Rev ACG for Kagi
I've been discussing (and started) developing Rev CGI for ACG with Ty. Looks like we might have a rev only solution very soon. Apparently I'm the first person to ask about Rev ACG. Cheers Monte I've made a stack to generate license codes, but I need to let it works with Kagi payment system (I don't know anything about CGI); Kagi wrote this to me: You need to get the application to respond as a CGI, conforming to the ACG spec. The Spec can be downloaded here: http://www.kagi.com/acg/Specifications/ACGSpecification.html A CGI is a command line application. I am sure that RRR has CGI frameworks. ty There is some sample of Rev ACG to get, process and back CGI data (license code) to the Kagi payment system?

Re: Copies of your app running on the local net
Suppose that you want to accommodate for the possibility to change user names. You would have to supply new license codes all the time. This doesn't only undermine the protective power of your licensing scheme, it also increases the danger of old license codes being lost and found by opportunists. Additionally, it demands an increasingly large amount of resources from your support department, due to the complexity of your license scheme. And Most people who pirate software will never become customers anyway. Taking funding away from customer-centric enhancements and marketing rarely pays bigger dividends than focusing on the experience of the legitimate user. You're right. But do you think the best solution is to make a simple semi-universal license code that will travel over the internet together with your app? Maybe. All depends from the percentage of piracy affecting your app. Surely any protection can be hacked and all apps can be cracked, but the problem is that one thing is to hack crack, another thing is simply to copy the 'universal' serial for your app from the serial databases easily available on the internet. Probably marketing studies will confirm that is better to 'accept' some piracy, but letting your customer a very easy license code use. I hope someone will discover a method (other than $USER or E-net address) to solve this old question.

Copies of your app running on the local net
Two shareware questions: 1) There is a way to determine if there is more than one copy of your app running on a local net (to check the use of the right shareware license by your customer)? 2) To create a license code for your customer that include the computer User Name ($USER - to avoid illegal duplications and distributions), may cause some contraindication?

Re: Copies of your app running on the local net
Thanks Mark. reply 1) Yes, you can broadcast a UDP request and make all copies on the network send (part of) their serial number to compare them with the serial number of the newly opened copy of your application. Did you know if exists some example stack around, to perform and answer to an UDP request? reply 2) Yes, you can use USER$ on some platforms, but not all. You can also use MAC address, label of the hard disk, IP address and other characteristics. However, I will never buy software that requires me to provide information like this, because I know it will be a hassle to install the software on a new machine. Besides, there is a hack for each protection measure which makes it difficult to decide how much to invest in protection. I thought that $USER should be valid because: 1) a license is valid, in effect, only for one user (think about a corporate with hundred of stations that buy a copy of your app). 2) For a single user with 2 computers, in most of the cases he will have the same account user name on both, and you can also add a button in your site to automatically furnish a new code to a registered user. I don't think to invest very much in protection, but a simple - universal - license code, will put too easily your app in the pirates market.

My modified stack has only 5 radio buttons (0 - 1 min - 5 min - 10 min - 15 min), and uses the revSave command to made a quickest save of mainstacks and substacks. The stack is also smaller (I've always little space on my monitor screen) and has a new button to instantly save now. You should put this stack in the plug-ins folder, as the original one.

Standalone builder bug in 2.7 - very little tip
The standalone builder is not including the plugins necessary to display OS X themes. For now, you can copy them from the Revolution application bundle (copy the entire Plugins folder) and paste them into your standalone. If you don't know how to do that, ask and we can help you.

Re: Type a text from a palette stack to an external window
Hi Sarah, But I would need a palette the floats in front of all windows on the screen, not just the windows of my main application, to be available from any other app (a text editor, an email client, etc.).

Hi Lynn, unfortunately this does not work for me. Perhaps the problem is that my stack has a systemWindow style.

Unfortunately, you're right, Paul. If you have two images with the same ID open at the same time, you can't assign an icon to a button by ID and be able to clearly pick which one you want. So you either need to renumber the IDs (temporarily), or only open one stack at a time and make sure the destroyStack property is turned on so that it is purged from memory when it closes.

Set the icon to (icon of another stack)
Hi, Paul, Don't confuse the script of an object in the hierarchy with the order of stack windows you ³see². Invoking 'start using' places the *stack script* of that stack in the *message* hierarchy, not the stack itself. Construct a reference to a stack by name and that will be the location eg image 1 of card id 1265 of stack Image Lib People Also if stored in a different folder use ³/Users/MyLogin/Documents/RevLibStacks/ImageLib.rev² for example. In Rev, the filePath is the location and name of the file or folder whose long equivalent you want. put the longfilepath of the filename of this stack If you specify a name but not a location, Revolution assumes the stack is in the defaultFolder. Hi Jim, My problem is a little different. Think to have 3 open stacks, named x1, x2 and x3, and opened in this order. Stack X2 and Stack X3 have two images with the same ID (i.e. 1008). How you set the icon of a button in stack x1 with the image id 1008 of stack x3? 1) Using: set the icon of btn y to 1008 shows the icon of stack x2 2) Using: set the icon of btn y to (image ID 1008 of stack thelongfilepath) shows nothing 3) 'Start using' or 'set defaultStack' does'nt change the things. ___ 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

Hi Paul, There is a way to tell to Revolution to look in stack X before the other open stacks, even if they have been loaded previously? start using stack X places stack X ahead of all other library stacks in the message chain; but it will not place it ahead of the topStack. The images may need to be on card 1 if the stack is in use but otherwise unopened. I have suggested previously, but never seriously explored, the possibility that one could change the look and feel of an app with one start using statement that toggled between two library stacks containing different sets of images with the same ids. Hi Rob, I've tried your tip, but it seems that the start using stack method works for scripts but not to 'link' images as icons. Maybe Revolution use another message path hierarchy for this.

on SetImageSource pImageName,pField,pChar,pHeight create invisible image set the botright of last image to -1,-1 -- off-screen put image pImageName into last image set the lockloc of last image to true set the name of last image to pImageName Thumb set the height of last image to 14 set the width of last image to (the width of img Ref / the height of img Ref) * pHeight set the imageSource of char pChar of fld pField to pImageName Thumb end SetImageSource Thanks, Eric, it works: the only problem is to copy all the images into your stack with consequents problems of memory and speed, but I understand that yours is the only solution. Only setting the icon of a button you can obtain to show the image trimmed without copying it.

ImageSource with images of various sizes
I have a list field with the first char of each line as image through the imageSouce property, setted dinamically; the problem is that if an image is big, the field became fool, unreadable. There is a way to show an image that must have a maximum size as the list field need (using always the imageSouce property, no buttons grouped, etc.) ? ___ 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
Access Address Book or iCal
On 21 feb Joel Guillod asked for this: Is there a way to access to the Mac OS X Address Book from Revolution? I found that RealBasic provides classes to do this so you can read from or write to the Address Book. Someone knows a way to access Address Book or iCal files without using AppleScript? ___ 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
Shared menus
Richard Gaskin wrote: Dude, don't get me started. While I have apps written for Win95 that continue to run without difficulty in Microsoft's latest OS, on Mac we've had to port from 68k to PPC, and then from Classic to OS X, and even now stuff break between releases of OS X. You have reason, but it must consider also that XP is only little different from Windows 98, while Classic and MacOsX are example of a core and GUI real progress. However, if someone knows a workaround in order to realize a shared menu, it will be the welcome. ___ 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
Shared menus
Is there anybody who knows if Revolution may create shared menus (the menus that appears on the right side of the menubar and are available from any application)? ___ 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
Shared menus
Thanks Richard, but you surely know that many non-apple appications override this rules, directly or through the Shared Menus Enhancer or the haxies by Unsanity; I have in my menu bar iKey, Metereologist, MenuCalendarClock, ABDialer, MainMenu, and there are many othe similar apps. There is a way to use this also through Revolution? ___ 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
Shared menus
I need, as for ABDialer or Jon's Phone Tool, to make a menu available from any app with the possibility to make a phone call, choosing an address, etc. ___ 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
CS Notification Center
As I understand, this can be a method (other than applescript) to quickly exchange informations within applications; i know that other application posts notifications to the distributed notification center and your client program can register to receive them, but I don't know, in my Rev client program, how to register and receive such informations. ___ 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

Icon menus on the right side of the menubar
Is there anybody who knows a way to place a menu as system menu, i.e. a global menu that you may access by every open application in the right side of menubar, as those managed by the SystemUIServer? I'd like to create an app that became invisible, letting only a little menu icon on the right side of the menubar, as MenuCalendarClock or WheatherMan does. Any suggest? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Combo-box/popup menu in a list field?
Hi Jan, Can you send me your stack? I have the same problem of Valetia, to put option-menu buttons to each row of a specified column in a scrolling list field. Thanks Paul ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
