Paste Text Into revBrowser Field?

2012-04-03 Thread Scott Rossi
Anyone know if this is possible?  Paste text from the clipboard into a
revBrowser form field?

Currently, it only seems possible to cut text from a field -- how can one
paste text?

Thanks  Regards,

Jacque,

After you update to Lion, you can install Parallels 7 and then build a Snow 
Leopard VM.  This is what I do on my personal Mac Pro (I also have Leopard and 
Tiger, as well as multiple Windows and Linux versions).

Another option would be to buy a firewire external HD and install Lion onto

 Mark, thanks for that. There is absolutely nothing of this in the
 LC Dictionary AFAICS, although after a search I realised that
 there is a very hard to read (IMHO) description on section 7.10
 of the User Guide. I think at the very least a note should be
 added to the Dictionary entry, so I have submitted one, but I
 would be very happy if someone such as yourself corrects it.

Or you could do that yourself, with the Comments feature.  Probably a 
useful note to add until that Dict entry gets enhanced.


In fact, it would be great to submit an RQCC request for this Dict 
issue, so it will be on RunRev's radar.



At the heart of this is a core difference between how arrays and custom 
props are handled.  They seem similar but have diverged in recent years:


In the olden days, both LiveCode's associative arrays and the custom 
properties it allows in objects were parallel:  they were one 
dimensional, and you could move data between them easily:


   put the customProperties of tObj into tMyArray
   set the customProperties of tObj to tMyArray

When arrays became multi-dimensional, that made it difficult to use the 
same syntax to accomplish similar goals, so they created a workaround to 
support that which also gave rise to two new functions, arrayEncode and 
arrayDecode.


ArrayEncode translates an array from the memory-specific hash table that 
drives it into a flat form that can be saved to disk.  ArrayDecode 
translates that flattened form back into an array in memory.


But since memory-mapped hash tables can't be used from disk, the format 
of data returned from arrayEncode is not easily traversed, requiring 
considerable clock cycles to translate back into an array when run 
though arrayDecode.


In essence, what those functions do is somewhat similar to what you'd 
have to do if you wanted to flatten array data in a script, walking 
through each element and writing it out into a linear format that 
retains key-value association, nesting, etc.


When you save an array to a custom prop, from what I'm seeing in terms 
of performance it seems that the array data is passed through something 
very similar to the internal routine used for arrayEncode, allowing that 
binary data to be storable, but unfortunately not in a form that's 
easily traversed.


And since those can't be traversed using the same rapid methods that 
memory-based arrays use, we have no ability to use multi-dimensional 
array syntax to address them as properties like we do as arrays.


For the long term I've submitted a request to see if we can come up with 
a b-tree storage method which might allow us to use the same syntax for 
both arrays and nested props:


Make arrays and customProperties behave the same
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6912

In the meantime, to access array data stored in a custom prop requires 
two steps, first to extract the array and then to access its nested 
elements:


   put the MyPropArray of tObj into tSomeArray
   put tSomeArray[1][2] into tSomeValue

Note that performance of nested arrays as props is roughly on par with 
running data that had been saved with arrayEncode through the 
arrayEncode function, not nearly as fast as using a true array in a 
variable.  So for performance-critical uses it may be helpful to extract 
the array early on and use it from a global, storing it back only when 
needed.



This is a good opportunity to share a bit of geeky fun news with you folks:

Kevin Miller and Ben Beaumont have generously asked Mark Waddingham to 
take a moment away from his very busy schedule to provide a description 
of the format of the data we get from arrayEncode.


I had requested this because I have a few cases where I need to be able 
to extract a specific data element from an array stored on disk, without 
the overhead of reading the entire file and running it through 
arrayDecode.   This is for a CGI where every millisecond counts, and 
some of the arrays I'm working with have hundreds of thousands of nested 
keys.


To justify the time required for Mark to do this, we made a deal:  Mark 
would provide a sparse description only sufficient to get me started so 
he could get back to more critical tasks, provided I take that info and 
flesh it out into an article for LiveCode Journal which explains the 
format in detail and provides a working example of how to use it.


Mark came through on his end of the bargain wonderfully, providing a 
sample function that worked on the first level of array keys, which was 
enough for me to expand it to be able extract the data from any key 
regardless of depth.


The article explaining it all is in progress now and close to done.  I 
expect to be able to post it to LiveCode Journal by Saturday.


Here's a tantalizing tidbit to whet your appetite:

With the pressure they have to refine the mobile feature set, don't be

It's also worth noting that the RQCC is in practice only a feeder for 
the tracking system they use internally, so in most cases -- regardless 
of affected platform -- you may not see any change there until an issue 
is resolved.   For issues I've reported I often see them sit apparently 
untended, but then when a new release comes out batches of them get 
marked off as Fixed all at once.


Would you mind posting the RQCC #s here?  I track Linux issues since 
they affect an ever-greater portion of my work.

I'm no fan of GoDaddy so it wouldn't surprise me if they've been willing

They wouldn't be alone on this:  a few years ago it was well known that 
some 30% of global spam was originating from three regions in Florida, 
but neither the feds nor the downstream providers did anything to 
enforce the law.  Ultimately a few upstream providers got tired of 
carrying all that wasteful traffic and blocked it all in the backbone 
themselves, only after which the feds finally decided to show up for 
work and make an arrest.  The local hosts never explained why they'd 
never taken care of it themselves, and sadly the reprieve was 
short-lived as that traffic eventually moved to the Ukraine, where it 
flourishes in an apparently lawless environment today.


But back on topic:

Blocking entire IP ranges is not a responsible way to blacklist, since 
it can - an inevitably does - affect legitimate users.  It's simply 
lazy, a ham-fisted scorched-earth way to solve a problem that requires 
more surgical methods.


In fact, it seems On-Rev.com may be a very good example of how this gets 
out of hand so easily, since AFAIK their servers aren't on GoDaddy at 
all, but on SoftLayer:


http://on-rev.com/hosting/our-data-center/

And even if some accounts were host by GoDaddy, unless those specific 
servers are used for illegal activity there's no excuse for any 
responsible blacklisting service to block them.


Spam is indeed a serious problem, but when attempts to stop it shut down 
legitimate businesses the cure is every bit as bad as the problem 
itself, arguably worse.

In the case of secureserver.net, the blacklists don't block on the IP in this 
case, but on the domain.  That's why you don't have issues with your OnRev 
site, but only with mail sent FROM the site.  The idea is to cause enough pain 
for GoDaddy to get something done.  I don't like it or agree with it, but I can 
see the logic…

As for GoDaddy otherwise, we've had a very successful run with them for over 5 
years since we moved to the VPS structure.  It's great to be in complete 
control of our server with none of the maintenance headaches.  We even run a 
BRU Server client on the VPS and backup everything as part of our normal, daily 
corporate backups.

What Richard said!

However, it's ironic that I became aware of Livecode through one of these
blacklistsing incidents.  I was a memebre of a forum for one of the
blacklisting sites and Heather put a post on there becaue the RunRev
serevers were blacklisted there too.  We exchanged emails about the
problem, I noticed the product and bought it.  So sometimes, there really
are silver linings!

  It's not a problem with RunRev, or their host, but with the lazy
  nature of a few blacklisting systems.
 
  Actually, in this case, it is their host.  GoDaddy needs to tighten
  up their secureserver.net environment to eliminate the spamming
  that occurs.  Their servers are high on the list of even the most
  legitimate blacklist maintainers (Barracuda, for instance).

 I'm no fan of GoDaddy so it wouldn't surprise me if they've been willing
 to turn a blind eye to illegal activity to maintain that income until
 they're absolutely forced to do the right thing.

 They wouldn't be alone on this:  a few years ago it was well known that
 some 30% of global spam was originating from three regions in Florida, but
 neither the feds nor the downstream providers did anything to enforce the
 law.  Ultimately a few upstream providers got tired of carrying all that
 wasteful traffic and blocked it all in the backbone themselves, only after
 which the feds finally decided to show up for work and make an arrest.  The
 local hosts never explained why they'd never taken care of it themselves,
 and sadly the reprieve was short-lived as that traffic eventually moved to
 the Ukraine, where it flourishes in an apparently lawless environment today.

 But back on topic:

 Blocking entire IP ranges is not a responsible way to blacklist, since it
 can - an inevitably does - affect legitimate users.  It's simply lazy, a
 ham-fisted scorched-earth way to solve a problem that requires more
 surgical methods.

 In fact, it seems On-Rev.com may be a very good example of how this gets
 out of hand so easily, since AFAIK their servers aren't on GoDaddy at all,
 but on SoftLayer:

 http://on-rev.com/hosting/**our-data-center/http://on-rev.com/hosting/our-data-center/
 

 And even if some accounts were host by GoDaddy, unless those specific
 servers are used for illegal activity there's no excuse for any responsible
 blacklisting service to block them.

 Spam is indeed a serious problem, but when attempts to stop it shut down
 legitimate businesses the cure is every bit as bad as the problem itself,
 arguably worse.

I'm going to keep Snow Leopard on my old MacBook. I already have 
Parallels and I hadn't thought of that approach, but it's a good idea 
and I may do that as well.




Another option would be to buy a firewire external HD and install
Lion onto that and then dual boot your system (this is what I do with
two of our iMacs.


Last week I went through an amazing number of hoops to do that and made 
a partition on an external drive intending to dual-boot. But it occured

etc. and in the long run I decided not to.


I'm going to push the button today. Really.

In the olden days we had less frequent meetings in a more central 
location which usually turned up between 8 and 12 people.


But those were hard to organize and the group went into a haitus for a 
while, and to get back on track we now have more regular monthly 
meetings in a location that's easy for regulars to get to but doesn't 
have the freeway access so needed in LA LA land.  So now we get between 
6 and 8, sometimes more, and while it's a smaller group it also lends 
itself very well to good discussion.

Re: near feature parity

2012-04-03 Thread Richmond

I have had nothing but 2 small grunts with my experience with Livecode 4.5
on Ubuntu, ZevenOS, Mint and various other Debian derivatives.

1. The 'hole' created by Livecode's dependency on Quicktime.

2. Characters in a Unicode-enabled textfield aren't visible (this is 
quite a big grunt in my case).


I should also point out that I have been making and running standalones 
using

version 2.2.1 which was given away free by Novell in my EFL school for some
7 years with not a single glitch. All of those standalones are deployed 
on Pentium 4's
currently running Ubuntu 11.04, and were, in the past, deployed on 
Pentium 3's running

Ubuntu 5.10.

Quite a few of these programs have leveraged MP3 files stored in a 
designated folder in

the Home directory using explicit paths.

I have created some groovy effects using animated GIF images.

Standalones created in the new (as opposed to the new-new, i.e. post 
5.5) format
using LC 4.5 won't run on boxes running Ubuntu 5.10; in cases where I 
needed to run standalones
on machines running Ubuntu 8.04 developed using LC 4.5 I have had to 
save the source stacks

in 'legacy' format and build from them with RR 2.2.1.

However, all my standalones have been deployed for a reason which 
Runtime Revolution

(the company) are not very good at addressing: educational content delivery
and reinforcement; so, as to reaching out onto the internet, 
communicating with a server,

and so on, I really cannot say anything.

Certainly, as far as I have used LC in the context of my EFL school I 
have nothing but

the highest praise.

My main grunt is with my desire to deploy a version of my Devawriter Pro 
un Linux;
but have not worked out how to get Unicode glyphs to show up properly in 
Unicode-enabled

textfields.

-

I have carefully qualified that all my work with LC+Linux has been with 
Debian derivatives,
for the very simple reason that that is the truth; so I really wouldn't 
want my findings being

thought of as applicable to other types of Linux.



Of course the pricing descrepancy is disgraceful. Of course this can 
also act as a self-fulfilling
prophecy; as fewer people buy the LC package for Linux fewer resources 
will be devoted to developing it;
but as the Linux package is effectively twice as expensive as the Mac  
Win ones, fewer people

are likely to buy it.

:) I agree with this entirely.

I haven't been running Livecode under Linux for all that long, no 
earlier than v4.(something), but I just felt that Bernard's post could 
be unnecessarily discouraging to those who might otherwise give it a 
try. My motive for posting was to provide some counterbalance to that. 
Not to dismiss the problems and inconvenience caused by the known issues 
and relatively lacking features, it does work and works mostly well (in 
all *my* experience), within the limitations imposed by these missing 
features and known issues.

Let me correct that on no response.  That isn't really correct.  It's
more like no action.  I do get responses most of the time, generally
confirming what I'm seeing.  It's the next step - putting things on the
priority list that is more the problem.


I agree that the priority should be more on the mobile platforms, and I
hope that is the plan.  I probably did not say strongly enough that I
appreciate having any sort of Linux option.

 The sample stack I wrote for this creates a three-dimensional array with 100

 The function I made from Mark's example code can extract the data from any

 Hint:  the function makes heavy use of the binaryDecode function and the seek

Got it already, but my old mouse is more precise.

It put a lot of ugly junk in my dock.

Printing anomoly between pdf and printed output

2012-04-03 Thread Ian McKnight
Hi

I have a stack which analyses data and displays the results in two simple
table fields. These are placed on a hidden card 575w x 800h for printing to
A4 paper or pdf. These table fields are locked and have both vertical and
horizontal lines showing.

Everything works as it should except that table fields are different on the
printed output and the pdf. The pdf is very accurate however the printed
table has extra vertical lines on both the extreme left and right of the
table. It's as if the table now has a column to the left of my first column
(which is partially printed) and an extra very narrow column on the extreme
right.

I have tried printing with the table 'ungrouped', I've tried turning the
lines on and off to see if this reset makes any difference but no change.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Its really more of an annoyance than
anything else as both outputs are perfectly useable. I would just like to
know why I get these artefacts and what I can do, if anything, to remove
them

Thanks.

Re: Getting Text from another open application window

2012-04-03 Thread Peter W A Wood
Sorry for the delayed reply, just catching up with my mail. It is possible to 
get text from a window displayed by another applications under Windows as long 
as the application is using the standard Windows GUI APIs to display data. 
Doing so requires making calls to the Windows System API so I believe would 
require a LiveCode external to be written to wrap the Windows System API calls.

Regards

Peter

 I don't think any application can do that without an API.

 It a Windows based app.
 The machine is standalone and has no external data connections.
 It could be possible via the SDK , but that would mean writing externals.
 Are we saying that livecode cannot get text from other displayed window ?
