Re: New user question

2009-08-13 Thread Paul Gabel

Hi Steve:

If you don't get an adequate solution to your problem, you can always  
keep the stack visible and set its location to -1000,-1000. Then, when  
you want it visible, just  set the loc of stack Invisible to the  
screenLoc  or wherever you want it.

I put the beep in to test to be sure it was running.

The error I get is:

I've tried combinations of open, show, go, set invisible, and use  
the stack name and the stack ID.


Always the same error.

(I love the  idea of substacks, btw).  From the main stack I want  
to open a  substack but keep it invisible,  then later show it.   
In SuperCard it  would be:

open invisible project projectName
show project projectName (or:  set the invisible of project   
projectName to true)

I seem to be able to use
open invisible stack stackName
at least I don't get an error.  But later in the script when I try  
to  show or set the visible of the stack to true, I get an error  
that the  stack can't be found.

What am I missing?


What do those lines that are throwing errors look like?

Re: Fields appearance

2009-07-27 Thread Paul Gabel

Bill:

Here's a thought about upgrading the appearance of your fields (but  
not about rounded corners). Drag a datagrid from the palette, set it  
to the size of your field, then capture its image with command- 
shift-4. Import the image, then place it behind your field. Set the  
textHeight of your field to 21. This looks very nice.

For example, I'd like to round the corners of the field. The only  
way I know how to do it is to put a graphic over the field that has  
rounded corners but that seems pretty tedious and clunky.


The look of the fields seems a bit dated so I'd like to dress them up.

Re: Strange button

2009-07-16 Thread Paul Gabel

Hi Sarah:

Thanks for your suggestions. However, experimenting with the layers  
doesn't seem to help. When I maneuver the troublesome button (actually  
it's an image/control) to the front or the back layer of the controls  
within the group, it doesn't change the situation. No other image/ 
control within this group has this problem, so it has to be something  
inside its 350 lines of script. (BTW, The image/control has a  
blendLevel of 0.)


The salient fact is that when I use option-command-click on the image/ 
control (residing in the group), the script editor shows the card  
script rather than the image/control script (there is no group script).


Any other thoughts on this subject would sure be welcome.

Check the Application Browser to see where your button and it's group

Re: Strange button

2009-07-16 Thread Paul Gabel

Hi Sarah:

I found the problem, and anyone on the list who doesn't already know  
this might find it interesting. Originally I had used a button, but  
then I switched to an image/control. Embedded within the 350 lines of  
script were two little words left over from when I was using a button:  
disable me. (This was temporary, while another action was  
occurring.) I had always assumed that you couldn't disable an image,  
as there's no checkbox for it in the Object Inspector. But, it seems,  
if you disable an image by script (disable me), you will make it  
transparent to a click. Is this a feature or a bug?


Anyway, it's working now.

Right, but it looked to me like he only wanted to sort the

tabGroupBehavior question

2009-06-06 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello List:

I have 2 fields, one named First Name and the other named Last  
Name. Both have lock text set to false. I placed them in a group  
named Full Name. Then: set the tabGroupBehavior of group Full Name

field, hit the tab key and be transported to the second field.


The Rev dictionary says: If the tabGroupBehavior is false, pressing  
the Tab key moves through the fields and other controls in the group  
in order, without skipping.


What could I be doing wrong? Thank you for any tips.

Basic DataGrid question

2009-06-06 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello List:

Today I'm trying datagrids for the first time. I'm collecting data in  
a field Collector with a dozen or so lines, and four columns set  
using: set the tabStops of field Collector to 100,100, etc. Then,  
after many lines of data have been collected, I use:


put fld Collector into pText
set the dgText [ pFirstLineContainsHeaders ] of group Final Display  
to pText


Final Display is the datagrid.

This works great! But, before I put the field into the datagrid I need  
to do an operation on the third item in each line and put the result  
into the fourth item in each line. An item, of course, is not an  
item. It's text in a column (I have vGrid set to true). But I can't  
figure out how to access it. I've tried various delimiters, but  
nothing works. I can't just say: Get the number in column 3, operate  
on it, then put the result in column 4.


I'm trying to avoid using arrays (because they confuse me).

Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Notification of internet use in Rev standalone

2008-10-06 Thread Paul Gabel

Hi Rick:

I think you have a good point about exams having to be monitored.  
Modern technology can sometimes become cheating technology. As for the  
length of the exam, that would be completely up to the exam writer.  
And, yes, the exams can be timed. If you'd like (assuming you have a  
Mac), take a look at it by typing ExamMaster into Macupdate's search  
box and downloading it.


Thanks for you suggestions.

Hi Paul,

I think you are trying to take your software too far.  You won't be  
able to guard
against the use of internet cell phones especially for exams which  
are unsupervised.
An unsupervised exam also allows students to communicate with each  
other
about the test so they can still get answers even without access to  
the internet.


That is why important exams are always monitored by a teacher.  Your  
software
will never be able to take over the important role of the Monitor in  
the room.


Sometimes, teachers make exams so long that the students will not have
enough time to answer all of the questions.  I once had an open book  
exam
where there were so many questions that you didn't have the time to  
open the
book at all. One just had to know all of the material to be able to  
answer the

questions.

Have you built a timer into your exam software so that when the time  
is up

the student can no longer work on it?

Good luck with your project!

Rick

Re: Notification of internet use in Rev standalone

2008-10-05 Thread Paul Gabel

Hi Rick:

I'm developing a rev app named ExamMaster where users take exams on a  
Mac (perhaps unsupervised), and I want to deter them from looking up  
answers on the internet. I certainly don't think of this as spyware.

Hi Paul,

Isn't this like spyware?

I'm sure there is probably a way to do it, but why do you want to do  
it?

If you are looking for ways to protect your software there are a few
methods you can use that don't involve creating spyware.

Let me know!

Hi Paul,

The suspend and resume messages might be more what you're  
looking for. They're sent when your Rev app loses/gains focus as the  
frontmost app currently running.


There's always shell() to get info from the OS. For example, to get  
all apps in the Applications folder that are running, you can do  
this:


on mouseUp
 put shell(ps -A) into tData
 filter tData with */Applications/*
 put tData into fld 1
end mouseUp

Then you would at least what apps are running.


On the Mac there's probably something you can do with AppleScript to  
find out what's running, but someone else will have to address that.


The only way I can think of to really prevent net access outside of  
Rev is to run a proxy server on the client that is set up to do that.


If you'll be using shell() much, you might find this Rev plug-in  
useful:

Does anyone know what Could not merge changes means? Using rev 3.0

Re: Rev 3.0 problems

2008-09-15 Thread Paul Gabel

Hi Peter:

By any chance, do you have an if the optionKey is down ... line in  
your button's script? I've noticed that in 2.9, option-command-click  
on a button (with this line in the button's script) wouldn't trigger  
the underlying optionKey procedure, but in 3.0 (irritatingly) it does.

I do like 3.0 a lot, but there are two things that are annoying to  
me. Has anyone else noticed these?


1) In the new script editor, right-clicking/control-clicking on a  
function or handler hame is supposed to open a script editor panel  
for that function/handler, whichever object's script it might be in.  
This works for me about 20% of the time. I haven't pinned down a  
pattern to it, if there is one. Most of the time I get the generic  
Go to definition/Find in Docs/Set breakpoint/cut/copy/paste popup  
menu, the way I would if I right-clicked on any random word in the  
script.


2) More annoyingly, it used to be in versions = 2.9 that command- 
option[alt]-clicking (in the IDE) on a button/locked field/graphic  
while using the browse tool used to open the script editor for that  
control. Now, it opens the script editor but also passes the mouseup  
-- so trying to do this on a button opens the script but then  
triggers the button action. This is especially problematic when I  
then get a cannot save script while executing alert after editing  
and trying to save the script. For now, I have to change to the edit  
tool before command-option-clicking on a button to edit its script.  
I tried to look into the Rev 3.0 frontscripts to find out where and  
how the mouseup message is being passed but I can't find the place  
where I could tweak the rev scripts to patch this. Anyone else see  
this behavior? Whether yes or no to that question, any pointers on  
how I can block the pass mouseup in the rev scripts?


BTW, Jacques, I have loved using your script editor shortcuts and I  
patched your frontscript so it works for me in the new script  
editor. Don't know if you want to release a 3.0 update of this for  
others...

Seeking volunteer Mac tester for new Rev standalone

2008-06-27 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello everyone:

I've been working for quite a while on a rev application called  
ExamMaster. It's almost ready for release (free to anyone on this  
list), but I need three small tests run by another Macintosh user. You  
would need to download the standalone from my iDisk Public Folder,  
then check 1) a stack opening question, 2) a font display question,  
and 3) an email question. I will just need a reply as to whether  
behavior on your end is as I expect.


If you're willing, email me off list and I'll explain the details.  
Thank you very much in advance.

Field creation manipulation in a standalone?

2008-04-22 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello everyone:

I wonder if it's possible for me to set up my stack so that a user in  
the standalone can create a field, drag it to whatever size he or she  
desires, and then return to the browse tool. I want the user in the  
standalone to be able to drag out the size and shape of the field.


When I create a button with the script ...

on mouseUp
  set the tool to field
end mouseUp

... in the IDE, then make a standalone, then click on the button in  
the standalone, I get crosshairs. When I then click or attempt to drag  
out a field, I get a 1 millimeter square (presumably a field), but I  
can't do anything with it. Not only that, but I can no longer click on  
any button.


If this is possible, any hints as to how to go about it would be  
greatly appreciated.

Re: Dialog Stack Design Questions

Len and Robert:

Another solution is to designate one card in your stack as the dialog  
card, title it Information, and place a field, a Cancel button, and  
an OK button on it. Then place the dialog information into the field  
by script as shown below. This method is very flexible and conserving  
of resources.


global theOK

on linkClicked -- linked text in this particular case
  put 2 into theOK
  put  into field Info of card Information
  go card Information
  wait while theOK = 2 with messages
  if theOK = 1 then go recent card -- occurs when the user clicks on  
the OK button on card Information

end linkClicked

In the OK button on card Information include the handler:

global theOK

on mouseUp
  put 1 into theOK
end mouseUp

FIND AND REPLACE: Is this a bug?

3) Check (√): Script
   Check (√): Button Text
   Check (√): All Other

4) Click on the Find button

What happens to me is that the blue progress bar moves along for a few  
seconds, then Revolution disappears (crashes). I tested this several  
times, always with the same result. Maybe this button-checking  
combination shouldn't be used.

Rev 2.9 beta buttons won't move (trying again)

2007-12-11 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello everyone:

When I build a standalone using Rev 2.9 beta 9, my rectangle buttons
will neither play a sound nor move according to the scripts below,
even though they work perfectly in the IDE.

on mouseDown   -- in the button script
   moveButtons
end mouseDown

-

on moveButtons -- in the main stack script
   set the playloudness of audioClip Click 3.aif to 50
   play audioClip Click 3.aif
   move the target relative 2,2 in 4 ticks
   move the target relative -2,-2 in 4 ticks
end moveButtons

Standalone error message problem

2007-12-09 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello everyone:

Even though I built standalones using Rev 2.8.1 before, all of a  
sudden I'm getting the error message You don't have one of the  
selected engines. Then the standalone building process stops. I can't  
find any reference to this in the docs. This does not happen when I  
build a standalone of the same stack in Rev 2.9 beta 9. Can anyone  
tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Rev 2.9 button problem

2007-12-09 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello everyone:

When I build a standalone using Rev 2.9 beta 9, my rectangle buttons  
will neither play a sound nor move according to the scripts below,  
even though they work perfectly in the IDE.


on mouseDown   -- in the button script
  moveButtons
end mouseDown

-

on moveButtons -- in the main stack script
  set the playloudness of audioClip Click 3.aif to 50
  play audioClip Click 3.aif
  move the target relative 2,2 in 4 ticks
  move the target relative -2,-2 in 4 ticks
end moveButtons

Usually the button script (other included commands) will function, but  
sometimes not. I filed a bug report about this with quality control,  
but now I'm wondering if anyone else has observed this problem, or  
could try to duplicate it in the 2.9 beta. Thank you.

Rev 2.9 beta 9 script editor problem

Hello everyone:

Can anyone using the latest Rev 2.9 beta verify this? In the script

Decolorizing scripts?

2007-12-03 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello everyone:

Do any of you know how to decolorize scripts? Colorize is in the  
Scripts menu, but not the reverse. I searched the docs with the word  
color, but found no appropriate command. Sometimes doing a Find  
inadvertently decolorizes them, but now that I want that to happen it  
won't. Standalones don't need colorized scripts, that's why I'm  
asking. Somewhere I read the advice that decolorizing should be done  
before building a standalone.

Paul,

You can do this by opening the script, selecting all the text, then  
choosing Text  Color  Use Default Color from the menu.

Have you ever seen this error dialog?

2007-10-17 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello everybody:

Have any of you seen this error dialog?

There was an error when setting the script. The error was: Object:  
Can't set script while it is executing. Your changes have not been  
applied.


I started getting this while editing scripts yesterday. Once it pops  
up, you can't apply the script or close the script editor. You have  
to click on Revert, then close. There's no way to delete the button  
that held the script, except by quitting Rev altogether. If the  
button held a large script, I had to create a new button, copy and  
paste the script, save, quit, reopen, then delete the original  
button. This happened half a dozen times yesterday and a few times  
today. I have no idea what got it started, and I can find no pattern  
for triggering it. I've been using Rev since June and have never seen  
it until yesterday.


I'd really appreciate some advice, as it's driving me nuts (nuttier).

Re: on enterKey not working

2007-10-14 Thread Paul Gabel
A big thank you to Randy Hengst, Jim Ault, Bjornke von Gierke,  
Sarah Reichelt, and Kay Lan.


Just to update you, I still cannot use on enterKey effectively.  
This is the handler I want to place at the card level ...


on enterKey
  click at the loc of btn Continue
end enterKey

The problem isn't that I can't tell the Enter Key from the Return  
Key, as was suggested (I've been using a Mac since 1984). The problem  
isn't lockMessages, since it's reset to false at the end of each  
handler. The problem isn't default buttons, because I don't have any  
set on the card I'm experimenting on.


I commented out every on enterKey in my 3 stacks and put Jim's  
suggestion ...


on enterkey
  answer you are in the stack script, and a bit too far into the  
heirarchy

end enterkey

... in my mainstack. It brings up the answer dialog box all right.

All of this experimenting has led me to conclude that the problem  
involves focus and the focusedObject function. I have several  
controls on cards that users respond to. If the user (that's me in my  
experiments) enters text in a field or clicks on a radio button,  
these controls get the focus (typing put the focusedObject in the  
message box reveals this). But I can't set the focus to none (I  
tried), and I can't set the focusedObject to the card, where the on  
enterKey script resides (since it's a function, not a property). So  
it seems that after a user responds, some control will always have  
the focus, and, when I press the Enter Key, Rev sends the enterKey  
message to it instead of the card.


I'm on the verge of abandoning on enterKey, but if anyone has any  
more suggestions I'd love to hear them. Thank you again.

Emailing from within Revolution

2007-10-13 Thread Paul Gabel
As an intermediate Revolution user, I'd like my standalone to be able  
to send an email by script completely within Revolution, not, as  
revMail does, require the user to explicitly send it from the email  
application (in my case — Apple's Mail program). I've looked at Shao  
Sean's libSMTP and Altuit's altEmailHarness, but these look rather  
complicated for me and were written at the end of 2005. Is there  
anything easier, more built-in, and more recent? Thank you.

on enterKey not working

2007-10-13 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello everybody:

Do any of you know why I get no response from the on enterKey  
handler? The following handler is on the card where the button  
Continue resides. The docs say: The message is sent to the active  
(focused) control, or to the current card if no control is focused.   
But there is no focus on any control, and there is no text field  
active.  When I hit the enter key, nothing happens — there is no  
beep, and there is no effect on the button Continue. Am I missing  
something embarrassingly obvious?


on enterKey

  send mouseUp to btn Continue
  click at the loc of btn Continue  
end enterKey

Hi Sarah:

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I pressed Enter (and not Return). And I  
know those 2 lines duplicate each other. I was just trying to see if  
ANYTHING would respond. (And my keyboard doesn't seem to be broken.)  
The simple situation seems to be that on enterKey is not receiving  
the pressing the Enter key message. Can you think of any other  
suggestions?

I just tested your script Paul, and it works perfectly for me. Are you
sure you are pressing Enter and not Return?

BTW, as written, your script will run the Continue button's mouseUp
script twice.

On behalf of Daniels  Mara and in partnership with Runtime

This faster-smaller-better point release has a lot of punch:

1. Binary is ONE THIRD the size of its predecessor.
2. Most major operations are TWICE AS FAST.
3. It has several new features requested by our users.
4. Until the end of October, there are a couple ways to get it

Details of the 2.0.1 Release:

* GLX2 binary is one third the size of v2.0.0 and auto-updates  
itself three times faster.
* Opening, editing, typing, clairvoyance and most major  
functionality is twice as fast.
* A new Status Bar now attaches itself seamlessly to the bottom of  
the Revolution Dock and then shows either status messages or the  
name of the object beneath the mouse pointer.
* Three new script formatting features now make your code even more  
readable at a glance.
* Handler lists now have icons indicating whether they are private,  
public or custom property handlers.
* Extended Bread Crumbs option creates a more detailed history by  
adding the name of any handler that you have modified to the Crumb  
Bar.

* Registration code can now be updated within GLX2.
* Change history and license expiration date can be viewed instantly.
* Execution errors now handled through standard Revolution error

Same great features of 2.0.0: tabbed code browsing, clairvoyance,

They're just faster and in some cases enhanced with new functionality.

Do stacks have controllable levels?

2007-09-26 Thread Paul Gabel

Hello everybody:

I have a large stack and a small stack (Let's call the latter Panel  
x).

   
|   | ||
|   | ||
|   | ||
|   | ||
|___| ||

From a script, Panel x needs to slide behind the right side of the  
large stack and switch to another panel (Panel y) which slides back  
out. The problem is that I can't consistently control which is on top.


1. I tried drawer Panel x but the stack disappeared. The only way I  
could get it back was by quitting Rev and reopening. Anyway, I'm  
aiming for cross-platform.


2. I tried to keep the large stack on top by temporarily using modal  
or systemWindow, but both cause the large stack to close and reopen  
which is unsightly. If I use lock screen, the large stack turns white  
during the process.


Sometimes Panel x slides on top the first time I do it and then  
slides behind the second time. Is there a consistent method of  
controlling stack levels? Thank you.

rawKeyDown and key codes

In the Docs under rawKeyDown I find this sample script ...

  on rawKeyDown theKeyNumber
if theKeyNumber is 65308 then increaseScroll -- mouse wheel down
else if theKeyNumber is 65309 then decreaseScroll -- mouse wheel up
else pass rawKeyDown -- don't forget this!
  end rawKeyDown

place. I know it's just a rawKeyDown parameter here, but how would I,  
for example, determine theKeyNumber for a comma so that I can trap

You can always create a dummy field with  the script:

on rawKeyDown pKey
  put pKey
end rawKeyDown

Then type the comma in the field and you'll get your result.

My deepest apologies to both of you. After staring at the computer

Instead, a number should be appear in the message box. That will be  
the number you want.


For your convenience I made a step by step guide:

1. Make a new stack
2. Drag a field from the tools palette to your stack
3. Open the script of that field, and input the following lines:
on rawKeyDown pKey
   put pKey
end rawKeyDown
4. Change to the browse (or run) tool, by clicking the arrow in the  
tools palette

5. Click on the field with the script
6. Hit any key on your Keyboard (I guess you're interested in the  
comma)

7. In the message box, the number of the key appears (for comma: 44)

sorry if this seems overly pushy

  on rawKeyDown theKeyNumber
if theKeyNumber is 65308 then increaseScroll -- mouse wheel  
down
else if theKeyNumber is 65309 then decreaseScroll -- mouse  
wheel up

else pass rawKeyDown -- don't forget this!
  end rawKeyDown

... but I can't figure out how to get theKeyNumber in the first
place. I know it's just a rawKeyDown parameter here, but how  
would I,
for example, determine theKeyNumber for a comma so that I can  
trap

for it? Is there a list some place? Thanks.


You can always create a dummy field with  the script:

on rawKeyDown pKey
  put pKey
end rawKeyDown

Then type the comma in the field and you'll get your result.

Re: Escaping from Repeat loops

2007-09-14 Thread Paul Gabel

repeat xNumberOfTimes
  global doCancelVariable

  -- My Code Here

  wait 1 tick with messages
  if doCancelVariable = true then
 exit to top
  end if
   end repeat


Maybe I'm missing your point, but why not just write:


global doCancelVariable

repeat until doCancelVariable = true

  -- My Code Here

   end repeat

white windows/stacks?

2007-08-22 Thread Paul Gabel

Hi everybody:

Do any of you know all of the reasons (or as many as you can think  
of) why opening a stack by script could cause it to show white and  
blank? This happens to me sometimes. In the Rev Window menu, the  
blank window is checked, and when I manually item-select it the blank  
window returns to normal. This will happen repeatedly with the same  
window. Is it a memory issue?


Thanks for any contributions.

Telling which stack is active?

2007-08-18 Thread Paul Gabel

Hi everybody:

I have 6 stacks with their windows open at the same time. Some are  
hidden behind other stacks and then slide out from underneath (like a  
drawer). But I can't figure out a way within scripts to tell which  
stack is the active one, the one the cursor has last clicked on,  
the one that is checked in the Windows menu. How can I do something  
like: if stack ABC is theActiveStack then ...  ?


This problem is frustrating me, and I sure would appreciate a little  
help.

Re: no selection rectagle with screen grab?

2007-08-17 Thread Paul Gabel
I have an iMac Intel 20 inch, and my Snapshot experience is the same  
as Richard's and opposite from Sarah's. Snapshot works all right, but  
there is no a gray translucent rectangle to help guide you.

It works for me Richard (Rev 2.8.1 Build 472, Mac OS X 10.4.10). I see
the cross-hair cursor and when I drag, a gray translucent rectangle
shows what I am getting.

My deepest apologies. I meant to send this tiny stack to list member  
Mark Swindell (who understood the point), but accidentally sent it to  
the whole list. I'll be more careful.

Re: 1 5 10 25 50

2007-08-17 Thread Paul Gabel
To those of you who so imaginatively tried to solve this problem as  
some sort of mathematical progression, here is the email that Mark  
Swindell sent to me. As I mentioned, I accidentally replied to the  
list instead of Mark personally.


Hi Paul,

Maybe you can help me with this ... I know it should be very simple,  
but:
In a variable lTheCoins I have the words 1 5 10 25 50. If I get  
word 1 of this variable, it = 1. If I give the command ...


replace it with empty in lTheCoins

word 1 is replaced with empty, but so is character 1 of word 3 (10  
becomes 0 ... the remaining words in lTheCoins are now 5 0 25 50, but  
there is no zero coin). I only want to replace the whole word 'it,'  
not each instance of it [not every 1]. What's the way to get the  
proper behavior?


Mark

Mark said he's since solved it, but I haven't seen his solution yet.  
Here's mine:



... but I'd love to see any improvements.

Hi Scott:

Sorry. I should have followed your original instructions. It looked  
like a web link in Mail.


Your Spotlight stack is beautiful, graphically and in its apparent  
simplicity!!!
