Subject: Using Windows DLLs
Hello scripters,
After pounding the web and mailists to find HOW TO use
DLL's, and finding
where to put them in MC, it seems there is no way to handle
Windows DLLs as
provided by the WINNT OS. Im wondering if anyone has had any success

One question remains unanswered: Why the stigma against polling? I mean,
of course it's suboptimal compared to event-driven mechanisms like Apple
events, but in the absence of a supported event mechanism is polling

Polling isn't necessarily so bad. I have to think
Thank you very much for your script sample. I implemented it with one minor
change I needed. When I tried your code whenever I tried dragging a button
on my card a different object (part of a group) would move instead. I had

Thanks a bunch. That was a great tip! I also found that setting the

Larry,
You need to have the showBorder turned on as well in order
to see the 3D
effect.

I have a rectangle card graphic and it seems that the 3D effect in the
appearances tab of the properties dialog makes no difference. I had assumed
that setting the 3D effect on for the rectangle would make it look like a
rectangular button with the lighter colors on the left and top of the
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

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.

Hi folks,
has anyone an idea on how to detect a second monitor with MC?
The screenrect only returns the rect of the main-monitor

First off, what platform are you running under? I am running
I have a standalone (MC 2.3.2 for Win32) that I suspect encountered an error

might have been hidden by another stack such that the app appeared hung. Is
there a way to make sure the error stack is top most? If not, what

Hello and thanks for the responses
The problem seems to be connected to the combined field name
("field"mycounter) in the scriptline.
I now solved it by putting the line into a hidden field, then
getting the
field and then "do it".
Had the same problem in HyperCard, years ago, but

i dont know if this is a bug but this script just doesn't
work the way it's
supposed to...
set the loc of stack "mctools" to "3,3"
puts half the MC window beyond the left edge of the screen.
what's up with that?
Would it be possible have the Resource Mover also optionally move the Print
Field stack? As it stands now, I have to clone my own copy and I'd rather
have the RM move the latest version of the stack for me.
