Hi Sarah, The situation is the same as the user who has created and saved a document but then decides to make a change to the document before creating a new document. The dialog is essentially a Save As Dialog where the user is asked whether to save the document with the same name or disregard the changes and close the document. In my current dialog the user is given the standard save untitled.txt option. Instead, I would like the user to get a dialog that says Save the file abc or disregard the changes. Here abc is the name of the saved file before changes were made to the file.

Re: How do you get the name of an open saved file in memory using message box?
Ok, so the file is created or opened to start with. If its a pre-existing file that is opened by using answer file as long as the user doesn't cancel, the path to the chosen file will be in the it special variable. So if you put it into some place to store it, you then have the filename. YOU need to keep track of this until the file is closed so that you can use the information. If a new file is created and saved, again, as soon as its saved, you know the filename. Store it as stated above for later use. Use ask file to prompt the user for the initial save, then put it into a storage vehicle. Either way, at this point you as the programmer should be tracking the file name. So if you want to have a save as option, again use ask file ask file Save as with yourstoredfilepath See 'ask file with' in the dictionary for more information. While looking at all this, you should also read the entry for defaultFolder, specialFolderPath and the like as you are most likely going to need them.

Otherwise I misread what you were asking. If you have an app and you load a file, it's up to the programmer (you) to keep track of it in a variable or a custom property.

Re: How do you get the name of an open saved file in memory using message box?
You are not communicating very well. It is still not clear what you want. Do you want to place a suggested file name in an ask dialog entry field instead, or have a the filename show up instead of the prompt of the ask dialog? Again, how would the dialog 'know' what the last filename was unless you save it yourself? Or are you just having trouble getting the result of your choice in the dialog? Look at the IT variable Anyway again it is up to the programmer to know which files are open and those that are not. Usually 'OPEN' is just for microseconds, the data is put in a variable, and work with it inside rev. There is no open and close needed for 'put URL()' and the file is closed after the call. There really is no need for multiple open and close statements unless one is processing data from one file into another file by script. Most of the time that is never needed.

You will have to store that file name in the custom property, hidden field, script local or global variable at that time. Then you can use that file name at any time to re-save to the original file.

Re: searching for a put that opens message box
William, There are docs for the tRev plugins on our site. Look on the right side of main page. Those docs have the names of all the tRev fields and some basic built- in services. What you want to do, however, can be done by just getting the text from the field source, munging it and then selecting the first line that has an orphaned put statement. Keep it simple. Also. when you are in tRev, use the Plugins menu to create a plugin. You'll see comments in the base code of a blank plugin that is helpful.

Re: driven mad by the message box!
Yes, its Debian. at the moment its Squeeze. Haven't tried on anything else yet. It turns out to happen only in the IDE, but it happens with development tools turned off and just about everything changed one way or the other that I could think of. But it was a great relief to finally discover that when the app is launched from a little launching stack in the usual way, it doesn't happen. As long as the app will run properly from the launcher it doesn't matter so much. What is weird is, it never happened before, but I don't recall whether in other uses of shell() I ever tried it from the IDE. These things are sent to make us into a better person.

Does anyone know why put shell() should bring up the message box, showing the last command exectuted from it (and not the command that was executed by the shell() step in the script? I've been racking my brains for an hour or more, trying just about everything I can think of, and nothing will stop the thing. Well, there is one thing that will stop it. The second time you execute the command, the message box closes. I don't know why it opened, and have even less idea why it should then close! Also, there is a small button or checkbox at the top left of the message box. What is it for? I can't see that it does anything, but it can definitely be checked or unchecked.

I think it opens because the shell command always returns via stndout, and the message box is where the return value will go if you use put without specifying a variable. What I don't get is why it closes again. It should stay open. What command are you sending? Did you get a return value for the first command? If it hasn't returned yet, then maybe you're seeing the results of that one, and the second, expected one hasn't come back yet. Long shot, I know.

The UK return key is also narrower on the bottom row it occupies than all other keys but on the top it is the same width as most other keys.

So, I use a USB Unicomp Model M keyboard. I can attach it to any of the laptops (or any desktop) and the keys are always where I expect them to be. In addition: 1. the keys use the classic IBM buckling spring key-switch - infinitely better than spongy laptop scissor switches 2. when I'm ready to trade in the laptop, the keys look like new 3. this particular keyboard seems to be indestructible (some have been in daily use for over 25 years) 4. the layout is the same from year to year (even decade to decade) It is about $70 at: http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/en104bl.html For $10 more they will include a set of Command and Option keys to make it look more Mac-like. This is not noted on the web-site, you have to call and ask. By the way, I bought the key caps but never found it necessary to install them (alt = option; windows = command). Do note: except for the USB, this is same as the 1984 IBM Model M; feels just as good - and sounds just as loud. If the concept of an external keyboard appeals to you but the M is too big, consider the Mac Mini Pro from http://www.fentek-ind.com/kbmmacusb.htm It has full-sized keys but no number pad.

You cannot put stuff before the Message Box
The thing here is that if there is already a selection in the message box, a blinking cursor or hillited text, you cannot select before (or after) either the results field or the message field. It only works if there is no selection at all. Trying to do so selects all the text in the message field, even if you explicitly name the results field. This is written into the IDE.

Re: Putting Stuff Before the Message Box
I think this is a bug in the way the messagebox is implemented. The messagebox is a very tricky thing -- lots going on behind the curtain, re handling things like this stack, the message path, etc. It appears that they made it easy to put things after msg but not before msg. Others may know more about the details of this. -- Peter Peter M.

Re: Putting Stuff Before the Message Box
Peter. I ran into this during my learning, and unlearning, of rev, coming from HC. Try these two short scripts, perhaps in a button; on mouseUp select before text of fld message field of stack message box end mouseUp on mouseUp put select before text of fld quote message field quote of stack quote message box quote into temp send temp to this stack in 15 end mouseUp The first one selects before msg, as long as there is no selection in msg. Otherwise it selects the whole line. The second works always. It is just the way Rev works. I have modified my msg box, carefully, to make it work more like HC. I have been warned this is a dicey thing to do.

Re: Putting Stuff Before the Message Box
Peter. Since you seem to be into msg stuff, here is another of my changes to the msg box. Make a field yourField with some text in it. If you write in the message box something like: select word 2 of field yourField The text hilite will not persist. I hated that, and with a little help from my friends, found that if you comment out a bit of code in the message box, you can have what I consider normal behavior, that is, that the command to select text in a field does, in fact, select that text. Starting at line 442 (in v.3.0) or line 375 (in v. 3.5) in the script of fld Message Field of stack message box, comment out the following code: if the mode of stack kStackName is not 0 and edit script of is not in the text of me then select the text of field Message Field of stack kStackName end if Now the hilite will persist in the target field. like the good Lord intended.

Re: Message box mild oddity
Colin: On my machine, the wait time for the send command is about 50% effective if I wait 7 ticks. Perfect with 9, no go with 5. Simply inserting a wait command line in lieu of the send line does nothing at all. The entire text is selected after whatever interval is specified. So why does the internal wait in the send command differ from a separate wait command? Sending the message somehow is different than simply executing the next line, just like coming from outside the field somehow seems to work just fine. Craig.

Re: Message box mild oddity
Colin. The text is put into msg I wait I select before the text of msg. Or The text is put into msg I (you) load a variable with a command to select before the text of msg I wait, and send the command. Not the same order? I have the time. I am trying to have the wherewithal. Remember, clicking outside the field makes the expected behavior happen back in the field. It is something about getting away from it all, which sending a message instead of executing yet another line of code might somehow do. And then why would keeping the mouse down for (probably) 10 ticks always work? It is, after all, a mouseUp handler, and that delay works, though it should not. All I did was dally in releasing the button? How do it know?

strange interaction with message box
Bonjour, Often I have navigation buttons on the cards of my stacks (prev, next, first) ; often too I use visual effects as in this example of a script of a button : on mouseUp visual effect scroll left very fast go next end mouseUp Now, for one month or so, if the message box is opened, the visual effect occurs on it, not on my stack :-(( On the stack, it goes to next card (or prev etc) as expected, but without any visual effect ! The visual effect occurs on the stack only if the message box is closed. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks in advance for any idea Best regards from Grenoble André ___ 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
