Re: How to launch an application (like word from a stack?
André, for what it is worth: in MacOS X you can select the file/application you want to address in the finder, command-C or copy it and paste it into the Rev field/script to get the full path pasted. If you want multiple files you select them in the finder and then drag and drop these files into the field/script to get the paths of all the files. Copy paste will only paste the first file selected. It probably works in Windows too, though not tested. regards Bernd -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/How-to-launch-an-application-like-word-from-a-stack-tp2258617p2259892.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.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: How to launch an application (like word from a stack?

[ANN] Scripter's Scrapbook update to 5.2.17
18-JUN-2010 The Scripter's Scrapbook has today been updated to v5.2.17 with a range of enhancements, bugfixes and adjustments. Written entirely in rev, this is one utility you really should take a look at whether new to scripting or a seasoned veteran. The new version requires engine v2.9 or later. All the starter-kit download bundles and optional standAlone application programs have been updated. This means that The Scripter's Scrapbook is no longer able to support Mac OS 9. EXISTING USERS If you are an existing User, use the update option from within the software. The process is automatic and a new setup will be created for you. You do not even need to copy over your own plugin files as this will be done for you. Your original setup is left untouched so you can, if you wish, revert at any time. If you are using your Scrapbook with a standAlone, visit the downloads site at www.FlexibleLearning.com/ssbk.htm to get an updated application program in Option 3. NEW USERS If you do not have the Scripter's Scrapbook and would like to try it for free for 30 days, go to www.FlexibleLearning.com/ssbk.htm and choose your starter-kit download. Use Option 1 to use it as a Rev plugIn. Use Option 2 to download everything in option 1 plus a standalone application program of your choice so you can use the Scrapbook outside of Rev's IDE. Use Option 3 to download additional application programs for use on other platforms. QUESTIONS and ANSWERS - What is The Scripter's Scrapbook? A personal reference resource library of code and files that you add to as you need, centralising and organising all your re-usable resources of all programming languages in one place. See http://www.revjournal.com/features/scripters-scrapbook.html - Where can I get it? www.FlexibleLearning.com/ssbk.htm - What have others said? http://www.flexiblelearning.com/ssbk/testimonials.html - Where are the dox? http://www.flexiblelearning.com/ssbk/ReadMe.html -- From the dox... 5.2.17 A general maintenance update. Engine version 2.9 or later is now required. Enhancements . The API has been incremented to v1.3 with support for multi-line control structures in both IAC text files and the ScriptMaker. In standAlone applications, these scripts are limited to ten statements. If your script cannot be reduced to this limit, it must be implemented by using sequential API scripts or by using a plugin written in Revolution (see the ssBk API Handbook under the PlugIns menu). Adjustments . The PlugIns menu is now displayed independently for easier access. . The right-click Edit and Style contextual menus now include the option to toggle from one to the other directly without having to use the Preferences each time to set your choice. . Selecting the Source popup menu with the CTRL key now shows all Entries, not just those currently selected. Interface . The File/Page SetUp dialog implements the platform-native setup dialog (requires runtime engine v2.9 or later) . Added a drag image when moving selected text. Bugfixes . On Windows, a hyperLink to a file on an unmounted volume (such as a missing CD) should now be gracefully reported and no longer throw a Windows disk access error. . Persistent arrowKey navigation (by holding down any of the keyboard arrow keys) is now correctly handled when the mouse hovers over the index. . The Context Options palette now immediately reflects an Entry name change. . Right-clicking a Memo no longer throws an error. . Registration requires Administrator privileges for XP. Non-Administrator registration access is now correctly handled. - Hugh Senior FLCo www.FlexibleLearning.com (Home of the Scripter's Scrapbook) ___ 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

Forward and Reverse filtering a List field
Hi All, Platform: WinXP revStudio: 4.0 I'm building an app that populates SQL Server data into a list field that is defined as a table. The table data delimiter is the tab char. All this works fine. I'd like to build a filter system for the table data. The list would be filtered by typing a value into any column filter field, which is placed above each column. So if there are 4 columns, then there are 4 filter fields, having the possibility of an accumulative filter. Typing into or editing a filter field will filter the list for each character typed. Including backspacing a character or deleting any existing character. I've already built a prototype for this, and when typing a filter, the script works OK. In the on rawKeyDown handler, I first put the table data into a local variable and filter on it. Then put the variable back into the field. These ideas I got from searching the archive list. Problem is when I backspace a filter field character (conceptually reverting the filter), the data is not there, as it has already been filtered and put back into the field. Resulting in an incorrect data set. Question: so how do I build a filter system that can filter forward (typing ahead) and filter in reverse (editing existing filter value or filter revert)?

Re: Forward and Reverse filtering a List field
All you really need to do for this is to keep the full dataset in storage somewhere. Since the field will be mutable, keep a variable or property with the complete data, copy IT into your temp variable and filter away. If your dataset isn't too too large this should work fine. IE Do your sql query, put the data into a script local variable. Then in your filter handler, load the full dataset into a temp variable, do your 4 consecutive filters so they're cumulative and put the temp data into the output field. And you still have your unchanged local variable to check against on the next keypress. While probably not the most optimized method, it seems acceptably fast with 20k lines on my slug of a machine. I've attached a sample stack, most of the code is in the stack script.

Stack objects: button: Load Accounts fld: Filter fld: List Load Button script: --=== global dbConnID, gList on mouseUp put revOpenDatabase(odbc,adaptSAMPLE) into dbConnID if dbConnID is not a number then answer error DB Connection error: dbConnID exit to top end if put SELECT Account_Number,Account_Name,Account_Manager FROM account ORDER BY Account_Name into tSQL put revDataFromQuery(,,dbConnID,tSQL) into fld List set the itemDel to tab sort lines of fld List by item 1 of each put fld List into gList --put the returned data into a global for use in the filter end mouseUp --=== fld List script: --=== global gList local tList on rawKeyDown put gList into tList put the text of me into tText filter tList with tText * put tList into fld List pass rawKeyDown end rawKeyDown --=== For each key stroke the script gets the original data and puts it into the local tList var. So it filters on the original data set for each key stroke. This could be slow. The Filter fld script seems to work, but the behavior is a little strange. When typing in the first character (for a starting value in the list I know is there), it does nothing - it does not filter. When I type the second character, it is like it is the first character typed in. It seems it's one character behind in applying the filter. What's up with that? Is my script anywhere near to work correctly and efficiently?

Re: Forward and Reverse filtering a List field
I just noticed a mistake in my reply.

Datagrid lost focus to next cell
Hi, I have a datagrid inside a group. I add a row and doubleclick to edit the cell value, and pressing tab key jump to the next cell. But If I fill some value and press tab, the next cell is edit but lost the focus and the datagrid still in edit mode but without the focus. Why? The same datagrid with the group run fine.

Re: Forward and Reverse filtering a List field
Well the reason it lags by 1 char is because it does the compare on keydown. The letter doesn't actually show in the field till the key is up. You could switch your handler to rawkeyup instead to solve that portion easily. As for speed, there are surely ways that can optimize the script such as how you apply your filters. IE if you have 4 filters as you suggest, only 1 field will be typed into at a time, which means that you can pre-filter with the 3 off fields first and use THAT data with each keypress in the current field. So the first keypress in the field would filter based on all 4 filter fields, all subsequent would do a single filter. However, I tried my sample stack with 100k lines and it was acceptably fast. I'll send the attachment directly to my sample stack as cc directly to you. Also, was wondering if a datagrid might be better for this than a table, but the table field works well enough if thats all you need.

Re: Forward and Reverse filtering a List field
Hi Mike, I'll send the attachment directly to my sample stack as cc directly to you. Also, was wondering if a datagrid might be better for this than a table, but the table field works well enough if thats all you need. I'll be looking for your email. Thanx. Concerning why I haven't used the Datagrid: I have used it in other projects, but I'm finding that using the field as a table, I know what's going on. The DataGrid is too complicated for little ol' me. I like to keep things simple. Less maintenance. rawKeyDown... duhh!! I've changed it to rawKeyUp and that nailed it. Thanx again.

RE: make standalone (was 2 quick questions)
Funny you should mention that. My first app is something similar... a notepad (just for its simplicity and completeness). It has (appropriately) a text field, cards are numbered (so I know how many there are), and buttons for forwards, backwards, begin, end, create, delete and save notes. Now, I want to compile to a standalone but I don;t understand the instruction to split my stack so I can save the notes? I just have the one stack. Any suggestions?

Re: make standalone (was 2 quick questions)
The caveat about saving anything in a compiled rev app is that no runtime app can be modified. Otherwise, anyone could interject their own malicious code and you would run that code simply by launching the app next time you ran it. Normally this would not be a problem for apps that only used cards as forms as a front end to a database. But you want your app itself to contain the data as card, old HyperCard style. So the way to write this for an app is to have the main stack that gets compiled launch the actual stack that is your app. Some have the main stack be a kind of splash screen that shows for a few seconds, then hides itself and opens the real stack which you would add as a file that gets included with the main app. Make sense?

Thanks Bob, that makes perfect sense but... just mechanically I was not sure what hoops to jump through. Ok, let me try and see what I come up with. 10 mins in, still see no solution. IS Notepad a substack of my new Startup stack or a stack file attached to Startup? I guess I'll try both while I'm waiting... I think this is one area in the User Guide (Chapter 10) that could use a bit more explaining... something like: How to Create a Startup Stack?

The selection caret position
Is there a way for me to specifically tell Rev where within the current selection the caret or insertion point actually is? My problem is that Rev always does it's damnedest to keep the current insertion point visible within a field. So, if I were to select line N of some field in code, then the field would scroll as for to the right as possible (when I don't want it to). Similarly, if I were to select a bunch of lines, Rev will always scroll the field down to the bottom, when sometimes I actually want it to stay at the top of the selection. Is there some way for me to do this? Thanks!
