Re: SVG - how to encode angle brackets as text?

[Kirk Brooks]

Ok, so this is an edge case. The ultimate workaround was to just build the
image in pure SVG using lines.

Good job on burying the real lede in this exchange - that you have the

I've developed small database that shrinks a list of my ten favorite movies, 
based on how I answer questions, until there is only one movie left. Then, it 
sends me on a beer run along Moab's Portal Trail 
.

I'm down to two.

Can't Select Text In v15 - Any Ideas?

[Allan Udy]

We have one database that was written in v14, upgraded to v15 a few 
months ago.


Several tables have alpha/text fields, and in (only) one of thois 
tables, in the input form, the users can NOT select text in any of those 
fields by clicking and dragging with the mouse.  They can double click a 
word which will highlight it (and allow cut/copy/paste), and they can 
use Edit > Select All which again allows cut/copy/paste.


All other tables (input screens) allow 'normal' click and dfrag 
selection of text in any fields.


I've got to the point of creating a brand new input form with just two 
text fields on it , and even that doesn't work for the problematic table.


Anyone have any suggestions as what could be the issue?

Cheers
Allan

SVG - how to encode angle brackets as text?

[Kirk Brooks]

I'm playing with some SVG and using the *SVGTool_SHOW_IN_VIEWER.* I notice
that when I attempt to set angle brackets in some text I get an error if I
try to display it in the viewer.

I don't do a lot of SVG so this may be well known already but is this an
issue with the 4D SVG viewer tool or something about text in VSG in general?

Here's an example of what I'm doing:

$text:=""
$fontSize:=80
$x:=25
$y:=10
$textWidth:=90
$font:="Helvetica"
$textHeight:=$fontSize+2

$svg_textArea:=SVG_New_textArea
($svgRef;$text;$x;$y;$textWidth;$textHeight;$font;$fontSize;0;Align center)


​I'm working on some code to generate file icons if you're wondering why
I'm trying to use such text.​

​That part all works fine. The error pops up when I put the $svgRef object
into the viewer tool. It only seems to be angle brackets. I tried escaping
them to no avail. I even tried rendering the text into a picture and then
setting the picture in the $svgRef object but the Viewer also barfed on
that.

Anyone have some insight?

Thanks​

XML Validation with XSD...

[Benedict, Tom]

I'm trying to validate some XML using an XML schema (XSD). 

I have XML and XSD documents which validate successfully in oXygen (an XML 
editor). However, when I use them with 4D's DOM Parse XML variable I get the 
following error:

The XML file is not valid or is not well-formed. (grammar not found for 
namespace '' : Line #  3,Column # 60.)

Postings back in 2014 by Mitchell Shiller and Bruno Legay explain how including 
a namespace declaration is essential, so I have included 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; in the root element.

Here is the XML:

  
  http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;>
  
  WS_SQLReg_MO
  State
  True
  
  

And here is the XSD:

  
  http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema; 
elementFormDefault="qualified">

  

  

  


  

  
  
  

  




  

Any clues as to what I am missing?

Thanks,

Tom Benedict

How to bring an application to the foreground (Windows)?

[Daniel N. Solenthaler]

Hi friends,

on a 4D form, we have a button that calls a VB script to have Outlook create a 
new email window (on Windows).

The VB script inserts all the necessary data (To:, CC, etc. including 
attachments).

The only problem we have, is that Outlook stays in the background and the new 
email window is also in the background, thus not visible for the user.

We need a way to bring Outlook to the front.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Daniel

Re: Equals is not always transitive

[Jeremy French]

Hi David,

This section of the Language Reference may help in remembering which operand 
(of the equality operator) gets the wildcard.

It’s found in  “Operators” -> “Comparison Operators”. Then look for section 
titled "More about string comparisons”.

For wildcard placement:

"The wildcard character must be used within the second operand (the string on 
the right side) in order to match any number of characters.”

See: 
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16/Comparison-Operators.300-3036456.en.html#Paragraph_863680

Best regards,
Jeremy French

I am developing with V14 on 10.12.2 and have no problems.
One of my users switched to Sierra a few days ago and 4D is crashing sometimes 
(not always) when he is creating a pdf from 4D write. Apart from that he
