Hello,

I am facing a bug (maybe already reported): when you increase the height of a push-button (the one with the aqua-style) to 25 px and above, it automtically takes the appearance of a square button. If you go back to a height below 25 px, then it returns to its normal aqua look-and-feel.

I am wondering when we can expect a Leopard compatible version of Revolution. Considering the amount of money you ask for Runtime Revolution, I would expect much more reactivity... Leopard has been released three months ago and we are still waiting for an update.

Regards

François

Bonjour François,

Apple has guidelines that dictate which style button should have which size - the same applies to Java applications, where the 'bounds' of a button can result in the same effect.

Thanks for your answer...

BTW, the small incompatibilities with Leopard do not prevent enjoying RunRev.... but it I am still looking forward the official "Leopard Ready" version!

François,

Have you reported this problem in the Quality Center? http://quality.runrev.com
Doing that will allow the RunRev engineers to confirm it and perhaps modify their code to circumvent this limitation.

If I remember correctly, it's already been posted there.

If the height of the button exceeds a certain limit, it will be drawn as a rectangle and not a rounded button. This is because Rev draws the buttons using OS X's own routines. In Leopard, the distinction between rectangle and rounded buttons was made but it was not present in Tiger.

Aha, I see it's QC entry #5698 - and it is indeed, as I suggested, an issue induced by changes in the MacOSX drawing routines.
Let's hope this behaviour is documented somewhere as a known limitation, to cut down on the number of surprised reactions from the general public.
