Re: Post Key command not working in converted 4Dv16 database

Koen & Steve, thanks for the tip, but in this case I am using POST KEY(Character code(".");Command key mask) and had the shortcut of Ctrl . assigned to a button. It only fails to work in this one converted database. I've converted another database to v16 for a different application and it works

Re: Post Key command not working in converted 4Dv16 database

Hi Ken, What particular shortcut are you using? Also check the case of the character you are using, as Stephen pointed out. In v14 I discovered a bug when running the command POST KEY(Character code("A");Command key mask). This was fine in v13 and earlier, but crashes v14, v15 and v16. My

Ken, Sure sounds like something is intercepting this keystroke combination. If you change the key combination assigned to the button, does the combination get intercepted? Did you put a trace bullet/command in the button script, just to see if it is getting into the button script? Can you

Re: San Fransisco Font

So you are implying that I should set all style sheets to the system font My thinking has been to use the “Default “ style sheet and explicitly set it to the prevailing system font on both platforms. However, the stylesheet editor has only one setting for macOS and some obsolete windows OS. I

Re: San Fransisco Font

In my experience, the Default style sheet doesn't work correctly. On El Capitan and Sierra, it uses the Yosemite system font no matter what. But if you make a new style sheet that refers to "System Font" you'll end up the correct font on each OS. Not sure why "Default" doesn't work properly...

Thanks for the insight. The system font on Mac Appears small (says size 10). Can the size be increased to 11? Will each user need to add a size to the font library? It seems to be working for me without adding one. But that does not mean it will work on all Macs. On Tue, Oct 10, 2017 at 8:23 AM,

on the use of system font: the only correct (that is, intended) way to use the system font in 4D is to use it indirectly with the automatic stylesheet feature. it is NOT recommended to use "system font" via the default stylesheet, or any stylesheet, except the automatic stylesheet, or change

Re: Query By Attribute vs Map NULL values to blank values

the "map null to blank" property was originally introduced in v11, as a way to tell SQL that pre-existing NULLs (which could typically be created by adding fields) should not be considered NULLs in SQL. otherwise, as far as SQL is concerned, NULLs should never be mapped to blanks. (that is why the
