Any news about Metacard IDE 4.0?

Searching the Use-List

I really am a s-l-o-w learner! I have been using Richard Gaskin's http://tc.versiontracker.com/product/redir/lid/365918/4W_RevListSearch.rev for about 6-7 years now, and it has only just occurred to me to bung it in the plug-ins folder! What an improvement!

RE: Newbie question

Hi Richmond, Oddly enough the database update in RevStudio 4 (Mac) didn't work, leaving me with an unusable Search Engine. Same poo with Ubuntu (both RevStudio and RevMedia) Didn't have that problem with RevMedia 4 (Mac). Too fried and crispy after that to bother firing up the XP box to

Re: Printing a player image in XP

Thanks Mark. For posterity, here is the 'Win XP workaround: Right before you print, execute ...    import snapshot from card 1 ...  then you can print the card and see what was in your QT Player objects. Don't forget to delete the image that results from using that command. I need to display

Rev IDE vs MetaCard IDE

Can someone give me a quick summary of why I might want to use the MetaCard IDE instead of RunRev's? It seems that a lot of users of this group use MC. Is it just what you were used to or is there some feature that Rev's doesn't? Just curious. len

How do I construct a scroll bar for stack larger than screen

Thank you for advices I seemed to succeed .as you described -in creating a vscrollbar,applying to grouped objects of the first window, but cant see it. My guess is that it is hidden on a lower layer (there are several) , so I try :set the layer of vScrollbar of group id 9012 to

Irregular-Shaped Fields

Hi, Is it possible for user-entered text to be auto-fitted into a non- square/rectangle text field? This code does not give me an error, nor does it result in any change. Code: set the rect of fld triangle1 to the rect of grc triangle1 Even ensuring the polygon only has three points did not

Re: How do I construct a scroll bar for stack larger than screen

Use the Application Browser in Rev's Tools menu up above. There you will see all objects in your stack.When you select an object in the Browser it will be selected in your stack window. You should be able to find it this way and rename it. Hope this helps, Mark On Dec 12, 2009, at 2:53

Re: Newbie question

Hi all, Thanks for the various tips. The searching from the RevMedia help menu did not work. It said something about building indexes, failed and now it will search nothing. However I did find the Nabble forum, and will now give Richard Gaskin's program a try... Tim Selander Tokyo, Japan

Re: Irregular-Shaped Fields

Keep in mind the term rect refers to a rectangular region. There is no built-in way to do what you want. When you say user entered do you mean after the text is entered, or dynamically as it is being typed? You might be able to fit text to a shape using the formattedRect property of text,

Re: Irregular-Shaped Fields

Thanks, Scott. I will experiment with the formattedRect property. It is frustrating because I just finished a large project, just to have this requirement thrown in at the last minute. If it was not challenging, it would not be any fun. Thanks again, Ed On Dec 12, 2009, at 11:38 PM,
