Re: Can Lists be put in storage?

Sorry, I figured it out. You CAN store it into storage; I just failed to call: OBJECT SET LIST BY REFERENCE(*;”cbox_UnitTypes”;Storage.lists.list_UnitTypes) when I worked at converting my work to use Storage. --- > On Oct 8, 2018, at 11:30 PM, Chris Belanger wrote: > > I wanted to store some

Can Lists be put in storage?

2018-10-08 Thread Chris Belanger via 4D_Tech
I wanted to store some lists into storage. I make an entity selection, then create a LIST using a method ORDA_MakeList. The lists are made perfectly (outside of Storage). This works flawlessly: the resulting list_UnitTypes works correctly as a LIST.

Chip, Try this: I know v13 doesn’t have the Transparency constant, so not sure which version of 4D it comes into play, but this was part of one of the conversion routines I ran into a while ago when I had to do this: TRANSFORM PICTURE($Pict_G;Transparency;0x00FF) //convert the WHITE to

Kirk, There is an easier way. If you open a copy of your database in v17, and run MSC > Verify Application on it, it will point out all the bad form objects for you. The log file will show you entries like this in the sections where it is checking your project forms and table forms:

I'm preparing to move a large, established project from v15 to v17 and finally had to deal with the pictures. I've been putting this off at least partly because of just not wanting to deal with this. Turns out it's not that big a deal, at least for me. When I've just done the conversion to see

wscript.exe is one way to go. To learn how to write the particular script for MS Word on Windows, let it record a macro of what you want to do. You can pull the macro out into a text file and run it with wscript (with a few more commands to get Word started and point at the document). To record a
