New user of RR Studio 2.8.1 Build 472 on Mac OS/X 10.4.11 PPC G4.
I have put together the beginnings of an application that uses mySQL, with a mainstack and (so far) 3 substacks. Things are going slow, but making progress. Took a while to figure out why my mainstack's openstack & closestack scripts got control when I opened/closed a substack ... almost seems like a bug, but I am getting the hang of it, I think. (added null message handlers to substacks and all was well) Still trying to figure out what goes in openCard vs openStack ... normal learning curve. I've got menus and custom properties, hiding/showing controls, etc.
Then I decided to add a checkbox button. Spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to retrieve the check/not-checked status. Very frustrating. No where could I find it documented. The are both containers ... but 'field "myField"' returns the contents of a field, though 'button "myButton"' does not return the checked status. I assigned a value of false to the button, and it retained it forever (so a check box _is_ a container, just not related to the check box status). I finally looked at an example that had a check box to find the hilite property (well keyword, the hilite property in the dictionary says it is used to set the value, not test it). Who would have thought ...
A BNF of the language would be most helpful, does one exist? Or really any complete language reference.
Is there a message reference? In the video about how to find information, it shows (what seems to be) pre-2.8.1 documentation, and just from the short clip, it looks like this documentation could help somewhat (there was a short clip of a message reference too). After my open/closeStack default message passing incident, I feel a sudden need to know every message.
And just now, my variable watch window decided to not show most variables. Instead, it shows the variable names in the values. Before the variable is set and right after, doesn't matter, just the variable name (vpharmacy | vpharmacy). The script continues to work and the message box displays the correct values, but the variable watch window is no longer functional. (it worked before)
thanks in advance and appologies for the whine, Mike. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
