non-blocking post

Is there any way to make a non-blocking post request? Often times when posting multi-part form data to a URL the post operation appears to time out and an empty result and the it variable are both left empty if there is a lag before the server responds. The problem seems to also be related to

consistent fatal error in 2.8

I upgraded to Rev 2.8 a few days ago and have already had a number of crashes. Yesterday the program crashed when pasting a large amount of text into a script. It reminded me of the crash that would happen every 10 minutes in the short lived 2.7.3 (?) release on Win XP when pasting text. Today

multiple document icons

I must say I'm very happy with the new single instance support for Windows applications. Many of my clients were confused when they couldn't open a doc created by my rev app by double clicking it in Windows Explorer. I'm very grateful that the brilliant Rev team has solved that issue! Thanks!

problem found (was Re: Reporting fatal error bugs)

First of all sorry about the recent re-post of the last message in this thread. It was sent from a different address weeks ago and it must have just got through moderator approval today. In any event I just wanted to let the list know that I believe I identified at least one of the major issues

invalid host address / 60025 on socket error

Revisiting another very old problem that I have been encountering: On some comuters the libURLftpUpload command fails, the URLStatus() function returns error, and the libURLErrorData() function returns either error Error 10065 on socket or invalid host address. The last time I brought this issue

RE: reporting fatal error bugs

Thanks Martin. I am very eager to have this problem addressed. We have about 250 installed users and we are getting almost daily reports now of the stack *consistently* crashing on Windows XP (both Home and Pro) systems. I looked at the user.dmp file and it seemed to be a bunch of binary data.

Re: reporting fatal error bugs

Thanks Jacqueline, But the question remains which log is helpful to post and where to find it. There is no easy way to extract the log from the Microsoft Dr. Watson dialog that I am aware of. In a previous post somebody suggested that the log of interest was located at: C:/Documents and

Reporting fatal error bugs

Hi, As I've posted previously to the list many of my users have problems with a rev standalone unexpectedly quitting do to illegal operations. I am getting more and more reports of this problem (on both Win XP Pro and Home, using a standalone built form Rev 2.6.1). There is no specific

RE: standalone crashing

Thanks Jacqueline. I looked at that Microsoft Send Error Log dialog and could not find any way to extract the error logs. Any I missing something? Even Copy and Paste didn't seem to work. Is there an easy way to save the log to a file? Also, the stack contains a lot of proprietary technology

Standalone crashing

I just wanted to let the list know that some of my clients have been reporting very frequent crashes of a standalone built with Rev 2.6.1. According to them the standalone is crashing every few MINUTES. The crashes happen at different times, often but not always when closing windows, and the

Re: 2.7 bugs

The first of those will smooth out the handful of rough edges in 2.7 that have been reported, and then we'll be tackling some other areas that have attracted feedback for a longer period of time. The first such point release is right around the corner now, so please wait patiently for a

Re: Rev 2.7 Editor stability problems

Gordon, When you are getting these crashes, are you editing a stack that was converted from 2.6.1? Does this happen on multiple stacks or just one? From the info on this bug so far, it seems as though it is sensitive to particular stacks, as opposed to configurations. That is my personal

Win XP / Rev 2.7

For the record I want to say that when I installed Rev 2.7 on XP I had crashes many times a day as well. That makes three of us on this list that had severe problems and had to roll back to 2.6.1, loosing time and work. For me, the crashes seemed to occur more often than not when selecting and

crashes while using script editor in 2.7

Hi, I downloaded 2.7 last week and have been having an awful problem with consistent crashes while using the script editor. It happens sometimes when I try to copy a portion of text, sometimes when I am selecting, sometime when I am just changing the positions of the cursor. I don't think I've

Load URL returns error 10049

Here are the results of this next round of testing. Sorry about the delay - again it took a long time for the customer to get back to me with the results of the tests. I'm afraid they are quite puzzling to me and seem to point towards a bug in the Rev internet lib or the engine itself, but

Load URL returns error 10049

Load URL returns error 10049

Hi, I have a rev standalone that has been distributed to a number of users. The standalone uses the load URL command to get a web page from my server. The command works as expected for every user to which I've distributed the stack except for one. The load URL command fails for this user and the

RE: get URL returning empty string

Thanks to everybody who lent their advice to this issue. I just wanted to say that although I never was able to determine the exact reason the get URL was returning an empty string and empty result, using the load command seems to get around the problem. I would be interested to know what using

Re: Non-blocking way to open MS Word files?

Just want to say thanks so much for the help! I actually used a combination of the launch command with a separate mini 'launcher' stack to do the trick. Great idea, Scott! From my main stack, I set a registry key indicating the path of the document I want to launch, and then use the launch

I wrote a game that uses a rev app as a level editor. I used the same tilemap approach that is being discussed, with a grid of buttons which take on different images depending on what is being 'painted' on the level. There are close to 600 buttons in all and the speed is remarkable. Painting

Re: Import Full Formated Text

For what it counts, I would also by hugely in favor of more advanced text editing capabilities and import/export in REV. Especially line-for-line alignment control and columned non-table fields. Moreover, I think it would be very valuable to a lot of users (or potential users) to beef up the
