Hi Richmond,
Just a quick clarification :-)
Open process and Launch are not the same:
Launch acts as if the user double clicked the app or a file related
to the app.
There is no relation between the Rev app and this application.
On the other hand, Open Process is related to the Rev App as a
Hi,
Last weekend, I got a request to make a simple, little tool to
convert colour codes from and to different colour spaces. I decided
to release it as shareware. You can find it here:

Richmond,
I use something like this
on openWithApp pApp, pFilePath
get format(open -a %s %s, pApp, pFilePath)
get shell(it)
end openWithApp
pass the file path to open and the application name.
works for MacOS X only.
cheers

Hi,
I asked about this problem ages ago, but didn't get a response, so
I'm asking again as it's just come up again!
I am running on a Mac. If the user fills in a field and then tabs out
of the field, either a closeField or exitField message is sent to the
field. All well and good.
On a fairly regular basis there crops up the question:
How do you do such-and-such in Runtime Revolution
that I used to do in Z way in Hypercard?
even years after Hypercard has gone the way of all
flesh.
There seem to be 2 reasons for this:-
1. Changing from Hypercard to Runtime Revolution
Hi Dave,
How about something like this:
-- in the card or stack script if needed by multiple fields
on openField
detectCloseField (the long id of the target)
end openField
on closeField
-- first do whatever needs to be done at closeField time
-- then turn detector off immediately after
Yes, I too think that validating user entries is one of rev's
weaknesses. However, artificially increasing the problem by not using
the fields as data source seems a bit strange to me, especially with
your reasoning.
How are these two lines completely different in their horribility?

I would argue that in addition
3) There are still production HC stacks in use (I know I have two that
are otherwise considered mission-critical, and still perform well for
what they're intended to do)
4) People who were around in the HC days that have transitioned to RR
have, for whatever reason,
The main problem here is that Launch presupposes
everybody keeps the same application in the same place
on their computer: which they don't!
I wonder about embedding a MacOS app inside a RR
standalone and then using that!!!
Love, Richmond
Hi,
I think that a HyperCard conversion FAQ would be helpful. I'd be
pleased to put one on the runrev.info site, if we can come to an
agreement on what should be in that FAQ.

But with the launch document documentPath command, that concern goes
away. (Introduced in 2.7.1)

This is so much simpler than what I proposed! Thanks Ken.

The fact remains that it is up to the one between the keyboard and
the seat to do most 'conversion' from HC to Revolution. But this is
not a bad thing.
Although the two share some of the syntax and terminology which make
the transition tolerable, there are so many ways to 'skin a cat' in

This does sound interesting...and promising as well. Now, for the

very plain Rev to Javascript GUI implementation which implemented only
