[off] Windows installer recommendation

I have been inveigled into making a Windows version of a Mac 4D application. I have no experience of Windows programming and very little of using it, but 4D seems to handle pretty much everything to make a working Windows application. I do need an installer, though: the people who will use it

Yes, you can set up colours for dark mode in the editor. Dark mode doesn’t affect the application windows, though. I expect they too can be faked, but these are things that an application which is configured to run under Mojave should do automatically when the appearance mode is changed. Maybe

I don’t think so, no: the form isn’t visible from the component. I have worked round this by having a method in the host, callable by the component, which opens a specified form (for my purposes, using DIALOG, but I can’t see why ADD RECORD shouldn’t be OK as well). It works. Jeremy > On 17
