RE: Keyboard Layout under Windows 98

2005-06-04 Thread Thomas McCarthy

Thank you Thank you Thank you for confirming this.

I reported this to the MetaCard list a few year ago. I had the feeling no one 
believed me, so I dropped it.

This is a MAJOR pain. And it continues in standalones. So what do you tell 
users of your apps? Sorry, the keyboard layout is screwed, please refer to 
this handy chart?

As far as I know this continues in NT, and XP.

More importantly, it's a major pain to me! Whenever I want to work on the PC, I 
have to keep in mind the mac (eng) keyboard. Adds much time and frustation to 
development.

tom--I'm not crazy after all

Keyboard Layout under Windows 98

2005-06-03 Thread tim

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here. I bought Rev Studio a few weeks ago and I have 
really
enjoyed working with it, and reading about how to from this list, which has
helped me a great deal!

I have a question, though, that I haven't been able to find an answer for yet.

 I am using Windows 98 Japanese OS. When I open Rev, the text input mode
automatically switches to a US English keyboard layout. Even if I go
into the keyboards control panel and delete this layout, when I open
Rev, it just comes back, almost as if Rev is creating it.

This means that the punctuation characters do not display as typed. For example,
on my
keyboard  is shift-6, but I have to type shift-7 to get it in Rev. Almost all
the other punctuation characters on the right of the keyboard have the same 
problem.

What I need to work out is why Rev isn't using the default keyboard
layout and input method editor. I have other English software on this
machine, and all of it honors the keyboard layout setting provided by
the OS. (in fact, I am typing this now in an English version of
Firefox, and there are no problems.)

Although I personally can live with this
problem, I want to distribute my software to people using Japanese
systems - and then it becomes a much bigger issue for me. They will
expect that when they type a bracket, or apostrophe, or ampersand,
then that's what they get! 

Any fix / workaround gratefully appreciated! 


Regards,


Timothy Due
