Re: data from USB joystick
Exactly and that is why I did not mention it in my first response because it sounded to me like he wanted to write code that is going to allow his program to communicate with a USD device and not depend on anything but his program. Which brings us back to my answer that I was writing a stack that uses the serial port commands. I can send it to anyone who wants it and it will open the port and allow you to send text but after a certain amount of text is sent nothing else will be sent which makes me think Rev is using a memory buffer that fills up and unless you can empty this buffer you will not be able to send more text. I found to communicate with a USD device on a mac with Rev which is now Livecode you need to open the serial port and then you need a driver to communicate with the USB device. Someone gave me a driver that might work but I never finished the stack for a couple of reasons. One of the reasons was the problem of the buffer overflow or what ever is causing things to stop. At the time Mark Schonewille was thinking the file might need to be sent as a binary so I coded it to be sent as a binary and the problem was exactly the same. It might be possible to use the ADT commands to control the buffer if you are using a modem but even if you can I am not sure if they would work on everything. So it sounds if he wants to do it he will need to rely on some external programs like you mentioned but if anyone knows the answer or wants the serial port stack I have created to test please let me know. -=JB=- On Sep 28, 2010, at 10:17 PM, Richmond wrote: On 09/29/2010 01:05 AM, -=JB=- wrote: The info below is from the USB Overdrive docs. • Introduction ◊ The USB Overdrive is a universal USB driver that handles all USB mice, trackballs, joysticks and gamepads from any manufacturer and lets you configure them either globally or on an application-specific basis.

The USB Overdrive can easily handle several USB devices at once- I have two mice, one trackball, two joysticks and one gamepad connected to the same iMac, and each of them comes from a different manufacturer. ◊ Because each control in each device can be fully configured, the USB Overdrive lets you use any joystick or gamepad with any game, including the ones that don't support Apple's InputSprocket. You can map your joystick movements and buttons to the keyboard and mouse to make the game believe you're playing on the keyboard, and you can do this mapping separately for each game so that it's immediately available as soon as the game is launched. ◊ The mouse settings allow you to speed up your daily tasks by assigning useful actions to all the extra buttons and wheels in your USB mouse. You'll typically want to assign a control-click to the right button for easy contextual menu acces, and enable document scrolling if your mouse has a scrolling wheel. ◊ The Control Panel includes an active help feature that explains each command and option as you move the cursor around. -=JB=- Of course this STILL means an end-user has to install something other than just a RunRev / LiveCode standalone. ___ 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 ___ 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: sqlite: foreign keys
Le 28 sept. 2010 à 23:59, Monte Goulding a écrit : Just use an in-memory db. ooo, that's a new one to me. Is it possible to write it out to a file later? Hi, Running SQLite without a database file creates an in-memory database. Using the .dump command will dump that in-memory DB to a SQL file that can then be re-read into a file-backed database (or back into a memory database) But Sqlite caches data in memory so a file based database and memory based perform much the same. Well, depends of what you want to achieve...

controls with ID 0
Hi all, I have a very strange situation where controls get a ID of 0. I had this problem with runrev 4 and now also with the new livecode It has happened a couple of times in different stacks. I create a control in a grp and the control ends up having a ID of 0. It's happened with btn's and now with a fld. It's very frustrating 'cause one of the consequences is that I can't put text in that fld. I managed to put text in the fld using a long id but then I get a formattedWidth of 0 I have the following statements in a script: put the with of tFldId into tWidth (tFldId is a long id. tWidth becomes 129) put the formattedWidth of tFldId into tFormattedWidth (tFormattedWidth becomes 0) This happens every time I create the control. Well actualy I copy a tmplt grp from a stack to a grp in another stack. What should I do? This looks like quite a bug to me.

where to put script libraries
Folks, I've seen from some previous emails that if you put a script library in: revEnvironmentUserPluginsPath() ../resources/script libraries/ it will be picked automatically by standalone builder in case it is needed. Can someone (Monte?) confirm that this still the case? I am building a new version of my LiveCode package manager and this would be a wonderful thing to support. To be able to quickly install a library from remote and have it constantly available for your IDE use and be included automatically on standalones. If someone could spare a word or two on this would be great! I am aware that I will need a plugin to put all the library stacks into use when the IDE launches. andre -- http://www.andregarzia.com All We Do Is Code. ___ 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've seen from some previous emails that if you put a script library in: revEnvironmentUserPluginsPath() ../resources/script libraries/ it will be picked automatically by standalone builder in case it is needed. Can someone (Monte?) confirm that this still the case? Sorry Andre, after some testing I found that unfortunately this has been broken some time between when I wrote the standalone builder and now. That's a fair while so I'm not all that surprised given it was an undocumented and unused feature. It's only partly broken though because the library still appears in the list of inclusions. From memory my intention was to follow this feature up with a script library stack manager in the IDE but funds at RunRev were very tight at the time and I got into other projects. You could make it work by trapping savingStandalone and copying a library loader into the build (or just adding to the stackfiles property if you want to start using only by script) then trapping standaloneSaved and copying the stackfiles into the build. Don't forget to pass these messages or you may break revObjective and the InstallGadget plugin.
