Re-2: datagrids in revLets on Win (Vista / 7)
Malte, wo bist du? ;-) Hier wo der Finger leuchtet!!! My problem was, that the DG (on win) tries to query the registry. Thus a) the revLets need permissions to query the registry or b) the DGLib needs to be patched. Trevor posted the patch if I recall correctly.

Re: why a popup-menu does not open at a new defined mouseloc?
Hi Sarah, Zryip, thank you for your suggestions. But I know the ways to popup a popup button. I experimented a while with the mouseloc and realized that it's not true that the popup opens at the mouse location when you set the mouseloc with e.g. 'set the screenmouseloc to globalloc(the loc of btn b)'. In the dictionary: If no location is specified, the menu's top left corner is at the mouse location. And I wondered why the popup command does not accept the new mouse location.

Detecting popup menu cancelation
I have a popup button that, when clicked, I change the background color of a field so as to really highlight for the user exactly what their action is going to be taken on. However, currently, I have no way of detecting if the user chooses to do nothing (cancel the popup) and subsequently return the field's background color to its default. Is there some message I can key off of or some other way for me to accomplish this behavior? Thanks!

Once you have done this for all cards (either manually or by scripted repeat loop) you can select Share Text and all cards will show the same text, whether it is a version number or a list of data, etc. If you decide not to use a background group, you will need to write a repeat loop to update all of the individual fields.

fonts: what is a point in Linux/Gnome?
The font prefs in Ubuntu (Gnome) show 10 as the default point size for most applications, including the fonts used in menus. Yet in Rev, setting the textSize to 12 is still much smaller, and only when I bump it to 14 does it get even close to what Ubuntu considers 10. So what is a point in font sizes in Ubuntu/Gnome, and why does it differ so radically from Rev's rendering of font sizes? I suspect that Rev is using pixels for points, while Gnome is following a more resolution-independent definition of point. But note that on Win and OS X, both of which are resolution-independent OSes, Rev's point sizes match those of the OS almost perfectly. This lends itself to a follow-up question: Since the days of Motif, *NIX UIs have tended toward very large controls compared to their counterparts on Mac and Win. While I appreciate the benefits of a larger target size, on balance it also seem a poor use of space, requiring common UI elements to take up much more of the screen real estate than they do on Mac and Win, and to that degree they take away focus from the user's content. What accounts for this tendency toward uncommonly large control sizes? And is there any hope that over the long term, as Linux become ever more gentrified, end-users will demand more of the screen space back and those making window managers will satisfy their audience with more conventional control sizes? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Rev training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com revJournal blog: http://revjournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: an annual calendar somewhere?
André: I continue to have fun with your calendar question. I just uploaded another stack called Calendar Lines that produces a one-line-per-month format. It also allows you to transpose the calendar into a one-column-per- month. I wrote a transpose function that uses the split command and the extents function. I haven't tried to select a range of dates, yet. If this is of interest, download Calendar Lines from RevOnline and take a look. Bob -- Thank you much Bob for this nice calendar. Also, thanks to the others who added comments, results of trials and elaborated. I was not waiting for such a rush on this topic ;-)) However, my problem is not solved with this kind of layout. Mostly I need that the user be able to highlight periods of the year. For example periods when a holidays' house has been rented (or is plan to be rented). With the present layout that can't be done. One can't drag (in order to highlight) from jan. 2 to jan 9 for example, or from jan. 30 to feb 6 etc That why I am looking for an annual calendar with 12 rows/lines, one for each month ( or might be 12 columns).
