Hi dalkin, implementing drawing capabilities is a bit tricky as your flat forehead can tell ;-) Looks like these messages "mousedown/leave etc..." are not send with a drawing tool selected. I did it in the past but used a PALETTE window for the "tools". Another approach will be to "poll" the mouselo...

Hi Kai, you can put a handler into the card script and trap "tabkey" manually. on tabkey put the target into tField ## will contain: field "Name of field" delete word 1 of tField replace QUOTE with empty in tField ## -> Name of field switch tField case "top left field" focus field "bottom left field...

Hi Alan, just put the "keydown" handler into any of your "date" fields and just change this line: ... switch pKey case "T" case "+" case "-" case "M" -- if it's a key that needs special care, handle it put ModifyDate(pKey) into me ... Then change and put the other handler into your stack script and ...

Hi proza, please let me first give the advise to also read related threads here! "newbie question; write to file, read from file?" already has much info about this topic! I do not know what exactly is going wrong in your script but I suggest that you use another syntax to read and write things to fi...

Hi selva, of course I mean the "standalone application settings", where you can select the "script libraries" and "database drivers" (= DLLs). It is not only the creation of that folder but REV also adds a couple of scripts so your app will be able to use the DLLs, and THAT is the tricky part. Do yo...

Hi selvabits, well, Rev does this (and everything that is necessary to use the dlls!) automatically for you when you include "Script Libraries" in the "Standalone Builder Settings" dialog. You can do this manually with one or more scripts in your (standalone) stack, but this is definitively advanced...

Hi Paul,

here is another not too inuitive hint concerning tabbed buttons:
If you want to simulate a "mouseclick on one of the TABS" you can use:

set the menuhistory of btn "tabbed button" to 1
## or any other (tab) number

Hi Paul,

yes, this is a bit tricky

You can:
select line 1 of btn "Your tabbedbutton here..."
## Or any other line...

This will "hilite" the first TAB.

Hi all,

and again we proved that there are many rev-ways to skin a rev-cat

Wouldn't that be "repeat for each element" in this case"

Hi Mark,

can you retrieve the key with this? Don't think so.
Kai needs to get the "unknown" key from a "known" value.

Hi Kai,

since Rev introduced "repeat for each key tKey in tArray" in version 2.7.2,
maybe a repeat loop is a bit faster nevertheless?

Hi Ricklionhart (how was the last crusade? ;-)), I don't think that Rev should have the ability to change the screen resolution. I personally would NOT like if an app changes MY resolution automatically without asking me. Maybe it is possible with AppleScript but for Win you will have to use some th...

Hi Kai, sorry, no nifty function ;-) But you could use a nifty trick using the "combine" function to extract the "key" from the array like this: Given "tArry" is your array and "unique_value" is the value of the unknown key you are looking for. ... combine tArray by CR and TAB ## This will turn your...

Hi homer, please don't give up too soon, help is on its way! This is what you want, its not very efficient, but effiency will come to your code later after you understood all the basics :-) The basic syntax for writing contents to textfiles is like this: (If you use "write ... to file ..." then you ...

Hi proza,

use brackets and it will work

repeat with i=1 to whatever
put i into field ("f" & i)
end repeat

Rev will evaluate the string first to "f1", "f2" etc.

P.S.
But an array is a complete different animal
