Procedurally set Movable Rows option for a listbox

[Piotr Chabot Stadhouders via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

4D v16R5
I must be overlooking it, but how can I procedurally set the Movable Rows 
option for a listbox?

Gr,

Piotr

Re: Import from Excel

[Jeremy French via 4D_Tech]

Hi Tim,

Just tried the Tech Note using v16 without success.

Apparently PHPExcel is deprecated. It’s successor is PHPSpreadsheet at:

https://github.com/PHPOffice 

Could you possibly do a new edition of your Tech Note using PHPSpreadsheet and 
v16?

Best regards,
Jeremy

We don’t use 4D’s import, so I can’t comment on whether it works correctly or 
not.

The exporting software is supposed to enclose strings and text inside “.
The importing software is supposed to be able to handle anything in a string or 
text cell, provided it is inside the enclosing ".

Agreed - sometimes Excel does not follow the cvs rules properly when it 
exports. 
But what should we expect? It’s not like they’re a large company with multiple 
programmers at their disposal… bless their little cotton socks!

Re: Time Machine on Mac not detecting Data File Changes

[Charles Miller via 4D_Tech]

Just make sure to stop copying live data file and implemet journal. Back
ups of those is fine as long as time machne does not try and copy them when
you are creating them. One thing you could do is to back up to a folder
that time machone skips and upon completion move documents .4BK and .4BL to
a folder that time machine does backup you. If you do this you will ave to
manually handle how many backups are kept. Code for this is not that
difficult

RE: Time Machine on Mac not detecting Data File Changes

[Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech]

If you are not using the built-in 4D Backup System, then it will be near 
impossible to get a good backup of the 4D files. This is because the changes 
are made in memory and periodically flushed to disk (default interval of 20 
seconds). There is no mechanism between 4D and time Machine to enforce 
consistency of the files during that backup, therefore the files restored from 
time machine will usually be corrupt or invalid.

The only way to properly backup a 4D Database is to use the built-in 4D Backup 
System. This will create a 4BK file every time the backup runs. In addition to 
that, you should enable the journal file. The journal file will contain all of 
the changes since the last backup. If you still want to use Time Machine then 
you should configure it to back up the 4BK file and the possibly even the 
Journal file.

However, you mentioned the data file is listed as last modified 1 week ago; I 
would venture to guess that maybe you are looking at the wrong data file. You 
should probably double check the path to current data file in 4D to confirm you 
are even looking at the correct one, for example from the information page of 
the MSC: http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16R4/4D/16-R4/Information-page.300-3330288.en.html

Re: "Record to Object" or "Selection to Object"?

[Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech]

Bill,
Given that we now have a viable option for storing date/time values in a
single field (eg: string(date;ISO date;time)) why not just modify your
structure, create a new field and write both values to it. Even if you
decide to retain the discrete date & time fields this is not much overhead
and makes implementing anything with JSON a lot easier. Over time you may
eliminate the need for the old fields or not.

Personally I never used date/time fields for scheduling preferring a DTS
(date time string) field instead. This is essentially the ISO string
without the markup. I find the searching and sorting on a single field much
easier and it made transitions like this very east too.

As cool as a lot of the new 4D features are, and I do think they are both
cool and tremendously useful, a lot of those advantages can be lost
attempting to hammer old structures into a shape that allows you to use
them. A little judicious refactoring and structure changes can yield a lot
of benefit.

Re: Import from Excel

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

the problem I have found with csv is that different software creates different 
formats.
sometimes, everything is quoted, sometimes only certain values are quoted, and 
similar to the problem of a tab delimited text file, if the text contains a 
equation mark(s) everything gets screwed.

In my Txtutl component, 
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/wj3w55p3gvzp5h5/Txtutl_Component_v1.0.0.zip?dl=0) 
there is an option export records to text, and a corresponding import, 
where returns, line feeds, and tabs which maybe embedded in the data are 
replaced with the following actual characters:
, , and 
this eliminates the issue of embedded field or line markers.

There is another way, slightly more generic way to resolve the issue of 
embedded delimiter characters, replace the default delimiters!

I did a bit of google-fu, and came across these ideas for saving excel files as 
cdv with custom delimiters:
https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21456/export-or-save-excel-files-with-pipe-or-other-delimiters-instead-of-commas/
TLDR;
go to control panel/system preference change the 'List separator' character.
I imagine it would not be hard to write an applescript, or batch file or VBA 
script (embedded in the excel file(s)) to commands to do this change and then 
switch it back to default.

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/scriptcenter/en-US/e1a75bbc-82ab-4afb-a082-731dacb04a3e/export-to-csv-but-with-a-custom-delimiter?forum=ITCG
TLDR;
Run the script given in the thread

> OB Copy with pointers is effectively the "record to object" feature.

Ahh - that's useful. Now if only 4D supported pointers to methods. :)

Here's the specific issue: I have a record (many, actually heh) that has this 
sort of structure:
  [Appts]Title
  [Appts]Start_Date
  [Appts]Start_Time

I want to produce this sort of object:
  { title: "foo", start: '2018-02-12T08:30:00Z' }

Using "OB Copy"I can create a "template" object that will convert the 
pointer->[Appts]Title into the "title" attribute in the copied object. So far 
so good. But what's a clean method to convert the date & time fields in the 
record into a single field in the object? 

What I'm doing right now is manually processing the generated object via code 
that does OB SET and OB REMOVE. Not ideal, but it works. Obviously method 
pointers would be a perfect solution, but in the unfortunate absence of 
perfection is there another solution that I'm missing?



Thanks for your help.

Re: "Record to Object" or "Selection to Object"?

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

it's not often the case that you'd need all the fields represented in the 
object.
on top of that, sometimes the structure defined field names or even their order 
of appearance may not be ideal.
OB Copy with pointers is effectively the "record to object" feature.

http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15.5/OB-Copy.301-3576906.en.html

for a selection, you could call APPEND TO ARRAY and OB Copy inside APPLY TO 
SELECTION.

like you say, the JSON commands are not the right tool for this kind of task 
because there is no need to produce text.

Yeah - I'm currently doing: "Selection to JSON" and then "JSON PARSE ARRAY" but 
that's kindadumb. Also there's no "Record to JSON" or "Record to Object", 
so when I want to do that I've got to do a ONE RECORD SELECT which is also a 
hassle... hm.

[Christian Sakowski via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

have you looked at "Selection to JSON" and "JSON TO SELECTION"? But it will not 
cover all field types.

"Record to Object" or "Selection to Object"?

[Bill Hutten via 4D_Tech]

I admit I've not been keeping 100% up to date with the many language changes in 
4D v16 - so before I go write a bunch of test code (or worse, read the 
documentation) - do current versions of 4D have commands to convert from a 
record to an object, or selection to object array, and ideally vice-versa as 
well? Or do I still have to write these?


Thanks, apologies for the "please do my homework" question, etc.

Re: What's the easiest way to edit an existing constants file?

[Koen Van Hooreweghe via 4D_Tech]

Hi Dave,

Is there a reason why you cannot edit your existing constants file using the 
same 4D Pop component?

Kind regards,
Koen
