james_nak 9-Sep-2008 [322] | Can I try it? |
Graham 9-Sep-2008 [323] | you need R/command. |
james_nak 9-Sep-2008 [324] | That's what it is looking like. |
sqlab 9-Sep-2008 [325] | At the moment I have no access to that old pc and script. I takes a few days, but then you can get it. At least someone was even using it on Linux, as Command does not provide ODBC access there. |
james_nak 9-Sep-2008 [326] | Thanks in advance then. I'm really trying hard to not have to learn VB : ) Which may not be a good thing in the long run. Thanks. |
BrianH 9-Sep-2008 [327x2] | If you can get them to upgrade to 2007 (the runtime is free), then you won't have to do as much VB for UI stuff. |
You should also consider having them use SQL Server 2008 Express instead of Access for the database portion, though you still have to be careful about datatype translation if you are still using Access as a front-end, even 2007. | |
Graham 9-Sep-2008 [329] | sqlab, how did your odbc wrapper work? |
james_nak 9-Sep-2008 [330] | Thanks Brian. I forgot about Express. If I can convince them to let me do a complete Rebol app I would do that. : ) |
BrianH 9-Sep-2008 [331x2] | Express 2008 came out last month, even the advanced versions. I have used the client-side tools and they are nice, and have read good things about the server-side improvements. The new report generation tool is purported to have its UI based on the Access 2007 style, though I haven't played with it yet. |
I can say without hesitation that the Access 2007 user interface is drastically better (though its engine needs replacing). | |
james_nak 10-Sep-2008 [333] | Thanks and this project is pretty basic. It's more along the lines of a task management system. Right now they do it with some fairly bulky spreadsheets. Thanks for the tip. |
sqlab 11-Sep-2008 [334] | Graham, you use the wrapper like this do %odbc-lib.r db: sql/open "DSN" "user" "pass" sql/exec db "select * from your_table" while [not empty? row: sql/fetch db] [probe row] sql/close db I used my own routines of calling the odbc.dll, because of some glitches with RT's implementation and some databases. |
Graham 11-Sep-2008 [335] | Interesting. And this works on Linux as well? |
sqlab 11-Sep-2008 [336] | I never tried it, but I sent it to someone and he wrote, that it was working. Of course you have to load .so instead of .dll. |
Anton 16-Sep-2008 [337] | Accessing ODBC data sources with Core and View http://anton.wildit.net.au/rebol/doc/translated/AccessODBC/odbcsockserv_english.html |
GiuseppeC 20-Sep-2008 [338] | I have linked the Article in R2 Wiki but the link to Gavin F.McKenzie parse http://www3.sympatico.ca/gavinis not working. |
PeterWood 20-Sep-2008 [339] | I think you'll find it here http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=xml-parse.r&sid=ij461ww |
GiuseppeC 25-Sep-2008 [340] | The original article should be fixed and the link changed. |
Graham 25-Sep-2008 [341] | sqlab - any luck finding your odbc-lib.r ? |
sqlab 26-Sep-2008 [342] | I sent it already to James_Nak two weeks ago. Since then it did not hear anything |
Graham 26-Sep-2008 [343x2] | Would you send me a copy too? |
I've been using WINE to get ODBC working on Linux .. not very satisfactory due to WINE bugs. | |
sqlab 26-Sep-2008 [345] | It's on the way to you. But there are some years gone, since I used it the last time. |
Graham 26-Sep-2008 [346] | Thanks |
james_nak 26-Sep-2008 [347x2] | Yes, sqlab and Graham, I haven't had the chance to start my testing. I have to wait for weekends and the last two have been swamped. |
Sqlab, OK, I gave your odbc-lib a shot. So far so good. Thanks. I'll be doing some more testing over the weekend. If you know of any quirks, please let me know. I'm pretty much an "insert" and "Select" SQL guy so it should be fine. Thanks again. | |
Brock 26-Sep-2008 [349] | sqlab - can I get a copy of your ODBC-lib as well? The email address inmy profie is valid. |
sqlab 29-Sep-2008 [350] | on the way |
james_nak 7-Oct-2008 [351] | Does anyone know how the 2.7 SDK is distributed to previous SDK owners? |
Henrik 7-Oct-2008 [352x2] | Aren't you able to freely download the latest SDK binaries? |
From the same directory as the ordinary binaries from rebol.net | |
james_nak 7-Oct-2008 [354x2] | You know I thought I saw that but this morning I went to the main site and that's pretty much the same as it always has been. Thanks. I'll take a look. |
Henrik, thanks. There she was! | |
james_nak 9-Oct-2008 [356] | Is it possible to hide a button that is the button one just pressed? my_button: btn "test" [hide my_button] |
Pekr 9-Oct-2008 [357] | it is probably better to not hide the button, but to disable it. You can find enable/disable script on rebol.org .... |
james_nak 9-Oct-2008 [358] | Thanks Pekr |
Gregg 9-Oct-2008 [359] | You have to be a ltitle tricky to hide it James, because it wants to redraw when you release the mouse button. In the past, I've set up a central handler and states to control what is shown, then your action just sets the state you want and the button will be hidden on the next pass (timer event). |
james_nak 9-Oct-2008 [360] | Thanks Gregg, that is tricky. Well, it wasn't a super important item so I ended up using the enable/disable. Thanks anyway. |
Anton 9-Oct-2008 [361] | http://anton.wildit.net.au/rebol/gui/self-hider-btn.r |
james_nak 10-Oct-2008 [362] | Even Better. Thanks Anton. You sure make some cool stuff. |
Anton 10-Oct-2008 [363] | Thankyou James. |
james_nak 23-Oct-2008 [364] | Has anyone ever seen the "Call" word not work? I've been trying to simply call %/c/rebol/view.exe and it shows up in task manager but I never see the application. It's not just that particular app either. The funny thing is I was successful doing that at my work computer. |
Graham 23-Oct-2008 [365x2] | yes |
try one of the options like call/show | |
james_nak 23-Oct-2008 [367x2] | Any idea why? |
OK. | |
Graham 23-Oct-2008 [369] | bug |
james_nak 23-Oct-2008 [370] | Good idea Doc. That worked. |
Gregg 23-Oct-2008 [371] | The show option, and hiding the shell window by default, was a change in new releases. |
