Re: How to set the file name of a QR Report to disk file.

2017-12-28 Thread Guy Algot via 4D_Tech

I use an offscreen area. For example ;

myQR:=QR New offscreen area
QR SET REPORT TABLE(myQR;Table(->[InvoiceItems])) 

QR INSERT COLUMN(myQR;1;->[InvoiceItems]InvoiceDate)
QR INSERT COLUMN(myQR;2;->[InvoiceItems]InvoiceNo)
QR INSERT COLUMN(myQR;3;->[InvoiceItems]Customer)
QR INSERT COLUMN(myQR;4;->[InvoiceItems]PartNo)

QR SET DESTINATION(myQR;qr text file;$path_vT)
QR RUN(myQR)
QR DELETE OFFSCREEN AREA(myQR)

What you were able to do in versions prior to v16 was generate this code by 
simply designing the report in the QR editor and using the wizard.  I cannot 
find the wizard in the new QR editor.

Re: SET WINDOW RECT v14 / v16

2017-12-28 Thread B.Bippus via 4D_Tech

Maybe this is helping: Sometimes there are some Form-Objects outside the
visible Area at the Form. Make sure they are _not_ below the "imaginary"
horizontal line of the Form-Objects and Form-Parts you are moving via Code.

RESOLVE POINTER does not work in preemptive processes

Just spent hours chasing this issue down (16.3). RESOLVE POINTER is marked as 
preemptive ready, but in a preemptive process the name returned for the process 
variable is always empty. Example


C_TEXT(myTextVar)

C_TEXT($varName)
C_LONGINT($tableNum;$fieldNum)

RESOLVE POINTER(->myTextVar;$varName;$tableNum;$fieldNum) `$varName returns ""

I remember having found SET WINDOW RECT too slow to be used on mac - 4D 2003, a

Did you try RESIZE FORM WINDOW instead?

Re: How to set the file name of a QR Report to disk file.

2017-12-28 Thread Douglas von Roeder via 4D_Tech

John:

I wasn't sure of how QR REPORT worked. I checked the docs and the path at
$2 is the path to the report so my thinking was there there was a save file
dialog needed.

The other thing that came to mind was is you could handle this like you
would with 4D Write - create an offscreen area, run the report in the
offscreen area, and then handle the report as desired. That's what the last
example (#5) in the docs does - it creates the report in a BLOB which you
can handle with 4D document commands. Is that something that might take
care of it?

SET WINDOW RECT v14 / v16

2017-12-28 Thread Jeremy Roussak via 4D_Tech

I have a form with several pages. Movement is controlled by a tab object. The 
pages differ greatly in the number of fields they contain and some are much 
larger than others: the width is constant (and the form is not resizable by the 
user) but the height varies.

I resize the window when the user moves between pages. To make it look nice, I 
animate the resize by using SET WINDOW RECT in a tight loop, which takes about 
a quarter of a second.

$inc:=($newBottom-$b)/6
If ($inc#0)
For ($i;$b;$newBottom;$inc)
SET WINDOW RECT($l;$t;$r;$i)
End for 
End if 

In v14, this worked nicely. When moving to a larger page, the contents remained 
static while the window enlarged or shrank, and then the new contents were 
redrawn.

In v16, the contents seem to be bound to the bottom of the window, not the top. 
So when the window grows, all the contents move downwards, leaving a blank area 
at the top 
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/8rdoljxmq2wafxp/Screenshot%202017-12-28%2013.24.37.jpg?dl=0
 
).
 When it shrinks, the contents move upwards 
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/9jqqejrkbhwrd3k/Screenshot%202017-12-28%2013.30.17.jpg?dl=0
 
).

Is this a bug? Is there a reason for it? Is there an alternative way of doing 
what I’m trying to get done? I’m using SET WINDOW RECT because it’s very fast 
and it doesn’t require a pass through the event loop, which ended up being very 
slow.

Thanks for that example!

You can draw with svg on the fly and set it as background using a variable name 
in the format. And then embed that in a widget.

I never tried, but I have doubt about the listbox header button type allows 
that.

I would be interested to know how this part work for you. I did something
similar - 4D generates .fdf file, it is open in Acrobat Readed and then 4d
monitors changes in modification date. I tried to use lsof on Mac to
monitor if file is still open, but this seems unreliable. Checking
modification date has its shortcomings as well.
