Re: How to enter a time of day
Loved the stack and the revlet! Guys, you rock! Scott, you're the man! I still hold dear to your plugins and there's no color tool as TM|Color for me, I use it even when I am not using Rev, once, I almost made a standalone out of it.

Sorry, I forgot to take one line out of the code - if tMyName = "End" then put min(max(X,item 1 of tLimitsEnd),item 2 of tLimitsEnd) into tNewX --put x && tNewX -- take this line out --- the marked line puts x values into the message box, block it or take it out. regards Bernd -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/How-to-enter-a-time-of-day-tp1562955p1566818.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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: How to enter a time of day
Hi Scott,
thank you very much for this beautiful layout and functionality.
I couldn't resist to fiddle with the sliders, I wanted them to push each
other so the user can push both and determine a start or stop time and
without releasing the mouse pushing the other to the desired start/stop
time. One click saved and I find it intuitive, maybe not everyone.
Well here is the code for your backgroundscript of the sliders.
watch out for linebreaks
--
local allowDrag,tLimitsStart,tLimitsEnd,tInc
local baseLeft,baseRight,tInterval,tMyName,tOtherName
local tBtnSpaceFromCenter, W, tVslider
local tHDiff, tVDiff
on mouseEnter
put false into allowDrag
end mouseEnter
on mouseDown
put the clickloc into tClick
put the loc of me into tmyLoc
put item 1 of tmyLoc - item 1 of tClick into tHDiff
put item 2 of tmyLoc - item 2 of tClick into tVDiff
put short name of me into tInterval
delete char -6 to -1 of tInterval
put tInterval into tMyName
if tMyName = "Start" then
put "End" into tOtherName
else
put "Start" into tOtherName
end if
put left of grc "sliderbase" into baseLeft
put right of grc "sliderbase" into baseRight
put item 2 of the loc of grc "startSlider" into tVslider
put (width of me div 2) into W
put w * 2 into tBtnSpaceFromCenter
put baseLeft,left of grc "endslider" - W into tLimitsStart
put right of grc "startslider" + W,baseRight into tLimitsEnd
put width of grc "sliderbase"/48 into tInc
put true into allowDrag
end mouseDown
on mouseMove X,Y
put x + tHDiff into x
put y + tVDiff into y
if not allowDrag then exit mouseMove
if tMyName = "Start" then
lock screen
put min(max(X,item 1 of tLimitsStart),item 2 of tLimitsStart) into
tNewX
if tNewX < X then
put min(x,(baseRight - tBtnSpaceFromCenter)) into taLocX
set loc of grc "startSlider" to taLocX,tVslider
set loc of grc "endslider" to min(taLocX+tBtnSpaceFromCenter,the
right of grc sliderbase),tVslider
put left of grc sliderbase,left of grc "endslider" - W into
tLimitsStart
else
set loc of grc "startSlider" to tNewX,tVslider
end if
end if
if tMyName = "End" then
put min(max(X,item 1 of tLimitsEnd),item 2 of tLimitsEnd) into tNewX
put x && tNewX
if X < tNewX then
put min(max(x,baseLeft+tBtnSpaceFromCenter),(baseRight)) into
taLocX
set loc of grc "endslider" to taLocX,tVslider
set loc of grc "startSlider" to
max(baseLeft,taLocX-tBtnSpaceFromCenter),tVslider
put right of grc "startslider" + W,baseRight into tLimitsEnd
else
set loc of grc "endslider" to min(X,baseRight),tVslider
end if
end if
put "AM" into ampm
put (round((item 1 of the loc of grc (tMyName & "slider") -
baseLeft)/tInc)*15) into tMin
put trunc(tMin/60) + 6 into tHour
if tHour >= 12 then put "PM" into ampm
if tHour >= 13 then add -12 to tHour
put toUpper(tMyName) & ":" && tHour & ":" & format("%02s",tMin mod 60) &&
ampm into fld (tMyName & "output")
put "AM" into ampm
put (round((item 1 of the loc of grc (tOtherName & "slider") -
baseLeft)/tInc)*15) into tMin
put trunc(tMin/60) + 6 into tHour
if tHour >= 12 then put "PM" into ampm
if tHour >= 13 then add -12 to tHour
put toUpper(tOtherName) & ":" && tHour & ":" & format("%02s",tMin mod 60)
&& ampm into fld (tOtherName & "output")
unlock screen
end mouseMove
on mouseUp
put false into allowDrag
end mouseUp
on mouseRelease
put false into allowDrag
end mouseRelease
again thank you very much.
regards
Bernd

Re: How to enter a time of day
Pete, If your app runs exclusively on the Mac you may want to just look at integrating iCal into it with AppleScript and handle it that way... When your app launches or whenever is appropriate, let the user select a calendar file that's exclusive to your app. The user could open it in iCal to adjust things or open it through your app. You could likely then use AppleScript to get various date/times from it to do your tasks. I don't use iCal (much) and have never looked to see what functionality is provided for it through AppleScript. But you may end getting a very win-win out of this: let the user thing "awesome!" because it "just works" with iCal and let's you relax and let iCal do most of the heavy lifting in this department. :-) Jeff M.

Thanks Marty and Jeff. I will take a look at at your stack Marty. Jeff, you raise a good point, I hadn't thought about. I'm mainly running on a Mac and people tend to schedule things with tasks/ appointments in iCal although various third party tools have their own built in schedulers with their own ways of entering times.

Re: How to enter a time of day
You may want to take a look at Windows' task scheduler or whatever it is on the platform you are targeting. While it's possible to come up with something better and easier, I usually find that straying from UI paradigms that users are accustomed to can end up causing a lot of needless pain for the developer: annoying bug reports that aren't really bugs and feature requests to make something act "normal". If you want something graphical, I'd make the input a selection (like a date picker) or typed in, and perhaps have an analog clock graphic that can indicate to the user potential problems. My 2 cents. Jeff M.

Re: How to enter a time of day
There's some very useful code in Marty's stack - I modified it slightly so as to use a behavior and put the slider components into a group rather than putting the scripts in the buttons, so I could use the same code with any number of sliders. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev On 20 February 2010 09:35, Marty Knapp wrote: > Hi Peter, > > I don't know if it would help, but I have a stack at RevOnline called > "Marty's Sliders" that would give you more flexibility and could perhaps be > adapted for your use. > > At the end of the mouseMove handler there's a line that computes a value > and puts it into a field to in effect show the thumbPosition of the slider. > > Marty Knapp > > I have a need for users to enter a start and end time of an event and I'm >> trying to come up with a graphical way for them to do that to ensure that >> the time is in the correct format. >> >> What appeals to me the most is to use some sort of slider that would >> increment/decrement the time of day in 15 minute intervals.

Re: How to enter a time of day
Hi Peter, I don't know if it would help, but I have a stack at RevOnline called "Marty's Sliders" that would give you more flexibility and could perhaps be adapted for your use. At the end of the mouseMove handler there's a line that computes a value and puts it into a field to in effect show the thumbPosition of the slider. Marty Knapp I have a need for users to enter a start and end time of an event and I'm trying to come up with a graphical way for them to do that to ensure that the time is in the correct format. What appeals to me the most is to use some sort of slider that would increment/decrement the time of day in 15 minute intervals. I was hoping the rev slider control would be the answer to it but it only seems to deal with whole numbers on its scale, haven't been able to figure out how to deal with time-based numbers.

Re: How to enter a time of day
use the slider to manipulate the seconds, and convert to time steps on the fly. Don't use the scale of the slider, instead make your own scale alongside. You might find a lookup table faster than conversion. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev On 20 February 2010 09:12, Peter Haworth wrote: > I have a need for users to enter a start and end time of an event and I'm > trying to come up with a graphical way for them to do that to ensure that > the time is in the correct format. > > What appeals to me the most is to use some sort of slider that would > increment/decrement the time of day in 15 minute intervals.
