Re: Listbox Spacing Between Columns

Thanks. This does work reasonably well for this circumstance. As I’m using field based listboxes, I used the following to make the spacer column: LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN FORMULA(*;"CCTransactionsLB";3;"SpacerCol";" ";Is text;"";$HeaderVar) LISTBOX SET COLUMN WIDTH(*;"SpacerCol";10) OBJECT SET

Very cool idea! Does this formula evaluation only work with arrays? Or text fields too? Sannyasin Siddhanathaswami On Sep 24, 2017, 3:20 AM -1000, wrote: Next approach is to read the real arrays into text arrays. In this case since they are just display it doesn't really matter. In lots of

Re: Listbox Spacing Between Columns

even if it doesn't seem applicable to your immediate deployment target, it is good practice as a programmer to not assume that a thousand (decimal) separator would always be a comma (period). 2017/09/25 7:43、Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> のメール：

I guess string like "123,456" evaluates as an undefined, variable name in v15 or later. http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15/Get-pointer.300-2018637.en.html 2017/09/25 7:43、Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> のメール： (in v15 they started choking execution)

Sannyasin, Sorry about that - could have sworn I'd used that before. Next approach is to read the real arrays into text arrays. In this case since they are just display it doesn't really matter. In lots of cases it's a benefit using text arrays for user input as it lets you accept formulas for

I reformat the text on the fly, adding spaces to the start. Not tidy, but it does work. Jeremy Jeremy Roussak j...@mac.com > On 24 Sep 2017, at 03:40, Sannyasin Siddhanathaswami via 4D_Tech > <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > > Excellent idea, unfortunately trailing spaces are ignored. Too

Re: Listbox Spacing Between Columns

Sannyasin, It works with any text. Outside of listboxes I let users write formulas for things like pricing and commissions. It's nice to let them do this in terms of things they understand so a formula can look like: P= (Cost * x) + Z P= (MSRP * (1 - x)) + Z There are two ways you can evaluate

Re: Listbox Spacing Between Columns

Miyako, That's a really good point. So the better way would be to get the local thousands separator and filter that. I suppose the best approach would be to convert each string value to a real and then string in back in with no formatting. But that gets complicated when the string is from a
