Re: Interarchy for PC?
Thanks Andu, Chipp, Michael, I'm really not sure what a radio lan is..I asked for more clarification on that point to see if it was the actual company or just a wireless ethernet. Chipp, I'd be interested in chasing down that satellite issue - we can talk off list about it. I'm going to try a standard wireless ethernet connection some point next week to make sure that those work (can't really see why not). Andu - I'm still looking...www.atomiclog.com looks promising..does this ring a bell? Thanks again..I'll post if I find anything. -ml Message: 1 Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2002 12:50:24 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Mark Luetzelschwab [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Interarchy for PC? Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I have a user in England for one of my MC products who is using a radio lan and a PC to connect to the internet. The first call of the MC program is to download a web page into memory. This call fails, but the user can view the same page using a web browser. Is there a tool like Interarchy for the PC that I could have this person use to monitor the difference between the browser's request and MC's request? Or, does anyone know how a radio lan might be affecting this? Thanks. -ml -- ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Inconsistent behavior...

metacard and language tools
I was wondering if it is possible with Metacard to open in the background another application, paste in a new document the content of a specific field, do a spellcheck or word count and import the results in metacard. To be more specific, I have created a language testing program which also include a composition. Once the student write the composition, my program will analyze it and report some features of that composition in a .txt files. I would like to combine my program with another commercially available software (Errata Corrige, an Italian language tool). The idea is to have metacard paste the composition in a new document in Errata Corrige and ask it to choose the menu item statistics. When asked for statistics, Errata Corrige would produce a graph (image), which I would like to import in metacard or directly in the .txt file or .rtf file. Is something like this at all possible? If so, does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks, Salvatore ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
RE: metacard and language tools
everything is possible! though you forgot to mention Mac or PC... Since you mention a .txt, i assume PC... Use the Open Process (mybatchfilename.bat) (also works for WSH) and read the result from your batch in an output file (use the cmd redirection command filetooutputto.txt) Read the result from MC... This will give you the best multitasking capabilities... Shell(mybatcommands) will block your MC GUI until the shell returns its answer...(if it returns - which is just what im battling against right now!) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 April 2002 14:00 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: metacard and language tools I was wondering if it is possible with Metacard to open in the background another application, paste in a new document the content of a specific field, do a spellcheck or word count and import the results in metacard.

Dragging Lines in a Field
Does anybody have a solution for dragging lines up and down in a field to resort them? Thanks, Ray Horsley Developer, LinkIt! Software ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Re: Dragging Lines in a Field
This code is located in the field you want to rearrange. If you click on a line in the field while holding down the shift key, the text in that line is removed from the field and placed in the label of a btn (btn id 2713) which is normally hidden. That btn is made visible and it follows the mouse as long as the shift key is down. This script was carried over from an old Hypercard stack and I haven't had time to see if I can accomplish this more efficiently with some new MetaCard fns or handlers. Since it works quite well, I haven't really seen the need. You night need to play around with the fld properties to get it just the way you want it. on MouseDown select the ClickLine # if the optionKey is down then # delete the ClickLine # end if pass MouseDown end MouseDown on MouseStillDown if the ShiftKey is down and the OptionKey is up then put the ClickLine into CkLn put value(the ClickLine) into moveTxt if moveTxt is empty then exit MouseStillDown delete line (word 2 of CkLn) of me set the name of btn id 2713 to MoveTxt put item 2 of the topLeft of me into VPos put item 1 of the topLeft of me into HPos put the textHeight of me into linHt set the width of cd btn id 2713 to (the width of me) - 17 set the height of cd btn id 2713 to LinHt set the topLeft of cd btn id 2713 to HPos,VPos repeat until the mouse is up put the MouseV into CurMouse if CurMouse VPos then put VPos into CurMouse put the scroll of me into temp subtract LinHt from temp set the scroll of me to temp end if if CurMouse (VPos + the height of me) then put the scroll of me into temp add LinHt to temp set the scroll of me to temp end if put ((CurMouse - VPos) div linHt) into CurLinPtr # set the topLeft of cd btn id 2713 to HPos,VPos+(13*CurLinPtr) set the topLeft of cd btn id 2713 to HPos,the mouseV-LinHt/2 set the visible of cd btn id 2713 to true end repeat if the scroll of me 0 then end if set the visible of cd btn id 2713 to false put ((CurMouse - VPos) div linHt)+1 into CurLinPtr if the scroll of me 0 then add (the scroll of me / LinHt) div 1 to CurLinPtr end if put the number of lines in me into ListLen if CurLinPtr ListLen then put returnmoveTxt after the last line of me select the last line of me else put MoveTxt return before line CurLinPtr of me select line CurLinPtr of me end if end if end MouseStillDown Rich Payne Sparkman Mfg.

Re: Dragging Lines in a Field
Ray, I just noticed that you'll probably want to put moveTxt into the label of the sliding btn and give the btn a permanent name (couldn't do this in Hypercard). If you decide to keep it exactly as written, you'll need to get the id of your btn and put it in place of 2713. Rich Payne Sparkman Mfg.
