Hi Kirk, > Does sound pretty complex.
Yep! > Well two thoughts. First, you can use an object array in a listbox without > 4D WritePro or anything else - you just can't display them directly. First I implemented my original design using List box columns working with object arrays. My version very much acts like the property editor in design. http://livedoc.4d.com/4D-Language-Reference-16-R4/List-Box/Using-object-arrays-in-columns-4D-View-Pro.300-3317571.en.html Actually if you need to use them in a client-server setup you will need separate licenses for each user to utilize the behavior. I tried to get 4D to make this one feature native to 4D but they said it’s not possible. Additionally there are limits to what I can do in a cell. So to avoid the first issue and expand my UI possibilities I am rewriting months of work. Thus where I have arrived! And still trying to understand the ins and outs of multi-level deep subforms. > Second is I worked out a routine to put c-objects into an hList and allow > the user to edit the values if you prefer to look at it like a c-obj. I'll > be sharing that at my presentation in DC. I would’ve also created a session for DC but my son’s wedding redirected my time and resources. I was going to show/explain my property editor and then the panel approach as well. But alas… I love objects! They allow me to create organized messes - much like my desk - where I can get a moot done! <smile> JOhn… ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
