Re: Compiling externals: strcasestr etc.

2007-03-12 Thread Thierry Arbellot

Hi Thomas,

Here is a C function to change the case of a text.

voidmyLowercaseText(
char*text)
{
CFStringRef theString;

	theString = CFStringCreateWithCString 
(kCFAllocatorDefault,text,kCFStringEncodingMacRoman);

if( theString ) {
CFStringLowercase((CFMutableStringRef)theString,NULL);
		CFStringGetCString(theString,text,strlen(text) 
+1,kCFStringEncodingMacRoman);

CFRelease(theString);
}

return;
}

Hope it helps

Hello,

while compiling one external using Mac OS 10.4.8, XCode 2.4.1 and  
the ExternalsEnvironmentV2 provided by the newsletter

I obtained the error:
 error: `strcasestr' undeclared (first use this function)
Can anybody explain this? strstr works without a problem, and the  
external compiles in an older setting of of the XCode environment too.


From a related problem an additional question:
LowercaseText has been deprecated, but the Unicode-savvy  
alternative CFStringLowercase with a CFMutableString seems pretty  
complicated. Does anybody know a simple method to make parameters  
like AND or even case-insensitive in an external functions?

beta testers for unicode needed

2006-07-06 Thread Thierry Arbellot

Hello all,

As you may know, Revolution is not able to open a file if the path or 
the filename contains unicode characters.
Then, I've developed an external to work around this problem and use it 
in the last version of my shareware Toki TC.

I successfully tested it with Korean characters.

To complete the test, can someone on the list try with other languages, 
that are not western languages, and let me know the result ?


What you need:
- a Mac with OS X 10.2 or higher (should work in Mac Intel but not 
tested yet)
- download Toki TC from this link 
http://perso.orange.fr/hal/tokitc1.3b1.zip

- a movie with unicode characters in the path and/or the filename
- start Toki TC and open the movie
Toki TC should be able to open the movie, play it and display its 
filename in the window title.


What doesn't work (yet):
- display the name in the open recent file menu
- drag and drop the file in the player

I plan to make a Windows version, and then share the externals with the 
community.


Thank you,
Thierry

Re: MacOS X, player, long filename and accented chars : solved

OK

I will put the stack without compression on the server on Monday.

Hi Thierry,

Dom is a mac user and he can't decompress your archive since the last  
available version of Stuffit is 9.01 on this platform.
I asked Klaus to send me your stack but I was unable too to open the  
archive he sent to me.
Since your stack is light, I suggest that you put it on your server as  
a binary file without compressing it.

Then we all be able to thank you :-)

Re: Anyone have any experience of CPlat???

2005-09-28 Thread Thierry Arbellot

Hi Dave,

3 years ago, I was looking for a cross platform RAD, then I have tried 
CPlat.
CPlat is a library of C++ classes, it was provided with a RAD, but it 
seems the current version doesn't include anymore this RAD. Anyway, it 
was not stable and crashed a lot.


I haven't developed a real project with CPlat, so I can't tell if it 
does the job right.


But I think we can't compare CPlat and Revolution
CPlat is NOT a cross platform development system, let say it's a cross 
platform library, you still need to use your development tools on each 
platform (XCode on Mac, MS Visual Studio on Windows...). You code in 
C++ and call the CPlat functions instead of the standard system 
functions.
You have the benefit of C++ (fast code) and inconvenience (complexity 
and low productivity)


Hope it helps.

Thierry

In my preOpenStack handler I'm looking at the $0, $1 parameters and

Is there a known solution for this for OS X so my users can simply 
double-click a file to cause it to open my standalone AND THEN the

Oops, seems I'm wrong.
sMonDecimalSep specifies the symbol used to separate the decimal values  
in currency.

this page explains all registry keys:

OS X uses both : and /
the Finder uses : but the shell uses /
same problem if you write an external: Carbon functions uses : when

Re: OS delimiter question

2005-03-05 Thread Thierry Arbellot
OS X is an Unix system, so the delimiter is slash
But for backward compatibility with OS 9, Finder and other apps use : 
as delimiter

Rev works with Unix-style names, it means the delimiter is slash
If you need to convert between Unix and legacy Mac style, you could use 
the functions revMacFromUnixPath and revUnixFromMacPath

regards,
Thierry

Is there a translation at some point by runrev or a terminal mode that

I can't tell what the RB code does - but if it really is get the 
hard drive serial number then you should be able to find the 
function that Ken Ray recently published to this list. A search of 
the archive should find it (around mid-January). It is 
multi-platform, so if you only need the Win part of it, it could be 
shortened.

I got that code, but some reason the code produces a different serial 
number than out current VB code, We need a code in Rev that produces 
the same serial number as out current VB code.

EX:
VBCode serial number is 1350804678 Out program currently has this 
serial number.

Rev serial number is 5083-A4C6 I found last nite VB code that also 
produces this code

So we need a serial number code in Rev that will produce a number like 
the first VB code to work with current programs.

Any suggestions?

Did someone bugzilla this ?

Recently I have come across a disturbing error while creating a game

The weird part is that when I change the name of the graphic and close 
the properties box, the image *disappears*. The control still exists, 
but all of its imagedata is transparent.

This only happens when the name is changed with the Properties box. 
When I change the name through a script, it works fine. I'm pretty 
sure that this isn't supposed to happen.

In further investigation, it seems that the imagedata of the image is 
changed when its name is changed. Why this should happen I don't know. 
Also, changing the name will sometimes work normally when other 
properties are changed in the Properties box.

I'm using the latest rev 2.5 on winxp.

I ended up using a GDI DIB Section object as an intermediary between

(slightly modified to simplify, though coded in an external I'm 
working on for Rev):

HDC printerDC;/* provided target DC */
HBITMAP screenDDB, sect, oldbits;/* screenDDB is the imagePixmapID 
from Rev */
BITMAP bmap;
int dx, dy, dw, dh;   /* provided position and size on printed page */

if (GetObject(screenDDB, sizeof(BITMAP), bmap) != sizeof(BITMAP)) 
failure-exit;

/* create a DIB Section version of the bitmap */
sect = CopyImage(screenDDB, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION);
/* select it into a memory region */
memDC = CreateCompatibleDC(printerDC);
oldbits = (HBITMAP)SelectObject(memDC, sect);
/* render onto printer page */
StretchBlt(printerDC, dx, dy, dw, dh,
  memDC, 0, 0, bmap.bmWidth, bmap.bmHeight, SRCCOPY);

Re: finding local IP?

Hello All,
Thanks to much kind advise, I can now create stacks that are able to
interact over my school's LAN. Next step is to simplify my messy 
scripting
methods.

Question: Is there a Rev command (or elegant trick?) for retrieving the
local IP address of the computer on which a stack is running?
For the moment, my half-baked solution is to (1) use the router 
software to
assign each computer a permanent IP address, and then (2) store those 
IP
addresses as a text file. That way, each time a LAN-based stack opens 
it
retrieves its computer's IP address from that text file.

There must be a better way, though!

I think with 2.5, the latter will work on OS X!  It did just now on my

If your target is just to have white and blue lines alternatively, you 
can put a pattern in the background of the field. But there are some 
restrictions on the pattern size, like 16 or 32 pixels.

the return value from an external function call is null-terminated.  
How can I return a string value from an external function and include

I don't mind copying it when built; it should not need to be redone 
too often after I have it working; there are two functions which I 
translated to C from Transcript in order to improve performance (they 
are quite slow under Transcript, since they need to look at each byte 
in the text of an image).

Toward the beginning of the C source code, I placed this line:
char Xname[] = PostgreSQL BLOB encoding functions external v0.0;
(I previously posted the Transcript versions of the functions)
At the end of external.c, I placed this code:
Xternal Xtable[] = {
{dbblob, XFUNCTION, 0, dbBLOB, dbabort},
{dbunblob, XFUNCTION, 0, dbUNBLOB, dbabort},
{, XNONE, 0, NULL, NULL}
};
Note that the 'dbabort' function simply contains an fprintf function 
call (outputs to stderr).

What else would be needed to get this working?  I created an Xcode 
project using the Carbon Bundle template, and did simple changes to 
get the project to build with the following files listed when the 
project icon is selected in the left-hand pane:

bytea-funcs.bundle (the target)
Carbon.framework (from OS X)
external.c (my code)
InfoPList.strings (provided by Xcode, then modified)
XCmdGlue.c (from the SDK)
XCmdGlue.h (from the SDK)
XCmdName.h (from the SDK)
I also have XCmdFunc.c (from the SDK) copied into the project 
directory.

Toward the end of XCmdGlue.c, there was a line:
#include XCmdFunc.c
I commented that line out because I could not get the project to 
build otherwise.  After commenting out that line, the project now 
builds without errors or warnings, but does not work.  Could this be 
related to the problem, and if so, how can I get the project to build 
with the line uncommented?  My own code does not call any of the 
functions provided by the engine; I tried to keep it as simple as I 
could.

If you don't want to copy the bundle every-time you rebuild it, use 
the full path to the folder where XCode build the bundle.
And each time you rebuild the bundle, you should close the stack, 
remove it from memory then reopen it.

Another thing to check: have you add the 2 functions in the Xtable 
array declared in the external.c source file ?

fixed. set the button name to edit and it will automatically delete

language. Use
the label to set the actual menu title for the edit menu. If your

a) add two blank items - which will still add the preferences menuitem

b) change the name of the button to something like edit2 to myedit and  
then set the label
to edit so that the engine ignores the edit menu.,

Bonjour François,
Hello again!
So, in the documentation, for the sepcial Preferences MenuItem on
OSX,  we
can read:
 If your application's user interface is presented in a language
other than
English, set the name of the Edit menu button to Edit, and set its
label
to the correct translation. This ensures that the engine can find the
Edit
menu, while making sure that the menu is shown in the correct
language.
I tell
Set the label of btn Edit of group Menubar 1 to Edition
In this case, the Preference menuitem on OSX stays on the Edit menu
and not
in the Application Menu like it should be!
If I leave the menu Edit with the label Edit, all is fine.
Does this happen WITH or WITHOUT that namely empty folder xyz.lproj?
Maybe they don't work together...

Re: another quick multi-lingual question

2004-07-28 Thread Thierry Arbellot
Hi Lars,
One idea is to use the do command and put the actual answer command 
line in a hidden text field, that will have 2 profiles.
For example, create a text field answerDialog, set its visible 
property to false, input the actual command in the text property
e.g. in the first profile
answer Hello with Yes or No
in the second profile
answer Bonjour with Oui or Non

in your script
do the text of field answerDialog
To test the selected button in the answer, you can do
if it is Yes or it is Oui then ...
Second idea
Check the profile of the button in the script
if the cRevGeneral[profile] of me is firstProfileName then
  answer ...  -- first language
else if the cRevGeneral[profile] of me is secondProfileName then
 answer ...  -- second language
end if
Hope it helps.

Profile issue in 2.2.1

2004-07-21 Thread Thierry Arbellot
I jut started to test Rev 2.2.1 (the 30 days trial version), and I face 
a problem while using profiles.

I have a stack with 2 profiles. I use them to have different languages: 
the Master profile for English, a second profile, called French, 
for French language.

On MacOS X, I check the preferred language defined in the system 
preferences and switch the profile according to the language, using the 
command revSetStackFileProfile.

The standalone, built using Rev 2.1, does work fine.
But with Rev 2.2.1, I can't make it work.
I have tried all the profile options in the new standalone settings 
include profiles on objects and the profile library with include all 
profiles, also tried with Only include profiles selected below and 
French, also tried Set all objects to profile sets to French, but 
in all cases, the standalone is always in English, never in French.

Worst, the command revSetStackFileProfile returns an error when runs in 
the standalone, but works fine from within the IDE.

I suspect the profile library is not added to the standalone.
Is it a new bug in 2.2.1 ? Can't find it in bugzilla.
Does someone have a solution ?
Thank you.

Re: VideoGrabber

2004-07-01 Thread Thierry Arbellot
Hi Troy,
Actually, the videoGrabber provided by RunRev is quite limited under 
Windows, as it doesn't support DirectShow. I hope RunRev will improve 
it.

VFW is an old MS technology, some USB webcam are provided with such 
drivers.

Very few video cards are supplied with QT for Windows drivers, I can't 
recommend this solution.

I see one solution: use a plug-in that allows QT application to drive 
DirectShow capture devices.
The plug-in does the interface between DirectShow and QT, then you can 
use it in Rev with the videoGrabber in QT mode.
This is not a perfect solution, as the plug-in slows down the 
digitizing process (not sure you can get 30 frames/second full screen), 
but it works.

I have tried WinVDIG ( http://www.vdig.com/WinVDIG/index.html ), it's 
free, but hasn't been updated for 2 years.
Also take a look at Vdig ( 
http://www.abstractplane.com.au/products/vdig.jsp ), it's a commercial 
product, not tested, but I guess it works better.

Regards.
Thierry.

Is there a known-to-work analog to digital converter that is

have a Dazzle Hollywood Edge does not seem compatible in either 
VFW or QT modes.

I need to be able to take composite or S-Video and convert it to a 
videoGrabber compatible format. If I can find one that works, I can 
recommend that one. I currently don't have anything proving it works 
at all under Windows XP.

Does Revolution not count the tabs when it is counting the words? If I

it counts the words properly.

I have set the itemDelimiter to tab but that does not solve the

want to run MacOSFat version under Classic when double-clicked. 
Argh!!!

Can any fellow mac types out there help me straighten this mess out? 
Thanks...

Re: revInitializeVideoGrabber question

Hi doug,

The doc is wrong, a parameter is missing.

The correct syntax is :

revInitializeVideoGrabber the short name of this 
stack,QT,100,100,200,200

Regards.

Thierry.

In the IDE, if I try the docs example:

in the message window, the following error occurs:

Re: Filtering with more than 4 types (OSX)

2004-01-28 Thread Thierry Arbellot
Hi dreamer,

Just for information, if I remember well, MacOS limits the filtering up 
to 4 types.
A custom proc filter is needed to filter more than 4 types.

But sorry, I don't know how to do simply in Rev.
The only idea I have is to write an external that will call the MacOS 
file selector with a custom file proc according to your need.

Regards.
Thierry.

Bonjour à tous les Reveurs,

OSX 10.3

I want to display a dialog allowing the user to choose only pictures 
i.e BMP,MooV, JPEG, PNG, GIF and TIFF (cross platform app).
Only the four first types are considered:

answer file tPrompt with filter MooVJPEGPNGfGIFfTIFFBMP  -- filters 
correctly MooV,JPEG,PNG and GIF while TIFF and BMP files are disabled
answer file tPrompt with filter PNGfGIFfTIFFBMP MooVJPEG -- filters 
correctly PNG, GIF, TIF and BMP while MooV and JPEG files are disabled

Any idea to by-pass this apparent limitation?

Mille mercis par avance !

Smart workaround, but what if the user want to navigate to another

Couldn't you solve this by :
- create (before the answer file ...) a temporary invisible directory 
(starting
with a '.', like .myTmpDir),
- move all files you don't want to see to that directory,
- show the answer,
- restore the files from that hidden directory back and
- remove the hidden directory ?

It's not nice, but this should work.

Jan

Re: shutDownRequest being called twice

2004-01-25 Thread Thierry Arbellot
Good question. I never asked myself about it before, I just used local 
variable to share and retain value within handlers in the same script 
and it does work.

I found this in the documentation :

The value of a script local variable is retained between handlers, but 
is lost when you quit the application, when you close the stack (unless 
its destroyStack property is false), or when the script is re-compiled.

So, if you are in one of those cases, you can use a script local 
variable.

Thierry.

Re: trouble with loading externals...

2004-01-22 Thread Thierry Arbellot
Hi,

revzeroconf.bundle is the external for MacOS X and revzeroconf.dll 
is for Windows

You should copy the files in the revolution folder (what you did well) 
if you want to use them from the IDE

Set the externals... command actually doesn't load the external.
The external is loaded when the stack is open.
Try the following:
open the stack
input the command set the externals of stack cool to 
revzeroconf.bundle or set the externals of stack cool to 
revzeroconf.dll according to the platform
save and close the stack
may be better to quit Rev
launch Rev and open the stack

Hope it helps
Thierry.
