Hot 4D developer available
Hi everyone, I'm a highly skilled 4D developer who loves working in 4D since the v2.2 days. Client/server, but not web. I'm available for contracts virtually immediately. I have a proven track record working remotely on even multi-year projects. I look forward to my next 4D engagement.

RE: v17 PDF-Manuals
For fans of PDF user manuals, and having to wade through large documents (like the 4D Language Guide), I've enjoyed using (free) PDF-XChange Editor (https://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor). Their PDF reader is free, and it's super-fast. The first search you do build internal indexes. As long as you keep the document open, subsequent searches are even faster. It's way faster compared to Acrobat reader, even on unindexed PDFs. -Steve Makohin Water's Edge Software ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
RE: Who’s the Gestapo?
I post to this list from Outlook. I have no idea why, by my original post doesn't *seem* to appear in the list. In other words, I don't get an email from the list showing my original post. Curious. I can't explain it. (Not a problem for me) This *might* give someone the impression that they're being censored, or that there's a technical problem that prevents their posts from showing up on the list. However, I do get replies from the list, indicating my original post did make it to the list, even though I didn't see it. -Steve Makohin Water's Edge Software ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **

How to change title on 4D's main (MDI) window?
How to you set the window title on 4D's main (MDI) window? It currently reads "4D". I'd like to permanently set it to an alternate string, which never changes, and is known before the app launches (e.g., "Steve's Custom App"). I'm looking for a solution that does not require plug-ins. Thanks in advance. -Steve Makohin www.WatersEdgeSoftware.com ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
RE: Character limit in form text variables?
Jeffrey Kain wrote " There seems to be about a 383K character limit in text variables on a form. I have a text document that's about 670K characters (670,092 characters to be exact) and when I try to paste it into a 4D form (v15.4/Mac/Unicode) it truncates at exactly 383,046 characters..." V14.5 Windows has a similar problem. Import a ton of text into the database, but <200,000 characters show up in the text-edit field for viewing and editing. There's LOTS of free memory, do that's not the problem. Realize that what the editing field displays and what ends up stored in the database *might* be different. The displayed editing field truncates the text in my tests. Furthermore, even with truncated text shown in the text-editing field, I can programmatically access and change the full text. I have not run any tests to determine what happens if I manually change the truncated text in the text-editing field. I don't know if that change then causes the truncated text to be saved to the database. -Steve Makohin ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **

RE: How do you populate an Excel spreadsheet using 4D?
Hi Andrea, Thank you for your reply. You describe what I've been doing as my "rolled my own" solution. I was wondering if someone else had come to a simpler or more elegant solution. -Steve -Original Message- From: 4D_Tech [mailto:4d_tech-boun...@lists.4d.com] On Behalf Of Andrea Angeli Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2016 11:52 AM To: 4D iNug Technical Subject: Re: How do you populate an Excel spreadsheet using 4D? Hallo Steve, I used 4D HTML Tag using xlsx file or old excel xml file and it work fine. You can build your own graphic in an excel document, save it in xml. Open the file withe a text editor like text wrangler replace the cell values with 4D HTML TAG. You can 4DTEXT and the powerful 4DLOOP if you have table with array and 4DIF for any condition you have. Write your method open your template file fill all your variables and arrays that are in the file then use the command “PROCESS 4D TAGS”, save all in the new document and that’s it! I used also a method that write the file directly in xlsx, but it is more complex because you have to know all the xml structure and attribute values.

How do you create an Entity Relationship diagram using 4D?
Does anyone know of any package solution that lets you create an Entity Relationship diagram using 4D, under 4D's control? I've provided an example of what I'm looking for at this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8nins0cfk40bww0/Entity_Relationship_Diagram.jpg?dl =0 Ideally, 4D would call the solution and provide the data describing the Entities and their relationships. The solution would generate the diagram. I need to display the diagram on the screen and be able to print it. I'll be coding in 4D v14. I know I can "roll my own" using 4D's SVG, but I'm hoping not to reinvent the wheel, if at all possible. -Steve ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
How do you populate an Excel spreadsheet using 4D?
Does anyone know how to populate a formatted Excel spreadsheet using 4D, and do so under 4D's control? My preferred method is to have 4D replace "tags" in the spreadsheet with its own values. I'd also prefer if someone already has the code to do this. I'll be coding in v14. I've written a sophisticated Excel spreadsheet generator for another client, but I'm wondering if there's an easier, simple way to go about this when the spreadsheet is of a known, fixed format. -Steve ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
