Self-modifying AI code running interpreted is better than dumb code running compiled. Besides, I rarely write code anymore, my AI program does it for me (when it’s not driving my car). > Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2018 10:50:02 -0700 > From: Kirk Brooks > > Richard, > Well you couldn't do that compiled

Re: Macro question - using project methods in a macro

You can store the code in the data file !!! use an object field to store any related information (context etc) and then pray that nothing it depends on has a name change (like a field or table) :) On Fri, 6 Jul 2018 10:50:02 -0700, Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech wrote: > Richard, > Well you

Re: Macro question - using project methods in a macro

Richard, Well you couldn't do that compiled in any event. What you could do is write code that runs scripts external to the compiled structure using Process Tags. On Fri, Jul 6, 2018 at 9:47 AM Richard Wright via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Yeah, but how am I supposed to implement

Yeah, but how am I supposed to implement AI in 4D without self-modifying code? ;-) > Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2018 01:08:17 + > From: Keisuke Miyako > > there is no need to use the clipboard. > > I don't which example you saw, but I have always used SET MACRO PARAMETER > since v11 (Macros v2).

Re: Macro question - using project methods in a macro

there is no need to use the clipboard. I don't which example you saw, but I have always used SET MACRO PARAMETER since v11 (Macros v2). One piece of advise is to protect the method called from macro by doing something like Macro_MyMethod(;) C_TEXT($1;$2) $methodName:=$1 $methodPath:=$2 If

Re: Macro question - using project methods in a macro

Kirk, Download the 4D Pop source code and look at the macros component for some examples. Regards, Wayne On 6 July 2018 at 10:47, John DeSoi via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Kirk, > > I think you are looking for GET MACRO PARAMETER and SET MACRO PARAMETER. In > the method called

Re: Macro question - using project methods in a macro

Kirk, I think you are looking for GET MACRO PARAMETER and SET MACRO PARAMETER. In the method called by your macro, that allows you to get/set the selection or the entire method. John DeSoi, Ph.D. > On Jul 5, 2018, at 5:08 PM, Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > I

Macro question - using project methods in a macro

Hi folks, I haven't tinkered with my macros in quite a while. Today I was trying to write a project method that returns some text. The idea being to run the method from a macro and plug the result directly into the method being edited. Here's the what I was working with: resdoc_macro() Is this
