Re: Tabbing out of a text field
NVM just read your last sentence. I suppose then that the autoTab property for scrolling fields should be disabled, or invisible in the inspector. No big deal. Bob On Oct 21, 2010, at 4:19 PM, J.

Which I seem to recall Scott Raney describing as the monster it terms of complexity. Hard to say without confirmation from the Mother Ship, but according to Dr. Raney, historically many such property limitations were the result of having a certain number of bits set aside for built-in object properties, so that adding another would require a format change. Text chunks are the odd man out, since they don't have the same sort of record structure objects have. It may be harder than adding properties for objects, or it may be easier. Either way, the field object is due for an overhaul anyway (paragraph-level formatting and independent column alignment are among the most voted-for items at the RQCC), so it seems worth raising the visibility of this request to see it implemented. Not only is it useful, but the absence of backgroundPattern for chunks in a system that already supports backgroundColor just means one more gotcha inconsistency newcomers need to learn. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Rev training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com revJournal blog: http://revjournal.com/blog.irv ___ 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
Faking OS X text field behaviour (was: Good books on Cocoa dev?)
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. It would certainly save me a lot of time if this could be done in Rev, so maybe it's time to look from a different direction - how do we make a Rev field as OS X-like as possible. On 3 Mar 2010, at 04:00, Scott McDonald wrote: The look of the spell check dialogue in the RunRevPlanet SpellCheck Stack is completely skinnable so it may be simpler (and much quicker) to make it look the way you need for your Mac application without learning Cocoa. Your stack (and Sarah's AppleScript driven one) are the first places I looked. If the RunRevPlanet SpellCheck Stack doesn't currently meet your needs, any specific feedback is most welcome, as I work hard to make stacks from RunRevPlanet do what Revolution users need. Background - this is an app for metadata text entry for photojournalists. They are a fairly impatient bunch and tend to be working under a lot of pressure, and tend to have configured their Macs 'just so', with things like custom additions to the spell check dictionary. Plus a surprising amount of Mac UI knowledge/fanaticism at the higher levels... So replicating the native text box behaviour as closely as possible is a high priority. Here's a little list I've made up of differences between Rev fields and OS X fields, some apply to Scott's SpellCheck stack, others are general observations. 1. Navigational/selection shortcuts. Things like Rev using Command- left/right arrow to skip by word instead of the standard Mac shortcut of Option/Alt etc. I've not tried it yet but presumably this could all be handled with custom rawkeydown handlers - has anyone worked on this in the past? 2. The floating dictionary via Command-Control-D-hover. I'm not too bothered about this as it's rarely known let alone used, and there are still a few Carbon apps around that don't support it anyway. 3. Spell checking. This breaks down into a number of separate issues. 3a. Including spell checking in the first place. Scott's stack does a good job of providing the service, with Sarah's being a good proof-of- concept as well. 3b. Dictionaries. The RRP stack uses it's own dictionary, which makes it less useful to me as there's a good chance that the target audience have been adding words (place names, people's names) to the OS-level dictionary. If they are in a rush they won't want to add words again. Although this may not be as big an issue as I'm making it out to be. 3c. Visual representation of incorrect words. For this audience, anything but dashed red underlining is going to leap out as being a non-native app. Presumably I'd have to have a non-scrolling text field plus graphics built into a scrolling group to be able to 'fake' putting the red underlining. Again, has anyone attempted this before?

Setting Playloudness was Re: 4.0 not displaying text field changes
Mark noted that it is now necessary under Rev = 4.0 to insert wait 0 millisec with messages into repeat loops in order to see any changes made to a field. I have found this is also needed when changing playloudness like this: on fadeSounds set the playloudness to cLoud wait 0 milliseconds with messages if the playloudness 1 then set the playloudness to gSaveLoudness play stop else send fadeloop to me in 10 ticks end if end fadeSounds Without the wait (either 0 milliseconds with messages or 1 millisecond), the 'set the playloudness' command is not executed. Note that this is needed when setting the general volume. I'm not sure whether it is necessary to add the 'wait' when setting individual player volumes. Anyone?

Resizing a Text Field Dynamically, While Locking Its XY Coordinates
Hello All, I'm new to Rev, and am attempting to create a paned interface on a stack. Specifically, I have two text fields, with a little grabber icon between them. The effect I'm trying to accomplish is that, as I drag the little grabber button between the two fields, the two fields on either side are to automatically resize in width. I'm experimenting with just the left text field and grabber icon at this time. My current challenge is that when I drag the grabber, the text field on the left resizes in width-- however, it resizes from its centerpoint outwards. Ideally, I would want the text field's XY coordinates to remain locked, while the right side of the text field resizes. Is there a property for Rev objects that can configure objects to resize from one specific side?

Is there a property for Rev objects that can configure objects to resize from one specific side? Yes, what you want is the rectangle property (commonly abbreviated rect). Setting the width or height resizes the object equally on both sides, as you found out. So instead, get the rect of the object, add or subtract an amount from one of the sides, and reset the rect to the new dimensions. So if I wanted to add 10 pixels to the right side of a field, I'd do this: put the rect of fld testFld into tRect add 10 to item 3 of tRect -- item 3 is the right side set the rect of fld testFld to tRect See the rectangle property in the dictionary, which will tell you which item corresponds to each side. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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: Resizing a Text Field Dynamically, While Locking Its XY Coordinates
Hello All, Thank you all very much; yes, the Rect property is definitely the way to go. I also got a similar response from Malte. As I mentioned to him, it's amazing to me (as a newbie, but longtime fan of Revolution) how elegant this language is. Imagine trying to purely code this in Adobe Flex, for example, and the amount of lines of code it would require. What I like is how few lines of code can give one just the results desired. When I tried the Rect property and it worked perfectly, it was like magic! Very cool, indeed.

Re: Spell check in a text field (how do I)
I wrote a spell checker once in HC. I kept a dictionary (265,000 words) in a separate file. I loaded that file into memory and did a search for each word in my text. If a word found no match in the dictionary, I was notified. My program suggested nearby possible words based on slight misspellings. In Rev, you could keep the dictionary in a field (not having the textEdit limits, which is very nce), or in a library somewhere.

Re: Spell check in a text field (how do I)
Hello Jim, I'm no expert on spell checking but when I needed a cross-platform spell checker written in rev I broke the problem into 3 parts. 1. A UI for interacting with the spell checker 2. A word checker that walks through the given text, word at a time, checking to see if they are in the bank of real words 3. Suggested words... presented in the UI to allow quick correction/ selection of the intended word. I found this last part to be by far the most challenging as things get messy when dealing with phonics. I ended up using a variation of Lawrence Philips' Double Metaphone algorithm. The idea is to reduce the misspelled word to a short phonetic representation or key. Previously you would also have reduced a subset of the real words in your bank to their short phonetic keys as well. You might create a custom property for each unique phonetic key and store all the real words that reduce to this key as a list inside that custom property. Then you could take the misspelled word's key and see if there was a custom property name that matched. The hope then is that inside that custom property would be phonetically reasonable suggestions which could be presented to the user.

I'm trying to read a web page and extract data from it. I can read the page ok and put the text in a variable. I can parse and remove most of the extraneous stuff (TD.../TD etc.).

The reason this is a problem is that the data is a table composed of a time and 4 dollar amounts on each line. I need to convert this to a line with the items separated by commas so I can pick the items I want and work with them. I have tried replacing comma cr with comma, comma numToChar(13), with comma, etc but it doesn't seem to find any of those. Is there some way to suppress the display of data as html so that I get REAL carriage returns or something I can work with? Thanks!

I'm not sure what the problem is here. Can you provide a sample URL and the basic transcript of the code you are using so we can see where it is going wrong. It sounds to me like your process of 'digesting' the text might be causing the problem. I just found a web page with currencies on it (www.xe.com), and simply using set the htmlText of fld currencies to URL http://www.xe.com; seems to produce a page without the boxed text you are describing as a problem. Are you sure that you haven't just set the textStyle of that field so that it will display as boxed?

If I attempt to put a br in the text for cell #1, it bumps anything after the br to the next line. Well, BR is a line ending tag, so that what it does. I don't think html has a tag for wrapping within a 'tab-like character' unless you use a table cell with a fixed format (or other html structure). Anyway, Rev only has a subset of html tags for use in a field. One work around that may be worth it for you... use a separate hidden field the width of your left cell, set the text of that hidden field to the string you want to display. Now this field will wrap according to font, etc. Export a snapshot to a temp image name, then insert an img src tag into the first cell, then, of course, set the lineheight to the max along the line (in this case, the first cell). I can't remember the details for the export method, but Eric Chatonet has a tutorial that covers handling images, such as thumbnails. - Another way to display this this would be to use the Rev Browser product, formerly known as AltBrowser, which does support all kinds of tags since it uses Internet Explorer on Win32 and Safari on Mac. Just make a browser container the correct size and placement, then 'set the html of theWindow to stringOfData' Should work. Of course, user clicking would have to be a link syntax such as a href=visible text/a, or a button, etc. The table container is on the list of future updates, but I am not sure of any arrival schedule.

Standalone Text Field problem for WindowsXP
Well, I'm back after a considerable hiatus, and have some new plans for Revolution articles on the Macinstruct.com website. First, however, I need to wrap up the application that was in the mill when I dropped out of the list. I finally got a Mac Pro with the 30 Apple Display that allows me to see once again. Though OSX is still a glaring abomination and I have found no way to adequately adjust the glare. Nevertheless, I now have WindowsXP running under VMWare's Fusion and can test the Window's version of my Coloring Book Application.

Text field bug?
This is a bizarre problem in which the text of a field gets replaced by the text from another field. It appears to be related to keyboard focus. I have only been able to reproduce in Rev Studio 2.7.4 build 291 on an iMac G5 running 10.4.8. It couldn't make it happen on my Dual 2GHz G5 running Rev Enterprise 2.7.4 build 291, same OS version. I also couldn't get it to happen on Win XP with 2.7.4. Can anyone reproduce this? I'll do a bug report if so. Recipe: Create a new mainstack. Create 2 new text entry fields and name them. I'll use george and sally. Open the script editor for field sally. Type some contents into fld george. Type some contents into fld sally. Open the property inspector for fld george and go to the Contents panel. In the contents field, make a change to the text of fld george, and don't exit the field. Do this three times: Click on field sally. Click in the open script editor for field sally. After the third click to the script editor the contents of fld george is replaced by the contents of fld sally. Like I said, this only happens on G5 iMacs in our lab running 2.7.4.

So there is obviously some kind of flag somewhere that remembers that focus was in the contents field of george's property inspector. However, if I make changes in george's contents field, then click outside of the field while still in george's property inspector, then go through the process of repeatedly clicking sally and her script, nothing happens.

Re: Text field bug?
Caution when using inspector palettes! If you are editing, say the 'contents' drop down or the 'custom properties' drop down, then change the focus of the object being inspected, always change the pop up menu to another choice, then back to the original choice. This becomes obvious if you are inspecting a button object, choose custom properties, then use the message box to set the cpUserDataParam of this button to Red Flag Sale The update will not be seen until you change the popup, then back to the 'custom properties' choice again. An this time we did not even change the focus of the inspector. Hope this helps.

Re: Text Field Statistics script
Here are some rough ideas to get you started. 1. Total number of words in the text field put the number of words in fld myField into numWords 2. Total number of Paragraphs in the text field You would have to define what constitutes a paragraph, but, for example: ## carriage return means new paragraph put 0 into paragraphCount repeat for each char c in fld myField if (c = cr) then add 1 to paragraphCount end repeat For more complicated definitions of paragraph you might use offset() to search for certain character sequences. 3. Total number of Sentences in the text field Similar to #2, except maybe with a list of sentence-ending punctuation: put 0 into sentenceCount repeat for each char c in fld myField if (c is in ?!.) then add 1 to sentenceCount end repeat 4. Total number of sentences per paragraph Combination of #2 and #3 might work... something like: ## initialize put 0 into paragraphCount put 0 into sentenceCount put empty into sentenceCounts repeat for each char c in fld myField ## new paragraph: store the sentence count from the last one if (c = cr) then put sentenceCount into line paragraphCount of sentenceCounts add 1 to paragraphCount put 0 into sentenceCount end if if (c is in ?!.) then add 1 to sentenceCount end repeat answer sentenceCounts ## displays counts one per line for each paragraph 5. Average number of words in a sentence Something like #3, except try tracking your current position. Each time you finish a sentence, use a chunk expression like: put the number of words in char (sentenceStart) to (sentenceEnd) into numWords 6. Total number of passive verbs (this one would be probably involve a small database/flat file to search and compare through?) Try repeat for each word and lookup the words... Ideas and help are greatly appreciated. Since I don’t know much about the coding language yet, the more specific the better. Thank you all! Hope that gives you a head start.

Re: How to allow only single line into text field (instead of mutliple line)
You also need to bear in mind the danger of a user pasting in text that includes a linefeed. I accomplish this with a rawkeydown handler that blocks the return and enter keys, and that checks for ctrl-C and the insert key, and if it detects them, replaces linefeed with empty before inserting the text to be pasted. An easier approach (if acceptable for your app) is to also check after the fact: on Closefield replace linefeed with empty in me end Closefield on exitfield closefield end exitfield The exitfield handler in this case is necessary to cover for situations where the user pastes text, then gets out of the field without typing anything.

colors in scrolling text field
I am creating a scrolling log of program activities, and want to color code the output so that normal events are black or green, but problems are shown in red. I played with setting colors in a regular field, and the colors seem to stick to the field positions, rather than moving with the characters. Am I correct about this? I tried setting the foregroundcolor in a text chunk that was stored in a local variable, but that failed.

Re: text field
how to make a text field a password field, where characters are asterisks. thanks, The only built-in way to get password entry is using the answer password command. However if you want to allow people to enter passwords into a field, then you need to script the data entry yourself. The easiest way is to let them enter the password as plain text and then in a closeField handler, store the actual password somewhere secure, perhaps in a custom property, then replace all the letters with asterisks. Alternatively, you can trap the rawKeyDown or keyDown messages and append any typed characters to the stored password, while adding an asterisk to the field.

Thanks, Lince M Lawrence Hi Lince, You can find a simple but effective script in this old post that I dug up from the archive : http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2003-September/022446.html However, it doesn't handle what comes into the field through copy+paste or drag-and-drop. You should be able to fix that with the following additional piece of script : -- local sBeforePaste on pasteKey put the text of me into sBeforePaste if checkAfterPaste is not in the pendingMessages \ then send checkAfterPaste to me in 5 milliseconds pass pasteKey end pasteKey on dragDrop put the text of me into sBeforePaste if checkAfterPaste is not in the pendingMessages \ then send checkAfterPaste to me in 5 milliseconds pass dragDrop end dragDrop on checkAfterPaste if the text of me is not a number then beep put sBeforePaste into me end if end checkAfterPaste -- You may have to tinker a few bits here and there to make it work for you, but I hope this get you closer to a solution.
