Re: Win32API 8.2.2 Release

[Seth Leeper via 4D_Tech]

Orchard's Win32API releases are available here: 
https://github.com/OrchardSoftware/4D-Win32API/releases

If you would like to download the Orchard Utilities executable directly, it is 
available in the Win32API.bundle: 
https://github.com/OrchardSoftware/4D-Win32API/tree/master/Plugin/Win32API.bundle/Contents/Windows

Daniel, 

We have a ticket open internally for your request and will be able to address 
it as time permits. 
If you would like a public facing ticket, you can add your request to the 
issues page: https://github.com/OrchardSoftware/4D-Win32API/issues

We will be evaluating the latest 4D plugin SDK 
(https://github.com/4D/4D-Plugin-SDK), which has been incorporated into a 
future v8.2.3 branch (not the master branch) on our GitHub page. 
It is currently considered an unstable branch until we have had a chance to 
evaluate the SDK for the next release. Your request will follow the evaluation 
of the latest SDK.

Regards,
Seth Leeper
Orchard Software

Re: Sort Tables and Fields in QR editor

[Jim Medlen via 4D_Tech]

Sujit,

The 4D Method to look at is SET FIELD TITLES

  // ### jwm ### 20171205_1658

  // Alphabetically sort Field Names for 4D dialogs

vi2:=Get last table number

For (vi1;1;vi2)

ARRAY TEXT(atFieldNames;0)

ARRAY LONGINT(aiFieldNumbers;0)

GET FIELD TITLES(Table(vi1)->;atFieldNames;aiFieldNumbers)

SORT ARRAY(atFieldNames;aiFieldNumbers;>)

SET FIELD TITLES(Table(vi1)->;atFieldNames;aiFieldNumbers;*)

End for

Hi,

On my case, i have the slow character visualization when the method have 
some rows.


Not depend of the method's names but of the method length.

Hierarchical lists with 3 or more levels - how to get the name of each level if an element is selected and how to set the list to an element

[Paul Lovejoy via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

We’ve been using hierarchical lists with 2 levels for some time, particularly 
in drop down menus. There are 4D commands which allow us to get the name and 
position of the element selected as well as the parent’s name and position. We 
need to start using 3 or 4 levels and I’m not clear on how to get and set 
positions beyond 2 levels.

I’m not clear on how to get a grandparent’s name and position or a 
great-grandparent’s. Also, I’d like to have a way to preset a drop-down menu to 
a given selection based on, say, a variable or field value.

Does anyone have a good example of this?

Thanks in advance,


Paul

Re: European Data Protection Reglementation to take effect on May 25 - 4D compliance?

[Paul Lovejoy via 4D_Tech]

Hi Pat and Chip,

Thanks for your replies.

I’ve done a lot of reading up in the meantime. This looks like a big one for 
anyone who’s doing business in Europe. The security requirements are quite 
extensive. 

I don’t have time to get into all of it right now but apparently US companies, 
for example, are spending something like $7 billion to adapt their systems to 
become compliant. Big software packages like Oracle and SAP are compliant. 
Adding compliancy to custom solutions developed in 4D could be very, very 
costly. Fines can be as high as €20 million per case. It’s estimated that the 
European Union could impose around €7 billion in fines in the first year alone.


Scary.


Paul

Re: Win32API 8.2.2 Release

Alex,
The link in his email opened the github page for me. Orchard has
conveniently set up a 'Releases' page with links to download the plugin and
the docs.

Re: Win32API 8.2.2 Release

[Daniel N. Solenthaler via 4D_Tech]

Dear Seth,

thank you for this update to Win32API. As all of the community, who are using 
this useful plug in, we appreciate the work you are doing.

That said, I would like to know, where bugs should be reported.

The command gui_SetMDITransparent stopped working on Windows 10, Version 1709.

I tried to report that and sent an email to ‚supp...@orchardsoft.com‘, as well 
as to Jeffrey Kain, but I never got an answer.

Since you are continuously working on the plugin, I suppose you are interested 
in getting feedbacks and bug reports.

But where should we send it to?

Thanks,
Daniel

I am doing a session at the Conference in Paris which will demonstrate a REST 
implementation in 4D.  It will not be a component but an example database with 
methods showing how REST can be implemented in 4D with the built in web server.

For me, 0 is invalid in unicode. About 1, I have no idea, maybe "ignorable" 
that seems different from invalid:
  $char:=Char(0x00AD)  //hyphen visible only if end of line cuts the word in 2
  ASSERT(Length($char)=1)
  ASSERT($char="")

When strings come from my code I don't hesitate, 
  if ($myErrorText="")
but when it comes from input it's another story. User is evil, and copy/paste 
his prophet  :-) 

I'd like 4D to have a "strict" string comparison operator:
