<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Each day I'm more convinced that Revolution is a
great program tool. Some things are amazing easy to do, and seems so powerfull
that I think no program CAN'T be developed in Rev. But, I must ask some
questions: (first, sorry by comparing Rev with VB, but I'm a BASIC programmer
since 1986, and VB is my current world ;-] )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Nowadays, more and more applications (especially
those developed in RAD tools) are using HTML, for display data, forms, or
whatever. In my case, I use HTML for custom relats (my program parses tags in
HTML file and then replace them with some data. It's a easy way to make relats
customizable for the final user). Revolution doesn't have a control that show
HTML pages (I know there is a DLL, which I assume that use IE engine, but work
only for Windows). There is some way to display full HTML pages within cards, in
all plataforms (or, at least, Windows and *nix)? Or, if not, at least a
"standard" way to "execute" a HTML file (some kind of shell that would open the
default Web Browser of OS and display a local file).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Someone know a site where there is some Rev.
applications to download (to study, of course, open source)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) Since Windows 95, both Mac and *nix plataforms
are using controls like the Windows TreeView and ListItems controls. There is
something like this for Revolution (TV and LI objects are used, for example, in
a Windows Explorer window, wich TreeView is the object that shows a "tree" of
folders and ListItems is the object that show items with icons, tabs and
subitems)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4) Is there a IDE for Revolution other than
the current?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5) Revolution IDE is capable of showing the "look
and feel" of other plataforms (for example, MacOS and Motif). In a distributed
application, there is some way to make it look like a Mac, for example, by
default (in other words: Can I make a Revolution application in
Windows that mantain the "look" of Mac?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>6) When making a compiled application from
Revolution, I noticed that it would NOT support Microsoft icons other than 16
colors... There's no way to use 256 colors icons? (the best would be if Rev.
could use TrueColor or RGBA icons, but 256 colors are the minimal to nowadays
Windows stardards).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well... I guess it's "only" this... Thanx in
advance for all ;-)</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
