This is a great discussion of best practices and guidelines for 4D Projects and I hope others chime in. It’s a new world for many of us. I would like to start using Project Mode, but our apps have hundreds (maybe thousands) of highlight buttons, which are incompatible. If anyone has built an automated or even semi-automated way to convert highlight buttons to 3D buttons, I’d love to hear about it.
