pointer and array element issue

I have a method which resizes any number of arrays, regardless of type. In this method I want to clear the {0} elements of these arrays if the new size of the array is Zero [utl_array_Resize_Array]. In this method I am calling another method which converts text to an appropriate data type

Listbox Mysteries

Hello Everyone, (4Dv15r5, Windows) I have an array-type listbox that I've configured so that every cell is enterable (the 'Single Click Edit' property is ON). This has presented a few challenges: > If someone clicks in a cell, that cell gets focus, but if I want to move focus completely

RE: pointer and array element issue

Thanks I saw that solution... but since the method utl_text_Convert_From_Text does the same/similar thing I was trying not to duplicate functionality. I know I have used smiler syntax to ->($Current_Array->{0}) in other places but probably not with an array element On Fri, 6 Jan 2017

I remember there was a bug where if you upgrade from v11 straight to v13 unicode mode was deactivated yet the compatibility dialog told otherwise. > 2017/01/07 2:26、Kirk Brooks のメール： > ​Well, I'm not really sure what the deal is but I resolved it by running > MSC,

Re: Why does a converted v13 db limit text vars to 32k?

Hi Miyako, That may have been the issue. I wasn't part of the project at that time but it's possible. It would be consistent with the behaviour I observed. The good news is MSC/repair seems to fix it. On Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 4:29 PM, Keisuke Miyako wrote: > I remember

Re: Tip (?): Escaping escape characters

maybe it's better not to include the seed values as static text in the code itself. either an external plain text document, or structure resources such as lists, method comments, that is easily accessible from the code at runtime, but that doesn't impose some kind of escaping system (so XLIFF

Fast scrolling was v 14/Mac OS graphics issues

Sometime in around December 2016 the fast scrolling in a text field was fixed. I don’t know if it was changes in 4D v15.3 HF1 or if it was repairing fonts with font book. But now the scrolling is smooth as butter, not too fast and not too slow and I am able to read scrolling text using the
