Re: RUNREV 2.6 DOESN'T WORK
From a functionality point of view, I've experienced no problems using Rev on Linux, although I've never tried using any special characters. I do though, fully agree with Damien about the look of the applications in comparison to the Windows (and I assume, Mac) counterparts. There are some really dramatic differences in the display quality, especially when it comes to fonts. I run Rev Studio on Windows, but purchased a separate Dreamcard license for use on Linux, just so I have a better feel for the differences. My linux development goes something like this: Build app on Dreamcard running on native linux, compile using Rev Studio on Win '98 (running in Win4Lin), test executable on native Linux... Once I'm satisfied with the Linux version, I reboot into XP, make any necessary adjustments to the UI and compile stack again for Windows. I'm not sure what the solution might be, but it would be more than appreciated. -Doc- On 6/7/05, Damien Girard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Richard Gaskin a écrit : Damien Girard wrote: Hi all, I think I will become crazy, but I wait, I am waiting a Runtime Revolution that WORK under linux.

Problems with resource mages
Hello folks, I've built a simple test stack where I imported a dozen images fom a folder directly into the stack as resources. Then I added a blank graphic object for use as a container to display the images in. Next step was to add a text field (named search) in order to enter the name of an image I'd like to display, along with a second field (named ext) to hold the file extension for the image. Finally, I added a button to click, which holds my script. I have no problems displaying images into my container using either a local file or URL location, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to display an image directly from within the stack file itself. on mouseUp put field search field ext into tGraphic set the imageSource of Image to tGraphic end mouseUp When I run the script above, the debugger clearly shows that the filename of the image is being built correctly, so I assume that my problem is related to getting the correct resource ID of the image.

Put the *scripts* for those handlers at the card level rather than the background level. Pressing a button in the group might, e.g., send the message iGotClicked in all cases (because you cannot have different scripts for the objects in a single group without doing a lot of conditional processing as far as I can come up with off the top of my head).

protecting images in a standalone
Hello folks, Maybe someone out there can point me in the right direction... I'm finally getting started with my standalone DB app and need some ideas on how to go about protecting a *bunch* of jpg images that are used in the database. My preference is to continue hosting them on a remote server for use as needed, but the new consensus is that I need to built a fully standalone app. :( I've thought about just dumping them into a folder using an odd file naming convention along with an extention other than jpg, which would deter most average folks from pilfering. On the other hand, although there is no great value to anyone other than a few potential competitors, this will be a commercial app and the images are of a certain proprietary nature. Any ideas or suggestions for a better protection scheme that could be incorporated into a REV app? -Doc- ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

One more question for the evening
I'm almost ready for my weekend marathon of Rev coding, but I need some help in understanding how to add one more enhancement to my app before going too much further. Let's say that after I've extracted and displayed data from my database (mostly in static labels), I want the user to be able to click a button and add the contents of certain fields into a table. After the initial row of data is added to to the table (no problemo), how would I script the same action for subsequent clicks? Shopping list style: Click -- adds a can of beans to row one in the table New Query Click -- add a loaf of bread to the second row New Query Click -- add a (...well, you get the general idea) I've only played around with the idea a small bit, but I guess from reading the doc's I'm missing something in my understanding...

Re: Databasing with Rev... design considerations
Valentina would work, but first I suggest you try an internal method as you suggest. Make a data stack, either as a separate stack file or as a sub-stack of your interface stack. You have 4 tables, so give it 4 fields and stick your data in them. If it is all comma separated, then it's easy to extract various items for display in the interface. Use the filter command to find certain records, taking care to filter a copy of the data, not the original as filter removes non-matching lines e.g. put fld Table1 of stack Data into tData filter tData with * tWordToFind * put tData into fld FoundRecords When you build the app, if the data stack is a sub-stack, make sure you check the box that says, save sub-stacks as separate files. This means they can be written to and saved again. Cheers, Sarah [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.troz.net/Rev/ Thanks for the heads up, Sarah. I'll definitely give it a try in that direction. :) As a newb, one of the things I've learned about using Rev so far is that lacking a good understanding of it's capabilities can be more of a difficulty than coding the actual solution. ...and the reason I read *everything* on this list.

Re: Databasing with Rev... design considerations
The internal as you call it solution will surely work. It will be tricky, though, to get anywhere close to performance that Valentina will offer when searching 25,000 records. Not mentioning allowing far more advanced search options without any effort. Robert Hello Robert, I suspect that you are right in that I'll be pushing pretty close to usable limits with a table of this size. I'm guessing however that since I don't need any advanced search features for this app, Rev will be at least on par with the speed of my spreadsheet app or Windows notepad's find option for the same data... Worst case, I'll learn some new coding techniques with Rev before having to look for an external solution. ;) -Doc- ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Databasing with Rev... design considerations
Now that the mySQL version of my first Rev app has proven to work so well (thanks to all who helped me out!), I'm trying to get my head wrapped around the process of building a static version. By stactic, I mean non-server based, for folks who have slow (or no) internet connections. The app requires 4 tables of data, the largest of which has 10 fields and around 25,000 records when complete. This app basically functions as a searchable lookup table and will not be editable by the user, nor do I wish for the user to have access to the data other than from within my application. The simplest method I can think of is to somehow store and use CSV data files (exported from the mySQL version) from a separate stack, but I unfortunately don't have a clue as to how to set something like this up. What might be the best approach here? -Doc- ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Basic database primer V1
Hello Bob, I just grabbed the tutorial stack and would also like to say thanks for your effort! :) My approach to learning to use Rev has been very task oriented so far (as always it seems). I had a specific app in mind and just dove off into the deep end, dug through the documentation and then yelled for help when needed... Unfortunately, I still haven't taken time to really explore many possibilities outside of the needs for my current project, so your tutorial will come in *very handy* in the near future.

Re: Actual vs. Possible (was 'Menu woes')
But I'm more concerned here for new users: it may be too easy for them to walk away from this list feeling that the whole thing's too broken to use, and will remain so until some unknowable date in the future in which RunRev might possibly implement all of the suggestions posted here. As a newb to RunRev, I really can't add much of anything useful to the conversation other than to point out just how true Richard's perception is from someone recently on the outside looking in. Since the initial release of Rev and up until a few days ago, I kept track of development progress by downloading the most recent version about every six months or so. I'd kick the tires a little to see what was new, while trying to justify (in my mind) the cost of licensing in comparison to it's features. Although I've always had an overall favorable impression of the product, much of what I would read on this list all too often had a negative impact. Reading that Rev needs this, that or something else left my perception pretty much just as Richard describes. The good news is that I've now found first hand that nothing could be further from the truth. :) Here's a short story to illustrate: For the the little commercial project I'm currently working on, I spent over a year of research and planning, along with trying numerous programming tools without ever getting to first base. Two weeks with Dreamcard and now a week with Rev Studio and I already have the app about 60% complete and mostly functional just as it is. (Many thanks to everyone that has helped me in the process!) Today I demo'd the current version at the office and my employer (soon to be a marketing partner in the project) is *estatic* with the results. He simply couldn't believe that I've accomplished so much functionality in a short period of time. :) :) :) Regardless of any flaws that may exist or improvements that may need to be made in the future, RunRev is now my can do tool...

Hello Robert, from one noob to another. :) I'm not sure if what you want can be done using only one card, but it can be easily done using a card for each tab.

Currently the DB is connected when the card opens DB name is: mybuddies Table name is :revprogrammers DB Fields: FirstName (Primary) LastName PhoneNumber Text Fields In Stack: ShowFirstName ShowLastName ShowPhoneNumber Query Field: myQuery I *think* this is the right general direction (not working, obviously) on mouseUp get revDataFromQuery(,,SELECT * FROM mybuddies WHERE FirstName = field 'myQuery') end mouseUp I'd jump for joy if someone could point out what I'm doing wrong or point me to a *really simple* mySQL tutorial/stack to learn from Thanks, -Doc- ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Dreamcard Player - help
Hello Mark, If it's any consolation, I also have a couple of threads currently running on the list about issues with the player not functioning with a mySQL database. With my testing, running my stack from the development environment on either Linux or XP, works as expected, but the same stacks do not run in the player on either O/S. I've tried just about every possible combination as to where to place the support files without any luck. Hopefully someone from support will have a look to see what the problem might be. Waiting patiently :) On another note, don't be too discouraged about the Rev products in general. I've been watching/testing the development of Rev since the very early days and it's really quite remarkable just how far it's progressed. Problems with the player or not, I'm still convinced that it's the best multi-platform development tool available and will upgrade to the studio version shortly. -Doc- On Tue, 14 Dec 2004 20:30:17 -0800, Mark Stuart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sarah, I will check the computer folders where the Player is installed, specifically the global environment folder for revlibrary.rev. If all this is the same on both computers, I think my next step is to contact RunRev support for installation/deployment configuration requirements for this kind of application.

mySQL Dreamcard
My first attempt at posting this to the list apparently didn't work, so hopefully this does not end up as a duplicate... my apologies if it does. A couple of weeks ago I licensed Dreamcard as a learning/development tool prior to a final move to Rev Studio, thinking that others could assist with the testing process using the free player. (which I thought was functional for any type of application.) I've been working on a mySQL database app hosted on a remote server and can access the db without problems from my development box. However, when I tried testing the app on other computers (Linux XP), I learned that the player apparently requires some additional files. The Linux box clearly shows that the player application cannot load the needed library file(s), although I've manually copied them into the player's directory. I've searched the download section at the web site without luck, so maybe someone can point me to the additional files that are required for both O/S's? Thanks in advanced for any help. :) -Doc- ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
