Re: How to get the Window ref of the 4D 64 bit app window
Hello, I tested with 64-bit 17.0 (230889) and 17R3 (232314) Windows 10 1803 using the sample icon (owl) included with the plugin. in both cases, the MDI icon did successfully change. so it could be... incompatible with Windows 1809 incompatible with your .ico file (if you did not try with the sample icon) > 2019/02/02 9:58、Peter Hay via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com>のメール: > > I tried it on 64 bit versions of 4D v17R3 and v16, with both of your > plugins and got the same results.

Re: How to get the Window ref of the 4D 64 bit app window
Keith, that doesn't seem to work on Windows unfortunately. Miyako, Thanks for the link to your 2 plugins. I should have known to check your GitHub account. ;-) I tried both of your plugins. Set Window Title for the MDI window works perfectly, but I couldn't get the icon to be set correctly. The Icon changes, but it changes to the Windows default icon for a picture file. The one that looks like tiny blue mountains. I tried it on 64 bit versions of 4D v17R3 and v16, with both of your plugins and got the same results. I also got the same result on the big test button in your test database, Window Control.4DB, which changes the icon on a "normal" 4D window, not the MDI window. I'm running 64 Bit Windows 10 Pro 1809. Thanks for these plugins. I really appreciate all of your time, effort and knowledge that you share so freely with the 4D community. -- Pete Hay ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Re: How to get the Window ref of the 4D 64 bit app window
my understanding is that in the old days, the window ref (int) in the plugin SDK used to be just a type case of carbon windowRef (a C pointer). in 64-bit you can't just cast an address (64-bit) to int, the value would overflow. so the references are now mapped internally to real pointers (around v14). MDI is a different issue. because v16.0 beta or v16R and v17 are Altura-free, the old get-HWND(0) method to get its reference does not work. so a new entry point 719 was added in v16. https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-window-control https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-mdi see also https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-activate > 2019/02/01 7:40、Peter Hay via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com>のメール: > So, does anyone know how to get the 4D window ref of the main 4D > application MDI window for 64 bit 4D apps? ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **

Doing WINDOW LIST($aWin) in On Startup will return the window's ref in the
array (on the Mac anyway).

How to get the Window ref of the 4D 64 bit app window
Hi,
I'm trying to get the Window reference of 4D's application window so that I
can put a custom icon on it, and change the window title.
This is for 64 bit 4D v17R3 on MS Windows.
I've been doing this for years with the excellent Win32API
using gui_GetWindowEx (""). This works fine with 32 Bit 4D apps, but fails
on 64 bit apps. I've checked with Orchard Software, and they confirm the
issue, but they're still using 32 bit 4D Remote, so it's not a priority for
them. I have no problem with this stance. It's their plugin, and it's
free, and I'm very grateful for them giving it away.
So, does anyone know how to get the 4D window ref of the main 4D
application MDI window for 64 bit 4D apps?
Thanks.
