Re: Printing 4D Write to PDF via Windows 10 "Microsoft Print to PDF"

[Robert McKeever via 4D_Tech]

This is what I do:

SET CURRENT PRINTER(<>FormPrinter)`  where <>FormPrinter is "Microsoft 
Print to PDF"
SET PRINT OPTION(Destination option;2;$FileName)
SET PRINT OPTION(Orientation option;2)

Then, I just print. To print a patient chart, I open a print job, and print 
forms, images, PDF’s by page, 4D Write letters, then close the print job. All 
ends up in one PDF.

For 4D Write letters, 

$Area:=WR New offscreen area 
WR PICTURE TO AREA ($Area;[LettersSent]Letter_)
WR PRINT ($Area)
WR DELETE OFFSCREEN AREA ($Area)

Re: Replacing FootRunner in v16

[Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech]

This technique works great by the way. Add K @4D pointed this out to us last 
summer, and we implemented a secure, locked down way to do this in our compiled 
application; it has really saved us a few times!

 Hi All,

 Mac OS 12.6 4D 15.2 (have to stay with this version until client
 upgrades to v16/v17).

 In the last few days I’ve experienced a strange Debugger issue
 (corruption) that I cannot seem to fix. I think it happened after a crash.
 What is happening is that the top parts of the debugger screen, like the
 toolbar, are hidden above the top of the debugger screen. It’s like what
 used to happen when you tabbed to a variable offscreen and you couldn’t get
 back to the top of the screen but weirder.

 On the left side pane the Variables is the top and anything above that
 I do not have access to. I cannot get to the debugger buttons. I cannot
 abort into a method, etc. Expanding the window to full screen doesn’t help.
 Moving various splitters doesn’t help. Needless to say it makes debugging a
 near impossibility!

 I have tried throwing away the application preference folder:

 Library->Application Support -> 4D ... have it recreated but that
 didn’t help.

 I have even downloaded and installed a fresh copy of 4D 15.2. Still no
 help,

 Is there another set of files that controls the debugger screen display?

 I think this is a first in over 30 years!

 Thanks,
 John…

Re: Ref: Debugger window corruption

Understood.

The kb is handy but, for searching, try this in Google

site:https://kb.4d.com debugger



The full text search in the doc center is handy (upper right hand corner)
but this works pretty well:

I think so. The core structural fragment of the code is:

Ref: Debugger window corruption

[John J Foster via 4D_Tech]

Hey Doug,

I thought there’d be an KB step but couldn’t;t find it. I guess I used 
“Debugger issue” and “Debugger corruption” and I should’ve just used “Debugger”.

Anyway, it’s all good and logged for future reference if needed again.

Appreciate,
John…

Which version of my method are you running?  Is it the one from 2015 that works 
for V13 -> V16?

I searched and found the v15 method you mentioned. It was authored by Stephen

why.

Although I’ll respond in another email to what did work...

Thanks!

Just holding the Shift key down and run (click the green button) from any

Yeah!!!

Re: Debugger window corruption

[Douglas von Roeder via 4D_Tech]

John:

I saw this documented only recently so I thought it was for V17 but I just
checked it in 15.4 - Win server, Mac client.

Hold down the Shift key to reset the boundaries for the editor windows in
design mode.

In the case of the debugger, create an empty method (I have one called
“aTestDoug”) and type in “Trace”. Hold down the Shift key and click the
green “go” button to run the method. 4D will execute the Trace command and
will open the debugger in the default position.

For the Explorer, make sure that the Explorer is closed, hold down the
Shift key, and open the Explorer with the mouse.

Before I learned the Shift key trick, I had to resort to throwing out the
config file. From my “4D Text File Locations” document:


C:\Users\Doug\Application Data\4D\4D Window Bounds
v15\development\[projectForm]
Change "explo_preview"
Refer to Explorer.json file in 4D/14.5 (OS X)

Debugger Window Settings (and others)
c:\Users\dvonroeder\Application Data\4D\4D Preferences v13.4DPreferences

Re: Printing 4D Write to PDF via Windows 10 "Microsoft Print to PDF"

[Chuck Miller via 4D_Tech]

You don’t specify but what version of 4D.I think you may have rot use PDF 
center 1.2 to make this work.
I also don’t see in your code any new area command so perhaps that is the 
problem

RE: Debugger window corruption

[Dennis, Neil via 4D_Tech]

There was a debugger reset method that was posted a few years ago. I don't have 
the one for v15 but if you search you might be able to find it. I think it was 
written by Miyako.

This is the v17 version:

C_TEXT($tPath)

$tPath:=Get 4D folder(Active 4D Folder)+\
"4D Window Bounds v"+Substring(Application version;1;2)+Folder separator+\
"runtime"+Folder separator+\
"[projectForm]"+Folder separator+\
"4ddebugger.json"

If (Test path name($tPath)=Is a document)
ON ERR CALL("Blank")
DELETE DOCUMENT($tPath)
ON ERR CALL("")
End if

Debugger window corruption

[John J Foster via 4D_Tech]

Hi All,

Mac OS 12.6 4D 15.2 (have to stay with this version until client upgrades to 
v16/v17).

In the last few days I’ve experienced a strange Debugger issue (corruption) 
that I cannot seem to fix. I think it happened after a crash. What is happening 
is that the top parts of the debugger screen, like the toolbar, are hidden 
above the top of the debugger screen. It’s like what used to happen when you 
tabbed to a variable offscreen and you couldn’t get back to the top of the 
screen but weirder.

On the left side pane the Variables is the top and anything above that I do not 
have access to. I cannot get to the debugger buttons. I cannot abort into a 
method, etc. Expanding the window to full screen doesn’t help. Moving various 
splitters doesn’t help. Needless to say it makes debugging a near impossibility!

I have tried throwing away the application preference folder:

Library->Application Support -> 4D ... have it recreated but that didn’t help.

I have even downloaded and installed a fresh copy of 4D 15.2. Still no help,

Is there another set of files that controls the debugger screen display?

I think this is a first in over 30 years!

Thanks,
John…

Interestingly enough if those are removed the code does not print anything - no 
PDF file is created. They're used in a 4D TechNote example, but with 
PDFCreator, so I was not sure

Printing 4D Write to PDF via Windows 10 "Microsoft Print to PDF"

[Bill Hutten via 4D_Tech]

Hi all - Apologies in advance - if this has been discussed and I'm just missing 
it, please point me to the archives.

I need to print 4D Write docs (not 4D Write Pro), on Windows 10, to PDF, using 
the built-in "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer. This is the code I curently 
have, cobbled togeather from various sources:

SET CURRENT PRINTER("Microsoft Print to PDF")
SET PRINT OPTION(Spooler document name option;$fname)
SET PRINT OPTION(Destination option;2;$path)  
WR SET PRINT OPTION ($area;wr spooler document name option;$fname)
WR SET PRINT OPTION ($area;wr destination option;wr send to file;0;$path)
OPEN PRINTING JOB
WR PRINT ($area;0;1)
CLOSE PRINTING JOB

It works, in that a PDF is created, with the right $fname, at the right $path. 
It doesn't work, in that the PDF is 0 bytes in size.


Anyone have tested code that solves this problem?

RE: LEP that will quit Chrome?

A correction: At least in Windows Server 2008 *R2* Powershell is pre-installed.
So I think it is the same with Windows 7.

Re: Switching from FTP to Dropbox

[Randy Jaynes via 4D_Tech]

Tim,

I would think you could use their API with the HTTP Request command, and maybe 
some cURL calls for the actual file downloading.

The API looks similar to other REST APIs we’ve had to work with, so it _looks_ 
like it should work similarly.

Switching from FTP to Dropbox

[Tim Nevels via 4D_Tech]

I’m considering switching from using FTP to host update files to using my 
Dropbox account. I’m wondering if anyone has written some 4D code that allows 
uploading files to Dropbox and downloading files from Dropbox. 

I could get by uploading files to Dropbox via the macOS Finder integration 
option. For downloading a dropbox file, can you just use the 4D HTTP Request 
command?

Has somebody written a Dropbox Component?

RE: 4D Web Log Out

[Epperlein, Lutz (agendo) via 4D_Tech]

I'm not really understand your problem. What do you mean with "the browser 
still persists with the username and password"? Does it mean that you send 
these credentials with every request to the web server?

What we do is this:
If the browser makes a request without a cookie or with wrong cookie, the 
server sends a http 401 response and the user gets a login dialog, after 
checking the credentials on the server side the server sends a cookie. All 
subsequent requests will carry the cookie, the browser does this for you. And 
the server checks at every request if the cookie is valid.
If the user press the logout button the server sends a cookie as a response 
with a cookie expiration of 0 or an expiration date in the past.
The built in 4D sessions work the same way AFAIK.

Lutz

RE: LEP that will quit Chrome?

[Epperlein, Lutz (agendo) via 4D_Tech]

We use powershell.
In powershell you can do

Get-Process chrome

And if you want to kill the process:

Get-Process chrome | Stop-Process

Calling with LEP can do this way:

$vtxtBatchName:="powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -OutputFormat 
Text "+\
"-File \""+$PathToScript+"\""+$parameter
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($vtxtBatchName;$standard_input_x;$standard_output_x\
   ;$standard_error_x)

In this case you have to write a small script in beforehand.

Another way of calling powershell commands with LEP is using the standard input 
of the shell:

$command:="cd '"+Get 4D folder(Logs folder)+"'; $chdate = Get-Date "
$psScript:="powershell -NoProfile -Command -"
CONVERT FROM TEXT($command;"UTF-8";$standard_input_x)
LAUNCH EXTERNAL 
PROCESS($psScript;$standard_input_x;$standard_output_x;$standard_error_x)

Re: 4D Web Log Out

[Douglas Cryer via 4D_Tech]

Dani,

Re: Have you looked at the "WEB CLOSE SESSION” command?
   That is probably what you are looking for assuming you are using the 
built in 4D sessions.

Yes I have looked extensively at that command and I am using it.  The examples 
all deal with how you would use it with regards the "On Web Connection" method 
and handling storage of session data for future use.

The problem is that the browser still persists with the username and password 
so it is able to re-authenticate getting a new session and continuing as if the 
user was OK.  The only way we can currently think of is to make a call from the 
logout page with invalid credentials forcing a rejection and thus resetting any 
good credentials that are persisting on the client.

We plan to try this today but I feel this is wrong and I must be missing 
something.
