Re: Using SVG for button graphics

Kirk: The way we did this was to have one picture object on the form for our button palette. When we built the button pallet we created the SVG on the fly and positioned the buttons where we wanted them to go. We did this because we controlled through security what buttons were available for

Hi Sujit, You can try using PHP EXECUTE but it may not have the required modules required by the script. http://livedoc.4d.com/4Dv15.4/help/Title/en/page2802.html You mentioned running the PHP script through Apache and running it from the browser, but then you also mention CRON. I assume that

I think your are right about that. A button is a numeric value. The button's picture is an [appendage?] that needs a source. Didn't someone come up with a way to "create" variables at runtime? Keith - CDI > On Aug 22, 2017, at 5:30 PM, Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> >

Re: Using SVG for button graphics

Keith, I'm trying to avoid using process vars, on one hand, and a separate var for the button image, on the other. Pushing the envelope for totally portable code on forms, I guess. The stuff I'm doing is very simple (things like plus signs, the small triangular arrows in round buttons, that sort

Thanks for your suggestion. Sorry, I should have stated my environment: 4D v16.1hf2 Mac OS X 10.11.6 The problem is I want to use a “memorized path” as documented in the Select document command, which states that if you pass a number instead of a path as the first parameter, then 4D will use

I have done this. I used Macros to run methods that would commit the text of the methods edited to a Git repo, there is an on save event. It's definitely not perfect but it helps my team track changes and look up potentially "ghost" changes in our codebase. Drew Waddell Development Team Lead

I am not in a position to look in detail, however, it is possible to specify a memorized path. This path is the 'default' path used when an open/save dialog is presented Then in the open/save dialog you can specify a specific file name > Does anybody know if there is a way to present a Save As

Rudi, Probably not for the faint-hearted! But I think it is not possible to access a 4D Write Pro object’s contents and you’re limited to the ST and WP commands. I did a quick test: C_OBJECT($wpObject) C_TEXT($jsonText) $wpObject:=WP New ST SET TEXT($wpObject;"Hello World!") TRACE
