i think the question is how to make it run. first you check the checkbox, "Do not display warning when structure file is in read only". then you write some code to open a writeable data file and remember where it is. :) > On Jan 11, 2017, at 6:11 PM, Wayne Stewart

Hi, There is no way to do this. 4D writes into the application directory. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Regards, Wayne Wayne Stewart about.me/waynestewart On 12 January 2017 at 12:36, John DeSoi wrote: > Hi Piotr, > > >> On Jan 11, 2017, at 4:55 AM, Piotr

Re: JSON schema and some object format examples for thought/discussion

Re: JSON schema and some object format examples for thought/discussion

...and take the prior as a sketch. Still working out the best way to organize type descriptors in this case. I want to be able to figure out the raw JSON type, if it's an array, what type it goes into in 4D (most important for arrays), and if there is any kind of extra type magic ("abstract" type)

Re: JSON schema and some object format examples for thought/discussion

...in 4D code, something like this for defining the base object's basic components: // Object_RegisterRootObject OBRegister_RegisterObject (Object is RootObject;1;"Object_New";"Object_ToText") C_BOOLEAN($required) C_BOOLEAN($optional) $required:=True $optional:=False OBRegister_RegisterObject

Re: Combined Getter and Setter

I have published a component on Forum4D with that comment : This component emulates 4D standard commands for objects such as OB Set or OB Get to add access to properties or sub-objects by path with dot notation. It has been clearly inspired by OBJ_Module of Cannon Smith but differs by : - it

JSON schema and some object format examples for thought/discussion

I've been in a couple of threads recently regarding 4D's object and JSON commands. For background, I use JSON extensively outside of 4D and quite a bit in 4D. Until now, I've used the NTK 2.x JSON commands or rolled some simple things by hand with templates and PROCESS 4D TAGS. I've been trying to

Re: OB commands, confirming a few points

Hey Kirk, thanks for the post. I'm absolutely _not_ coming to JSON with a 4D perspective. Quite the opposite. JSON is great for many, many things. I'm just used to have tons of options for parsing it and converting it. You get that in , usually with multiple options. It's just weird that 4D

Re: [off] battery backup and missing files

A power failure along with a battery failure *could* result in file corruption, NOT deletion. Deletion requires: - an automated system (anti-virus for example) to explicitly delta the file - a user explicitly deleting the file - reinstallation of the OS - system recovery (maybe) I would not

[off] battery backup and missing files

Hi All, I have a customer that has an APC backup attached to server (Windows). The company hat provides support is stating that due to a power failure the 4D application EXE file was deleted. I think this is smoke and mirrors and that something else is going on. Anyone ever hear of power

An issue that I am aware of is that on Sierra when copying and pasting into a form field it looks as if there is an additional space after the highlighted text which is not there. Another way to describe it is that the curser is not positioned immediately after the text and floats the distance

Hi Ferdinando, An other way to look at it: store the local machine IP in your data upon startup of the client. And eventually the disconnect when quitting. The advantage is you can have a history of which client connected from which IP. HTH Koen Op 11-jan.-2017, om 07:48 heeft stardata.info
