Inspire, I like that word. I'm often amazed and inspired by how a single job
can be done multiple ways in Rev.  I really like the little scripting
'friendlies' that occasionally appear on List to see how others skin the
cat. A recent one was about the use of arrowKey. Others offered solutions
using rawKeyUp, mouseUp/Down but I believe Richard, you were award the
'elegant' solution prize by the use of selectionChanged. Inspiring. Not
conventional, but some excellent lateral thinking.

I never got into Pascal, C or most any other language as you need to think
too much in compuspeak and not enough in English. So for me, naming
conventions date back to the origins of HC.

Whilst conventions are logically necessary, how uninspiring would it be to
stick with dated conventions when new technologies bring us new capabilities
which lateral thinking people put to good use that may suggest that a new
convention should be written to inspire new comers to the broader horizons
of todays xTalk rather than the narrow restriction of yesteryears languages.

And just to finish off this tangent. Have you noticed the influx of new
posters on this List. Is that a function of the super bundle? (IMO it seemed
the SB was like preaching to the converted, ie Rev wasn't at MacWorld - but
hopefully I'm wrong) Whether they are or not, I'm certainly looking forward
to some more inspired lateral uses of Rev.

RE: Constructing and calling a handler as do

2008-01-16 Thread Randall Lee Reetz
The other caution i must issue here is that the internal scripting of the 
editor for instance might be written in odd ways so that it is distinguishable 
from user code and objects... So if your new wacko code practices happen to 
mimick these more official wacko styles, then you could walk your self into a 
situation not unlike an auto-immune cascade in biology.

Yes, I appreciate all that, and I've definitely done something similar on
many occasions, but what I like about Randall's approach is that it can work
for handlers and custom properties:-) Which brings and added bonus.

My gray matter definitely doesn't work like it use to and I've since found
it very very advantageous to name things exactly the same to avoid confusion
- so a mySQL column might be named the same as a field or custom property;
or fields may contain scripts with the name of the field matching the name
of the handler. mySQL (and probably other dbs) doesn't allow multi-word
column names, plus there are other traps if you use multi-word names in Rev,
like if you forget to quote.

Basically what I like most about Randall's approach is the use of 'item'.
Myself, and clearly others, have successfully used prefixes, char and word,
but have not extended the concept to  'item'.

RE: Constructing and calling a handler as do

2008-01-15 Thread Randall Lee Reetz
Wow, i hate it when people like my ideas as much as i do... Makes you suspect.  
Anyway, ya there are lots of pitfalls that may happen when one falls off the 
path.  The problem with live code (scripts your scripts modify on the fly) are 
that none of us quite know exactly how any particular runtime interpreter 
works.  But if all you re doing is conastructing messages... You will usually 
be fine.  Of course the rest of your code might need to keep aware of your 
current dels (or get in the habit of deliborately resetting your dels to the 
defaults right after your use is complete)... The other thing i to remember not 
to choose dels that may be present already in the source parts you will be 
linking up.  Like others hve said, little niceties like double clicking to 
select a handler in the script editor may not work.  Also, maybe someone else 
kows the char length limit for var, costume prop, and handler names.

Have fun,

randall

Although this does not work for handlers, for names of objects I  
always use space. that way I can  say for example:


put word 2 of the short name of button 3 -- autoName 12 -- 12

or:

clone button x
set the name of it to (the short name of button x  2) --  
originalName 2


Quite simple to write, read and edit per code...

Hi Randall,

put (the myprop of me)  _handler into thshandler

would be the most reliable. Without parantheses, in more complex  
syntax, you run into the risk of calling an object with the name (me  
 _handler) where me contains a reference to a control.


Why do you use underscores? An underscore is more 'difficult to type  
than a space, at least on my keyboard, and more difficult to read.

RE: Constructing and calling a handler as do

2008-01-13 Thread Randall Lee Reetz
So, while i respect convention where it works (as it makes for better 
communication), where it doesnt work or isnt as powerful as another 
(alternitive) potential convention, i am forced to break ranks as fits 
funtionality.  Xtalk was not written for auto manipulation of code symbols (no 
built in versioning or dynamic inheritance (try to put card n into button m, 
or more to the point if the meaning of if in line next is conditional 
then...) so i have to go it alone.  My question wasnt about the concatination 
of strings but how to get the interpretor to build and issue a message from a 
custom property or two in the same line of text.
