Re: Quitting Question
Hi Joe, The problem here is that the Quit menu item in the application menu doesn't trigger any Revolution messages, except for shutdownRequest. After you choose the Quit menu item, it is the operating system that stops the application, not Revolution itself. However, before the operating system stops the application, it sends a message, which in turn triggers the shutdownRequest message. If you still want to solve this, then you'll need to post your current script. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Follow Economy-x-Talk on Facebook now and get a free Color Converter license http://qurl.tk/gn (read the conditions) On 17 nov 2010, at 08:27, Joe Lewis Wilkins wrote: > Mark, I can't get this to work properly.

Re: Quitting Question
Joe, Those messages can be cought, but should not be sent. When you click in the closebox, the closeStackRequest is sent. When you choose Quit in the application menu, the shutdownRequest message is sent. The Quit menu item only works on windows! Just to be save, execute the script attached to the Quit menu item only on Windows and Linux: case "Quit" if the platform is in "Win32,Linux" then quitMyProject end if break To handle the Quit menu item on Mac OS X, do the following: on shutdownRequest quitMyProject end shutdownRequest If the quitMyProject locks the messages, then the closeStackRequest and the shutdownRequest messages will not be sent a second time when the quitMyProject calls the quit command (this is important). You need to adjust the quitMyProject handler a little. You might need to add lines for certain externals, such as revSpeak, you might want to remove the lines with regard to databases if you don't use any. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Follow Economy-x-Talk on Facebook now and get a free Color Converter license http://qurl.tk/gn (read the conditions) On 16 nov 2010, at 22:42, Joe Lewis Wilkins wrote: > Ooops, not so perfectly.

OK - I'm a bit confused by your terminology - do you want to create a webpage or an app? With no internet connectivity at the site I'm assuming you're talking about an app. In that case, what I'd do is have two pages in the stack: the first being the input form and the second being the calculated results. On the second page, use the property editor to set the text fonts the way you want. Then have buttons on each page that simply go to the other page. OTOH, if you really do want to output web pages on the fly, bracket your calculated results with html tags: km Did I misunderstand what you're trying to accomplish? -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net ___ 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

A splash screen staying up for 10 seconds may or may nto deter illegal usage but will surely make legal users upset. 10 seconds is a very long time when starting an ap.

what's "this" stack
Hi, I recently wrote this code which works fine on savenotes modeless stack "save" save this stack wait 360 millisecs close stack "save" end savenotes when i went back to document it I stumbled across a sort of confusion in my understand on savenotes modeless stack "save" -- opens a new stack "save" as a modeless window save this stack -- saves "this" stack. Which stack is "this" (save or notepad)? wait 360 millisecs close stack "save" end savenotes I suddenly realized that I was using the "save this stack" command with 2 stacks open, the primary stack called "notepad" and a secondary stack called "save". It appears that rev knows "which is which" even thought from the code it is quite confusing. Would it be better to say "save stack notepad" instead?

I was in the midst of writing a reply when you wrote yours and I think we ended up at the same place (including decorations which I happened to stumble upon, but appreciate your mention, although I did not disable all controls (don't know how) and since that might come in handy for another situation if you have some code I would love to check it out). Here was my reply to others which fits nicely with your suggestions as well. Have we successfully created a saving alert? Indeed 1. created a stack 2. called it save 3. added a label, labelled it "Saving notes" 3. adjusted the card size 4. removed decorations 5. since I was currently saving from 3 places in my program (save button, save menu, and when quitting the application (auto-save)) decided to write a "savenotes" handler and put "do savenotes" in the 3 locations (and any future) 6. wrote handler on savenotes modeless stack "save" save this stack close stack "save" end savenotes 7. That worked BUT... unreadable, so re-wrote the handler to make the alert visible on savenotes modeless stack "save" save this stack wait 360 millisecs close stack "save" end savenotes In a previous programming paradigm (procedural) I would have just written a "save notes" sub routine and called it from wherever. The subroutine would handle everything in one place: design, placement, presentation, you name it. Nothing would exist outside except the calls to the subroutine. Then along came "event driven" programming. In event driven there was a main event loop just spinning around waiting for user input. Then the main event would triage the input to the appropriate location. But, if designed properly, there really only was 1 input location - the main event. In this environment (object oriented?) things seem to be a bit different. There are events, but they seem to occur in many places. From there we either respond immediately, or if more complicated (as in this case) we call a "handler" somewhere else that can take care of it. So I have the presentation in one stack (save), the handler in another stack (notepad) and the input from several different places (buttons, menus, stacks). Its just a different way of looking at programming, and one I'm still mentally struggling to sort out. (Plus, it really is more difficult to teach old dogs new tricks :-) Like anything, the more you do the more transparent the process becomes. Thanks again for all your input and feedback. The alert does look rather lovely :-) -- Mark PS I first wrote this message in my notepad stack. Getting it here presented a couple of opportunities for new learning… 1. I was unable to cut and paste the whole message from the field to an intermediate application (TextEdit) before posting it here. (I will try cutting and pasting from the rev field to the user group directly to see if that works any better AND, it does. So the problem was not with rev but with Text Edit. And just for grins I cut and pasted to Word and that worked fine too). 2. When I pasted it into TextEdit all kinds of spelling errors showed up that had not been highlighted in the rev field. Is there a way to turn on spell checking in rev fields?

Interesting you should mention the background issue because basically everything on my card is in the background (its a simple notepad app, gee... I wonder how many of those have been created!). So every element of the UI shows up on every new card. I thought some people might like to see the date the note/notes were made although personally it drives me batty seeing the date so I decided to create the menu Option called "Toggle Date Stamp" (actually originally I wanted to make the menu item dynamic so that if it was in the "show" state it would say "Hide Date Stamp" and if it was in the "hidden" state it would say "Show Date Stamp" but my transcript/livecode (I'm still using 4.5.0 dp 3) skills are not yet there so the simplest solution was to have a static menu item that conveyed the same sense of choice so "Toggle Date Stamp" it is. The datestampfield is in the background. The datestamp (value) is a custom property. Datestamp gets stored in the datestampfield (now automatically) each time a card or note is created/accessed. The question becomes, if I am going to toggle it on/off I need to know what state of visibility it is in now. That state of visibility (called showdatestamp) is stored as another custom property with values of true/false. When I first implemented the menu code that does the toggling: set the showDateStamp of this stack to not the showDateStamp of this stack that would change the value of showdatestamp (the flag) reliably, but had no effect on the actual field called datestamp. Connecting those two pieces up was the challenge which "set the visible of fld "datestamp" to the showdatestamp of this stack" accomplished. It is still not reliably 100% clear in my mind but I guess the more you work with it the more ingrained it becomes.

Re: Need help with windows chars and mac chars
Hi Josep, You might convert from Windows to Mac using the IsoToMac function, but a few characters will be converted incorrectly. Normally, my advice would be to set up the entire database with UTF8 encoding and convert all strings to UTF8 before writing them to the database. Search strings would need to be converted to UTF8 too. I am surprised that even the word "demo" doesn't work for you, but I guess the reason is that the encryption doesn't return the same value on both platforms. You need to encode to UTF8 first and then encrypt. How do you do the encryption exactly? When you are sure that the encoding and encryption are correct, then the ASCII values of all bytes of the encrypted string should be the same on both platforms, even though the characters displayed in a field may be different. As a last step, use the binaryEncode function to convert the string from binary to hexadecimal. The hex string should be exactly the same on both platforms. Hexadecimal strings don't need to be encoded as UTF8 again. You can simply write to the Mac encoded database, since all characters 0-9 and A-F are the same regardless the encoding. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Economy-x-Talk on Facebook now and get a free Color Converter license http://qurl.tk/gn (read the conditions) On 9 nov 2010, at 00:30, JosepM wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I made a mess with the coding of characters between windows - mac and mac - > windows. > > I have a function that encrypts a word and then validates the encrypted word > with the value of the database.

Re: alerts
Hi Craig, Forget the part about not knowing when a save is done... I'm a little tired at the moment but did figure it out. I have code that says: on mouseUp save this stack end mouseUp Pretty simple. But there is no visible indication to the user in my stack that anything happened. So what I want to do is: on mouseUp -- show a dialog saying we're saving now... (sort of like what runrev itself does when you do cmd-S) save this stack -- dismiss the dialog end mouseUp BUT, the only dialogs I have found in runrev are ask or answer, both of which require the user to dismiss them. How do you do an information only dialog (or is it an alert?) that does not require user intervention? PS which reminds me, is there anyway to see how the IDE itself was implemented? (i'd go look at the code for the IDE's save command). I've heard or read that it is possible to do that but haven;t discovered how.

Hi Craig, I looked up dialogs and what not in the dictionary and user guide and all I found where ones driven by ask and answer (nothing like a 1 way conversation like tell). In this case we don't need the user to dismiss the dialog, or answer anything, we just want to inform them that something is going on (a save is in process) and once it is finished the dialog should just go away.

Re: Refreshing a card
Hi Monte, sorry if I missed replying. The problem was that on any specific card when I selected the "toggle date stamp" menu option, visibly nothing happened. In reality the property "showdatestamp" was changing from true to false on each menu selection based on the statement: set the showDateStamp of this stack to not the showDateStamp of this stack but the field itself (I think I've called it the datestampfield) did not appear or disappear as one might expect. Going from the current card (where the toggle was selected) to another card did show the desired result. ie. if you toggled the "showdatestamp" to off (or false in this case) then going to another card suppressed displaying the datestampfield. There is a line of code each time you open a card that stays if there is a fld "dateStampField" then put the dateStamp of this card into field "dateStampField" end if but what I was doing (which did not work) was trying to make it visible or not by doing something like this if there is a fld "dateStampField" then put the dateStamp of this card into field "dateStampField" else put " " into field "dateStampField" end if sort of trying to make it visible or not visible myself. I did not know about the "set the visible of..." command sequence. By adding that into the menu handler (if that is the correct term) so that it says case "Toggle Date Stamp" set the showDateStamp of this stack to not the showDateStamp of this stack -- new stuff added to make it visible/invisible if there is a fld "dateStampField" then set the visible of field "datestampfield" to the showdatestamp of this stack end if works fine. Its still a bit tricky to wrap my head around this. The "mechanics" of doing it have some pieces here, some pieces there, and its not entirely clear to me how they all work together. And I guess the critical portion to understand is that there is a large junk of this visibility thing which I'm NOT doing. Now its something that reunrev handles when you set the visibility property of the field through the menu. Put another way, previously I was trying to make it appear or not by putting the date in the field, or a space. Now, I don't worry about it. I put the date in the field (if there is one) and let the "visibility" property handle whether it gets displayed or not. If that makes any sense. Anyway, I appreciate your feedback. -- Mark -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Refreshing-a-card-tp3021743p3031539.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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

Re: OT: linux question
Hi Tim, Try to download http://qurl.tk/jv (tab ball) or use our own (whichever is newer) and un-tar the file. Open terminal and use 'cd' to navigate to .../rr268x-linux-src-v1.1/product/rr2680/linux/. Type "make install" and wait what happens. If it does't work, you are probably missing some libraries and don't need to keep trying. Ask the manufacturer for the correct source for your Linux version. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce Create installers for Mac and Windows on *every* Rev-compatible platform.

Refreshing a card
Hello all, by now most of you are probably familiar with my silly questions (born of, I am afraid, too many years engrossed in procedural programming languages). Here we go. I have a menu option called "Toggle Date Stamp" and it toggles on/off the display of a date stamp on the card. When you select it you might expect that the card goes from displaying the date stamp to not displaying the date stamp ad infinitum. Not so. In fact nothing changes. If I move off the card and then back on I see the correct behaviour but not while I am actually on the card (or any card). I am guessing that in the Toggle Date Stamp menu code (below) I need to send a message to the card to "refresh" itself. But what message? case "Toggle Date Stamp" set the showDateStamp of this stack to not the showDateStamp of this stack -- insert some message to get the current card to "redisplay" itself break end switch (Note, yes the showDateStamp property is in the stack because it effects the behaviour of all of the cards, not particular ones. Hopefully I've got that bit of logic right :-) Thanks for your patience, -- Mark -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Refreshing-a-card-tp3021743p3021743.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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

Swapping scrolling text for regular text
I have a sort of dumb question. I have a stack with about 12 cards that has a text field on it (part of a background group). I would like to change this field to a scrolling text field. Is it possible to swap or change the existing regular text field into a scrolling one without loosing the existing text entries? (or is the only option to restart from scratch).

Do you keep the file open all the time? You might get an error "file already open" if your application crashes and tries to open it again the next session. You won't be able to determine whether another programme is using that file or the file is incorrectly flagged as open. You may also have a problem when you try to delete the file.

Re: MainStack subStack, I am lost
René, The splash stack doesn't need any substacks. If you still need to switch a sub and a mainstack, you need to turn them both into mainstacks before you can make the former mainstack a substack of the former substack. Now pay attention! I think you don't need to do anything complicated. Just make a mainstack of the splash stack. Add the stack file, which no longer contains the splash stack and ADD THE STACK FILE TO THE STACK FILE PROPERTY OF THE NEW SPLASH STACK.

Hi René, You can make a standalone of your splash stack and keep the current mainstack with its substack(s) as it is. Use the property inspector to add your current mainstack to the stack files of the splash stack. If you use my installer, you can still distribute the whole thing as one file (Windows) or application package (Mac OS) ;-) -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce Create installers for Mac and Windows on *every* Rev-compatible platform.

Re: XMLRPC question
Leland- Welcome to the list. In addition to what Andre's already posted, It's certainly possible in perl to create some densely terse routines, so I think the claim of "less coding" is quite relative, and depends somewhat on what libraries you already have available to you. From your perl snippets it looks like you're dealing with web services on a remote server. In that case the library I put on revOnline may be of some help to you: libSOAP. I've tried to encapsulate some of the complexities of dealing with XMLRPC in an easy (easier) to use and more rev^H^H^Hlivecode-friendly format. Your phrase "relatively straightforward" again is in the eye of the beholder, but hopefully this may give you something to start with. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net ___ 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

Nice. To remain future-friendly, you might want to change the check to

It doesn't work in mc because you make calls to the revxml library, as
in line 245 of DocsLibContent ("revcreatexmltree"). Once I figure out
how to get mc to recognize rev externals (Klaus?) this should work.

Re: Geometry settings...
Hi Dixie, This really is a big hassle. You'd have to set several cRevGeneral, cRevGeometry and cRevGeometryCache proprties by script. It is possible but really compliated. Alternatively, you might try to create a copy of an existing field, which has its geometry settings already. After creating is, call the revUpdateGeometry and revCacheGeometry commands. I can't guarantee that it works, but you might give it a try. I'm pretty much an opponent of using the geometry manager. In more complicated projects, there is always a moment when it breaks. I always write my own script to manage object sizes and locations. It is faster, more reliable and easier to maintain in the end. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce Create installers for Mac and Windows on *every* Rev-compatible platform.

Using script locals I also use constants to eliminate having magic numbers sprinkled throughout my scripts. I place them at the top of the script to make them manageable.

Re: Constant command
Hi Craig, I don't know if it is compelling, but a constant is readily available to all handlers in a script. If you have a library with functions and you don't know which function will be called first, it is useful to not be required to define a local variable in every function. Usually, I keep constants at the top of a script, which makes it easy to adjust a script for different customers or servers. Sometimes, I use a constant only because it is easier to write, e.g. I consistently use dot instead of ".". -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce Create installers for Mac and Windows on *every* Rev-compatible platform.
