Chip, Your specific example would not work, because “My_execute” would not have access to the calling method’s local variables. That is not a component issue, that would not work even if My_execute were a local method :-(
Now to answer your question, yes a Component method can issue an Execute Formula and reference a host method. All you need is to ensure your host method is set as “Shared between host and components”. hth > On Jun 29, 2018, at 12:35 PM, Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I have some code I would like to put into a component.. but... > I am uncertain how it will interact with the host. > > The method, uses Execute Formula. > The method takes a text parameter which is a bit of code to execute. > In it's current use (in the host) the text is most often a an apply to > selection, which references a host method. > > ex: My_execute("Apply to selection($table_ptr->;my_apply_Code)") > My_Execute > . > . > . > Execute Formula($1) > > is code similar to this functional in the context of execution in a > component? > especially, where the code to be executed by Execute formula is an > apply to selection and referencing a host method. > > I hope my question is clear enough > > Thanks > Chip > --------------- > Gas is for washing parts > Alcohol is for drinkin' > Nitromethane is for racing > ********************************************************************** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:[email protected] > ********************************************************************** -- Julio Carneiro [email protected] ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
