Chip: Uh, er, ah, yeah, I *could* but I'm thinking that it's such a trivial thing for 4D to expose it as a property of an entity that I'd rather wait till 4D adds it. The use case is to display an alert to the user than an entity is locked. 4D returns all sorts of info about the fact that it's locked, but the dataclass name is AWOL. That strikes me as an oversight.
Another issue that needs to be resolved is scoping. I've got a couple of hundred sets of setters and getters that I've been using with ObjectTools and I shudder at the idea of all of those property names being added to the IDE without any sort of scoping mechanism. I'm holding off on that move until "object-based" becomes "object oriented". But thanks for letting me know that my posts are getting through! -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Tue, Oct 23, 2018 at 2:04 PM Chip Scheide <[email protected]> wrote: > can you wrap the call to create the entity, tracking the detail(s) you > want to track as you create the entity? > > > On Tue, 23 Oct 2018 13:49:07 -0700, Douglas von Roeder via 4D_Tech > wrote: > > Neil: > > > > I asked, essentially, the same question yesterday and got no response. > > > > Given that ORDA is a work in progress, perhaps it will be added to the > > language. > > > > -- > > Douglas von Roeder > > 949-336-2902 > > > > > > On Tue, Oct 23, 2018 at 1:23 PM Dennis, Neil via 4D_Tech < > > [email protected]> wrote: > > > >> Is there a way to determine where an entity is from?
