Can you not use windows magnifier, from the accessories menu? This will work
on anything displayed on the screen so is application independent.

Gentlepeople,

I have to take exception to this. Visually challenged as I am, virtually all
Windows applications, including the Desktop, are mostly impossible for me to
read. Particularly the Dialogs. I realize there is an ability to use a
larger text, but far too limited. I need to blow things up really big.
Occasionally I'll have a problem with Mac apps as well. I really dislike the
size of things in iChat. I wish there were a way to increase the size of the
Main Menus. With my large screen I have plenty of Real Estate.

Sorry for the gripping! Wait'll my hearing gets worse. (smile)

Re: Build settings for Mac OSX - feedback

2010-07-09 Thread Steve King
Hi Jacqueline & Bob

I think the version is 10.5.3? But this was just from a very quick glance
and I will have to check again. It was very lpeasing it just ran though.

Yes, I meant Answer file (not ask). I do use qualifier extensions in answer
dialogue but I will check exactly how I have defined this. It looks like I
will have to change the SAC one for mac, but this isn't a big deal.

I declared the types in both the Document type and document extension part
of the standalone builder, using comma separated SAC, SACp for both. Maybe
this is not correct?

The problem with the folders is a bit different.
The structure I use is 
Documents > SAC > Dives
> Preferences
And the SAC files are in Dives, the SACp in preferences. In windows this
works as expected. In the mac I found all the files were in the SAC folder
not the lower folders, but the Dives and Preferences folders were created by
the application. When I save the files I save them with the appropriate
extension. Is the "/" in the script the same way round in all platforms?
If I save my files with the extension, do I then stil need to use   'set the
filetype to "SACp"'?

I'll have a more careful look at the code and may have to borrow the Mac for
a day to test a bit more.

Cheers
Steve

Cool. Do you know which version of OS X he's running? I wonder if that 
makes a difference.

They should work identically, except on OS X the folder is called 
"Documents" instead of "My Documents". If you put the function's return 
value into a variable and use it that way, it should behave exactly as 
it does on Windows.

Since you're asking the use to choose an existing file, you mean the 
"answer file" command, right? The "ask file" command is for creating new 
files.

The dimming is probably due to the file selectors you're passing in 
answer file. The syntax that works on both platforms is:

   answer file  with type "|SAC,SACp|SACSACp"

The last bit is the file types you put in your plist, with no spaces 
between. They don't need spaces or delimiters because all file type 
codes are exactly 4 characters. But -- big but -- the "SAC" type is only 
three characters so it won't work. You can have different Mac file types 
from their equivalent Windows extensions. If you add another character 
to SAC you don't necessarily have to add it to the Windows extension too.

Also, unless you've actually created your files with those file types 
assigned, the file dialog may not recognize them anyway, and they'll be 
dimmed as you describe.

You can either change your scripts to write files with the correct file 
types before you create them, or you can leave off the file specifier in 
the "answer file" command and hope your users choose the right kind of 
file. You could do some error checking when the file opens in that case 
to see if they did.

To save your files with a Mac file type, add this line somewhere before 
you do any file saving operations:

  set the filetype to "SACp" -- or SAC, but add another character

This also works with regular open/write/close file commands. It does not 
work with stacks; to set the filetype of a stack, use the stackFileType 
in the same way. You can set the filetype once on openstack and it will 
stay that way until you change it. You don't need it before every file 
save unless each one needs a different file type. Windows and Linux will 
ignore the command, it's Mac-only.

Re: Build settings for Mac OSX - feedback

2010-07-08 Thread Steve King
Dear All,

Thanks for your help on icons and standalone builder for a windows built
deployment on OSX

Did my first test installation on a friends mac yesterady, and it worked
(sort of). 

Firstly, iconfx built the icons fine, so building mac icons with iconfx in
windows works well

The execution bit. Interestingly, this wasn't needed. I just dragged the
bundle over (as created by Rev using guidance from Jacqueline) and double
clicked the executable and it ran all on its own!

The problem. My application is built to save two files (text) with
extensions SAC and SACp. These are saved (in windows) in a folder under my
documents so I use specialfolderpath for this. The files save though not
quite in the right place, but this is probably due to some minor fix I need
to make with specialfolders. The problem is loading them back. When I use
the ask prompt, the saved file is present in the dialogue box but in light
grey so I can't select it (click on it) to load it. I have another file
(preferences) that the program saves and loads itself and interestingly this
works seemlessly, so it seems to be only a problem when using the dialogue.
Is it something to do wioth doc types and extensions? In the builder I
declared Type and extension as SAC, SACP.

Any suggestions appreciated

Cheers
Steve

I can't figure out why that's happening, since file dialogs halt the 
script until they are closed.

You could avoid the whole issue by not using the screen coordinates 
(which capture everything) and instead use the card as the reference. 
That will capture only the card's bitmap and will ignore any other 
windows that are open.

  export snapshot from this card to file UserFileName as JPEG

Re: Rev Studio - How to determine the file location of the

2010-07-04 Thread Steve King
Hi Mark

I'm not sure I explained myself too well, but looks like this will work
either in the message box or in the stack itself I guess. What I meant was
knowing where the original stack file came from on my drive when I came to
save it again (outside the app). When using SaveAs, Rev displays the
Defaultfolder as set by the app not the original folder the file came from.
For example, if I open a file from EXCEL, then do a SaveAs I get the same
folder again. In Rev, if running the Stack changes the defaultFolder, then
SaveAs points to this folder as well. It wasn't clear to me in the docs that
the IDE folder pointers were also modified when testing an app in the IDE

This should do fine though, 
Cheers

Problem with script working in IDE but not in Standalone studio 4

2010-07-03 Thread Steve King
Hi

I have a button scrip that did work in standalone, and always works in the
IDE but now will not work in the standalone!

The card has several fields in two sets that take action when data is
entered, fields are set so that retunr gives Close Field message.

I then have a radio button that selects either set 1 or set 2 fields, Each
of the two buttons has the same script (below) that simply sends CloseField
to each of the fields so that they update themselves. 

on mouseUp
   send CloseField to fld "18m"
   send CloseField to fld "15m"
   send CloseField to fld "12m"
   send CloseField to fld "9m"
   send CloseField to fld "6m"
   send CloseField to fld "3m"
   send CloseField to fld "ABT"
   send CloseField to fld "ABT_B"
   send CloseField to fld "RNT"
   send CloseField to fld "RNT_B"
   send CloseField to fld "Depth"
   send CloseField to fld "Depth_B"
end mouseUp 

It works fine in the IDE but will not work when in a Standalone. Oddly, the
Flds "18m" though to "3m" do seem to work, the others don't!

For info script of fld "BT" is (which doesn't update fld "Image_depth"

On CloseField  
  if the highlight of button "Nominal" of group "Dive_Plan" then 
  put fld "Depth" & "m" into fld "Image_Depth"
  else
  put fld "Depth_B"  & "m" into fld "Image_Depth"
end if
end CloseField

And script of fld "18m" is (which does update fld "Image_18m)

on CloseField
   if the highlight of button "Nominal" of group "Dive_Plan" then 
  put Nom_Stop & return into fld "Image_18m"
  else
  put Back_Stop  into fld "Image_18m"
end if
end CloseField

Anyone seen this before and have any suggestions??

statement switch to the first tabbed card. I do this simple by

Send "menupick Dive Planner"

Unfortunately, this switches the card but not the tabs.

I have tried changing Dive Planner to Dive_Planner just in case it doesn't

Didn't really think it would, since your script doesn't use the "rev-"

This looks fine to me, but the docs do mention that the orientation 
won't change until "open printing" is called. Theoretically the "print 
card" command should do that behind the scenes, which makes me wonder 
why it works in the IDE but not in your standalone. But on the off 
chance that's what's wrong, try substituting your "print this card" line 
with this:

open printing
print this card
close printing

That may give the engine the wake-up it needs.

Re trouble with Tab Panels

2010-05-03 Thread Steve King
Hi Mark

That sort of fixed it - should have guessed from background saying put after
card in message path Realised I had two problems though, one not passing
and secondly the tab panel seems to have a different group ID on one card.
So now it works on two cards (having same Tab panel ID)  and not quite right
on the third, with a different ID. I suspect I put this one in maually on
card 1 before I designated as background on card 2 and created card 3 from
that. I suspect If I delete the offending cards and regenerate new cards all
will be well now.

Many Thanks
Steve

Printing in Windows

2010-05-02 Thread Steve King
Hi All

I am also having problems printing in Windows. 

In development, setting print orientation works fine. In the standalone it
doesn't. I get Landscape in the development but portrait (the printer
default) in the standalone. 

I do the following

Read printer orientation
Store it
Set it to landscape
Print
Wait 2 seconds (incase being set to portrait to quickly)
Set back to portrait

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Steve

Trouble with Tabbed Panel in Windows

2010-05-02 Thread Steve King
Hi All

Any help would be appreciated

I am using Rev 4.0, windows 7

With the tabbed Panel I find it takes multiple clicks on the tab to get the
tab to change colour correctly. First click changes card, then second
changes tab highlght

I am using simply..
On MenuPick theCard
Go to Card theCard
End MenuPick

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Steve

Doing an action when focussing out of a field

2010-04-30 Thread Steve King
Hi All

I know this is going to be really really basic, but I haven't used Rev for a
couple of years and cannot get this simple thing to work

Enter characters into a field
When losing focus from that field, take the content of that filed, add
contents of field B and put into field C. A bit spreadsheet like

I have tried OnFocusOut ... Put.. but the target fld "C" is not updated! I
have also tried with MouseUp and OnReturn still target Fld C does not update

Cheers
Steve
