Re: DataGrid AddData issue
2010/3/13 Jeffrey Massung mass...@gmail.com: So, I'm not quite sure the best way around this problem, hoping Trevor or someone here can help... It looks like AddData doesn't instantly add the data to a DG form (haven't tried a table). So, for example, if I were to do the following: ## inside the DG group control on doSomething -- .. construct some data .. addData tData get the dgNumberOfLines of me get the dgDataControlOfIndex[it] of me -- .. do something with the data control .. The problem here is that the data control I get back is not of the row I just added, but rather the row previous to it. This is really problematic as I'd like to call a handler on that control, but only when it's created. I also can't wait a little bit of time because several rows may be added in between. My best work-around thought for now is to have a flag in tData that is set to true so that FillInData can check it and call the appropriate handler and set it to false, but that's pretty hacky and I'd prefer being able to do it some other way.

Data Grid Column Header Alignment Changes after column resize
I'm trying to use my first Data Grid (table) in a stack and I need to set the column Header alignment for a few of the columns. Following the instructions in the DG manual, I entered the alignments using the message box and it looked fine. But then I resized one of the columns and all of the alignments changed, some of them even aligning themselves such that only half of the text showed in the column. Do I need to set the alignments every time the grid is displayed?

Re: Data Grid Column Header Alignment Changes after column resize
Thank you, André On more question if I may, where exactly would I put a handler that would set the color of each row according to the value of one of the columns? For example, if column (database field actually) status is 'I' then I want the row to be green. If it's 'R' then I want it to be pink, etc. I don't mind that the selection will turn the current row blue, but I need a way to set it back again and of course, to set the colors when the data is loaded originally.

But, you should be aware that the encrypt command requires a password/key, which will also be needed to decrypt the data. While you may be able to encrypt it with the message box or via some other means, you'll need the password/key in a script somewhere to decrypt it... thereby nullifying any hope of secrecy for whatever the data happens to contain.

Now for the encryption... base64 is not encryption.

If it is another stack, then Rev can open it from memory. Otherwise, no. The usual solution is to write to the temp directory, with an obscure name if you want, and then delete the file later when you're done with it. -- 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

I just feel it important to note that (depending upon your needs) this is very far from secure. First, the temporary file can be intercepted mid-operation by a secondary process that's monitoring yours and watching the OS for new open file handles (all easily doable). Second, you'd have to blast the disk sectors where the temporary file happened to be written to with random data (perhaps several times over) to ensure that you eradicated the once you were done with it. Sorry if that's way over-the-top, but when someone mentions encryption, network security, copy protection, etc, I just want to make sure someone doesn't leave thinking something is a great solution when it possibly isn't (again, given your needs, this may be more than adequate).

Re: Add file to Custom Property
The data will be stored in a different stack. How does that make it different? Bill Vlahos Sent from my iPhone On Mar 13, 2010, at 6:08 PM, J.

Re: Quartam Reports Image Path
Jan, I tried setting the defaultFolder to that in which the report file and the image are located. I did this at the beginning of the mouseUp handler in the data broker button. I then just put the name of the image file into to source property of the image in the report file. I also tried putting ./and the image file name. Neither worked. Any ideas? -- Alex Adams hawkVision tools for solving Wicked Problems (a)2 Technology Partners, Inc. 831-726-8013 a...@a2tecnology.com hawkVisionInfo.wordpress.com universalConnector.wordpress.com From: Jan Schenkel janschen...@yahoo.com Reply-To: How to use Revolution use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2010 09:26:06 -0800 (PST) To: How to use Revolution use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Subject: Re: Quartam Reports Image Path --- On Fri, 3/12/10, Alex Adams a...@a2technology.com wrote: I am including an icon in each Quartam report that I am building.

Thanks, -- Alex Adams Hi Alex, You're not per se limited to absolute paths - if you specify a relative path in the filename field, the revEngine will look for your image in a few places.
