Simple Scroll Example

I am having trouble finding a simple example of scrolling a group of objects, either with the "built-in" group scroll bar, or a separate scroll bar object. I have searched the documentation and the forum. The documentation is not not helping me much, and the forum posts address more esoteric scrolli...

I have managed to get the result I want by adding "/min" to the windows command, starting the window minimized. I believe that removing "start" will cause the Rev app to lose control until the windows application terminates, which is not what I want.

Thanks for the suggestion Klaus. I tried it, but my command tool window is still popping up. I am starting to think I have to approach this from the java side. The command tool window has a little java icon on the left hand side of the window bar, where you would normally see an icon of a command to...

Here is my code: on mouseUp put "start java -jar 'C:/Documents and Settings/pspringer/ganymedeWorksp...

Thanks Jan - you've been very helpful. I am making progress with a socket solution and will probably go that way, but your example on read and write from/to "process" cleared that up for me too. As an aside, I am having a lot of trouble using the forum - every time I try to submit something I get an...

OK, I found the process command descriptions in the Dictionary. Now, can you tell me how the Java program sees data written to the "process"? Do you read as from the console?

Thanks,

Thanks Jan - I will investigate. A quick look at the User's Guide did not turn up any details of how the open/write to/read from/close process commands work, but I'll see what I can find. There will be lots of data, particularly returning from the Java app - on the order of many thousands of lines, ...

Communicating between Rev and Java

I have a large Java application (not JScript) and I would like to exchange data between a Runtime stack and that Java application (on a Windows PC). It looks like it might be an option to create a DLL from my Java source/.jar but that looks pretty complex/expensive. Perhaps JScript would provide a w...
