Lee, Yes it's a Foundation v4 workaround for 2003/2004 Regards, Wayne [image: --] Wayne Stewart [image: http://]about.me/waynestewart On 21 April 2017 at 09:55, Lee Hinde via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Is that a historical thing? I’m in v15 on th

Is that a historical thing? I’m in v15 on this database now and it seems to work if I call OBJECT SET ENABLED(FND_IO_OKBUTTON_I;True)” directly. (in the host database…) > On Apr 20, 2017, at 4:52 PM, Walt Nelson via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Lee, > > That is EXACTLY why. >

Yes, it’s an old database. This is a host method. > On Apr 20, 2017, at 4:25 PM, Wayne Stewart via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Lee, > > Is this Foundation code or code in the host database? > > What is the method called? > > My assumption is that this is an older database fro

Re: Why would you do this? (Execute Formula Question.)

Lee, Is this Foundation code or code in the host database? What is the method called? My assumption is that this is an older database from pre v11 that's been updated. Regards, Wayne [image: --] Wayne Stewart [image: http://]about.me/waynestewart On 21 Apri

Re: Why would you do this? (Execute Formula Question.)

It was in a method to set the Foundation OK button status. The other use of Execute Formula I found was something about getting an int var for the host to talk to the component. But in this case, at least the string being executed had been created from text and a variable. // Project Method:

[offish] Why would you do this? (Execute Formula Question.)

Not to answer the original question.. sorry. But I did come across this wonderful bit of coding. Hours to try to figure out WTF was going on. TLDR; Execute Formula (method) called from within a different Execute Formula (method) Import routine : - run the code, import the data, not quite right

Re: Why would you do this? (Execute Formula Question.)

Lee, Just a guess but where is this code? It's probably a way of getting around the fact that a component can't access a host variable or vice versa. Foundation 5 was written for v11 and this was before a lot of control by object name stuff was available. In fact a lot of this code is inherited

Not only do you probably do not need execute you could write in one line of code Object set enabled(button;$1) Regards Chuck Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 20, 2017, at 2:52 PM, Lee Hinde via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > I got bit last night with this code: > > *C_BOOLEAN*(*$1*)

Re: Why would you do this? (Execute Formula Question.)

I've seen stuff like this in code maintained by folks who are good programmers but not particularly well versed in 4D. I think it makes sense from a different perspective. On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 11:52 AM, Lee Hinde via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > I got bit last night with this code:
