Hi Jeff,

When you say 'no graphics', do you mean you want a command-line
interface only, 
or something else?

If CLI only, you can write a runrev script with a text editor, and start
it out 
by turning off the GUI, by making line 1 of the script something like
this:

#! -ui

Right now, the graphic libraries are required. As I understand it, 
dependencies are being reconsidered for the next Linux engine and some 
dependencies will be removed. So stay tuned.

Sarah,
  Thanks you for responding.  I'm still confused on the issue.  What I
have is several fields that are for data entry.  I don't want to give
the user the ability of using the mouse in any of the input fields.  I
could put empty mouseDown handlers in the fields but that will still
allow the user the ability to use the mouse to get into the field and
the type within the field.  I want to make sure their only ability to
get into the field are by tabbing or using the return key from the
previous field.  Jeff

If you mean to make a window or an area of a window so that no mouse
clicks are responded to, then I find the easiest way is to cover the
whole area with a button. See the transparency of the button so that
it looks the way you want and give it a mouseUp handler that traps the
message but does nothing. You may also want to include mouseDown,
mouseDoubleUp & mouseDoubleDown.

Jeff, try the format function

put format("%1.2f",NBalance) into NBalance

The numberFormat is a system property, and you can't set it for one  
variable. It persists (I think) until the current handler finishes.  
In any case, it simply limits the decimal places, and will not put  
the trailing zeros in, so if your calculation produced a value of  
21.1, it would still only give you "21.1" rather than "21.10".

I think it's because the ampersand is inside the query itself, try this:

 put revQueryDatabase(gConID, "SELECT ClaimNum FROM AccountEntry WHERE

  I've tried using the revdb_execute in the past on this code but it

with the merge and revdb_querylist.  I'm assuming since Rev purchased
this code they would have to make the changes for the Linux version to

Jeff,

A couple of points on this:

1.) For commands that don't return a recordset you're better off calling
revdb_execute or its command variant revExecuteSQL.

2.) Orginally altSqlite checked for "select" in queries that we're
asking
for rowsets to be returned because there were some pragmas that could be
executed that would crash rev.  That restriction was later removed on
the
mac and windows versions.

3.) Inserts should use the revdb_execute or revExecuteSQL syntax and can
do
so without incurring the pragma check

Looping

[Jeff Honken]

Thanks to all of those that helped me out on the "adding one hour" to a
variable.  Now I'm moving on further and I need to loop my times.
Looping one item is confusing to me so looping two is really tough.
Here's what I'm trying to do.  

I'm getting five inputs from fields and buttons.
1.  If it's AM or PM for start "SAmPm"
2.  The start time of the Table "STime"
3.  What Intervals the time should be incrementing in "Intervals"
4.  If it's AM or PM for the End Time "EAmPm"
5.  The finish time of the table "ETime"

What I want the program to do is take the three inputs and fill a table
with the answers until the end time has been reached.  The answers
should populate the table "MyTable" in descending order.  I know I have
to use a loop to get the results but I'm confused on how to loop both
the time and the line number of the field.  Also I'm not sure how to end
the loop at the designated end time.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.  Jeff




on mouseUp
  put the label of btn "SAmPm" into SAmPm
  put fld "STime" into STime
  put fld "Intervals" into Intervals
  put fld "ETime" into ETime
  put the label of btn "EAmPm" into EAmPm

  put STime && SAmPm into currentTime
  put currentTime into item 1 of line 1 of fld MyTable

  convert currentTime to seconds
  put currentTime + (60*Intervals) into FutureTime
  convert FutureTime to time
  
  put FutureTime into item 1 of line 2 of fld MyTable
end mouseUp

I haven't done it using stacks, but I have done it for downloading
pictures from the web and I guess it's much the same. Firstly, you
need to use "load" instead of "go". This is non-blocking and reports
it's status so you can show what's happening.

Here is part of the handler I use to start a download. It sets the
status callback object to a progress bar and then starts loading. When
it is finished, it's going to call the "picDownloaded" handler.


on downloadFile pAddress
  libURLSetStatusCallback "showStatus", the long ID of sb "Progress"
of stack "Download"
  load URL pAddress with message "picDownloaded"
end downloadFile

In the script of the scrollbar, I have this:

on showStatus pURL, pStatus
  if item 1 of pStatus = "loading" then
put item 2 of pStatus into tNow
put item 3 of pStatus into tEnd

if the visible of sb "Progress" = false then
  -- hasn't started yet
  set the endValue of  sb "Progress" to tEnd
  set the thumbPos of  sb "Progress" to tNow
  show  sb "Progress"
else
  set the thumbPos of  sb "Progress" to tNow
end if

  else if pStatus = "error" then
libURLSetStatusCallback
set the dialogData to empty
close this stack
   end if
end showStatus

which sets the range of the progress bar and shows it if not already
visible, otherwise it just moves the progress bar. If there is an
error, it gets out.

Back in my download script, I have the handler that gets called after
the download is finished. This is in the same script as the
downloadFile handler:

on picDownloaded pURL, pStatus
libURLSetStatusCallback
set the dialogData to URL pURL
unload URL pURL
 end picDownloaded

This puts the newloy downloaded data into a variable (I'm using the
dialogData as it downloads from a separate dialog stack), and then
unloads the file so that it isn't held in two places of memory at
once.

At this point, you could have a "go to stack pURL" line.

Let me know if this doesn't work or if you have any further questions.

Cheers,
Sarah

RE: Launch .rev file from .exe

[Jeff Honken]

Yep.  That worked great.  Is there any way to put a password on a .rev
file so someone else can't modify the file.  I know there is if I save
it to an .exe but can you put a password on a .rev file?  Jeff

Auto tab to next field

[Jeff Honken]

I trying to program an automatic tab to the next field after the user
inputs three characters.  Here's the code I'm using:

on keyDown theKey
  if the number of chars in me >= 3 then
focus on fld ProvOfficePhone2
exit keyDown
  else
pass keyDown
  end if
end keyDown

The above code works but when I hit the fourth character it tabs to the
next field but it loses the character that was typed. i.e. if you type
1234 the 123 goes into my first box and the cursor goes to the next
field but it doesn't input 4 into that field.  Any suggestions?  Jeff

  We're starting to narrow the problem down.  If I change the
compatability to Win 95 in the shortcut it sees the database.  The
graphics and colors aren't correct but the appliation runs.  I may be
incorrect but I think when the application is compiled it's compiling a
16 bit app vs 32.  I'm not sure how to fix the problem unless I recode

It's not a network thing per se - when you log on to a server via
terminal services you get a virtual C: drive. You have to, since you
don't have your computer available. When you specify a SQLite database
connection you have to tell it where the database lives. I'd check and
see what you set the path to your database to - if you hardcoded it to
a specific location then check that exact location when you log on via
terminal services and see if the database is really there. Same thing
for the graphic files.

How are you using the relative paths? You *do* realize that your root
directory under terminal services is different from what it is logging

Sqlite on Linux

[Jeff Honken]

I've compiled my application on Windows and I've moved it to Linux.  I
get the following error when I try to access the Sqlite database with my
application on Linux:

Failed to load dbsqlite.so error dbsqlite.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directoryfound
/root/Linux/externals/database_drivers/dbsqlite.so
symbols 7134656,7134544,7134624
called idcounterptrx12.db
���ph'l�Fȥ�*

I've tried it on Fedora Core 4, RedHat 7.3 and 8.0.  All with the same
error.  I've set the permissions to 777 for the file and I've tripple
checked that the file is there and in that directory.  It's creating a
file called c:/test.db on my hard drive which I'm sure the .so is
creating.  I emailed Altuit yesterday but I havn't heard back from them.
Is anyone else using the Altuit .so on Linux that has seen this problem
before.  Any help would be appreciated.  Jeff

Cross-platform fonts can be tricky.  I know Revolution tries to help you

out between Mac and Windows by making the Windows fonts smaller than the

point size you specify.

One way is to find out what font size works the best on Linux and use 
profiles to switch between sizes, depending on the platform.

Not if you encrypt the stacks when building the app. There is a
setting to do this in the standalone settings dialog. However if you
encrypt, you won't be able to use this technique for retrieving stacks
from the built app.

Cards within Stacks

[Jeff Honken]

Well here's a newbie question that I have.  Do all cards within the same
stack have to be the same size?  What I would like to do is present the
user with a card that they can input various search criteria.  The
program would then take that information and do a search on another card
within that stack.  i.e. User inputs last Name of a person and the form
queries the database displaying the results.  I know I can use the Ask
command but I would like to give multiple items that they can query on.
Is there a way to use a smaller card for this query box?  Jeff

Yes, sure!

Go to the card where you do NOT wnat the TABS as a background, then
select menu "Object" -> "Remove group" and that's it :-)

You can also do this by script:
...
remove bg "name of your TAB group" from card xyz

Well, yes it does work, except that in this context, "delete" just
deletes the stack from memory, not from the hard disk.

You must be extremely careful to use this only on a mainStack. If you
delete a substack, it is really gone - deleted from the stack file -
but deleting a mainStack just removes it from memory.

However in answer to the original question, either "close this stack"
or "quit" should do fine. I often have a quit routine that checks
whether I am in the IDE or running as an app and either saves & closes
the stack if in the IDE, or quits if in an app.

Cheers,
Sarah

Hi Jeff,

The delete command removes a main stack from memory unless it's the  
last one available and that can't happen in the IDE.
In a standalone, just use the quit command.
To make things handy:

if the environment is "development" then close this stack
else quit

If the object's traversalOn property is false, it cannot receive the

Subject: Game Source Information for Rev

I recently bought my Revolution software. I am in the process of making
a small adventure game. It is a point and click game, usually called a
Myst clone. I had to choose between Revolution and Director for my game
software. As I understand it, the first Myst game was make with
Hypercard (Revolution). 

Since I am new to Revolution, I am lost in a sea of Commands. I probably
don't need to learn all of them, probably only a few dozen Commands for
my game. Commands such as go to the next images, start/stop background
sound, start/stop music, start a sprite, start/stop an animation, and so
on and so on. And I will need to make some puzzles which will require
Functions probably. 

All I have found in user stacks so far are applications. Are there an
adventure game stacks I could take apart and learn from? Are there any
books on the subject? 

I am starting from the beginning, so any information source will help. 

Thanks

Kori

The correct character is "\"

Not sure what you are doing specifically, but remember, the "\" cannot
be
used to split a string:
NO:
put "the lazy brown dog jumped \
and bit the mailman" into neverHappened

Yes, even in the multi-line message box:
put " the lazy mailman bit " & \
"the brown dog" into newsAtSix

SQL Statement on Multiple Lines

[Jeff Honken]

Is there any way to have a SQL statement on multiple lines.  My code
works great if the statement is all on one line but once I try to go to
two lines it dies.  I've tried using the / with no luck.  Here's a very
cut down version of what I'm trying:

--> CONSTRUCT SQL
  put "CREATE TABLE Provider 
(ProvAutoNo INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, ProvActive text)" into tSQL
  --> EXECUTE SQL
  put revdb_execute(gConID,tSQL) into tList

The Provider table is actually very large.

Change Focus to Group

[Jeff Honken]

I'm trying to switch the focus from a field that I'm in to a group of
radio buttons by entering "Return".  I'm using the following:

on returnInField
 focus on group ProviderRadio
end returnInField

The focus seems to be working great from field to field but when I try
to go to a group it errors.  Can someone steer me in the correct
direction on this.  Jeff

You can make this script a lot faster by using "repeat for each..."

Try this:
...
   put me into N
   put fld ProcListField into tData
   put empty into tSummary
   put 1 into tCounter
   ## see below...
   repeat for each line L in tData
 if L contains N then
 ## string N has been "found" in string L :-)
 put tCounter & "," after tSummary
 end if
 add 1 to tCounter
 ## ***
   end repeat
   delete last char of tSummary
...

*** since "repeat for each..." is "read only" we have to count up  
manually!

Search Scrolling Field

[Jeff Honken]

I'm trying to write a script that will allow me to search a Scrolling
field from a user inputed field.

Here's what I have:

1.  The Scrolling field is populated by a database. It's name is
ProcListField

2.  I have a field that I am putting in a value.

3.  I want to search the ProcListField and highlight the "line" that
contains the word I'm searching with.

I've been trying the below script but it doesn't seem to find anything
in my ProcListField.  I think what it's doing is looking for me to match
the whole line and not an individual word within the line.  Does anyone
have any ideas on how I can accomplish this search?

put me into N
  put fld ProcListField into tData
  put empty into tSummary
  repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of tData
if line x of tData = N then put x & "," after tSummary
  end repeat
  delete last char of tSummary

My end plans were to take tSummary and grab the row ID from it and
hilite the row within ProcListField.  I may be going about this
completely wrong so any input would be helpful.

RE: FTP

[Jeff Honken]

I've never used FTP with Runrev but doesn't he have to have a FTP server
on his end to upload the files to?  He said that he'd created a
directory and can access it but can he access it with FTP? Just
wondering. I have to write an app here soon that uses FTP.  Jeff

Hi Marty,

It could be that you have to supply a filename and not
a directory in the uploadURL parameter.
I'd modify your handler to something like and see if
that works:
--
on dragdrop
  put empty into fld "LogData"
  --> you should only have to set the log field once
  libUrlSetLogField the long id of fld "LogData"
  put the dragdata into tFilePath
  if tFilePath is not empty then
set the itemDelimiter to "/"
put item -1 of tFilePath into tFileName
put
"ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/drop/" & \
tFileName into tUploadURL
libURLftpUploadFile tFilePath, tUploadURL
  else beep
end dragdrop
--

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.

destroyStack is a property that only needs to be set once. It means
that closing a stack removes it from memory. It does not mean that any
data entered is to be destroyed. If the stack has been saved, the data
entered before the save will still be there next time you open the
stack.

If you are making a standalone, and do not set the substacks to be
separate files, no data will be saved, so that may be all you need.

However when working in the Rev environment, and before building you
will need to empty the data fields. Many people write a handler called
"stripNship" or some variation of that which sets the stack the way
you want it to be when first opened. It can empty fields, set button
hilites etc and you can run it when closing the stack, before building
or on preOpenStack.

Cheers,
Sarah

Data Input History

[Jeff Honken]

I've been trying to figure out how to destroy the data I've input into a
field after I close the stack.  I'm closing the stack using:

set the destroyStack of this stack to true
  close stack "ProvWiz"

When I open the stack back up the data that I've input is still there. 
How do I destroy the data in the fields when I close the stack?

The matchText string in your earlier email would ensure that it is in 
the right format and approximately a correct date (e.g. it would have 
allowed 02/31/1971). That in conjunction with "is a date" should give 
you everything you want 

function CheckDate pDateToCheck
  if pDateToCheck is a date and \
matchText(pDateToCheck,"(0[1-9]|1[0-2])/(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])/([0-9][
0-9][0-9][0-9])") \
  then
return pDateToCheck
  else
return "Bad date"
  end if
end CheckDate


You originally said "...  but I'm having a hard time figuring out how 
it's working." Here's a quick explanation

matchText checks a string against a regular expression. The reg
expression

"(0[1-9]|1[0-2])/(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])/([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])"
can be described as

0 followed by any digit between 1 and 9 (i.e. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06,
07, 08, 09)
OR
1 followed by digit between 0 and 2 (i.e. 10, 11, 12)

(that's the  month taken care of)

followed by a "/"

followed by 
0 followed by any digit between 1 and 9 (i.e. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06,
07, 08, 09)
OR
1 or 2 followed by digit between 0 and 9 (i.e. 10  29)
OR 
3 followed by 0 or 1 or 2

(the day of the month)


followed by a "/"

followed by 4 digits

(that's the year done)

In this case, provided you're doing the "is a date" check which will 
catch invalid numbers for month and day, you could simplify the reg expr
to
"\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}"

\d means any digit
{2} means "the previous group must occur 2 times"

Date Validation and MatchText

[Jeff Honken]

Thanks for the reply Ken that does work well.  I'd like to try to
restrict the date to a pattern of mm/dd/.  Using "date" allow dates
such as mm/d/y.  Do you know how to parse the date string to match
mm/dd/ only?

You should be able to just say:

  if pDateToCheck is a date then  ...

No need to run a function unless you are planning on checking a bunch of
other date formats that aren't support by the "is a date" approach (like
MySQL's -MM-DD)...
