The command to use is: reset cursors The stack should do this as early as it can when opening, in an "on startup" handler if possible. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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: Assist a Newbee
Hi David, Welcome to the cross-platform world ;-) In fact, even if you were told that a stack built on any platform runs on all others, it's right about the code (if your code is right :-) but it's not about some other features. Mainly: 1. Fonts appearances: Rev has no responsibility. Even fonts with the same name are not *exactly* the same on all platforms. To avoid issues try to use Arial, Arial Black, Arial Narrow, Century Gothic, Comic sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Verdana, Webdings or Wingdings. In addition, use some code as the following: if the platform = "MacOS" then put 11 into tTextSize else put 12 into tTextSize set the textSize of fld to tTextSize Just to give you the idea: often you'll have to have different settings according to the platform. 2. Menus: they are handled differently according to the platform. Ken Ray has explained that with his usual clarity and enthusiasm in a conference stack you will find by going to http://support.runrev.com/ scriptingconferences/ There you will find a lot of other invaluable stacks to get you started. Hope this will help you: when you'll master these aspects, you'll be very very glad to build cross-platform apps with Rev. PS.

Assist a Newbee
Hi all, My first attempt to make my application available to friends was a disaster. I wrote my app on an IMac and it looks and works great there. I offered the app with the player for PCs to my friends. On the PC the cursor only appears outside of the app window, although the buttons hilite when the "invisible" cursor passes over them. The font size became miniscule on the PC altho it was set to 18 points on my IMac. Even on MY computer I had bad luck creating a Menubar. The scripted items "File" and "Help" hilite when clicked on but do not drop down to reveal the choices in them. They appear on the application itself if the selection to make compatible with Macintosh is NOT selected. If that selection is made, they replace Revolution's menubar items but do not open. I'm lost. I must be doing something terribly wrong. I pray that some kind soul will please advise me on these issues. They seem so much simpler to resolve than the other issues I read about here. I have volume one of Dan Shafewr's book REVOLUTION but I believe he abandoned the project before completed the next two volumes. Any recommendations on reading to learn more?
