Creating Windows Taskbar Icons with 4D Version Numbers

Today I wanted to add 4D v17.0 and v17.0 HF1 to my Windows 10 taskbar. Sometimes I will have several versions of a 4D version in use and I like to have the 4D version number appear when I hover the mouse over the taskbar icon. That way I know which version I’m launching. So how do you do

I’m working on a project where we upgraded from 4D v16 R3 to v17.0 HF1 today. Development on this project uses 4D Server Team Developer over a WAN for most of the developers — I’m one of them. I’m using an iMac Pro and my internet connection is pretty good — cable modem with 150Mbps down and

Re: Anyone using FTP_Receive under 64-bit?

FTP_Receive used to show the progress of the download. That is no longer available, and I think throws an error if it's used. I think the cURL plugin shows the progress, or allows you to figure it out somehow. Keith - CDI > On Aug 15, 2018, at 4:10 PM, Allan Udy via 4D_Tech

[offish] Code to make your head hurt

$Handle is a pointer to an array of pointers. Each element of the pointer array points to an array. Please sort the arrays - in a component. Execute formula("Sort Array(($Handle->{1})->;($Handle->{2})->;($Handle->{3})->;>)") This works, in the context of a component when called from a host!

Anyone using FTP_Receive under 64-bit?

Hi all, I'm having a problem with Internet Commands FTP_Receive under 64-bit -- the command immediately returns a -2201 error and nothing is received (on Mac and Windows). Using 4D v16R6 32-bit, the code works fine and files can be received. Same code using v16R6 64-bit fails. The 64-bit
