Quick reports not printing to PDF and previewing on macOS with 4D 64-bit versions
Hello,
The following code works with v17R4 32-bit.
On v17R4 64-bit and v18 it does nothing
C_LONGINT($l_refArea)
C_TEXT($t_path)
// loading the report
$t_path:=System folder(Desktop)+“test.pdf”
QUERY([Alumnos];[Alumnos]Apellido_paterno=“a@”)
QUERY([xShell_Reports];[xShell_Reports]ReportName=“Estadísticas por sexo”)
$l_refArea:=QR New offscreen area
QR BLOB TO REPORT($l_refArea;[xShell_Reports]xReportData_)
QR SET REPORT TABLE($l_refArea;Table(->[Alumnos]))
SET PRINT OPTION(Destination option;3;$t_path)
If (Not(Version type ?? 64 bit version))
SET PRINT OPTION(Mac spool file format option;0) // not compatible with
64-bit versions
End if
SET PRINT OPTION(Spooler document name option;$t_path)
SET PRINT OPTION(Hide printing progress option;1)
SET CURRENT PRINTER(Generic PDF driver)
QR SET DESTINATION($l_refArea;qr printer;"*")
QR RUN($l_refArea)
QR DELETE OFFSCREEN AREA($l_refArea)
SET CURRENT PRINTER("")
Previewing doesn’t work either on 64-bit versions
QR SET DESTINATION($l_refArea;qr printer;"*")
SET PRINT PREVIEW(True)
QR RUN($l_refArea)
QR DELETE OFFSCREEN AREA($l_refArea)
SET PRINT PREVIEW(False)
I suppose I’m doing something wrong but I can figure it out…
Any clues?
Thanks in advance...
Alberto

Re: Programmatic control of reject new connections
Hi Charles, What I do is to set a semaphore on the server and clear it after the task is execute. On the On startup method for (if application type is 4D Remote) I test that semaphore. If the semaphore is set I notify the user and quit 4D. BTW, no user can connect to the server until On Server Startup method has been executed. So if you execute your code on methods called from On Server Startup (no new process) remote connections would not be possible.

OBJECT SET SUBFORM - Bug or standard behavior?
I couldn’t resist :-) I want to change dynamically the subforms displayed in a parent form and need to execute some code in the subform(s) after a call to OBJECT SET SUBFORM So, just after setting the subform I want I call EXECUTE METHOD IN SUBFORM. This doesn’t work (at least in v16R4 and v16R5): The reference to the subform is not updated immediatly after OBJECT SET SUBFORM so the method called by EXECUTE METHOD IN SUBFORM is executed in the wrong subform. This can be verified by calling OBJECT GET SUBFORM after OBJECT SET SUBFORM. The only workaround I found is: Add a button with a shortcut, call POST KEY every time you want to change the subform and execute a code like this from this button: OBJECT GET SUBFORM(*;”subformArea";$y_table;$t_subform) Case of : ($t_subform=“subform1") EXECUTE METHOD IN SUBFORM(“subformArea”;”methodSubform1”) : ($t_subform=“subform2") EXECUTE METHOD IN SUBFORM(“subformArea”;”methodSubform2”) End case Alberto. ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
[Warning] Settings properties values on object field by object notation
Hello, If the value of a property is modified using object notation directly over an object field the modified value is not stored on the record. This is reproducible in v16R4 and v16R5. READ WRITE([Table1]) GOTO RECORD([Table1];0) // [Table1]Object.value is False $b_value:=True [Table1]Object.value:=$b_value SAVE RECORD([Table1]) // [Table1]Object.value is True after Save Record UNLOAD RECORD([Table1]) GOTO RECORD([Table1];0) // after changing the current selection by reloading the record [Table1]Object.value is false I reported this to 4D via TAOW and the Forum. 4D answer was that is as standard behavior and they recommend me to assign the object field to itself after modification. You can also use OB SET or assign the object to a variable and work with it before reassign it to the object field.
