number of times a certain character appears in a
string? The "offset" function only finds the first occurance, it
doesn't count them.

2) Why isn't there a deleteKey handler? There's a backspaceKey and a
few others, but I'd like a way to respond when the user presses the
delete key.

Thanks and my complements to the guys at RunRev - really excellent
software so far.
