After adding a new control and creating the script, it would be really useful is if a list of available messages relevant for that particular object could be shown either as a contextual menu or in the tabs at the bottom of the script editor.

You mean the Realbasic (now Real Studio) masks? See attached PDF which was extracted from the user guide and also refer to the following: http://realbasic.tutspolis.com/classes/realbasic-textfield-control/ I know that rev can do all this stuff, its just that it is in no way as convenient to implemen...

Glad to hear that others like the idea of field input validation. Rather than mentioning certain RDMS, perhaps RealBasic would have been a more appropriate contrast. Although I haven't used it since Mac OS9 days I believe it has both TextField format and TextField mask properties which come someway ...

I'd very much like to see more direct out of the box support for field validation, customization & input masks. For example boolean properties to create a date entry field (with calendar!), bulleted password field, auto entering values eg date or serial number, perhaps even an expression builder? An...

Looks like my attachment didn't upload, here it is. Chris

I suppose you could update items by loop through a list of fields or items in a table field. The attached file may give you a brief idea though I guess somebody with more RR experience than me could come up with better code or idea. I've worked with a lot of projects that require similar functionali...

Thank you Trevor that works a treat.

I'm still getting a feel for DataGrids but have noticed that it is possible in a DataGrid form to have say row 3 hilited but an editable field in row 2 focused (see attached screenshot). For the project I am working on the row containing the focused object should always be hilited. So I'm thinking t...

Trevor, Thanks for clarifying. I was was hoping to avoid screen locking as it also freezes the animated loading GIF. As not all the table columns in the grid need to be displayed - some were not visible anyway - I will look at loading only the minimum required dgprops (to speed up the DataGrid redra...

Tony, I've done a little VB6 & alot of VBA programming and Rev is a totally different animal. I'm afraid it's gonna be starting from scratch. The thing that confused me the most was that there is no way to pick 'Event handlers' for controls - you need to look them up in the dictionary! Best Regards ...

How would one go about changing the dgprops or dgdata of a datagrid on a card that hasn't yet been shown? In the following scenario the button to load data appears on card1 and the DataGrid itself is on card2 Script 1 works: go to card "card2" set the dgprops ["columns"] of group "DataGrid 1" to tcC...

Many thanks Mark, that will do the trick

I have several existing online MySQL databases (that use encryted passwords) for which I'd like to build front ends in rev. It would be very nice if Rev had built in Sha1 functions to make interaction more secure and seamless.
