Bonjour, Thanks a lot to Robert, Zrypt, Richard, Bernd who provided very helpful material and the others who chimed in helping to push along :-) I have now an annual calendar with 12 lines, one for each month.

That's right. A lot of folks don't necessarily see the value in dropping the price for a special offer so low, because they are looking at the short term and not the long term value of customer acquisition and PR value. Revolution has been there before, too, when it made sense. I can see SuperCard being there because they volume customer acquisition and PR value is exactly what they need. If you have a specialized, expensive, vertical market product, MacZot might not be the way to go. Its harder to upsell later and there is a potential blow to perceived value if you drop your price from $999 to $49. I often work with magazines to give away older versions of software. Once you acquire a customer, even if they don't upgrade within a short term, you've already got a relationship with them. MacZot doesn't need to make that much money off of each unit, but their reasons are different from yours. They are able to do their thing all the time. They have a smart operation. On the other hand, there are companies out there that want to give you access to their customer base for sales purposes, but not share with you the customer list. Ive never been fond of that because that means you aren't building any customer equity. Some software developers will do it, because the partner will give access to a channel they are not able to acquire themselves without huge investments. That's one of the reasons why you see some titles showing up in the Apple Store under someone else's brand, but you are already familiar with them as a direct seller of their product. The cost of getting into stores is high - especially the Apple Store.

Re: Docking Stacks
Just a thought given other things I've experienced... That moveStack is likely getting executed twice an causing problems: once for the main stack and once for the substack (which doesn't override the moveStack handler and so it falls through to the main stack's script). You could either: * put the moveStack handler in the card of the main stack * override the moveStack handler in the sub stack * check the short name of me to ensure it's the main stack To get rid of the lag, you may be able to lock the screen and unlock the screen after the stack moving is complete. It depends on when moveStack is called (after or before the move is complete). Jeff M.

A stack on the bottom to continually display help information. 3. The main stack is in the middle of all of this and the others need to snap/dock/open on the edge of this stack. [Menu stack][MAIN STACK][Reports Stack] [--Help Stack---] Any ideas on how to start adding this functionality? Just set the correct side of one of the substacks to the correct side of the main stack. It's pretty easy: set the left of stack reports stack to the right of stack main stack set the right of stack menu stack to the left of stack main stack set the top of stack help stack to the bottom of stack main stack etc. If you want snapping behavior, handle the moveStack message and check if the two stack edges are within a certain distance of each other. If so, set the edges as per above to achieve a sudden snap. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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: Docking Stacks
I searched around and haven't really found anything about interactions between multiple stacks similar to docking. Speaking as someone who has tried to build docking stacks in the past, there is almost always a bit of lag between dragging one stack and having the rest follow, especially on slower systems. There is also the issue of stack layering (one stack moving above or behind the other) -- this is more forgiving when stacks have no shadows (Windows). And you'll need to make sure that the docked stacks are aware of who is docked to who and who should be moved when any docked stack is dragged. Shao Sean has an external that is said to allow group dragging of stacks, but last I heard this is only for Mac. The most surefire way to make stacks dock is probably to copy the contents of a docked stack to the main stack when stacks are docked, so in reality there is only one stack present. But obviously it takes a lot of planning up front to make sure the contents of all your dockable stacks can be easily copied from stack to another. There is one of those cases where a view object (stack within a stack) would be immensely useful.

Re: Scripting systemWindow
Hi Andrew, What have you found where in the forums? Do you have a link? One possibility here is that the stack that this stack refers to changes when the systemWindow property is set. Is the button with your script part of the stack that becomes a system window? It is possible that there is a bug in the debugger, which prevents the answer dialog from showing up. Try writing a header plus the error data to a file. Once you have the error message, you can parse it at http://runrev.info/error.html -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer Economy-x-Talk is always looking for new software development projects.

sending data to a printer over v.24 rs232 interface to a printer under windows
Hi, today i got a call from a customer. He is using a special (programmable) keyboard, which is connected via v.24 interface directly to a barcode printer. the keyboard runs a 12 line basic program, which waits for an input from the keybord. This input then is sent with severeal controlcodes via V.24 to the printer. Now the keyboard is broken and it takes about 12 weeks before the new one arrives here. So my question is, how complicated is it to write some code in rev to communicate with the V.24 interface to sent the data from the rev app? Is there anyone on the list, who has done something similar?

Re: [ANN] The Slug's Color Picker is now on the road for beta test
Hi André and René, 2010/3/2 Andre.Bisseret andre.bisse...@inria.fr: Thank you Zryip :-) I tried it; when dragging the tools palette it's putting back docilely ;-) You're welcome 8-) But seems that Color Picker keeps staying in front so that it is not possible to get the properties of another stack in the inspector? (not possible to name a new stack for example). Might be I am missing something? Right, it's because, for the moment, the Picker is sent constantly to front, otherwise it returns behind the tools palette and is covered by its shadow effect. Not thought to that, it's a bug. I must doing things differently to be more accurate in how the Picker must be sent to front. Thanks for your observation ;) I was wondering if drawer at bottom? could do the trick (but the doc says that it works on Mac only :-( I forget to precise that the picker works on the two platforms. I'll do my best to fix the problem by other ways ;) 2010/3/2 René Micout rene.mic...@numericable.com: Slug, Yes, yes, yes for the new version ! Thanks René 8-) But how can I stop using Color Picker ?

Re: Scripting systemWindow
Heh heh. Been there, done that. I think that's why setting the property to *NOT* the property is a better way to go. Less moving parts. I think of properties as variables that remain persistent and are global by nature. Obviously they are a different kind of animal, as anyone on this list will be quick to point out, but from a programmatical point of view it serves me well. One other advantage to accessing a property directly is I can tell any time I want what is in the property. With Variables, I have to be running a script, either in a script or in the message box.

parsing data returned from the foundLine
Hello folks, I have a small 3 column list (tab delimited) where I need to check the contents for duplicate data that may be found in any of two fields or columns, then act on the line that contains that data if found. As an example, in my handler I'm using: find ABC-5678-A in tData put the foundLine into tLineFound answer tLineFound which correctly returns something like: line 2 of field 2 I've tried -several- different ways to parse the returned data for additional processing, but have yet to come up with the right solution. I know this must be extremely easy to do in Rev (there always is, it seems like), but I've run out of hair to pull in trying to figure out what I'm overlooking. Any ideas or maybe a better approach that can be recommended?

Re: OT: Good books on Cocoa dev? (spellcheck woes)
Ian, The look of the spell check dialogue in the RunRevPlanet SpellCheck Stack is completely skinnable so it may be simpler (and much quicker) to make it look the way you need for your Mac application without learning Cocoa. In terms of performance, RRP SpellCheck is fast, with over 25,000 words per second a typical speed for a check. If the RunRevPlanet SpellCheck Stack doesn't currently meet your needs, any specific feedback is most welcome, as I work hard to make stacks from RunRevPlanet do what Revolution users need.

Re: File Associations?
I'm still trying to get Windows file associations on Vista worked out over here and am looking for suggestions. I've set up registry entries based on Ken Ray's tips: http://tinyurl.com/yfmdsht and everything appears to in place. But documents created by my app continue to show up as generic icons. Double-clicking them brings up the What program do you want to use to open...? dialog and my app is listed there, but I can't get Vista to properly display the document icon contained in the standalone. Also, I don't understand how to implement the following so that double-clicked documents open my app: on openStack put $0 into theAppPath put $1 into theDocToOpen -- stuff here to launch the doc in my app? end openStack Currently double-clicking my documents launches multiple instances of my app. I'm using a splash/data stack app setup, and I've tried to pass the doc name to an Open File menu routine. Does the above need to go in the splash standalone, or can it go in card script of my data stack? Am I right in passing the doc name to my Open File handler? Do I need to do something else?

Re: File Associations?
Are you trying to set the registry under Vista without administrative privileges?

Works on my XP system, but I didn't use those function calls to set it up. Instead, I manually created the association by right-clicking a file, selecting Open With, and navigating to my program. You might try removing all the keys you created with Regedit, manually create the association, and then see what the OS put there, so that you can make your program do the same thing. As to your second question, I've never tried the splash/data paradigm, so I can't help. -- Ciao, Paul D.

Re: File Associations?
Hello Scott This post has the scripting I use for Relaunch so that multiple instance of the app won't launch. I'm using it with a Splash-screen design as well. There are 2 script blocks, the first of which has to go at the stack level. The pile of comments indicates how insecure I was with the code.
