RE: 4D v18.0 LTS - Form Wizard Missing

To add onto that. Project mode does have a "shortcut" way to add fields and

RE: Bar code

[Tai Bui via 4D_Tech]

Hi All,

Just another tip:
It might be a little overkill in some cases, but 4D View Pro has built-in 
formulas to convert a value to a barcode and qr codes.

The formulas start with "=BC_CO..." for most of the bar codes and 
"=BC_QRCODE()" for the qrcode.

More information on the 11 types:
https://www.grapecity.com/demos/spread/JS/TutorialSample/Features/BarCode/basicBarCode/purejs

v13 there was an option to change all method properties using a portion of a

in v15 it appears that this functionality is missing

any help in doing group method property setting changes?

Hi,

The VP Area is only available as a form object at the moment.

If you mean how do you do this as an offscreen area you would probably have to 
build yourself a form that opens hidden from view and process your excel file 
in the VP Area then close the form when complete.

RE: Making sense of a crash report

[Tai Bui via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

The crash states an important item in Notes
"Translocated Process"

This means the application was translocated (moved) and is being run from a 
real-only location.
Apple has been becoming more strict in how applications are distributing it and 
this appears on Macs due to distribution of applications without properly 
signing it.
https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/app-translocation.html

So, did you properly sign the application and then distribute it in the form 
factor of a signed DMG?

If you didn't, it could explain why the application works on your machine (the 
builder/owner) and not on another machine.

There are some tech tips regarding the signing process on KB:
https://kb.4d.com/assetid=78153
https://kb.4d.com/assetid=77853
https://kb.4d.com/assetid=77078

Hope this helps.

RE: Command Symbol as part of Title of Button

[Tai Bui via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

Hmm, not sure if it's just my machines or possibly caused by the emoji & symbol 
editor. But copying and pasting the character as a text character and not as an 
emoji/symbol allows me to paste the command symbol into the properties list 
Title section, the form editor and running the form seem to display the text 
properly.

You can use
SET TEXT TO PASTEBOARD(Char(8984))
which generates the following character when pasting, ⌘

Also where is the file located? Maybe you can try a simple new file on the

RE: SVG - Simple Example

[Tai Bui via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

A command that I find very useful is the SVGTool_SHOW_IN_VIEWER command.
You pass the SVG document to it and it will display it in a new window which 
also allows you to toggle to it's XML source.

Piggybacking off the earlier example:

C_TEXT($svg;$ref)
C_PICTURE($pict)

$svg:=SVG_New   // this new svg document is referred to as "$svg"
$ref:=SVG_New_rect ($svg;10;10;100;100)  // refer to this new rectangle in 
"$svg" as "$ref"
SVG_SET_FILL_BRUSH ($ref;"red")
SVGTool_SHOW_IN_VIEWER ($svg) //Will open a Viewer window for "$svg"

I find that this helps with seeing the structure of the SVG and how 4D builds 
it.
You can even modify the XML and see the effects immediately.

Hopefully this is helpful.

Best Regards,
-Tai B.

Has anyone noticed that 4D 64-bit has a much lighter font stroke than the 
32-bit version?

Is this normal?

RE: stylized text

[Tai Bui via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

The documentation states 
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16R6/4D/16-R6/ST-SET-ATTRIBUTES.301-3547533.en.html :
"The startSel and endSel parameters can be used to designate the selection of 
text to which to apply the style modification(s) within the object. In 
startSel, you pass the position of the first character to be modified and in 
endSel, you pass the position of the last character to be modified plus one 
(the last character passed is not included in the modification)."

Hope that clears things.

Best Regards,
-Tai B.

Given the following

*ST SET PLAIN TEXT*($StyleNote_txt;"Note : As of July”)

*ST SET ATTRIBUTES*($StyleNote_txt;1;4;Attribute bold style;1)



Where should the text be bolded. One might think all of the word Note, but
it does not. If you change the code to

*ST SET ATTRIBUTES*($StyleNote_txt;1;5;Attribute bold style;1)

The entore word is bolded. Can anyone shed light on why this is so?

Version is 15.5 and am running on a MAC

Thanks and reagrds,

RE: v17 - anyone know what OS is required (on a Mac)

[Tai Bui via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

Most of the demos are v16.x and v16Rx, most likely the most recent releases at 
the time of the summit are going to be used.
The certification matrixes for both can be found on the download site:
http://www.4d.com/downloads/products.html

If you want to follow along with the slides, we've allowed presenters to have 
their slides in .key (Mac Keynote) and .ppt (PowerPoint) formats. So a Mac with 
both applications may be more preferable if you do not want to perform any 
conversions.

Best Regards,
-Tai B.

RE: identify duplicates

[Tai Bui via 4D_Tech]

Hi David,

Perhaps using GROUP BY like Neil suggested in an SQL call in a similar fashion 
to the following will help:

Begin SQL
 SELECT tbl.fld_1,tbl.fld_2,tbl.fld_3,Count(*) AS recCount
 FROM tbl
 GROUP BY tbl.fld_1,tbl.fld_2,tbl.fld_3
 HAVING Count(*)>1
 INTO :$arrFld1,:$arrFld2,:$arrFld3,:$arrCount;
End SQL

The size of the  arrays show how many “DISTINCT” set up duplicates you have and 
the ones in the same element position show the values and the Count of 
duplicates found.

Best Regards,
-Tai B.

RE: selection based list box

Hi,

Have you tried passing 0 for the row number? According to the documentation:
"If position is 0 and if the action parameter contains Listbox replace 
selection or is omitted, all the rows of the listbox are selected. If the 
action parameter contains Listbox remove from selection, all the listbox rows 
are deselected."

Hope this helps.

RE: Exporting/Importing Table Relations

[Tai Bui via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

It is possible to perform an export of the structure definition which contains 
the relationships. Most of the items are identified by UUIDs that 4D generates 
automatically. You may be able to parse the file and recreate the relationships 
by code as the relationships also contain the table and field names.
