Stress-testing SQLite

Hi Richard, How many tables and how many columns per table (on average) are you talking about? That can make a big difference to the performance if there are JOINS involved. If not, then that's not so much a problem. Will the user always apply a WHERE filter to the data? What's the potential return record set count on a typical filter? I'd be happy to do some stress testing if you can give me some details.

Web, Mobile and Server documentation
Hi all, On the RunRev website, on the Store page, it references the following when I mouse over the Commercial LiveCode Complete icon: The All-In toolkit to solve complex problems fast For serious developers everywhere, the Master bundle. Get LiveCode Development Tools, every deployment option including Desktop, Web, Mobile and Server Since I have this license, I was wondering where's the documentation on how to use and build the Web, the Mobile and Server features? I've looked thru the User Guide and haven't found any reference to these features. I've looked on the RunRev web site, but everything is not up to date. So are we waiting for this documentation, or is it written up already? Can someone point me in the right direction concerning this?

LiveCode 4.5 License model
Hi all, Has anyone checked out runrev's store as yet? To navigate to it, open LiveCode and access Help | Buy a License... It will take you directly there. Mouse over the LiveCode Bundle package icons. You will see product information in a flyout. Now mouse over the LiveCode 4.5 Complete for the Commercial product. Notice the pricing at the bottom of the flyover. The yearly maintenance fee for this product is now US$749. How does that make you feel? Unless I'm mistaken on this yearly maintenance fee, I don't think I'll be maintaining my yearly upgrades from here on out. I can't afford that money, when I don't have a product that I'm selling. Maybe that will have to change for me. What about those building and distributing freeware or shareware? I don't see a license model for that. Now unless you use the Personal license, that will most probably work for you. But the user will have a nag screen on use of the freeware. Now for those who are selling products built in (now) LiveCode, do you realize how much your costs have increased? I'm just saying... so you are all aware.

I guess I get frustrated/annoyed if I were to build the same application in revStudio and also in VB6, the latter is so much easier to build a richer desktop application. I've tried to build the same objects/components in revStudio as are already in VB6. I've spent hours trying to do this, and in the end give up, because the objects in revStudio are not complete.

Forward and Reverse filtering a List field
Hi All, Platform: WinXP revStudio: 4.0 I'm building an app that populates SQL Server data into a list field that is defined as a table. The table data delimiter is the tab char. All this works fine. I'd like to build a filter system for the table data. The list would be filtered by typing a value into any column filter field, which is placed above each column. So if there are 4 columns, then there are 4 filter fields, having the possibility of an accumulative filter. Typing into or editing a filter field will filter the list for each character typed. Including backspacing a character or deleting any existing character. I've already built a prototype for this, and when typing a filter, the script works OK. In the on rawKeyDown handler, I first put the table data into a local variable and filter on it. Then put the variable back into the field. These ideas I got from searching the archive list. Problem is when I backspace a filter field character (conceptually reverting the filter), the data is not there, as it has already been filtered and put back into the field. Resulting in an incorrect data set. Question: so how do I build a filter system that can filter forward (typing ahead) and filter in reverse (editing existing filter value or filter revert)?

Re: Forward and Reverse filtering a List field
Hi Mike, First thanks for replying. How do I see/dl your attachment. I'm using the Browser to view the list, and therefore don't see any option for dl. Unless of course you also replied to my personal email, which I haven't received yet. Here's what I have so far... Stack objects: button: Load Accounts fld: Filter fld: List Load Button script: --=== global dbConnID, gList on mouseUp put revOpenDatabase(odbc,adaptSAMPLE) into dbConnID if dbConnID is not a number then answer error DB Connection error: dbConnID exit to top end if put SELECT Account_Number,Account_Name,Account_Manager FROM account ORDER BY Account_Name into tSQL put revDataFromQuery(,,dbConnID,tSQL) into fld List set the itemDel to tab sort lines of fld List by item 1 of each put fld List into gList --put the returned data into a global for use in the filter end mouseUp --=== fld List script: --=== global gList local tList on rawKeyDown put gList into tList put the text of me into tText filter tList with tText * put tList into fld List pass rawKeyDown end rawKeyDown --=== For each key stroke the script gets the original data and puts it into the local tList var. So it filters on the original data set for each key stroke. This could be slow. The Filter fld script seems to work, but the behavior is a little strange. When typing in the first character (for a starting value in the list I know is there), it does nothing - it does not filter. When I type the second character, it is like it is the first character typed in. It seems it's one character behind in applying the filter. What's up with that? Is my script anywhere near to work correctly and efficiently?

In other languages like JavaScript and Scheme that sort of thing is
referred to as a closure - here's an example from Wikipedia:
// Return a list of all books with at least 'threshold' copies sold.
function bestSellingBooks(threshold) {
return bookList.filter(
function (book) { return book.sales = threshold; }
);
}
But I don't know of a way to even emulate closures in RevTalk (though it
might be handy at times if we could).

Context menu for Header of DataGrid

How Do I Determine If a User Clicks In The Table Header How Do I Display a Contextual Menu When the User Clicks on a Column Trevor DeVore Hi Trevor, I followed your lessons with success. But now the mouseDown handler overrides any normal behavior of the DataGrid. That is, resizing of columns no longer works. Clicking on a column header no longer sorts a column. So it seems a else - end if section of script is needed to detect left mouse button, to complete normal behavior actions. Could you please amend the lesson to correct the missing behaviors?

Context menu for Header of DataGrid
Hi Trevor, I was wondering if there is a way to have 2 context menus for the DataGrid, 1 for the rows and one for the header? Where I'd like to have a different menu set for the header (pertinent to the DataGrid itself) and the rows context menu would be specific to the record itself. The header menu would be for DataGrid properties and the complete data set in the grid, like exporting to HTML or Excel.

revWebInstaller - Start button is not enabled
Hi all, Platform: WinXP SP3 Browser: IE 8 1) What do I need to do to get the Start button enabled on the revWebInstaller? I have ALL programs closed, including all browsers. I have set the Firewall to Off. And I've added a Firewall exception for the revWebInstaller.exe, just in case. Previous versions of the installer did enable the Start button. Also, previous versions did install the revWebBrowser, but the Loading plugin message always appears in the browser. 2) What do I need to do to get the plugin to load in the browser? The plugin installs and loads in IE 8 at home, but not at work. ?

In the end I checked Activity Monitor and found Safari was still running invisibly and had to force quit it. Then I could install the plugin. So I suggest checking your Task Manager and making sure there are no browsers lurking in the open processes. HTH, Sarah Hi Sarah, 1) That was indeed the problem. I noticed that revWebPlayer.exe was loaded as well as iexplorer.exe. I stopped the process on both of them, but iexplorer.exe kept on coming back. ??? So I stopped iexplorer and quickly started revWebInstaller. It started and the Start button was enabled. Clicked it, and it installed successfully. 2) The plugin is FINALLY working in IE8 on my work computer - yahoo!. This morning I played around with the Firewall by adding exceptions to the following files: nprevweb.dll revWebInstaller.exe revWebPlayer.exe Now they are working :) Thanx again, Mark Stuart ___ 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

Hot Tracking a text line in a field
Hi all, Platform: WinXP RunRev: 4.0 I've built a TreeView like field with parent nodes and indented child nodes. If you're familiar with Tree Views in Windows, you'll notice that as you mouse over a node in the tree, it underlines the text. And as you leave the node, it returns to plain formatting. I'd like to apply this behavior to my field. I've tried different mouse commands in the on mouseMove handler, but can't get the desired effect. How would I go about that?

Mac ODBC connection to MSSQL on Windows Server
Hi all, A colleague of mine wants to build a revWeb internet application that accesses data from a MSSQL Server on a Windows server. He wants to deploy this application as a cross platform application. How would he go about that, as the application has the revOpenDatabase(odbc...) in the scripts? And if using on ODBC connection on a Mac, the MSSQL ODBC driver has to be installed and a DSN defined as well, right? I've been building Windows deployed applications, and don't know what to tell him. Are there any ODBC MSSQL connection tutorials for cross platform applications?

Launching .rev files on WinXP
Written by Bill Andersen on Fri May 22, 2009 - 09:22 AM CDT OK, I guess I need the long weekend more than I realized... I have 3.5.0 build 870 on my WinXP Pro computer. When I double click on a .rev file, it luanches the Rev IDE, but it doesn't load the file. I must go to FileOpen and select the file. Then it will open. I right clicked on the .rev file and said Open with to see if it might correct the problem, but I don't even have the Revolution.exe file as an option. I browsed to the .exe and selected it, but it still won't show up in the list of available programs to open up the file... Anyone else seen this? Bill Hi Bill, I've found that applying the following changes, seems to fix things with this concern: 1) Open Windows Explorer 2) Select Tools Folder Options from the pulldown menu 3) Click on the File Types tab 4) hilite the REV Extension (typing REV will locate the line) 5) Click the 'Advanced' button 6) Select the 'Open' action and click the 'Edit...' button Now... In the 'Application used to perform action:' field, browse to the rev folder for which version of RunRev you want launched for ALL .rev files. The result of editing this, should look like this: C:\Program Files\Revolution Studio\3.5.0-gm-2\Revolution.exe %1 The %1 parameter is the file that is being selected to open by you.

Other stacks opening besides the one selected
Written by Mark Wieder on Fri May 15, 2009 - 01:33 AM CDT ??? WHY ??? Needless to say, this is a BAD place to put stacks. Unless you want them always to load, in which case it's still a bad place to put them. And so Mark W., did you try the recipe? Did it do what I explained and what this thread has been about? Mark, is this documented what you mention about stacks always loading if found in this folder location? If so, please reply with a doc and page number. (This notwithstanding the fact that this is default location that comes up every time you attempt to save a new stack, which IMO is one of the dumbest design decisions ever to come out of Scotland). Yes it's a free world and Scotland allows you to save your stack anywhere you'd like. That it default to this folder location raises thoughts about where I'd like to have my default location. That other software like MS Word allows such File Location defaults for its different file types, does not allow the request to go unanswered. For this reason maybe you/I would submit an enhancement request. Yes?

Other stacks opening besides the one selected
Written by Mark Wieder on Fri May 15, 2009 - 11:27 AM CDT Yes and yes. I'd say it's a script editor bug and you should write it up. GLX2 doesn't exhibit this behavior, the IDE's script editor does. Awesome :) thanx for testing and confirming this. I will report this issue to RunRev. Could you also vote on this? I'll reply with a bug number. I will correct myself about files loading automatically, I was thinking of lower down in the folder hierarchy. Nonetheless, common sense would seem to indicate that storing data files in the Program Files directory would seem a Bad Idea. My behavior has now changed to storing my .rev files in the root installation RunRev folder. I really thought there was an enhancement request for this, but I can't find it now. If you want to file one, I'd be happy to vote for it - this has always been a pain. I will submit an enhancement request for a .rev default File Location folder, that it be a Preference. I would say one could change this up from project to project. It may help some but not all. Like .NET, once you've defined your project, all files you create go into that project folder location. Maybe a future RunRev release would be project based. -- Regards, Mark Stuart Email has been scanned for viruses by Altman Technologies' email management service - www.altman.co.uk/emailsystems___ 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

Other stacks opening besides the one selected
Written by Kay C Lan on Thu May 14, 2009 - 9:08 PM CDT If you create a brand new stack, open it's stack script, do the original 4 stacks open in the Application Browser? If you save and restart Rev, open Stack 1, open a script, is that brand new stack now part of the list of stacks in the Application Browser? Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls. I think I've found out why 'the other stacks' are opening. Platform: WinXP RunRev: 3.5.0-gm-2 First of all. All 4 stacks that were listed in the App Browser were stacks that I had created. And they reside in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Revolution Studio\ The root installation folder of RunRev. It seems that this mysterious behavior happens if you have .rev files in this folder and you open one of these stacks, and then proceed to open the RunRev script editor. I'm not 100% sure if opening, or not opening the script editor is responsible for the opening of the other stacks. It maybe that making/taking some kind of action in the IDE is causing the result. Now open the Application Browser and see which stacks are listed. NOTE: Take note that if you already have the App Browser open, it doesn't automatically refresh the list when other stacks are opened in this way. You have to close and reopen it to refresh it. So I moved these 4 .rev files to another folder then I followed Kay's steps above. === Here's the recipe to duplicate the behavior I've been talking about. === Could someone duplicate these steps and reply to the list if the same issue happens, or not. Recipe to open stacks that were not selected: 1) Open RunRev 2) Create a stack, and give it a name: Stack1. Save the stack to the folder referenced above. Close and open RunRev. 3) Create another stack, and give it a name: Stack2. Save it to the same folder. Close and open RunRev. (closing and reopening RunRev is not really required where noted, I think. It's just to clear the OS environment) 4) Open Stack1 and check the App Browser. 1 stack listed: Stack1. 5) Now add a push button and name it 'Hello'. Give it a script: answer Hello. Close and open RunRev. 6) Do the same for Stack2, add a button: 'Goodbye'. Give it a script: answer Goodbye. Close and open RunRev. Now here's the mystery... 7) Open Stack 1. Right-click on the 'Hello' button and select 'Edit Script'. Close the script editor. 8) Open the App Browser. How many stacks are listed, and what are their names? Stack 1 and Stack2? If this is the case, then please reply to the list now. I need to know.

Other stacks opening besides the one selected
Written by Jacque: You're saying these stacks open without any direction to do so? Are they installed as plugins? Correct in that these stacks have not been directed to open by a script or a menu option to open them. None of the other stacks are plugins. This is the most unusual aspect of this whole thing. I just reproduced the issue again. Here are the steps I took: 1) open RunRev. 2) File/Open Stack... select a stack. Stack opens. 3) open Application Browser. One stack listed, the one I just opened. Close Application Browser. 4) In Edit mode, click on a push button and right-click/Edit Script. 5) Script editor opens. I close it. 6) open Application Browser. There are now 3 stacks listed. The selected stack and 2 others I've created in the past. None of these stacks are related to one another. None of these stacks use 'start using...' in a script.

Hi Jim, Everything in my RunRev IDE is RunRev only. No 3rd party add ons. No plugins are referenced or used (that I know of, that I've purposely selected) RunRev: 3.5.0-gm-2 Build 870 For searching, are you suggesting 'Edit/Find and Replace...'? If so, then I've searched on: In option: 'All open stacks' and 'All open stack files' - the stack name, 0 objects found - button name, 0 objects found - other objects that I know exist, 0 objects found Check boxes checked: Name, Script, Field Text, Button Text, All Other This is the first time I've used this and so not sure what to expect. No success on this one. -- Regards, Mark Stuart Email has been scanned for viruses by Altman Technologies' email management service - www.altman.co.uk/emailsystems___ 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
Other stacks opening besides the one selected
Written by Kay C Lan on Tue May 12, 2009 - 9:47 PM CDT What does the stack in question do? Have you done a global search to see if there is a 'start using' that has mysteriously appeared in your stack. Does the stack contain an openStack or openCard script. If so, if you place a breakpoint right at the beginning so that you can step through, when do the other stack open? Not a solution but hopefully it'll give you some clues ;-) Hi Kay, Platform: WinXP - The stack has 2 fields and 4 push buttons on it. One of the fields is a list of SQL database records and the other is populated from clicking on a line in the list, that then reads the database. - I have not placed a 'start using' script in the stack. But as you say, it may have mysteriously appeared, so I will search for that. - The stack does have all 3 preOpenStack, openStack, and closeStack scripts. I haven't placed a breakpoint yet, but will try that tomorrow. - The other stacks open immediately, with the File/Open Stack... menu selection. So when I select a stack and it has opened, there are the other stacks listed in the Application Browser. And again, the most recently opened ones.

Written by J. Landman Gay on Tue May 12, 2009 - 11:28 PM CDT The stacks may not have their destroystack property set to true. If destroystack is false (which is Rev's default) the stack is not active and not in the message path, but it isn't really closed either. It remains in RAM and I think the app browser still sees it. Hi Jacque, In response to this, please read my reply to Kay. In it I mention that the other stacks are opened with the stack I select to open. All this from once opening RunRev, and then selecting the File/Open Stack... menu option. And these 'other' stacks are in different folders, not all in the one place. I've looked at the Main Stack property of the Inspector and none are related to one another. -- Regards, Mark Stuart ___ 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

Written by Jim Bufalini on Wed May 13, 2009 - 00:00 AM CDT This is turning into 20 questions. ;-) Can you send the names of some of these .rev files opening up? Sounds like plugins or? since you didn't say you have windows opening up but files appearing in the application browser. If you list the names, maybe someone will recognize them. If they are your files, then something in your code is doing it. Hi Jim, Sorry about that chief :-) But all the .rev files are ones that I've named and built from scratch. All created using File/New Stack. I open this stack: ReadHTMLNotes.rev and the following appear in the Application Browser: (all totally unrelated to the selected stack) ContactList.rev ArchiveList.rev CompareFiles.rev Just to name a few. Do these look like they might be related to Rev files in some way, and therefore will open and appear in the Application Browser? -- Regards, Mark Stuart ___ 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

Controlling PowerPoint From Within Runtime Revolution
Hi John, I just built a stack to try what you are doing. I also downloaded and installed MS Powerpoint Viewer. I put a field on the stack with the name Filename. In a button, I used the following script to open the powerpoint file using the viewer. on mouseUp if fld Filename is not empty then put fld Filename into thePPS launch thePPS with C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\PowerPoint Viewer\pptview.exe else answer no file selected end if end mouseUp In the field I typed: C:\temp\MyPresentation.pps. This file I created in MS Powerpoint, saving it as a pps file type. It launched the power point. I ran the slide show. It quit and the focus returned to where I launched it, the RunRev application. Where ever you launch the slide show from, the focus should return to its originating place. Unless of course, the user goes to another opened application. Then the focus may not return.

Wrapping long pathnames in narrow fields
Written by Terry Judd on Thu Apr 2, 2009 - 4:19 PM CDT How do people deal with displaying long pathnames in Rev fields that aren't wide enough to display the entire string in one line? Is there any solution other than iteratively testing the formatted width of substrings and inserting returns? Terry... Hi Terry, If the stack is an interactive stack, in other words if the user can park in fields, etc., then you could: 1) set the tooltip of fld PathName to (the text of fld PathName) AND/OR 2) apply Geometry to the PathName field, so that it extends to the right upon resizing the stack, which will display more of the text in the field.

Docking Panes
Written by Thomas McGrath III :: Mar 23, 2009 - 00:46 AM Mark, I have an interest. But haven't done anything about it yet. Why? So you've seen and experienced the docking pane? Background as to why: Here at my work, the owner of the company wants to use the CodeJock ActiveX's more and more in our CRM product. (not built in RunRev) Their other product (ERP) written in .NET uses it extensively, actually, a lot: Report Control, Docking Panes, etc. from CodeJock. So I got to thinking, this Docking Pane, at least, could be built as a plug-in for RunRev developers. Why not, right? A few objects and some decent commands and functions could give purpose to a better UI for the end users. And the way the developer can build an application. I was thinking: could it be built in an open source environment? I haven't done that before in RunRev, but here at work we do it in a similar fashion. Develop local, merge to masters on the server. So I'm wondering if any one is interested in this as a group project?

conditionally formatting a field
Hi Jan, I tried the 'Appearance Manager'. It looks interesting, but for the gain in what it gives, I lose the real look and feel of the native platform. I do have the 'threeD' property unchecked and the 'borderWidth' set to 1. If you are on Windows, look at how Outlook behaves with the Find / 'Look for' and 'Search In' edit controls. Mouse over and out of these controls. Now put the cursor in the 'Look for' edit control, and then mouse over and out again. This is the behavior I'm looking to do. Kind of basic stuff, but can't get it with RunRev. So here's a question that may help with this: Programmatically, when do I know that a text field has focus? Something like: 'if the Focus of me is true then' - I tried the focusIn and focusOut - nothing from them. - Obviously openField, exitField, and closeField work no problem And mouseEnter and mouseLeave have to work with this also.
