Dave, i'll try very hard to be objective...
Once your controls go haywire in Rev with the GM, you can try the following: - type RevUpdateGeometry in the message box - this should trigger the right redraw that was missed by the engine for whatever reason. - If that fails, put an empty "on resizestack" handler in your stack to prevent rev redrawing the geometry. Resize your controls and when you are done, save. Then try to revCacheGeometry - but it may screw things up later... Problems arise if you changed the owner a control or group after setting the revGM properties. You can detect them via a stack i made http://monsieurx.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=72 To prevent madness, use these two functions to "test" the gm: -- Save all positions in case of GM screw up on saveGeometry local clist, cid, crect put the rect of this stack & CR into clist repeat with x = 1 to the number of controls put the short id of control x into cid put the rect of control x into crect put cid & tab & crect & cr after clist end repeat delete last char of clist set the OriginalGeometry of this stack to clist end saveGeometry on restoreGeometry local clist, cid, crect lock messages put the OriginalGeometry of this stack into clist set the rect of this stack to line 1 of clist delete line 1 of clist set the itemdelimiter to tab repeat for each line L in clist put item 1 of L into cid put item 2 of L into crect set the rect of control id CID to crect end repeat --if not isMetaCard() then revcachegeometry --end if end restoreGeometry I have a bonus script that STRIPS the GM from stacks too which was used quite often since their button "clear GM" in the RPP wasn't usefull... but it's too long to post here... ;) Remember that if you have a RevErrorDisplay action due to a bug, it may block any GM from working (yet another bummer to watch for)... Example: open the revErrorDisplay stack and see it naked! ;) Try to type revUpdateGeometry right after in the message box to set your GM to normal - but it may not work... Last but not least, please vote for bugzillas: 1223, 2079, 2341, 2355, 2335, 2363 in the hopes that they fix it one day. After months of crying, complaining and going bananas with the GM, i wrote my own "object oriented GM". I haven't had ONE problem or mis-resize since... hope that helps Xavier http://MonsieurX.com _______________________________________________ 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
