AreaList Pro version 11 released

2022-01-03 Thread Philippe Ganter via 4D_Tech

AreaList Pro version 11 is now available!
https://www.e-node.net/alp

*** Major v11 new features ***

Sub-ALP is the most fantastic new feature, that you won't find anywhere else. A 
column displays cells that really are AreaList Pro areas with their own 
formatting, like invoices for a customer, invoice lines for an invoice, etc.

Collections are now supported for data source.

Entity Selections: now you can integrate 4D's ORDA functionality into AreaList 
Pro! Use an Entity Selection in your AreaList Pro area.

PrintList Pro is now included as a license option: only one plugin instead of 
two (no change of PrintList Pro code needed).

Standalone Printing: in addition to PrintList Pro or SuperReport Pro printing 
of an AreaList Pro area, a single new command just prints the area with all 
formatting.

Export to Excel (XLS or XLSX) including formatting, with or without header, 
selected rows or whole area, and many more options (including Sub-ALP).

Offscreen AreaList Pro areas: build an area and Print it or export to Excel 
without displaying it on screen, with a single command.

Apple Silicon (M1) support.

By popular demand, the return of the PDF Manual 
(https://www.e-node.net/en/ftp/AreaListPro/AreaListPro_Manual.pdf), fully 
updated, including PrintList Pro and detailed explanations of v11 new features.

See the Sub-ALP at work: https://www.e-node.net/images_base/Img_62.png

Re: SuperReport printer choice not respected by Windows 10

2021-06-11 Thread Philippe Ganter via 4D_Tech

Peter,

>> From: Peter Adam via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com>
>> 
>> I am finding that the choice of printer that I specify in my superReports is

>> 
>> I am looking for a way around this.

>> I am using 4D v17R6 and SuperReports 4.2.1

If you are using the "new" API i.e. SR_Print@: simply add 
SRP_Print_NoDefaultPrinter to the destination flags ($3).


>> From: Wayne Stewart via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com>

>> 
>> https://doc.4d.com/4Dv18/4D/18.4/SET-CURRENT-PRINTER.301-5233936.en.html

SET CURRENT PRINTER is not relevant when you want to use what is stored in the 
report template.

But using PRINT SETTINGS means: add SRP_Print_4DPageSetup | 
SRP_Print_4DJobSetup to the destination flags.


>> From: Spencer Hinsdale via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com>
>> 
>> This is done with SR SetPrinter

You can specify the printer with the SR_Print@ command in $6 directly.


>> From: Peter Adam via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com>
>> 
>> Thanks Spencer but that is an obsolete command to be removed. There does not

It is obsolete (uses a global variable to store the printer name and 
destination file name/options), but still usable.

When using newer commands (destination options directly in parameters), there 
is no reason to use this old command.

Re: ListBoxes and AreaList Pro again

2020-06-17 Thread Philippe Ganter via 4D_Tech

The bottom line is there are three categories of AreaList Pro users:

1. Those who use it for basic needs and only know the old v6-v8 features, that 
are now mostly available in listboxes as you mentioned.
2. Publishers running large applications with a wide installed base, including 
AreaList Pro areas all over the place.
3. Power users who follow closely all new features and ask for more.

Of course there are intersections between these 3 sets.

Now regarding the evolution:

- Category 1 sometimes want to save a few hundred and spend time replacing 
their code, giving up advanced features and yes, benefiting from 4D's API in 
return. Others don't need 4D's recent programming tools and just want their 
code to work with all recent OS and 4D versions.
It is true, however, that we have returning customers who went through the 
listbox option but miss the rest (see below). And quite surprisingly a few 
"new" developers that we never heard of before.

- Category 2 are our core market and don't mind paying annual "OEM" licenses 
for a product that is well maintained and fully compatible with their "old" 
code. They can add advanced features from time to time.
They often use other professional tools such as SuperReport Pro or CalendarSet, 
which interact nicely with AreaList Pro. A specific Unlimited license is 
available for this need, including all professional tools.
The e-Node Partner license includes them as well on a smaller deployment basis. 
Their subscribers are often "small" publishers who follow the same logic.

- Category 3 give us a lot of work, but we like them too :-)
They help us make AreaList Pro (and other professional tools) a very advanced 
programming environment with dozens of features that you will find nowhere in 
4D's native API. Check out 
https://alp-docs.e-node.net/doku.php?id=arealist_pro_v10_new_features just for 
v10 stuff.

And yes, AreaList Pro version 11 supports entity selections and collections.

On the other hand, we don't have many requests regarding how developers want 
them to be used in AreaList Pro, based on our thread at 
https://forums.e-node.net/viewtopic.php?f=10=879 even though read by 113 
developers as of today, so it doesn't look like a major need (for AreaList Pro 
users) but we have our own ideas… And again, no listbox will offer many of 
these AreaList Pro v11 features as we are designing them.

Best regards,

ListBoxes and AreaList Pro again (was: Object notation replacement for use of Self in a script — v18)

2020-05-04 Thread Philippe Ganter via 4D_Tech

It would be too bad (and very time consuming) to get rid of all your hard work 
instead of just following AreaList Pro's evolution.

The main ListBox features are basically AreaList Pro v6-7, IOW they (almost) do 
what AreaList Pro did 20 years ago.

4 versions (and many years) later there is still no comparison between the 
basic ListBoxes and the numerous features added by AreaList Pro v9 and v10. To 
name a few: breaks, sub-totals/calculations, transposition, displaying mySQL 
data, complete granularity up to cell level, event callbacks, area templates 
(global default settings), multiple header rows, zoom, etc.

And the property-based syntax since version 9 makes it very easy to program.

Now the recent features of ListBoxes regarding object support are not yet 
available in AreaList Pro, just because we have the same level of information 
as everyone else here, so it take time to catch up. OTOH it provides the 
distance to think twice about how it should be done, and collect requests from 
informed developers.

BTW these features often (and increasingly will) require a 4D View pro license, 
much more expensive than AreaList Pro.

And yes, version 11 will support entity selections and collections. Beta 
program just started (see my next post).

Re: AreaList Pro Column Background Color

2019-05-13 Thread Philippe Ganter via 4D_Tech

In addition to Douglas and Armin's replies:

There are seven ways to set colors in AreaList Pro, using numbers or strings. 
See the v9 manual on page 123:
http://www.e-node.net/ftp/AreaListPro/9.9.5_Previous_version/AreaListPro_Manual.pdf

And, as Douglas mentioned, the alpha channel (transparency) is fully supported…

Tim: you could also give a try to CalendarSet (www.e-node.net/cs), which does 
this automatically (and supports drag and drop from/to AreaList Pro).

Re: Replacement Code for very old DisplayList plugin

2019-01-07 Thread Philippe Ganter via 4D_Tech

And the AreaList Pro license is 90€, which roughly amounts to the same… and 
includes hundreds of other features.

Column autoresize

2019-01-02 Thread Philippe Ganter via 4D_Tech

A tech note is now available on the 4D professional tools forum:
http://forums.e-node.net/viewtopic.php?f=10=729

It describes the new AreaList Pro v10.1 feature to autoresize all (or selected) 
columns.

Like the hundred other features available in AreaList Pro and not in Listbox, 
this property allows HTML-like resizing (proportional resizing of marked 
columns).

Of course, the basic Listbox "shrink to fit" feature is also available with 
this ALP_Area_AutoresizeAllColumns property.

Re: Using a Web Area as a Data Entry Area

For example formatting at cell level is available in AreaList Pro v10 
(ALP_Cell_Format property).

This way you don’t have to convert your numeric arrays to text.

Re: Using a Web Area as a Data Entry Area

2018-03-17 Thread Philippe Ganter via 4D_Tech

Re: Why would you want to do that?

IMHO you don’t really need a web area for this need.

Your description perfectly fits listbox arrays for basic features, or AreaList 
Pro if you want a more advanced tool, yet easier to use.

It all depends on the granularity that you wish, and if you need any of the 
other numerous features that are available in AreaList Pro, but not in listbox.

Re: PrintList Pro v6 - Build a MySQL reporting tool in 4D, access AreaList Pro properties and more

2017-06-13 Thread Philippe Ganter via 4D_Tech

Thank you Tim for this detailed information.

In addition, to clear up the status on our side, our agreement with 4D 
engineering specifies that we only certify our professional tools compatibility 
with 4D's “release" channel, as opposed to the “R" channel or beta versions.

Hotfixes and Nightly builds can be required, but only for our own beta 
versions. For example AreaList Pro v10 b8 requires 4D v16.1 Hotfix 1 (build 
212241).

This is what I was referring to in my previous reply.

Of course we’re only talking about single user/client here. Our professional 
tools are compatible with 4D Server 64-bit in their current versions.

In other words we will only be able to finalize our own releases when the 
64-bit release channel will be around the corner for both platforms. We have a 
constant communication with 4D’s engineering and QA towards this goal.

Best regards,

Re: PrintList Pro v6 - Build a MySQL reporting tool in 4D, access AreaList Pro properties and more

2017-06-13 Thread Philippe Ganter via 4D_Tech

Tilman,

All our professional tools are in the process of upgrading to new major 
versions.

As with major breakthroughs such as direct MySQL access from PrintList Pro, or 
the use of all AreaList Properties (and features) directly from PLP, we focus 
mainly on new features, rather than 64-bit compatibility. It will make sense 
anyway only when 4D itself will be available in this mode on both platforms 
public releases, which is currently not the case.

Also, we are waiting for 4D to fix a few 64-bit related bugs on their side 
before we can offer this compatibility on all our product line.

Best regards,
