Re: HTML Editor in 4D

Hi Dougie, Have a look at the HTML Email Component by Thomas Maul: http://kb.4d.com/assetid=75229 It is using TinyMCE. The trick to get the html out of the editor is by using a html starting page to open the TinyMCE in a Web Area. This page contains a javascript to set and get the content.

Re: HTML Editor in 4D

In my project I created some html templates which are opened in the TinyMCE editor. The 'average' users can edit the content and then send the mail. A few moons ago I tried to make the switch to 4D Write Pro, but got stuck on the first part: the html import. I could update my templates to 4D

Re: 4D Write Pro using expressions with XML merge file (or JSON)

Hi Piotr, I would advise JSON or rather 4D objects. 4D objects and JSON are not exactly the same, but very closely related. JSON is actually a text representation of a 4D object. The 4D debugger handles objects nicely too. You can store your data into a 4D object and then retrieve the values

Re: v17 conundrum in design

Hi Chuck, Is it happening on a line of code which is split up in several lines ('\')? I've seen this happening a number of times. Mainly quitting and restarting 4D is enhough to solve this issue. You might try to remove the slash chars, set a breakpoint at the remaining line and remove it right

Re: 4D Write Pro Brain Cramp

Hi Tom, I suppose the problem is that you are copying the reference of your preference_object WP to [invoices] and not the wp content itself. This way ST Freeze is also modifying your original WP and in the next run of the loop there are no more references to be freezed. Afterwards your

Re: How to display read-only input form

Hi Jim, Have you tried MODIFY SELECTION instead of MODIFY RECORD? Set the table in read only mode, make sure only the requested record is in the current selection and then open the record using MODIFY SELECTION. Without the. optional * parameters, this command should open it immediately in the

Re: v17 Print Settings in a form's Property List

Hi David, AFAIK this is OS behavior difference between 32bit and 64bit. Just try any other 32bit or 64bit windows app and print. As far as those apps don't roll out their own print dialogs (like Word...) HTH Koen > Op 10 apr. 2019, om 04:31 heeft David Rose via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com>

Hi Paul, If must have the headers visible. Then you click and drag the column header to move the column. At least on array based listbox. HTH Koen > Op 27 mei 2019, om 11:48 heeft Paul Lovejoy via 4D_Tech > <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> het volgende geschreven: > > I have a listbox with 21 columns

Re: POSIX Path Syntax (How to convert from 4D POSIX to Terminal POSXIX?)

Hi Jeremy, Two options: - surround your path with single quotes. If the path itself includes quotes, you will need to escape them. '/Users/jeremyfrench/Desktop/test_notarize_01/test_notarize_01_Build/Final Application/test_notarize_01.app/' - escape the spaces:

Re: 4D View - create spans?

Hi Pat, One trick shown on the World Tour to manipulate 4D View Pro data is to export the data to an object, manipulate the object and then import it back to the View Pro area. Creating a span in the first row merging column 1 to 5, can be done as follows: $vpAreaName:="ViewProArea"

Re: v17 Print Settings in a form's Property List

Hi David, Use 'Settings' from the property list. Then in the Print dialog use 'Preferences' button. You will be able to set orientation. Button 'Advanced...' will give you more options (like paper size) depending on the driver. A bit of a hassle, I agree (and that is why I'm working on mac

Hi Paul, There is some 4D prefs file 4ddebugger.json which might contain faulty values. I don't know exactly where to find it on Windows, but on Mac its home/Library/Application Support/4D/4D Window Bounds v17/runtime/[projectForm]/4ddebugger.json. See also:

Re: FORMAT NUMBER

Hi Ferdinando, Just tested v16.5 (on Mac, but that should not differ from Windows). IMHO there are no changes in number formatting between v16 and v17. Created a 1 column array based list box on a form. Populated the array with some random real numbers. The column is set to variable type

Hi Steve, IIRC I've had some issues with PDF Viewer plugin when moving to 4D v17 even on older macOS than Mojave. Rob Lavaux from pluggers.nl promptly fixed them. You should contact him to get your issues solved. I personally do prefer PDF Viewer instead of picture fields or web areas (on

Re: Folder path issues

Hi Chip, Just checked v17 and the returned path is correct. But in v15 the / character is missing. I guess the 4D v15 path conversion method is faulty. Because macOS internally stores / character in file or folder names as : Besides of having to live with it, two options: - change your folder
