way to bypass "default browser"?

I've got an app that relies on Internet Explorer - - if the user has Safari set up as their default browser on Mac OS X, is there a way I can do a brute-force "launch http://www.registrationwebsite.com with Internet Explorer", no matter what the default browser is set to? ___

OT: Panther and Sorenson3

Has anyone who's upgraded to Mac OS Panther had any difficulty with Sorenson3 no longer showing up as a compression option in Quicktime Pro or Cleaner? I just downloaded the patch from www.sorenson.com to Sorenson 3.3, but that doesn't seem to help. Curious if anyone else is having this probl

OT: Mac OS X have a "registry"?

Can anyone tell me if Mac OS X has a "registry", like Windows? I basically need a place to store an encrypted password, and I need someplace to store it where people would be unlikely to find it. Putting it in the preferences folder would be too obvious. My PC-buddies were telling me that the

Cutting down on size of .rev file

Is there a way I can view the size (bytes) of objects within a stack, so that I can determine what contributes to the large size of my .rev file? ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

"Launch" command on Mac OS X

I'm trying to create a Revolution app that will permit the user to download any number of files from an FTP server to their hard-drive, and then permit them to launch that document with it's proper owner. I've got the FTP/downloading process working, and the filetypes set properly, however if

name of .exe Rev app that sublaunches .rev file

I've got a Revolution app that is launched by an .exe file that I created in Revolution as a "stub" launcher.  This stub launch has just 1 line of code in it that tell it to run another .rev file from a web-site.  Is there a way, within that .rev file on the web-site to determine the name of th

Panther and Rev

I've got a client who's interested in having me create something that will work in Apple's upcoming "Panther" OS.  Has anyone done any experiments running Revolution in Panther?  I know that Panther has been out for a while within the developer community, but I haven't done anything with it mys

ftping and filetype property

I've got a Mac OS X Rev app that allows the user to upload files to an FTP server, and download files locally from the same server.  (It does many other things, but this component is the part I have a question about).  I've noticed that if I upload jpg, gif, pdf, ppt, doc, xls files, and then p

Windows XP icons in Builder

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to give a Rev app a Windows XP icon (48x48) with the alpha-blending, so that it blends in with the desktop?  Whenever I tried doing this with thei Builder app, it said it didn't like my icon format (It wanted a 32x32 16-bit icon instead).  Am I really limited

Re: Strange script tags retrieved with PUT URL calls on PC - solved

Stupid me! Yes, that is indeed the problem - - - I've got Promomitron running on my PC. Once again, Revolution is fine - - user error on my end. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 9/8/03, 5:57 PM: > > Hello Rob > > First, apologies for the HTML below (this is what I get from pur url > "http://www

Strange script tags retrieved with PUT URL calls on PC

I'm getting some strange script tags (below) being retrieved from Revolution's PUT URL command (but only on PC). If I run this same Revolution stack on a Mac, I do not get these lines of code within my app. I've tried this on Rev 2.03 and Rev 2.1. The data is consistantly being retrieved, whe

faking https?

Just want to verify that there's no way to fake an HTTPS POST with the present version of Rev on Mac OS X.  I'm really in need of https for a project I'd like to work on for a client.  (Basically I'm posting a username/password, and the server sends me back an encrypted string.)  I was trying t

Can Rev mimic http forms submit?

Can anyone tell me if the Revolution "post" command does the same thing as what a web-browser does when it has a "form.submit()" action? For instance, let's say I have a form on a web-page that contains a form with some input fields (I've eliminated the tag characters in hopes that email reade

Getting cross-platform IP address

I must be missing something obvious, but is there a command that provides the user's IP address (whether Mac or PC). According to the documentation on the "hostAddress" function: "Use the hostAddress function to find the IP address of the computer that Revolution is running on." I thought th

Way to copy bitmap from one stack to another?

If I have an image in stack A that gets it's bitmap data from an URL, and then I want to jump to another stack which displays that image in a larger size, is there a way I can have stack B reference the same image data, without having to force stack B to pull in the image from the URL from scra

Way to drag-drop from Rev to desktop?

Can anyone tell me if it's technically possible to have a scrolling text field where a user could select multiple lines, and then drag-and-drop those lines onto their desktop?  And then, I'd be able to track what those text items are, and react accordingly?  (I'd have Rev ftp some files from an

Way to insert text where cursor is in field?

I'm sure I must be overlooking something simple - - - - What I'm trying to do is have a text field that detects when the user presses the character "*", and when they do, it replaces that "*" with a bitmap graphic.  (Using the imageSource call).  I've got the below code which _almost_ does th

OT: Will Panther have IE by default?

I've been working on a Revolution app that controls IE on Mac OS X using Applescript.  Can anyone tell me if the Panther OS will have IE as part of the default install?  I realize that Safari will be the "default" web-browser, but I just need to see if IE will at least be available. ___

delete line x in Rev 2.1B2 vs. 2.1RC1

I've noticed a difference in the way that the "delete line x from field" feature works between Revolution 2.1B2 and Revolution 2.1RC1. In 2.1B2, it deletes the line of text, and moves the line beneath up a line, but in 2.1RC1, it deletes the text, but leaves line beneath in it's original posit

Methods of embedding browser in Rev

Looking through all the archives, I've found the LEO browser as a means of embedding a web-browser into Revolution stacks.  It doesn't appear to be selling yet, or if it is, I'm missing the link.  Are there any other options?  I'd love a cross platform solution (Mac/Win) if such a product exist

OT: Mac OS X Server - - - timeouts

I'm trying to get my Revolution application to FTP files up to our Mac OS X server.  This works most of the time, but if the server isn't used for awhile, it gets into this mode where you have to kind of "wake it up" - - - apps on the server sit for awhile before launching, the server doesn't s
