tDisabledStatus variable will contain a boolean value (true or false).
Or build a more generic function:

[ANN] Rev 2.5.1 Documentation Enhancer now available
Hi everyone, As you know it, only the last visited topic in the Topics, Objects or Bookmarks sections of the Revolution Documentation is displayed when opening again the docs. But other previous consultings and all of them in the dictionnary section are lost :-( So I wrote an "enhancer" which adds a check box labeled "Remember my navigation" at the bottom of the "Getting started" card of the docs. When this box is checked, the last visited topic in the dictionnary section is automatically displayed when opening this section again. In addition, the ten last visited topics - in any section and even between 2 sessions - stay available in the "back" pop up menu. When the box is unchecked, Rev documentation behaves strictly as it usually does. Check your version: For Rev 2.5.1: go url "http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/downloads/DocsPatch251.rev"; For Rev 2.5, the patch I posted lately (less sophisticated since you can't turn the feature on or off) is always available: go url "http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/downloads/Docs%20Patch.rev"; Both stacks perform in same way by adding some additional props in the Rev Preferences stack. Both stacks have been tested on Mac OS X and Win XP. The cantModify of the documentation stack is of course preserved. To ensure your security , enhancers save your current docs before installing.

Re : scale w/ ticks and snap-to
Hi Richard, Paul and Ken, In my last post, point 3 was nonsense ;-) 3. In the scrollbarDrag handler, I prefer set the thumbPos of me to round(the thumbPos of me) to set the thumbPos of me to the thumbPos of me: Using round function allows the cursor to follow exactly the mouse movement and snap gently at mouseUp Without round function, the cursor snaps when the mouse is down (it always wins this terrific struggle...) and I don't like interface elements that don't obey to the user (i.e. me :-) In fact, you are right: using the round function is unnecessary. The difference is that you use set the thumbPos of me to the thumbPos of me in a scrollbarDrag handler and I use it in the mouseUp handler. So the cursor follows exactly the mouse movement and snap gently at mouseUp or snaps when scrollbarDragging...

I had hoped to find a snap-as-you-go behavior, and I've gotten close but it's still a tad jerky (if only we had a preScrollBarDrag message ). But here's where things get freaky - try this at home: 1.

With a scale of 1 to 5, I would expect 5. Ultra-freak-o-rama: Éric's has the same properties set just like mine, but his has 5 (count 'em, five!) tick marks. Works the same in Rev and MC.

Re : scale w/ ticks and snap-to
Hi Richard, Paul and Ken, I would add some points to your today enjoyment about scrollbars ;-) 1. It is a Mac OS issue since there are no ticks on Windows scrollbars... (I love ergonomics!) 2. You are right, the workaround does work from 4 to 15, but not for 2, 3 or more than 15! 3. In the scrollbarDrag handler, I prefer set the thumbPos of me to round(the thumbPos of me) to set the thumbPos of me to the thumbPos of me: Using round function allows the cursor to follow exactly the mouse movement and snap gently at mouseUp Without round function, the cursor snaps when the mouse is down (it always wins this terrific struggle...) and I don't like interface elements that don't obey to the user (i.e. me :-) That's with OS X, I don't test it with Win32. Thanks for bugzilla this irritating feature.

Sure you can watch easily for other rev windows overlapping the image and smoothly move them first. For desktop and other apps windows, I think using shell commands would be doable to mask them first and show them again when the process is finished but I don't know which ones.

Re: Typing foreign characters in RunRev

What happens if you use a US keyboard instead of a German/French/Portuguese keyboard, can you still type them? The keyboards work differently according to the language and the keys are not the same in each language (I am telling about hardware). When a language uses often accentuated vowels, umlauts or tilde, the corresponding keyboard offers the right keys without any combination. You can get them too on any keyboard but you have to know how to get them and it's often a little tricky. If you don't count unicode languages, you can find more than 30 different "standard" keyboards... For instance the first keys are "azerty" in French, "qwerz" in German and "qwerty" in English... Imagine what happens for the other keys: "]" in english is "+" in German, "$" in French and Italian, a key combination in Spanish and Portuguese (but not the same: "`" and "´"), etc. Then, if you are using Mac OS X, activate the languages you want in the international preferences panel, ask for displaying the corresponding menu into the menubar and open the keyboard utility : you will able to test all the keyboards you desire :-) I never find such an utility in the Windows environment...

Listing all files on a ftp server
Hi,
I saw a few days ago questions and right answers about a script that
would look at 1 directory and provide a complete hierarchial list of
all files within all folders and subfolders.
Here is a complementary function for tracking all files within all
folders and subfolders on a FTP server.
I did not test it yet on windows nor Linux but it works fine with OS X.
So:
put word 1 to -1 of AllFilesOnServer("/www/") -- any folder on the
server finishing by a slash
-
function AllFilesOnServer pStartDir
local tUserName,tPassword,tServer,tPort,tUrl,tDirectories,tDir,
tFoldersList, tFilesList, tOtherFilesList
-
put fld "FTPUserName" into tUserName -- from user prefs
put fld "FTPPassword" into tPassword -- from user prefs
put fld "FTPServerAddress" into tServer -- from user prefs
put fld "FTPPort" into tPort -- from user prefs
if tPort = empty then put 21 into tPort
-
replace numToChar(13) with empty in pStartDir -- important
put "ftp://"; & tUserName & colon & tPassword & "@" & tServer & colon
& tPort & pStartDir into tUrl
if the platform = "MacOS" then put isotoMac(URL tUrl) into
tDirectories
else put URL tUrl into tDirectories
-
if the result = empty then
sort tDirectories
replace numToChar(13) with empty in tDirectories
-
repeat for each line tDir in tDirectories
set cursor to busy
if "." is not in tDir then put pStartDir & FormatAsFolder(tDir) &
cr after tFoldersList -- ∆
else put pStartDir & tDir & cr after tFilesList
-- assuming that all files have an extension (.php, .gif, etc.)
-- if not sure, use a try structure instead
end repeat
-
if tFoldersList <> empty then
delete last char of tFoldersList
repeat for each line tFolder in tFoldersList
put AllFilesOnServer(tFolder) into tList -- recursion
if tList <> empty then put tList after tOtherFilesList
end repeat
end if
return tFilesList & tOtherFilesList
else return the result -- error
end AllFilesOnServer
function FormatAsFolder pPath
if last char of pPath <> slash then return pPath & slash
return pPath
end FormatAsFolder

Disabled submenu items on Win XP
Hi all, Some weeks ago, I asked for a question about disabled menu items but I probably was not clear enough and I got no answer. So: Imagine a menu with submenus. For somes reasons depending on the context, the first item in a submenu has to be disabled but the following ones in the submenu are enabled. On Mac OS, there is no problem: so long you are in the menu area, flying over enabled or disabled menu items makes no difference and the menu stays. On Windows, if the first submenu item is disabled, you cant catch the following enabled submenu items: the menu vanishes :-( Is that correct behavior according to some guide lines I dont know on Windows or is it a kind (...) of bug ?

Disabled submenu items on Win XP
Hi all, Some weeks ago, I asked for a question about disabled menu items but I probably was not clear enough and I got no answer. So: Imagine a menu with submenus. For somes reasons depending on the context, the first item in a submenu has to be disabled but the following ones in the submenu are enabled. On Mac OS, there is no problem: so long you are in the menu area, flying over enabled or disabled menu items makes no difference and the menu stays. On Windows, if the first submenu item is disabled, you cant catch the following enabled submenu items: the menu vanishes :-( Is that correct behavior according to some guide lines I dont know on Windows or is it a kind (...) of bug ?

Behavior of pop-up menus MacOS versus Win 32
Hi all, I wrote a project with Mac OSX and Rev 2.5. There are some pop-up menus with sub menus. Sub items can be enabled or disabled. With Mac OSX, no problem. Optimizing now this project for Win 32 (rev 2.5 & XP), I found that it is impossible to select an enabled sub menu item if the first sub menu item (or more) is disabled: the menu vanishes before you can catch anything ;-( I wonder that!

Re: ask cursor (conclusion)
In your case, the best is to write your own ask dialog as a substack of your main stack. You will call this window with the "modal" command. Clone (see this command in rev docs) the original Ask dialog stack to use it as a basis. Le 5 oct. 04, à 21:27, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Hi, Eric. Thanks so much for your response. I don't think that such a feature is perfectly appropriate, regarding to human interface guidelines whichever of the platforms you use.

But if you want this, as ask dialog is a modal window, you have to modify As Dialog stack by adding (for instance) select after text of field id 1119 So, you're suggesting to put this code in the preopenstack handler of some stack called "As Dialog"?

What does it mean to restore one? When you use ask and answer commands in a script, Ask and Answer dialogs stacks are called by the engine. If you modify these stacks for your own purposes, you will restore them once the modified version has been included when creating a stand alone (.app or . exe). If you don't restore them, you will never find again standard dialogs in the IDE, in the others stacks you will receive or create!
