in my experience, most commands do not accept pictures via object notation property.
> SET LIST ITEM ICON(sBar_RecordsSelect;1000;o_Images.sidebar_All) pictures, blobs and pointers are somewhat different to other sorts of variables, it's not the kind of ambiguity that parentheses can fix. you need to use a local variable. > Results in an error: “4D was expecting a table or a pointer” > > $i_sidebar_All:=o_Images.sidebar_All > SET LIST ITEM ICON(sBar_RecordsSelect;1000;$i_sidebar_All) > > Works fine --- > Another instance of it not appearing to accept picture values from objects > is when assigning a picture object value to a button variable in the > property list. It appears to be ignored. not all expression properties accept object notation. for instance, it is not allowed to define Form.button as a button data source. only variables are allowed. it seems to be for optimisation, or to avoid race conditions, or possibly both. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
