Style Text variable to Pasteboard

[William Swann via 4D_Tech]

Hello all,

I have hit the wall. v14.6, Mac and Windows. I created a Style Text 
variable, populate it and can display the same with formatting integrity 
intact upon a page change. In between the page change I decided to take 
the variable and try and place it on the Clipboard/Pasteboard using the 
snippets below. The number is the WIndows number for RTF. I have tried 
the variant with 4D signatures. When the text gets to the Pasteboard, it 
shows the tags. When I copy the styled text display area using the menu, 
the pasteboard has the styled text. Using GET PASTEBOARD DATA TYPE 
returns 5 array elements, 4 really as one is blank.


C_BLOB($textBlob)
CLEAR PASTEBOARD

 //APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD("com.4d.private.text.native";$textBlob;*)
 //APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD("com.4d.private.text.utf16";$textBlob;*)
 //APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD("com.4d.private.text.html";$textBlob;*)

TEXT TO BLOB($ptrText->;$textBlob;UTF8 text without length)
APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD("49336";$textBlob)
SET BLOB SIZE($textBlob;0)


I guess it come down to telling Windows or the Mac what type of data I 
am placing there.It seems that there is where I am having the problem of 
architecting the correct data for the pasteboard. There are no graphics 
in the text, just bold facing and underlining. I want to put the 
formatted text on the pasteboard, so the user can immediately paste into 
Word or Outlook. Any thoughts would be appreciated.


Thanks!

Bill Swann

RE: v13(+?) - Components and host processes

[Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech]

According to the docs, Processes are in the Unshared category of objects:
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15.6/Interaction-between-components-and-host-databases.300-3836723.en.html#516546

What you can do is this;

1) create a method in the host database that returns the data you are looking 
for
2) set the method properties to 'shared between host and component'
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15.6/Interaction-between-components-and-host-databases.300-3836723.en.html#516569

Then your component can call this method and obtain the information from the 
context of the host.

v13(+?) - Components and host processes

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

can/does a component see the current state of a host process?

In a component, I have  a line of code in a for (count tasks) loop
PROCESS PROPERTIES($i;$Proc_Name;$Proc_State;$Proc_Time)

(context of the component) 
The processes name is correctly returned, but the process state 
returned is 0 (zero),

when I execute Process State($i) in the debugger (context of the host) 
it returns process state 2.

if a component can/does see the correct process state of a host 
process, any other ideas why I am getting 2 different states for the 
same process using 2 different commands? 
(btw - zero is incorrect)

Thanks
Chip

Hi

That’s actually normal for a 4D Web Server.  You’re not guaranteed to get a new 
process for each request.  Web processes can be reused.

I think there is a structure setting to control it when using 4D Remote as a 
web server, though I forget what it’s called. There is also a setting for 4D 
Web server to specify the minimum number of processes to keep around for web 
requests.

Either way, you can’t 100% rely on process variables, selections, sets etc to 
be clean at the start of a web process.

Hope that helps

RE: 4D Client as Web Server - Using same 4D Process if web access from diff. machines

[Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech]

When looking at the Web Server (Client) settings, are you using automatic 
session management?
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15.6/Web-Sessions-Management.300-3817755.en.html

Are you using the WEB CLOSE SESSION command?
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15.6/WEB-CLOSE-SESSION.301-3817719.en.html

Reminder, the Client Web Server has different settings than the Local (Server 
vs Desktop) Web Server.

4D Client as Web Server - Using same 4D Process if web access from diff. machines

[Randy Engle via 4D_Tech]

Humble request to any that have used 4D Client as the web server:
I'm getting "interesting" results when doing this.

If a user logs into my web app from machine "A", there are some process 
variables set such as:

User_ID, etc.

If someone on machine "B" accesses from the web
(No log in, just goes to the "home page")

Then, the e.g. User_ID variable is populated from the previous log in.

So 4D is using the same process for any access via web.

This is not a good thing!
Clearly, I'm being a meatball and doing something muy stupido, (or at least I 
hope that is the case.)

These all work as expected:
4D Server
4D Local Mode
4D Volume Desktop

Windows 10 - 4D 16r6

Any comments most welcome


Randy Engle

Sum Function will not add first in series

[mferguson--- via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

A customer reports about v15:

" when you Sum a field,  if there’s only 1 record,  the resulting value is 
returned as a 0 no matter if the field is <>0.”

Has anyone encountered this?

Thanks
