QuickTime conundrum

I filed a bug report this weekend for this anomaly with QuickTime and menus - Windows only: Hold the mouse down over the menubar to pop down the menus, esp the submenu in Edit. When a QT movie is assigned to the player the movie flickers. If you play with it enough you'll get in some so

Terry, I'd check with Dr. Bott (http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?QuickSearch=gHead) about their gHead product. It is a $20 VGA adapter that fools the computer into thinking the monitor can do every resolution there is. I think the 1024 x 768 resolution would then stick. Your AppleScript migh

OT: Severe Mac Mini problem

Hi all, I have a severe problem with a Mac Mini I bought and I hope someone can help me. I am sorry for this off-topic post, but I wouldn't know who else I could ask. I made an application in Revolution to display texts on a LCD projector. I previously used a mediaeval Windows laptop to run tha

Re: Can I write "empty" to a text file?

I've got my Rev stack writing data to an external file each time it is used. Some times the data is 20 lines long some times it is only 10. I've just realized that IF it had 20 lines previously and this time it only write 10-- lines 11 to 20 from the previous time are STILL in the file! This is

I've found that when saving bulk fields in this way - that a good technique to save and be able to recover all of this data is to first convert all returns in each field to some otherwise normally unused character. I use VT - vertical tab (ascii 11 decimal) as a return replacement, following t

Printing and fonts

Hi, I'm trying to print tabular data from Revolution, and I'm having big problems. This is due to the font used to print - I don't seem to have any control over the font used, and therefore can't make it a font such as Courier which would have consistent tabbing. Is there any way to set the outp

Re: Progress bars - length of time loading query builder stacks

I can't post the code causing the delay because it is built into RunRev. It is the database query builder loading that takes so long (12 seconds if you include opening the file and 4 seconds for a refresh -- so I guess the loading of a new stack that has the query builder functions in it is the pro

Well, thanks to all for the help. I finally figured out what I was looking for. I can achieve the result I'm looking for by setting the lineHeight of the button. Unfortunately, when it comes to menus, it affects the height of the menuItems as well, so it's now of no use to me at all. Derek

Re: textShift

Jeanne, I guess you were never a letterpress printer. ;0-). It does not seem like a hack to me. The "right" way to raise the height of a line of type within a pre-defined area was to put a strip of metal below and remove a corresponding strip from above (and vice versa). Adjusting the margins se
