Searching Data in Custom Properties
Hello, I am newbie to RunRev. I have been developing databases using other tools for about 10 years. I am trying to get my head around this idea of storing data in custom properties. I have read Richard Gaskin's post on the subject and I am begining top get my head around setting the data into custom props and getting it out when you now where a particular piece of data is. But how do you search for a string that maybe in a custom property? Or if you need searching is it time to move to a RDBMS. I am quite comfortable with that if that is what is required, but I just don't know. tia zack ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I am very used to FileMaker Pro (and SQL dbs). In these environments you normally start with the data and build an interface to use it. It is almost always with large data sets where searching will be one of the primary activities. The data and how it stored is never really an issue. It's in tables. Rev offers so much more, but I find myself a bit lost because I am not used to having to design a storage system for data. What I always took for granted isn't there anymore. I realize that this is part of the power of Rev you can do it in anyway that seems best. BUT this is exactly my problem. I don't feel I know enough yet to know what seems best. I relate to data in terms of RDBMS. I see table and columns and primary keys. That is just what I am used to. In the last few years XML has become important but still mostly as middle layer not the storage layer. At least to me. So now I want to move on to a more flexible tool, but with more power comes more responsibility! So I have to adjust. or just go by altSQLite and be done with it :) Thanks zack ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Visual Effects and Custom window shapes
Hello everyone, I am trying to use a visual effect when transition from one card and another. I am also changing the window shape as part of the transition. It doesn't look so hot. The regular (rectangle) shape of the window is visible while the transition is happening I am a newbie so I am probably missing something or maybe it won't work like I expect. Here is my button script on mouseUp set windowshape of this stack to 1013 -- new window shape visual effect dissolve Go to cd 1 end mouseUp My ultimate goal is to produce something like the OSX Tiger Widget effect when it flips over to expose the other side. I would be happy however if I could just some kind of visually interesting transition from one card to another with custom window shapes applied. Setup: OSX Tiger 10.4.1 RunRev 2.6 Thanks z ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hello, Are there any example stack on how to create Bar Graphs in RunRev. I want to have say 5 numbers graphed in a vertical bar chart. I have some cool graphics I can use to build the bars but I really have no idea how to begin.

Moving a Custom Shaped window
Hello again, What a snap it is to create a custom shaped window! Really cool. But how do make it so the user can still drag the window around their desktop? I can't seem to grab any part of it to move it. Thanks z ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hi Zack, Because the custom shaped window doesn't have the usual title bar which effectively gives you window dragging for free, you need to write your window drag routines. Put this set of handlers in the stack or card script: ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Publish and Subscribe iCal with RunRev
Hello everyone, I have a dream! I want my calendar displayed in Apple's iCal (or other vCal client) but I want the data stored in a database so I can integrate it into group and corporate databases systems. My thought was that I could use RunRev to create a little server that accepts iCal publish and subscribe requests, then parses the data and flings it into (or pulls it from) an ODBC database of my choice. Does anybody have any thoughts or ideas about this approach? I am pretty new to RunRev so any tips pointers or other ideas would be appreciated. What do you think? zack ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Publish and Subscribe iCal with RunRev
Thanks for this. It looks interesting. I will check it out. But I still would prefer to do it with RunRev if possible. This project is as much educational for me then anything else.

Re: Table Field
Sorry, I would like it to display like a spreadsheet, With columns and rows appearing in the cells Instead it is just displaying in one long string. The fields are delimitated by TAB and the records are makes with a RETURN. Field1 Field2 field3 etc etc etc But when put myVariable into field my Table field I get one long string. It is not split up into the cells as I expected. Is Rev looking for different delimiters? z On 4/4/05 4:10 PM, Frank D.
