Hello, I didn't recognize a solution for this in the docs. When the table and field are unknown until execution time, any suggestions on what the ORDA approach to this type of query would be? QUERY(pTable->;pField->=$aValue) Thanks - Keith - CDI

Re: Multi-Table Query Into JSON?

The "Movable form dialog box" type became available for "Open form window" at some point. It is also constant 5. A "Plain form window" with Cancel in the Deactivate event is user friendly, but will probably appear behind a floating window. Keith - CDI > On Mar 23, 2018, at 12:15 PM,

4D will interpret entries like 1.25p as 13:25:00, or 1.25 as 01:25:00 without requiring a filter. Keith - CDI > On Mar 12, 2018, at 8:07 AM, Randy Jaynes via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Does anyone know of a filter string or something that can be done so people > don’t have

So I build a quick sample app for a client and send a zipped copy. He writes back and says his Mac won't open it because it’s from an undignified developer Keith - CDI ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ:

Hello, A customer gets a "Form not found" error when trying to access a Table form on one of their PCs. All other PCs can view the form. No user logged into this one PC can view the form. It's a virtual Windows XP environment when accessing 4D. Does anyone remember where the temp folder for the

ImageCaptureCore - to Variable?

Hello, I'm experimenting with 4d-plugin-ica and it's working. Is it possible to avoid scanning to a disk file? I tried ICA SET SCAN OPTION ($scanner;Scanner transfer mode;String(Scanner transfer mode data)) and can see a BLOB is being built. Using BLOB TO PICTURE and BLOB TO VARIABLE (with a

Re: User Custom Forms

I used an inherited form in the user enterable form, so some changes could be made in the development environment without destroying the User's changes. Also, could OBJECT DUPLICATE be used during On Load to give a new object a name like "[Table1]Field1"? Keith - CDI > On Jan 23, 2018, at

Re: Anyone been using R5 for real work?

R5 has been very solid to the extent I've used it. I'm using dot notation and the new FORM object to get a floating window to communicate with instances of a subform containing a SVG picture. The FORM object is very convenient. I haven't tried to access tables. Keith - CDI > On Jan 19,

Tip: SVG internal error Trace

In case I am not the last one to know... When an internal SVG error message pops up on the screen, the Trace button is disabled in the dialog, but Trace is still available to display the offending line of code. You can use the option-command-click and select from the pop-up menu while the

Re: Slow characters visualization

Just to confirm, I have also seen the issue on my MacBook Pro since v15 was introduced. It was intermittent, and I have not experienced it for a while. Sometimes quitting 4D and restarting would help. Other times it would restart with the problem still present. I never saw a clear pattern

Re: Normalization question

Something that stood out in a recent thread about the definition of the Relational Model was a statement that said related fields should contain meaningful information. This was a surprise, especially since the use of UUIDs has been such a convenience. I took 'meaningful' to imply 'user
