Hi all.

There must have been a good reason to move this on 6.1, but on Mac, the "Help" menu is not the place to put that info. In 6.0 it was in the proper place...

Regards.

Hi, glynster. I'll be writing an application soon that will use bar code readers (and Epson thermal printers, BTW). Could you post in this thread comments, suggestions, ideas, that come up as a result of what you'll be doing with barcode readers? I, for one, would certainly appreciate them. And I'll...

Hi Klaus and Björnke. Thanks for your responses! So mouseEnter and mouseLeave it's going to be. Thanks. By the way, Björnke, I agree with your statement that buttons should be immediately recognisable as active areas. But a bit of visual confirmation can only help reassure the user. Just as you've...

Hi all. I'd like to have some buttons change appearance automatically when the mouse passes over them; just like links behave on most Web pages. I'd probably want the name of the button to become underlined and to change color. But I'm quite confused as to the best way to achieve this. I'm looking a...

as a start you could "peep" all the REV scripts for "revcopyfolder" etc.!
Button "revCommon" of cd 1 of stack "revlibrary"

Hi, Klaus.

Ahem... Could you explain a bit exactly what you mean?

Thanks!

Hi all. I'd like advice on the preferred "Revolution" way of handling this situation: I have a Customer table. Contains these fields, among others: phone number, name and key. The key is a simple numeric, auto-incremented by MySQL. Typically, the user will search for the proper customer record by en...

Hi Glen (and welcome to the forum!) and Mark.

Thanks for your ideas. Just goes to show that there are indeed many ways to skin a cat!

Hi, all. I'm in the planning stages for a "counter" application (order entry, delivery, payment, etc.) in a dry-cleaning store. The user interface will be done in Revolution, the data will be kept in MySQL databases. One of the design questions I'm facing is this: in the process of "building" an ord...

That's not Dan is it? Tell me there's another Dan!!

Naw... Come one. Has to be another one!!!

Hi, all. So I've been trying to install MySQL but also running into problems doing that. Update: all the symptoms pointed to an installation (of MySQL) that had not completed or that had not been done. So I re-installed and everything is now OK, as far as MySQL is concerned: the proper directories a...

Hi, Janschenkel. Is this on Windows or on Mac? On a Mac. I haven't looked at the ODBC driver install yet. I suspect that, in the end, I won't want to use Filemaker as the database, but MySQL instead. So I've been trying to install MySQL but also running into problems doing that. Probably a permissio...

Hi, all. Just a quick update on my travails. My problem may be caused by a faulty Filemaker ODBC driver installation. I remember having had problems installing and configuring it on the "test machine". I made some changes this morning (by the way, WHERE is GMT +5???), and now, Revolution bombs total...

Hi, all. While testing RR, I used a few of the Rev database functions and commands. To my satisfaction. I've now purchased RR and installed it on a machine I'm using at the cottage, for the time being. However, one of the stacks I used for testing no longer works. This stack simply accesses a Filema...

Hi, Mark It's a start, anyway. And a very good start! All that remained to do was to add a bit of logic to take into account lines (in fld Master) that are several times longer than (the width of fld Master - the scrollBarWidth of fld Master) and to put the appropriate number of CR into fld B. There...

Thanks for your suggestions. You can set the 'textStyle' property of individual chunks: Code: set the textStyle of word 2 of line 3 of field "foobar" to "bold,italic" Or, you can play with the 'htmlText' property of the field to achieve the same result by inserting <b>...</b> tags in the proper plac...
