QT: How to send a local application path to a script button?
Hi there, I am trying to develop an application which only shows buttons with links to programs on our school PC's and Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The children are disabled and they don't need Windows at all. What I do is this: on mouseUp answer files Which application?: put it into tData put on mouseUp cr revGoURL file:// tData cr end mouseUp into fld path set the script of btn 1 to field path end mouseUp The result almost works but I am missing : on mouseUp revGoURL file:///Applications/Burn.app end mouseUp I also know I better use open process but that is not permitted in the way I am trying to handle this. In the end I also would like the application name and icon to appear on the button. I work with RR 2.7.4 on Mac OS X 4.10. Can anyone advise/help me with this one? greetings, William -- ICT-coördinator Koetsveldschool Vrijstaathof 50 2572 HB Den Haag T 070 - 380 51 39 www.koetsveldschool.nl ___ 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

Hi William, Hi there, I am trying to develop an application which only shows buttons with links to programs on our school PC's and Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The children are disabled and they don't need Windows at all. What I do is this: on mouseUp answer files Which application?: put it into tData ## put on mouseUp cr revGoURL file:// tData cr end ## mouseUp into fld path put on mouseUp cr revGoURL QUOTE file:// tData QUOTE cr end mouseUp into fld path set the script of btn 1 to field path end mouseUp The result almost works but I am missing : on mouseUp revGoURL file:///Applications/Burn.app end mouseUp But I would recommend to use: ... launch QUOTE tData QUOTE ... I also know I better use open process but that is not permitted in the way I am trying to handle this. In the end I also would like the application name and icon to appear on the button. I work with RR 2.7.4 on Mac OS X 4.10. You can easily extract the appname by: ... set the itemdel to / set the label of btn Your button here to item -1 of tData ... But getting the app icon is not possible without extreme efforts with the built-in capabilities of Rev, I'm afraid. Can anyone advise/help me with this one? Hope that helps. greetings, William -- ICT-coördinator Koetsveldschool Vrijstaathof 50 2572 HB Den Haag T 070 - 380 51 39 www.koetsveldschool.nl Groetjes Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.major-k.de ___ 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

Hi William, Important hint! ... set the script of btn 1 to field path end mouseUp NEVER name your object(s) with a single NUMBER! That may work in most cases, but SURE will fail in the wrong moment! The engine may think you mean - button 1 (the FIRST button) Add a (short) prefix to avoid trouble: button b1 or something.
