A recent discovery for me was a quick way to open the explorer.

Put the insertion point in the method editor on an empty line and press
Ctrl-k.

Re: Favorite tricks and keystrokes: Please take one and leave on

2017-05-26 Thread Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech 
@

[t@1]f@1:=seq@n@
can result in:
[table_1]Field_1 := Sequence Number

it is amazing how short a line of code can be, before it is expanded 
- then you have to go back and ad the '\' to make it readable.  :)

You can use the @ to shortcut any tokenizable item. Commands, tables, fields, 
(your) method names. Any line of code as it is typed can include any number of 
@s, sometimes I have as many @s as other characters.

Favorite tricks and keystrokes: Please take one and leave on

2017-05-26 Thread David Adams via 4D_Tech 
In honor of National Take-a-Penny/Leave-a-Penny Day, I thought it would be
nice to start a thread to collect people's favorite 4D tricks and keystroke
combos. How this came up is that Wayne Stewart and I recently joined Damon
Carley in giving some presentations in Sydney and New Zealand. One of the
biggest crowed pleasers?

SELECTION TO ARRAY(\
  [Customer]ID;$customer_ids_at;\
  [Customer]LastName;$last_names_at)

The "\" line break/continuation character. It's been out there for about 10
years, but not everyone knows about it. It's great! It's great for array
sort, selection to array/array to selection, and a lot of OB SET kind of
stuff. Great!

Someone said "I'm sure that's in the docs somewhere, but how would you find
it?" Good point, I guess you just look for / ;-) Quite a few people started
sharing their favorite tips and it turns out that there are *tons* of them.

So, here's mine:

-
Code Line Break Character
-
You can break a single line of code into multiple lines to simplify reading
and editing using the / character.

So, if you found that useful or if it reminds you of one of your favorites,
please post another one. I'm sure no one knows all of the good ones but
everyone must know a few.

If anyone wants to post links to the docs, that's more than welcome. (Tim &
Miyako, we're looking at you because you've each spoiled us with good links
down the years),

https not working

2017-05-26 Thread David Ringsmuth via 4D_Tech 
4D Server v15.4
Windows Server 2016
Active4D

We just installed a new cert.pem from QualitySSL.

I’ve evaluated the cert.pem with my openSSL tools and verified its good, and 
the modulus matches the key.pem.

4D Server is showing 443 open, active, but is not responding to any requests.

I’ve given the cert/key.pem to Pascal, and am waiting for a response from him.

I need ideas please!

Thanks!

Restart Client Under Program Control

2017-05-26 Thread Benedict, Tom via 4D_Tech 
In v 13.x, when a client 'loses a connection' to 4D Server due to a network 
interruption of some sort, 4D.exe will display and dialog which includes a 
"Restart" button. When "Restart" is clicked 4D.exe relaunches and auto-logs in 
using the same credentials (or maybe it is just using the 4DLink file which I 
created?). Anyhow, what I'd like to do is call this 'feature' from 4D code to 
re-launch 4D.exe on demand.  Is this possible?

Thanks,

Tom Benedict

I was wondering about that unexpected behaviour when parsing a JSON-feed


Suppose the library 4D uses to parse JSON is less flexible, than the formatting 
of date/time as JSON-object is. Helped myself and cut the time out of the 
received text-representation.
