Well, if a field can behave correctly because it knows it should hold a single integer and nothing else and the developper doesn't have to script that each time - just set a property to the field which the rawkey handler understands, "context" in the gui does matter!!! > If he can build it faster in Rev and the end-user experience > is at least as good (probably better since he could use all > the time he saves coding beefing up the UI), it would seem > he'd come out ahead overall. question is "built it" = what? Each control I create in TAOO, is the best "end-user experience" possible in one control. Then I dont need to rewrite that control. When I mean create, I also mean the possibility to have TAOO work on or with the object/control given circumstances. Because TAOO is logically oriented and designed, it only takes minimal effort to replicate. If you put your erasmotron logic within verbs and objects, I got a doit handler you might like in TAOO ;) in one sense Richard is right - do it outright for your needs. Rev cant be more straight forward than that. But after one year there is a clear benefit to script reuse and improving your daily rev experience (which is why plug ins exist for example). In the other, the sense of "context behavior" for the end-user needs - on a semantic or contextual level - is "nowhere" in rev. Theirs is a table field object... a player and some more advanced objects but in the sense of an ide, it remains (and it should remain so) unconcerned with user-objects. The erasmotron is a "part" of taoo... and it already works in rev... why go look further? cheers Xavier http://monsieurx.com/taoo _______________________________________________ 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
