mctools.mc v2.6b11 posted

2005-06-20 Thread Richard Gaskin


mctools.mc v2.6b11 has been posted to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MC_IDE/files/Latest%20Test%20Version/

Ken Ray updated the Variable Watcher for this build; it now lets you 
both view and display array variables. Thanks Ken!  An amazing job in 
just a few hours!


I also fixed the Script Find window so that it selects its Find text 
when it's opened, and whenever you select Find... from the Script 
Editor's Edit menu.



I noticed that the Message Watcher is perhaps the only window in 
mctools.mc that has its backgroundColor set, and to a drab gray at that. 
Should this window remain colored, or should we clear the 
backgroundColor for consistency with other windows in the IDE?

2005-06-20 Thread Klaus Major

Hi Robert,

The general consensus has been that we should not be afraid to  
break with versions more than a year old, and at the time it  
seemed I was the only one who liked the ...

...
The only other change outstanding at the moment is the proposal to  
move the storage of pres out of the Home stack and into the  
Preferences folder on Mac, Application Data on Windows, and a  
mcPrefs.mc file in the program folder for UNIX/Linux.


The benefit to doing this is that it begins to free us from being  
bound to the Home stack, which we know will need to be replaced at  
some point down the road, and allows options like FlipsIDE to  
retain prefs when flipping into MC from Rev.


If this idea remains attractive to the community it might be nice  
to include it in v2.6 because at that point we have no firm  
enhancements planned, making it a more complete baseline build  
that we can stick with for a while.


If there are no objections to doing this in this version I could  
incorporate that into B11 for your review.


I concur that it might be a good time to move prefs out. It has to  
happen sooner or later.
I haven't had time to check b9 but I thought this was one of the  
changes added already by Klaus.


No, sorry, did not find the time to make that...


Robert

Must be an engine issue, since we did not change anything in the menus.

Changing an object's id

2005-06-20 Thread Shari
I know someone posted a way to do this, and I could have sworn I 
saved the info.  But looking in my Metacard snippets folder, and 
searching the archives, I couldn't find it.  Am I losing my marbles?


Is there a way to change an object's id?  The actual id number?

If so, would you post it again?

RE: Changing an object's id

2005-06-20 Thread MisterX
on mouseup
  get the long name of any control
  changecontroltonuid it, 5
end mouseup

on changecontroltonuid acontrol, nuid
  repeat until it is myid is nuid
  clone acontrol
  if word 3 of it is not nuid then
delete it
  else
exit repeat
  end if
end repeat

Funny eh? ;) But it should work ;)
I think only ids of images can be change.
Otherwise, you can use the altid which will overide the id of a control if
queried.

hope it help, hope im not wrong again ;)
cheers

2005-06-20 Thread Ken Ray

 Ken Ray updated the Variable Watcher for this build; it now lets you
 both view and display array variables. Thanks Ken!  An amazing job in
 just a few hours!

Thanks Richard! A couple of quick things to note re: the new Variable
Watcher:

1) It now sorts variables alpha by name within their group
2) Variables are grouped in this order: arrays, parameters, locals, script
locals, globals (same order as before, I just added in the arrays)
3) Arrays are now colored a dark green color
4) There is a column to the left of the variable names that lets you click
to watch a variable when it changes values; all I did for that field was add
the same showLines that the Names and Values fields have
5) I added a watch column to the left of the array keys field, but I don't
know if it works (so if anyone who uses the 'normal' watch variables column
could test this, it would be great).

To minimize potential conflicts with the engine going forward we may 
want to use the same IDs Rev uses for the splitter cursors, which are
1031 for horizontal splitter and 201582 for vertical splitter.  But 
those numbers are so out of sequence they seem strange -- any of you 
have a moment to double-check those?


Once we confirm the IDs of the splitter cursors in Rev, should we update 
MC's to match those?  I'm inclined to say yes to be done with it, even 
if the numbers are oddly out of sequence.  Objections?




If I understand it right, the old splitter IDs are now used for other 
things, so I don't see any harm in updating the splitters to the new 
IDs. This change is going to break my old stacks regardless. It will 
break the Variable Watcher too, right?
