Re: Stylesheet Search?

[Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech]

Tim,
At the moment style sheets only go away in Projects. I've been working with
Projects and quite a bit with dynamic forms. You can implement an
equivalent of style sheets pretty easily when you're working with the form
JSON directly. In fact you have far better style capabilities. A style
sheet is just 3 properties: font, size and style. But you can set all the
text properties in the object JSON (which is part of the form JSON). So
your own styles could be defined in a file in the Resources folder and
include those properties along with alignment, color, etc. You 'apply' them
to each text object on the form.

The biggest convenience with the current styles is recognizing the
platform. But that's not hard to do. What's missing currently is a way to
identify such a style and associate it with a form object. The thing there
is this is likely to change the dimensions of form objects. I assume
currently 4D just manages that stuff programmatically as it draws the forms
on the screen. I bet how this is ultimately going to work with dynamic
forms is a topic of some discussion.

I think the interface with Projects, as it develops, is going to have some
way to deal with this. At this point it's not even clear if Projects is
going to be the default configuration at some point. I suspect so but I'm
only speculating. Personally I'd like to see a command to manage importing
elements from a Project (like forms, methods, tables) into 'regular' 4D
databases.

Are you saying in future versions of 4D that Style Sheets will no longer be 
supported?  So what takes their place? How do you assign font, style and size 
to objects that supports macOS and Windows like we do now with Style Sheets? I 
love Style Sheets and I use them EVERYWHERE.

Hi Robert,

In QS_Toolbox there are 2 functions:
- one to list style sheet definition
- one which list all object and style sheet attach

To change them, you have to do it manually.
In the future, we should be able to update this information directly on the
exported project file.

Patrick

What will replace style sheets?

FYI

stylesheets are deprecated in project mode.

I think the FORM LOAD approach continues to be the best option.

Might be easier to update it to v17 R5 and save the structure as a project and 
then use a file based search.

Build a report.

Open each form using 'form load'.
Call 'form get objects' then call 'object get style sheet' for each object.

Stylesheet Search?

[Robert ListMail via 4D_Tech]

Is there a way to search for a specific Stylesheet? I inherited a DB where many 
objects reference a blank stylesheet name. I guess I could create a stylesheet 
with a blank name but I’d prefer to find all of the objects that are 
referencing an non existent stylesheet.

Thanks,

Robert
