Re: Problem with component

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

Hello,

I recall there was a terrible bug in v13 where a constants xlf file inside 
component resources would seriously mess things up for the host.

I think it is fixed now.

also, it might be worth checking the actual content of the file, that it is 
using UUID-based IDs, not integer enumerations for groups and trans-units, to 
avoid conflicts.

also, only constants with an ID < 15000 are supported by clairvoyance 
type-ahead, but such IDs are reserved for 4D.

duplicate file, and DOESN'T cause problems.

Re: Multi-Select Dropdown Menu

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

how about a listbox shown on a popup form window?

hierarchical list would also work, but the listbox offers more data source 
options.

I’d like to create a UI that supports selecting multiple values without the

With the exception of using a web area, is there anyway to do this in 4D?

4D interface with Sharepoint

[Luc Devar via 4D_Tech]

I need to create an interface with Sharepoint. Right now, I am managing all the 
documents within 4D but the client
would like to move this portion to Sharepoint.  I will need to push and 
retrieved documents basically. Nothing more than that.

Anyone has done something similar or maybe someone can point me to the right 
place to start investigating on how can this be done.

Re: Problem with component

[Doug Hall via 4D_Tech]

Thanks for the reply. I typically build the compiled component directly
into my parent DB's folder. I don't typically mess with the component, but
I thought I remembered being able to +K on a component method and
be SHOWN the method on the Browser Home screen. I knew I wouldn't be able
to edit the method, but at least I could easily switch over to the method's
description for documentation purposes. Am I imagining this? It's been a
while since I've been able to do this. I just kept trudging on, since it's
not a deal breaker.

Since you reminded me that I could, I decided to take the time to put the
uncompiled Foundation structure into my components folder, and traced
through my problem with the Alert2 command. For some odd reason, there was
this code:

*Case of*

*:* (*Count parameters*<2)

*:* (*$2*=0)  // Stop icon

*Fnd_Dlg_SetIcon* (3)

*:* (*$2*=1)  // Warn icon

*Fnd_Dlg_SetIcon* (2)

*:* (*$2*=2)  // Note icon

*Fnd_Dlg_SetIcon* (1)

*End case*

I didn't understand it, since the second parameter is a longint which made
more sense to pass directly to Fld_Dlg_SetIcon(). I modified it to do this,
and all is right with the world. By the way, if I remove the "Foundation
Constants.xlf" file from my parent DB's Resources folder, I can't access
the Foundation Constants while developing code. I'm hoping it's simply a
duplicate file, and DOESN'T cause problems.

Thanks for kicking my brain into gear!
