RE: No Disk error MountedDisks
Using the dir command from the command prompt (shell) will not cause a popup error, it will only return an error message in the command window. So you could build a list of valid drives with something like this: set the hideConsoleWindows to true put empty into fld ValidDrives repeat for each char x in ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ put shell(dir x :\) into output if output contains The device is not ready \ or output contains The system cannot find the path \ or output contains path was not found then next repeat else put x : return after fld ValidDrives end if end repeat Note that if you have a lot of mapped drives or other drives that are slow to respond, this may take more than a couple of seconds. Of course, you could limit which drives you are going to test. For instance, the usually floppy drives A: and B: will take the longest. Also note that this, as written, only works on NT/2K/XP. Win9x also returns a command-prompt-only error, but it's a different error and it waits for a response (Abort, Retry, etc.). So you'll probably have to use process instead of shell so you can respond to the error, or maybe just kill the process. I have access to a Win98 machine if you need the error messages, or to test some code, but it'll have to be a standalone because Rev is not installed on that machine.

RE: No Disk error MountedDisks
I concur with Hugh. On my Win2k with rev 2.5, the volumes lists all drives, whether they are available or not, like the floppy, the CDROM (with no disk loaded), and network mappings, even if that resource is currently unavailable (the computer is down/disconnected). So then you need a way to test each drive. Using (there is a file...), I don't have a problem with any of them using except the floppy. It pops up the error dialog that Hugh mentions. Hugh, do you get the error dialog with any other drives? If not, then you could just always exclude the A: drive, which for 99.9% of Windows PCs that would be the one and only floppy drive.

RE: sql server redux
Mark, I haven't investigated SQL Server snapshot backups before, but a quick look through the docs and their web site seems to indicate that there's probably some API or DMO call used to freeze the database at the time of the snapshot. The MSDN site refers to some VC++ examples, but I couldn't locate them. If you could find them, then you should be able to determine how they are accomplishing it. I'm curious, why do you want to do a snapshot backup instead of the normal backup method. I understand that it's intended for high availability scenarios and supposed to have minimal impact on the server, but you have to have the right equipment to pull it off (3 way mirror or something like that). Is this what you're working with? Jay Madren -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark D.

Okay, this is where my nearly perfect ignorance comes to play--I don't really understand how a transaction with appropriate serialization would work for a snapshot. If other users are able to access the database, then the files are open, things are in a cache, and the snapshot won't be good for backup purposes--unless there is something here I'm missing (entirely possible!) I thought that the actual server itself needs to be paused to do a good snap--much the same as in a backup scenario, just not taking quite so long (less than one second). --- ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

RE: Problems with closeField
Note the following from the docs on closeField: The closeField message is not sent when a handler changes the field's contents using the put command. If a field is closing and its contents have not changed, the exitField message is sent instead of closeField. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, since you are not passing the regular keystrokes on to the engine, it never knows that the contents have changed. So it really is doing exactly what the docs say. Note that if you use any of the keystrokes that you are passing (backspace, Esc, return, etc.) then the closeField message _is_ sent. I never used HyperCard, but I suppose that its engine somehow detected that the contents had changed even if you didn't pass keyDown (maybe it does a post-compare like the exitField suggestion) As I understand it, from your original post, you're wanting to only run your autocomplete code when actual useable keystrokes are entered. If that's the case, then you could just pass all keystrokes, without putting them into the field yourself. You can still act on keystrokes of interest using the following variation: local what on keydown k if charToNum(k) is not among the words of 3 8 9 13 28 29 30 31 then put me into what --process autocomplete code here end if pass keyDown end keydown on closefield put Field changed: Field= fld Field1 , what= what end closefield But there is a problem with this method. The what variable doesn't get the last keystroke entered until the keyDown is passed (as you can see in the output on closeField). I think this is because the field's contents doesn't get updated until the engine receives the keystroke. So, the following will fix that: on keydown k if charToNum(k) is not among the words of 3 8 9 13 28 29 30 31 then put me into what put k after what --process autocomplete code here end if pass keyDown end keydown Hope this helps, Jay Madren -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 07:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Problems with closeField Dear Wilhelm, Thank you very much for replying (and especially for making sure I SAW your reply, since the Digest mixed up my post). I, too, had since worked out an exitField version. However, yours is more elegant than mine: e.g. using a 'script local variable' rather than a global variable. :-) What I still don't understand (and perhaps you don't either, given your comment This is contrary to what you would expect from the docs) is why the field doesn't send a closeField when the contents of the field have changed. Here's the problem, again, in its simplest form: Create a field with the following script: on openField put empty end openField on keydown k if charToNum(k) is among the words of 3 8 9 13 28 29 30 31 then pass keyDown put k into selection end keydown on closefield put Field changed. end closefield Typing into the field produces completely normal behaviour: arrowkeys, the deletekey and backspace key are passed, and everything else is handled by the line put k into selection. But when you click out of the field, NO closeField message is sent. Now delete (or comment out) the keyDown handler. Type into the field and click out of it: The message box reports (correctly) that the field has changed. Since HyperCard sends closeField in both situations, I gather that Revolution must have its own definition of 'closeField'. Can anyone from RunRev (or with inside knowledge) confirm this?

RE: Using revDB with DSN-less ODBC connections on MacOS X?
For a DSN-less ODBC connection to MS SQL Server on Windows, I use
DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=servername. Note that this connection string
(which is really the host parameter in rev) has to be in double quotes. And
since it's not a DSN, you have to specify the database name in the next
parameter. An example of my call is:
revOpenDatabase(ODBC,DRIVER=SQL

Subject: Using revDB with DSN-less ODBC connections on MacOS X?
Has anyone succesfully used revDB to connect to an ODBC data source on MacOS
X without a DSN, using just a connection string?
Ken Ray kindly sent me a sample which suggested it should at least be
possible on Windows, replacing the DSN in the call with a connection string
of the form eg
DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=C:\test.mdb;
But all the plausible strings I try to construct on MacOS X fail with the
message
[iODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found and no default
driver specified. Driver could not be loaded.
I'm using the OpenLink SQL Server driver. I'm copying text out of the
ODBC.ini file for DSNs that are known working, and I've tried both using the
driver name, eg
DRIVER={OpenLink SQL Server Lite Driver}
and the path, eg
DRIVER={/Library/ODBC/OpenLink SQL Server Lite ODBC
Driver.bundle/Contents/MacOS/sql_st_lt.so};
but I get the same message each time.
Has anyone else succeeded (or tried and failed) to do this on MacOS X?
Is there some peculiarity of iODBC on MacOS X which means DSN's less
connections can't be used here, although they can on Windows?
Is it possible that the message is just misleading, and that one or other
formulation for driver was actually working, but it was failing on some
other part of the connection string?

RE: RevZilla - What Should Be Done Next?
Need a way to easily select a range of choices from the drop-down lists in search. On bugzilla I can do this by clicking on one entry then shift-clicking on another to select all entries in between. This is useful for, lets say, quickly selecting all versions except 2.5. Actually, if you select more than one thing from the same popup menu in Search (the ones under the separator line), the label will change to Multiple and you'll get multiple checkmarks next to them which will indicate that you can search on multiple items within a popup menu. Let me know if this will work for you; if not, let me know what you'd like to do instead (or in addition). Yes, I know you can select multiple entries, but it's not a easy, quick way to select a lot of entries. In my example, to select all versions except the 2.5 ones, you have to individually select the 18 non-2.5 choices from the version popup. I don't know of anyone who wants to sit there and do that. So what's needed is a feature like the one on bugzilla (which is really just a feature of popups/dropdowns in web forms), where you can shift-click to select a whole range of choices. If that's not easy to do, then maybe a checkbox or button to invert the selection, e.g., select the 2.5 choices, then select invert which would invert or reverse the checkmarks on all entries in that field. Another feature which would also help alleviate this tedious multiple-selection problem would be the ability to save search criteria. So then I could just call up a saved search, maybe modify it a little, and run it. Of course, this is a worthy feature on its own, no matter if you fix the multiple selection problem or not.

Another is when you upload or download a file via ftp, the file is assigned the current date/time, not the original date/time. The ability to modify the date/time of a file in RR could overcome this, but only for downloads. I have been using a system of using a control file that contains the date/time for each file on the ftp server, and pkzipc (command line version) to preserve the date/time of the files (in addition to compressing them). But each computer must have the pkzip utilities. Again, if RR had the ability to modify the date/time of a file (or someone wrote an external to do it - hint hint), I could build a utility to handle all of this without having to rely on pkzip.

Standalone Builder not remembering last build folder
Hi all, Before I bugzilla this, I wanted confirmation that it's not just my system (Win2000). I have been working a lot with building executables, and have noticed a few glitches. First, RR/SB doesn't remember the last used build folder for a stack. In fact, after exiting and restarting RR, the SB always starts at My Computer when asking where to save the build to. But after building a standalone the first time, the next time I run SB (without exiting RR), it starts at the parent folder to the previously selected build folder. For example, if I choose to build in D:\Revolution\Builds, then run SB again, the browse starts at D:\Revolution. So I can't just accept the default, I have to select the correct folder each time. The fact that it starts somewhere else besides My Computer tells me that the SB is sort-of remembering the last build folder, just not correctly. So this part is what I am considering a bug. But in addition to this, I am going to enter an enhancement request for the SB to save the last build folder as part of the Standalone Application Settings, and to use it automatically without asking. I also would like an option to turn off the dialog that asks if I want to overwrite the build folder. What do you think?

RE: Call for testers...
Xavier, Yes, I would be very interested to test your plug-in. I, too, have been less than thrilled by the amount of mouse activity needed to do serious interface design work, especially since I come from another 4GL product that is much better in this area. If it does what you say, I would definitely pay that amount!

It allows you to switch to different RevProperty palette views with just one click instead of a long drag in the properties menu! Needless to say, this will save you hours and hours and kilometers of mouse interaction with the menu in the revPropertyPalette (I was so annoyed with it...) AND best for last - you can save the settings you make for one object and to copy them to another object with just one menu pick! If you're a power user, this is a must! Also provides one-click buttons to access stack, group and card properties! Which reminds me I forgot to put in a edit script button (but Im waiting to port my script editor to RR first to make it truely a NO2 equipped plugin! ;) (NO2 is that thing you see in fast and furious that boost power X4 in one click!) It's auto installable (no messy/buggy plugin manager required ;) Is a 15 Euro shareware fee too much you think? interested?

RE: PreNewbie database question
If by can't get to first base you mean once you opened the query builder, you didn't know what to do, then I can relate. It took some digging in the online docs for me to figure out that you've got to create a new query first, by pressing the + button. Then you can fill in the connection details, get connected, then proceed to build a query. This is one of those areas in RR that just isn't intuitive at all. Sure, once you know, it's simple. But upon opening the query builder for the first time, there's a lot of things in the window and no real clue about what to do. And, like I said, the instructions are buried deep within the huge topic About connecting to and using SQL Databases, about halfway through. If this wasn't what you were asking about, my apologies. Maybe it will benefit someone else. Jay Madren -Original Message- I've tried a couple of times to use mySQL but I can't get to first base. When I open RR Database query builder I see two tabs: Connection and Record set. Does this imply that mySQL works only with web based data? (Yes, I've read the article in the Revolution Encyclopedia.) ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Automatic database queries SQL Server or Access
I submitted the following on bugzilla back at the beginning of September (bug # 511), but they haven't even been able to test and confirm it yet (as you can see if you read thehistory on bugzilla). Can anyone here that runs on Windows confirmthis bug for me? I run Windows 2000, and I tried it on another Windows 2000 machine with the same results. I don't have access to any other Windows machines on which I could load RR and test this. Below is a copy of my initial bug submission. You don't have to have SQL Server to test this, only Access, since either one (using ODBC) resulted in the same problem. begin bug description I am having difficulty getting automatic database queries to work correctly. I'm using ODBC to a SQL Server database (though I've tried Access too with the same results). I can connect to the database, but it will not display a list of the tables on the Record Set tab. But I can still manually type in a query and it works, BUT only if the query returns only one record. If I enter a query that returns more than one record, RR "goes out to lunch" and never responds (CPU usage is maxed out for the revolution.exe process in Task Manager). I wind up having to kill the process. Note that I can use the revDataFromQuery function in the Message Box to retrieve records (thousands of them) without a problem. I can also use revQueryDatabase with the same query and I get a record set ID back without any problems. I have successfully coded this on a card to populate a field (table) and it works just fine. But it will not work using automatic database queries that return more than one record. end bug description Thanks, Jay Madren

Sorry for the HTML in my post. Forgot to send as plain text (why can't the list server automatically strip this stuff out?). Jay Madren ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
