How to select after the defaultResponse of an ask dialog (thanks to Sarah)
Bonjour, In a case of ask dialog, I know what the two first chars must be. I only need the user appends more data. I was on the verge of asking the list about how to select after the text of the ask dialog instead of having it all selected. Before, I searched the archives and found immediately a nice solution given by Sarah at http://www.mail-archive.com/use-revolution@lists.runrev.com/msg71501.html Sarah said I thought others might need the same thing so here it is :-) It was just my case yesterday, then, thanks a lot Sarah :-)) Best regards from Grenoble André ___ 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: Ask dialog with multiple button choices
Build your own. It is a surprisingly logical process and not that hard to do. And you'll get to rig it just the way you want and it might look better too.. check out the 'dialogdata' property for modals. A single array is a possibility for more complex dialogs. Put the openstack handler in the card script of the dialog stack. The ask dialog prompts the user to enter text but then can only Cancel and OK?

ask dialog removes selectedChunk in field
Rev 2.6.1 Greetings, When I use the ask dialog to get some user input on changing some hilighted text in a field, the ask dialog removes the focus from the field, thus losing the ability to use the selectedChunk after the dialog has been dismissed. I did not know if there was any way within any of the properties to stop this, such as setting traversalOn, so I put the selectedChunk into a variable before the ask dialog. Other than what I have done to resolve this, is there some property dealing with the ask dialog that might bypass the need to record the selectedChunk before the ask dialog?

Selecting after the text of an ask dialog
Hi All, By default, when you do an ask and supply a default value, Rev selects all the text in the ask dialog's entry field. I have a case were the data entered needs a prefix, which the program can calculate and display, but then I want the users to append more data. In this case, I wanted the cursor to appear after the text instead of having it all selected. Here is what I worked out to do this: on getInfo send selectAfterAskText to me in 1 tick ask info What? with ABC end getInfo on selectAfterAskText select after text of fld ID 1119 of stack Ask Dialog end selectAfterAskText I thought others might need the same thing so here it is :-) Cheers, Sarah ___ 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

If the user's name starts with anything other than Joe, the first three characters must be deleted if the selection point is after the name, whereas the first keystroke of the name replaces all three characters when Joe is selected. Also how do I change the rev icon to a warning icon or no icon? First, when I use your line, ask What's your name? with Joe ,I get no icon on v2.6.1 Win XP.

The ask and answer dialogs are not built-in resources (as they were in HyperCard, if you are familiar with it). Instead, they are separate stacks. They are built into the Revolution development environment. The standalone builder will bundle them with your application automatically, so including them in your stack yourself generally isn't necessary. It does mean that you can't run your stack without the development environment, though. -- regards, Geoff Canyon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hi Brian, I believe that you need to open up your stack from WITHIN Revolution in order to access the dialog resources (among other resources, color and font settings, etc.) HTH, Kurt ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
List Field and Ask Dialog
Hello I have a List Field with some lines of text. When clicking a line I want the Ask dialog shown, fill in a number and have that number put in (with a tab) after the last word of the line. 1. This script in the Text Field works: on mouseUp put tab 1 after the last word of the selectedText -- the number 1 is an test end mouseUp 2. But if I add the Ask-dialog: on mouseUp ask How many? put tab it after the last word of the selectedText end mouseUp I have this error: Chunk: no target found put tab it after the last word of the selectedText Value: mouseUp I have tried a lot of different ways (clickText, clickLine, selectedLine...) but always the same error: Chunk: no target found Anyone having a solution? An idea? All help will be appreciated! Thanks. Magnus von Brömsen ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: List Field and Ask Dialog
Magnus Without giving you the text of the answer, your problem is that in your test case you have already selected a line in the field so the chunk (selectedText) is valid. After the ask dialog that field is no longer selected so any chunk address fails. You need to note the line you selected before the ask dialog and then reselect it before doing the put statement. regards David On Saturday, April 6, 2002, at 06:41 , Magnus von Brömsen wrote: Hello I have a List Field with some lines of text.

Re: List Field and Ask Dialog
Many thanks David I did the same test as you -- and that works fine!?!. Then I went back to my original text field to find what is wrong. For some reason I had deselect Can Recive Keyboard focus.

Re: Ask dialog and write file to disc
Hi Magnus, Many thanks! Works great now. (I had missed file in Open Close.) you can have it even shorter ;-) on mouseUp ask file Save your order with Untitled.txt if it is empty then exit mouseUp put field totalOrder into url (file: it) ## !!! end mouseUp I'm new to Revolution (my first project). So, that combination of ( ), is it replaced by the actual name of the file?. /magnus Yes, kind of... the url command needs a complete string as an argument. So the correct syntax would be: put fld 1 into url file:Your_complete/path_to_the/file.txt So the actual filepath and the file: have to be concenated first, that's what the parenthesis are for. (The (ampersand) concatenates 2 strings.) If you leave them, there will be an error.
