Metacard on Windows 2000
Hello Everybody I have have been doing some work on an old metacard project that I have just inherited and I have a couple of questions. The original stack is written in MC 2.3.2 and I am required to turn this into an .exe file. The question is do MC 2.32 standalones run under Windows 2000 (and / or Windows XP)? I don't have Windows 2000 to test if it does or does not. I could of course just upgrade the stack to 2.41 but because I had nothing to do with the creation of the original stack I want to avoid this. If something breaks beacause of this then I will have to fix it and this particular project has already taken longer than it should (and as per usual the person I am making it for wants 100 copies of the CD by last week :-) ) Thanks in advance. Michael Crawford PS Does anyone else miss the ability to search the mailing list archive like we used to do with the old one? ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Yes, of course it does, I use Windows 2000 to test everything I develop on Mac. -- 1. amanuensis Signe Marie Sanne e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Romansk Institutttel: +47 55 58 21 27 Oysteins gt. 1 5007 Bergen http://www.hf.uib.no/hfolk/mlab/default.html Norway ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

RE: inter-process communication
Here is more info that I hope will be helpful. We communicate using named pipes between programs we wrote in house. We have a couple of C/C++ programs that communicate with our MC app using standard Windows API named pipe functions. You read/write to named pipes the way you read/write to files. FWIW Visual Basic also supports named pipes (we use that language in our system also). Named pipes is not a tool to use to communicate with canned applications (e.g. Word, Excel, etc.). I might be able to answer specific questions you might have. One specific caveat - As far as Windows versions go you can only create a named pipe on Windows NT/2000/XP. Windows 9x won't do that. We are using Windows 2000 Server and Professional. This may not be the solution you all were looking for but it works well for us. Larry Huisingh From: David Bovill [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd love some more info on this David From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: inter-process communication Richard, FWIW, I'm not sure how cross-platform it is but I've written a DLL for the Win32 platform that I use to communicate between my MC app and other Win32 non-MC apps via named pipes. It seems to work really well for us. I think there might be a similar mechanism on Unix/Linux.

MetaCard 2.4.2 beta 1
MetaCard 2.4.2 beta 1 is now available in the directory ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/2.4.2/ This release only includes engines and tools stacks. You must have a previous release installed on your system, then just back up those two files from your existing installation and replace them with the files from this one. This is primarily a bug fix release over 2.4.1, so if you've reported a problem with that or a previous release, please check this release to verify that it has been fixed. There are also a few new things including a new regex library and some new field and language features. See the complete list of new features in the file ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/2.4.2/README.2.4.2 This release should be as stable as beta-test release, but does not include the full complement of features planned for 2.4.2 yet. Take a look at what we've got so far and if there's something that you think it really needs, please send your suggestion in to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Scott Scott Raney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.metacard.com MetaCard: You know, there's an easier way to do that... ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Clicking outside movie windows
Playing a movie in a player window, how do I prevent messages from being sent while the movie is playing? The movie script is: set the currentTime of player goodies to 0 show player goodies set the callbacks of player goodies to 11095,endMovie start player goodies I have several pulldown menu buttons on the card, and if I click on one of them during the movie, the pulldown menus appear. I've tried every type of on mousedown and trapping the menuPick message, but nothing I've tried stops the pulldown menus from appearing during the movie. I've tried lock messages both before and after starting the movie. Nada. I've tried start player goodies without messages ... nada. I've searched the Metacard and Revolution mailing list archives. No luck. I don't want clicks to register outside of the movie window while it is playing. How do I accomplish this?? Thanks!

Re: MetaCard 2.4.2 beta 1
From the 2.4.2 Beta 1 Read Me: The grid lines in fields have been changed to draw using the borderColor property instead of the hiliteColor. Very nice. When the a field has a vertical grid, text is now truncated within a cell rather than being pushed off to the next tab stop location. Absolutely awesome!

opening without activating
How can I display a specified card in a non-active window without bringing that window to the front? I have one window in which the user can click buttons to change the display of a second window. I want to be able to show a different card in that window without bringing that window to the front. Using go or open always brings the second window forward.

Re: opening without activating
Richard, so far the closest I can come up with is: -- stack Test 1 on top of stack Test 2 -- This button is on stack Test 1 on mouseUp set the defaultStack to Test 2 go cd 2 topLevel stack Test 1 end mouseUp It goes so fast you almost don't see the blink. If I come up with anything else, I'll let you know.

Metacard cgi feedback
I am using Robert Brenstein's excellent Mac cgi MC script, tweaked so that it will post student homework grades to my Mac server. It works well, but I am lost on how to have the client MC script pick up the cgifeedbackreply that the cgi produces after posting. If I post to the cgi from a real browser (Netscape), I get the reply back just fine. I thought the reply might be captured in an it container in the MC client, but nothing shows up there. Is it supposed to? My question is: how do you script that protocol in the client MC stack to pick up the reply, or have the stack or card behaving like a browser so that it can get the reply?

This should work as you describe -- with the reply in it. Try with the 2.4.2 beta to see if it behaves any different. If not, if you can send me the cgi script, I'll take a look at it.
