Re: Unable to Affect Printer Paper Orientation?

2010-11-18 Thread Scott Rossi
 There doesn't seem to be any way to force the Print dialog to accept the
 landscape setting.
 ...
 Is there anything else I can try short of creating yet
 another dialog for users to click No, really, I want to print landscape! ???

[answering my own question]

I am admittedly new to LiveCode's printing features, but it turns out I was
missing a few key pieces of information...

1) I was using the form answer printer when apparently one needs to use
open printing with dialog.  Not sure why both options exist but the former
appeared to be unaffected by manually setting printer properties (and led to
a couple of days of aggravation).

2) I found this tidbit buried in the user contributed notes of the Rev 4
Dictionary stack: If you change the orientation of the printed page by
setting the value of the PrintPaperOrientation property, the value of the
PrintRectangle does not change to match it until you open printing.  This
info was key in tracking down paper orientation problems.  Many thanks to
the anonymous poster who added this to the dictionary.

Maybe the above will be helpful for anyone else struggling with print
orientation issues.

Recently, I wrote:

 I'm wondering if anyone has come across a print dialog situation that has
 multiple ways of setting paper orientation (LC4, Windows XP).
 
 After beating my head against the wall for several hours, I realized that the
 landscape paper  setting in the Page Setup dialog in XP is not being honored
 in the main Print dialog. Even when I explicitly script set the
 printPaperOrientation to landscape before opening the system print dialog,
 the orientation setting shows up as Portrait.  In my situation, the paper
 orientation is found in a secondary dialog that is accessed by clicking the
 Preferences button in the main print dialog.
 
 There doesn't seem to be any way to force the Print dialog to accept the
 landscape setting.  In the Page Setup dialog, setting landscape orientation
 works as expected.  If I set the paper orientation manually and bypass the
 print dialog, I can print landscape no problem, so really the only issue is
 the main print dialog.  Is there anything else I can try short of creating yet
 another dialog for users to click No, really, I want to print landscape! ???
 
 Thanks for any suggestions.

Multi-Language-Support iOS

2010-11-18 Thread Harald Müller
Hello all,

while waiting for my first app to be reviewed I'm planning the next apps
and also think about a better multi-language support. I hope one of the
next versions of the iOS-Plugin will support language detection :)

In my first app (english/german) I used text files for labels and texts which
have to be shown in seperate languages. Not very elegant.

For the next version/app I'm think about building a function which extracts
all long IDs of objects in all stacks which have a custom property called
localize (for example), which I then will put into an array and save as a
file. So I would have a database of elements which have to be translated.
This data could be completed by translators (friends, myself) with different
languages. I would load this array while starting the app to set all 
labels/texts
to the language which is choosen/detected.

How do you think about this way, any better ideas?

Best regards,
Harald Müller.___

Re: Multi-Language-Support iOS

Hi Harald
I don't know if this works on iOS but In my app using Japanese and
English, I have two custom property sets that have the same elements,
each with names in their respective languages. The appropriate
property set is set on preopenstack of the mainstack based on a
preference setting.

on preopenstack
set the custompropertyset of wd myapp to whichlanguage
end preopenstack

under the custompropertyset I have a customproperty consisting of a
list of objects and their label/content

synct,Synchronize
multit,Multiple Copies

then I read the customproperty and
split thelist by return and comma

 then on preopenstack of the main stack or any substacks I set the
object properties.

set the label of btn synct to thelist[synct]
set the text of fld multicopyt to thelist[multit]

you do not have to include a customproperty that is one long list, you
could make each label a separate cprop and call it like
set the label of btn synct to the synct of wd myapp


The important part is that you have a custompropertyset for each
language and then set that according to your user's preferences.

Why? How solve this? recreate again all the cards with delete and

Make sure that the background behavior (behaves like a background) of the 
group is true, so when you add additional cards the group will appear 
there. You only need to do this once. The engine will take care of this forever.

Re: Multi-Language-Support iOS

2010-11-18 Thread Harald Müller
Hi Ron,

thank you for your remarks! That could be a way to distribute the
loaded language file to the relevant elements. But perhaps the step
via customproperties isn't necessary. When I have to change labels
and texts with a script I could also get the input directly from the
language file.

(I do want the data to be in an external file, because the handling
of more than one translation should be easy. To make every change
inside the stack by hand wouldn't be very comfortable and the chance
to make errors would be too big.)

Regards,
Harald.

Blend level scale query

2010-11-18 Thread David Glasgow
Can anyone say whether the LC blend level 

1/ Corresponds to any particular model of transparency and opacity?

2/ Can be described in units of some kind other than the LC 1-100?

3/ Might approximate a linear scale?  (Although of course these things are very 
trick with perceptual stuff)

4/  Gives reliably similar results across different machines  OSs?

Thanks,

Re: Cloning cards

2010-11-18 Thread Joe Lewis Wilkins
Hi Richard,

My intuition told me as much, and I've been surprised at how easily I'm able to 
change the data in a Standalone by using an external text file and then 
changing the text file along the way. My dilemma, now, is that this sub-stack 
is already part of the standalone, so splitting it off as another stack file 
may not be so easy. OTOH, it may also solve an issue I now have communicating 
between that sub-stack and the main stack in the standalone. We'll see once I 
take a look at Sarah's tutorial.

Maybe not so bad - consider trying this:

Rename the existing substack something like SubstackNameTEMPLATE, when 
add this when you need to create a savable document:


  -- Make the savable stack:
  clone stack SubstackNameTEMPLATE
  set the name of it to SubstackName
  -- Now to save it in some writable location:
  set the filename of it to MyDataPath()
  save stack SubstackName

In a central library you can use this handy function to find the path to 
the file for saving or opening:


function MyDataPath
   switch the platform
   case MacOS
 put specialFolderPath(asup) into tPath
 break
   case Win32
 put specialFolderPath(26) into tPath
 break
   case Linux
 put specialFolderPath(home)/Documents into tPath
   end switch
   --
   put /MyAppName/ after tPath
   if there is not a folder tPath then
 create folder tPath
 if the result is not empty then
answer Error:  the result
exit to top
 end if
   put MyDocumentName.myExtension after tPath
   return tPath
end MyDataPath


The above is off-the-cuff and untested, but I've written similar 
handlers often so hopefully it will be at least mostly working and 
somewhat helpful. :)

I think so, but I've only tested in the simulator so far. But the docs 
say the Documents folder is compatible with iTunes expectations, and 
that it's seen and backed up by iTunes. There's no indication you need 
to do anything in particular to get that behavior, it just happens.

Re: Cloning cards

2010-11-18 Thread Joe Lewis Wilkins
Hi Richard,

I'll save this approach as a plan B; for now, I think, I'll just create a 
brand new, expandable Main Stack that I can use when the user needs to create 
new forms. I think I can probably do this by just creating a dummy empty stack 
and, then, when I need additional copies of a Form, instead of cloning that 
Form in the sub-stack, I'll copy it, go to the dummy stack and paste it. That 
may also make the sequencing of Forms easier. Your suggestion, though I'm sure 
it is great, appears to be a bit too complex for me at this time. Plus, it is 
always a good idea to have a Plan B around. (smile) My problem is: if I don't 
think of something, I sometimes have trouble understanding how someone else's 
way of doing things works. It's a my brain problem we all face in our 
declining years. The old dog - new tricks syndrome if you will. I'm still 
struggling with the custom properties concept. (smile) Thanks...

Whether you clone or copy, either is just a single line of code.

The long part of my post was a function to help with the thing either

Next step: snap a photo with the web cam so the photo can be turned

If you are on Mac, just drag the app to the trash. 

I tried but It did not work. 
I think I need to remove somewhere hidden files on my Mac. Probably they were 
broken.

 Hi,
 
 Where is Uninstaller.app for LiveCode?
 
 The uninstall procedure is documented on page 5 of the User Guide, which you 
 can access from the Help menu in the IDE. If you are using Windows, the 
 uninstall is now available in Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel. If 
 you are on Mac, just drag the app to the trash. If you are on Linux, follow 
 the instructions in the guide.

Re: DOWNLOADING REV 4.0.0

2010-11-18 Thread Bob Sneidar
Just thot I'd say, the player was one of the selling points for me. To be able 
to distribute a stack I made for the company I work for, along with a player, 
without having to futz with all the idiosyncrasies of standalones was very 
appealing. I was disappointed when support for the player went away.

Re: Cloning cards

Hi Joe. 

Not so tough. Make a brand new stack which will be your splash stack. Have that 
stack open the real stack and then close itself. Add your real stack along 
with it's substack as an included file in your standalone settings. Mince 
finely, stir in with a cup of lemon juice and compile. The mincing and lemon 
juice are not strictly necessary.

Re: Multi-Language-Support iOS

2010-11-18 Thread Pierre Sahores
Harald,

Seems good ! I just use, for my own, a function witch contains items  lines 
delimited rows, one sentence per row and a different translation per item.

Best,

Pierre

 Hello all,
 
 while waiting for my first app to be reviewed I'm planning the next apps
 and also think about a better multi-language support. I hope one of the
 next versions of the iOS-Plugin will support language detection :)
 
 In my first app (english/german) I used text files for labels and texts which
 have to be shown in seperate languages. Not very elegant.
 
 For the next version/app I'm think about building a function which extracts
 all long IDs of objects in all stacks which have a custom property called
 localize (for example), which I then will put into an array and save as a
 file. So I would have a database of elements which have to be translated.
 This data could be completed by translators (friends, myself) with different
 languages. I would load this array while starting the app to set all 
 labels/texts
 to the language which is choosen/detected.
 
 How do you think about this way, any better ideas?
 
 Best regards,
 Harald Müller.___

Oh, okay. You could see if you have any plugins that conflict. If you 
are using the old Revolution folder, look in:


~/Documents/My Revolution edition/Plugins

or in here for the new LiveCode folder:

~/Documents/LiveCode/Plugins/

Move or rename the Plugins folder and restart LiveCode. See if that

Re: Blend level scale query

Not sure what you're looking for here David.  AFAIK, blendLevel is simply a

beyond those addressable in LC.

It was once possible to set individual pixels of an image

2010-11-18 Thread DunbarX
Showing my age, but HC had an XFCN called thePixel (by Steve Drazga), 
that returned the value, black or white, of any point on the screen.

For the reverse, setting a pixel, I used to choose the pencil tool and 
click at a point. If the pixel color at that point was white, it would change 
to 
black, if the opposite, well, then the opposite.

The first generation of HC users, like WW II veterans, will soon be

Re: Blend level scale query

2010-11-18 Thread Bob Sneidar
I believe the 1-100 is a measure of percentage, not the actual bit value for 
the alpha channel (or whatever they are doing there). 100 would then correspond 
to 255 (if I do not have it backwards). If you cannot use a decimal value for 
blendLevel then I think you are stuck with 100 levels. Is it easy to discern 
the difference between 50% and 51%? If not, the point is moot.

I never do database stuff. But, for a project I am doing at work, I am going
to need to. Valentina seems like the best choice for what I am doing.

Are there any older versions of the embedded form of the Valentina database

I seem to recall something like this at one time, but the cobwebs in my
brain are pretty thick, so I could be wrong.

Strange Datagrid Column Problem

2010-11-18 Thread Peter Haworth
I've customised a datagrid column to contain a checkbox.  Right after  
the customisation, the checkbox shows up in the column just fine.  I  
then added the following line of code in the FillInData handler for  
the column:


set the hilite of button 1 of the long ID of me to handleBoolean(pData)

.. and I get the message an error has occurred in behavior for the  
column template: Object: can't set this property.


I've used this same code in other datagrids to handle checking and  
unchecking check boxes and it works fine.


So I stuck an answer information right before that line of code to  
display the name of the control just to make sure I was looking at the  
correct control:


answer information the name of button 1 of the long ID of me

The display shows the correct name for the check box but it says it is  
a field, not a checkbox so no wonder it can't set the hilite property!


Any ideas as to how my checkbox got to be a field?  And even more  
puzzling, how does the display of the name of a button show it to be a  
field?

 Just starting to look at Revmobile, I have an app which runs on desktop . I'd 
 like to modify it to the ipad. I reduced the stack size to 1000,700 which 
 should fit the ipad. I have an animated Gif on the first card with a 
 dimension of 700,452. When I make a landscape iPad on the simulator only a 
 portion of the image is shown. Now the simulation iPad app is not the actual 
 size of the ipad. Would the image show up in the actual device? If not, what 
 do I have to do to see what the ipad image would be?


Edward, the iPad screen is 1024 x 768 or 768 x 1024 depending on orientation.

After that, you need to take 20 pixels off for the status bar at the
top, which makes the effective dimensions 1004 x 768 or 748 x 1024.

You can set the orientation using the iphoneRotateInterface command.
If you want to control how you allow the user to rotate, you need to
handle the orientationChanged message as shown in the handbook.

When a rotation occurs, you get a resizeStack message which you can
use to adjust the size of your gif, or show/hide different images.

In the simulator, there are menu items to allow you to simulate a
rotation. The actual scale of the simulator screen depends on your
screen res, but is an accurate representation of what you will see on
the actual iPad screen.

Cheers,
Sarah

OT: getting page hit-counts for on-rev account

2010-11-18 Thread Nicolas Cueto
Hello List,

I guess my question is for fellow on-rev account users.

How can one retrieve a count of the number of visitors to a specific web-page?

Somewhere in the cpanel, I imagine. But if someone knows for certain,
it'd save me a lot of digging around here and there.

Thanks.

In the Logs panel, click on   webalizer

then click on the relevant month
then click on URLs
and then you should see it 

Hopefully there are other, perhaps better ways.

Re: Drag and Drop to Item in List Field

2010-11-18 Thread Bill Vlahos
Getting closer now.

If I put the following script in the source list field the correct text is sent 
in the drag.
on mouseDown
   set the dragData[text] to the selectedText
end mouseDown

Target field script hilites the correct line in the list
on dragMove
  set the hilitedLines of me to (word 2 of the mouseLine)
end dragMove

However, if I also put this script in the target field script nothing happens:
on dragDrop
   put the dragData[text]
   pass dragDrop
end dragDrop

What I need is the dragged text and the target field line. I believe I can only 
get that from the target field not the source field but I can't figure out how.

 Make a scrolling field with some lines of text and put this handler in it:

 How do I have it only hilite one line at a time?

Apostrophes When Downloading From On-Rev

2010-11-18 Thread Gregory Lypny
Hi everyone,

I store some web form data on the On-Rev server.  One thing I've noticed when I 
download it and import into LiveCode is that apostrophes appear as, what looks 
like, a lowercase i but with a small slash rather than a dot on top (ASCII 
234?).  Looks like I can get it by typing Option-Shift-s on a Mac.  To get back 
the apostrophes, would I simply

replace numToChar(234) with numToChar(39)?

Regards,

Gregory

Add a dragEnter handler to the target field:

on dragEnter
  set the dragAction to copy -- there are other options
end dragEnter

on dragMove
  set the hilitelines of me to (word 2 of the mouseline)
end dragMove

on dragDrop
  put the dragData[text}
  pass dragDrop
end dragDrop

As is, the dragdrop handler just puts the text into the message box. If 
you want it dropped into the field, supply a position, like put the 
dragData[text]  cr before the mouseline.

 So then, is the Documents folder you're saving to the same folder
 that Apple expects? In other words can you register that folder as a
 shared folder and see the contents in iTunes?
 
 I think so, but I've only tested in the simulator so far. But the docs say 
 the Documents folder is compatible with iTunes expectations, and that it's 
 seen and backed up by iTunes. There's no indication you need to do anything 
 in particular to get that behavior, it just happens.

Quite often I use a service at http://statcounter.com/

It not only counts, but shows you the pages they were on, what order they 
traveled through, how long on each page, referral, and some other bits of 
information. Helpful for fine tuning entry/landing pages to larger sites. Free 
up to five hundred records (I think) but that simply means it keeps the most 
recent 500. For a price you can add more records and other features.

Thank you for the responses.

Had a look at the on-rev cpanel's Logs, at Google Analytics, and
briefly at statcounter.com. Google Analytics does work with on-rev
webpages (just insert some code into the html code), it is free, and
looks more attractive (and more detailed?) than on-rev Logs. So,
being more familiar with Google than statcounter.com, went with Google
Analytics.

Cheers.

 Are there any older versions of the embedded form of the Valentina database

 I seem to recall something like this at one time, but the cobwebs in my

There was no free version of Valentina for Revolution / Livecode.
