Don't forget that Rev will levy a charge
of $50 to change their records to show
the new licence owner.

So a very subtle difference!

Thanks SparkOut.

Are the "set visible of" and "hide/show" functions
identical or are there situations where one is preferable
to the other?

As "lock messages" doesn't get many mentions
I was wondering if there are any traps for the
inexperienced - situations when "lock messages"
will cause problems.

Thanks for your interest.

My attempts to create graphs didn't get
me anywhere until I got hold of the
plotter_test1.rev from Klaus.

So thanks Klaus and here's a pic of what
I was able to achieve using your stack as
a model.

The values are prog-generate and put into an
array. The required values are then put into
point ...

I was looking for a way to prevent a user
clicking on a key while the prog was making
400 clones of a small image and found "lock messages".

Worked like magic but what amazed me was
the speed increase - so much in fact that I had
to put a "wait 5" in the loop to get it to run slowly
enough.

Not ...

Thanks for the sympathetic reply malte.

Reminds me of the days when one of the
most popular operating systems was called
C/PM. The problems arose becaust the
C/PM OS as supplied to computer manufacturers
didn't specify a file format.

The result was that every computer maker
"rolled their own" so ...

I make a backup just about every time I save
my code.

With revAltArchive they have a string of numbers
added so that someprog.rev is saved as
someprog00001.rev.

When something goes wrong I open an appropriate
archive copy.

My confusion arrises because it opens as "someprog.rev".
As I've probably ...

This morning I though I had cracked it - drew
a nice curved graph and even figured out how to
delete all those graphic objects!

This afternoon a different story. After trying to
figure out why one of the buttons on my current
project didn't do what it was supposed to do after
half an hour I finally ...

Thanks SparkOut.

Done too much Rev so will get some
sleep and tackle it on the morrow.

Yes, processedCount goes up for each button-press.
Tried putting it into a var at the start and checking
agains it but as it doesn't go up we're in an endless
loop.

Perhaps adding 1 to spinCount would do it - either
that or screw the whole thing up.

I have another button to do the last numbers
one at a time or the value of btnVar2 could be
set the the appropriate value for number of
numbers left.

At the moment if I have btnVar2 set to five
and 50 numbers in a file I can load
say 30 to start then do them 5 at a time until ...

Another roulette prog I'm working on
needs some code and I can't figure out
how to make it work.

Loads a file of numbers - say 152.
Processes selected number - say 100.
A button to process next say 10 numbers -
so that stats can be calculated after each
ten additional numbers have been processed ...

I want to put an "X" in a certain position
in a field.

I've set the tabStop and can send the right
number of tabs but always get the "X" in the
same position.

Think it might be that the "cursor" is at the
position in the line from the first set of "tabs".

If this is the problem how do I set the ...

Tried a few variations in an attempt to
find a way of using the same code for
a number of buttons without having to
repeat the code in each button handler.

Is there a way to have one line of code
in each "mouseUp" handler which directs
to common code elsewhere?

Expect it might need 'with message ...
