OK, it should still be in the LRM. I rarely go to the DRM and in this case I wouldn’t even think to go to the LRM. I wonder how many long time developers even are aware that this checkbox has been added to the list box property list let alone that it would completely shut down the list box. I didn’t and must have accidentally checked it. Not a good situation.
I just posted the following in the Feature Request section of the 4D Forum… ——— This new List Box property requires a 4D View Pro license. If the license is absent with this box checked the List Box is renedered completely unusable when deployed. The developer does not have a clue that there is anything amiss as the Developer License includes 4D View Pro. It is very easy to inadvertantly check this check box and not discover the problem until deploying to a client that does not use 4D View Pro. If this will remain as standard behavior, the check box needs better documentaion. This constraint is mentioned in the Design Reference manual and is hinted to in the 4D View Pro Reference. There is nothing in the Language Reference Manual nor anything in the Property List that warns the designer. It is requested that one or all of the following be implemented. 1. Document the requirement in the Language Reference Manual. 2. Change the Property List annotation to read "Automatic Row Height (requires 4D View Pro license) 4. Throw an alert saying "4D View Pro licese required if checked" 5. Change the behaviour when the check box is checked and the proper license is not present. Instead of disabling the entire list box, just disable the Automatic Row Height feature. ————— John > On Dec 6, 2017, at 6:33 AM, Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> so.. you don't have and don't use 4D View pro so no reason to examine the >> docs... > > It's also documented in the Design Reference under 'List Boxes / List Box > specific properties': > http://livedoc.4d.com/4Dv16-R5/help/Title/en/page3205.html#3510338 > { > Automatic Row Height > > 4D View Pro only: This feature requires a 4D View Pro license.
