Mac Mojave and v17?

Hi, Anyone have any experience with this? I just picked up one of the new 6 core Mac Minis with 32GB of RAM. Just wondering if anyone is aware of any gotcha's or issues. I'll be running 64bit v17 apps and one v17 32bit app. dave -- David Nasralla Clean Air Engineering

Re: Mac Mojave and v17?

4D (v17 and all the way back to v13.5) is having some issues with an internal MacOS drawing routine that is causing funkiness in: 1) ALP plugin drawing vertical text, the separator lines get a little “squiggle” to them 2) ALP drawing checkboxes in a boolean column 3)

Making a selection

Hi My Prevoius post wasnt very clear. Im asking that the user can select an object or objects, by clicking on an object, say a rectangle, and draging it to change its size, for example. or the user can add multiple objects, by surrounding them with a box, to an array of object names. thanks -pm

Re: Making a Selection

Peter, No. For something like that I'd think about adding some sort of indicator button next to object of interest. The user could click the ones selected and some other action, perhaps another button but could be something else, would trigger the code to loop through these objects and build the

Re: Making a selection

Peter, That's doable. I haven't played with form objects at that level for some time. I'd use a picture for the background or boundary object. The On Mouse Down event let's you trap a click on the picture. You could also trap the On Mouse Up event to get the delta between where the click started

depending on what your form method looks like, it does not hurt (much) to simply turn everything on. Chip On Fri, 9 Nov 2018 09:24:16 -0500, Sandor Szatmari via 4D_Tech wrote: > OK, so it looks like there's some strange bug I ran into. For some > reason most of the events for my forms got

Re: Forms Stop Receiving Certain Events

Krik, I just checked, and On Clicked and buttons does work regardless of form event, but I think this depends on the event. I know some events, like On Timer, On Before/after Keystroke will not work if the form event is not checked at the form level. Chip On Fri, 9 Nov 2018 06:57:15 -0800,

I’m glad to learn that. However, the way our backups are configured I only see 4BL (the log) and and 4BK (the data) files. Looks like I need to learn more about the backup configuration process. What is the recommended way to configure backups so that I would have access to these individual

Re: 4D Authentication Strategy...

I always use both, 4d user and user tables to add info about the user. 4D user has a uniq id, so its easy to add records about any user. When updating versions on the server, i just sends the 4D users to a list that can be stored outside or in the dbase and replace them after startup of server.

Re: Forms Stop Receiving Certain Events

the configuration is pretty simple. Open the database, go to: Database settings : Backup : Configure turn on the check box(es) you want to be backed up and add any additional file(s) you want set your destination, and schedule. the .4BK file obtains whatever is supposed to be backed up. The 4BL

Re: Listbox multiple select

never tried to implement this... you would probably have to : use On Mouse down, and on mouse up, to get the coords of the dragged over area. then estimate/calculate how many lines were to be selected based on row height. Then use the listbox command to highlight those rows. I might note that

Re: Making a selection

Nothing built in, but one option is to put an invisible rectangle on a form, and make it visible and act like a selection rectangle when the mouse goes down. Another is to overlay (or underlay) a form sized picture on the form and use SVG to produce the selection rectangle. SVG is nice in

Re: Forms Stop Receiving Certain Events

OK, so it looks like there's some strange bug I ran into.  For some reason most of the events for my forms got disabled at the form level.  So, even though they were checked off at the element level the form was not registered for those events anymore.  I am going to have to go through all the

this is not correct. The structure (.4DB) is a separate entity from the data (.4DD) Other then having added tables and/or fields, rolling back the structure to a previous one (say yesterday) is simple and is not a significant issue. If you have added fields and/or tables then there can be

Click on one line/row. Then (platform dependent) - Shift click on the end of the selection you desire for a contiguous selection - Command (Mac), or Control (windows) click on discontiguous rows. Note: Option/Alt click on a previously selected row and drag to move/drag multiple rows from a

To clarify, I want to have the same behaviour as most lists have, click, drag the mouse pointer down and select the rows as you go past them. The same result as Shift and Click but by dragging.  ThanksΣτις Παρασκευή, 9 Νοεμβρίου 2018, 10:10:02 π.μ. GMT-5, ο χρήστης Chip Scheide

Re: Semaphores and Server-Side Data Updates in Multi-User Environment

my outline for this would be as follows. I am not up to v16 yet, so this will be a 'classic' solution, use of call worker might simplify this. write a deamon (a process which spends most of it's life asleep), is started at server startup. Deamon : repeat loop examine IP array, or
