Re: Horizontal Sizing Move

Thanks for taking time to reply. In my case, the button is the only item in the header. The output form itself was just created in the Wizard. During editing I remove all the button in the header except for my cancel button which I place in the upper right of the header. Basically, that button

Enterable Variables in Output Form headers

Mac 4D V16 R2 From the Design Reference on the subject of Output Forms I can find the following: " The header and/or footer of the form may contain buttons, pop-up menus, etc." " You can customize output forms by adding variables in the Header or Footer area." I do not see an exampl

Re: Website development path

Joshua, I read a post you made in January (below). I am currently building out a REST interface for a system. I am finding writing the REST calls fun and challenging but the 4D language has a lot of stuff that helps. What I am not having much fun with is the documentation. I know what I wan
