Combo Box Copy

2017-12-12 Thread John Baughman via 4D_Tech
I am trying to get the edit commands working in a dialog. To figure how best to do it I created a test form with a combo box and a text variable. Failing to get an Edit Menu working (see below), I put invisible buttons on the form for cut, copy, and paste with the respective standard actions

Hi I thought I had this understood, but aparrently not. Im Importing some numbers from a file as strings.The Numbers have a period as decimal point. Because they are long decimal numbers and I need to do some calculations I convert them to longints with NUM() everything works fine on a UK system

If this is always a long why is the striking .XX or ,XX It might be simpler but I would first doa substrinmg from 1 to position of either , or . and then a num on that. You will have to identify what system you are on and what localization is set to and then understand what localization

The imported file is always a string and the part I need is always a substring that looks like "123456.1234567890" The decimal separator is always a period The num function needs to work on systems that have either the period or the comma, as the native decimal separator thanks -pm On Tue, Dec

the second "separator" argument for Num() has existed and has been a "must use" feature since v11 for i18n. http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16.3/Num.301-3651255.en.html > 2017/12/13 8:13、Peter Mew via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> のメール: > The imported file is always a string and the part I need is

Pictures beside text in 4D Write Pro

in the blog post about tables… https://blog.4d.com/4d-write-pro-supports-tables/ The 4D Write Pro document in the video has 3 pictures in it with text blocks beside them. Can someone tell me how that was done? I only see the ability to insert pictures in line with the text or in background.

Just figured out how to get the Edit menu on the dialogue working. SET MENU BAR (“Edit”) in the on load phase does the trick. The inability to copy in a combo box remains a problem. Will wait a few minutes before calling tech support. John > On Dec 12, 2017, at 9:41 AM, John Baughman via
