Re: 4D v17 and catalina

several possibilities: - the disk is HDD or fusion disk: 4D is made of hundreds of files, so it is much slower to start with a cold cache - the application or its components are not code-signed or the signature is invalid the app is duplicated and sandboxed each time 2019/12/31 5:32、Chuck Mille

Re: Export from 4D 6.8, Import to 4D 17.3

as a general observation: us-ascii denotes that you only accept bytes in the range 0x00 to 0x7F. everything else you ignore. diacritical characters are always above that range, whatever the encoding. diacritical characters are encoded differently, ISO-8859-1 vs ISO-8859-15 (especially the euro c

Re: ListBox flickering on Windows

I think the first step necessary here is to isolate the problem, using a brand new listbox on a plain window. if there is no flickering there, it might be a combination of factors, such as window type, cascaded background objects, page number, etc. > 2019/12/19 8:48、Pat Bensky via 4D_Tech <4d_tec

Re: 4D v17 To QuickBooks Using Miyako's QBO.4DB

the component is an OAuth example. it simply illustrates how to manage an OAuth session for QB. everything else is generic XML/HTTP, not specific to OAuth, so none of it is implement in the component. QuickBooks is not used in my country, I have no customers using it. > 2019/12/14 4:47、Ken Eyri

that “something” would be, code signing and notarisation. to illustrate, I’ve uploaded a notarised version of “Miyako's Media Access Control.bundle, but it doesn't look like it works with v17" here: https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-media-access-control/releases/tag/2.0 it should pass Gate

Re: Automatic Excel to Text-tab delimited?

I agree that Plugger’s XL Plugin would be the best choice for processing XLSX files. https://www.pluggers.nl/product/xl-plugin/ 4D View Pro Area is a form object, meaning you would have to open a form and run asynchronous, callback-based coding to do the conversion. https://blog.4d.com/work-wi

Re: Create SQL DB ERD from 4D Export Structure XML File?

Re: Subform get record info when click on row

Hello, I don’t have an answer off the top of my head, But I suppose you could try a couple of things: - call LOAD RECORD assuming that the current records is the clicked record, just not loaded I wouldn’t normally count on the clicked event and the clicked record to get the current record though

Re: Dot notation in entry forms

The short answer is no; A pointer can only point to a variable, array, array element, table or field. An object property is none of the above, so it can not be referenced by a pointer. In general, If you are going to make extensive use of OBJECT Get pointer, you should not use the Form object.
