Hi Piotr,
I highly recommend the 4D Write-Like toolbar…
http://download.4d.com/4DBlog/Tips/4DWriteLikeToolbarDemo.zip
It has nearly everything needed including zoom and view mode that you
mentioned. If for nothing else it’s great to use as an example of how to
manage most of the 4D Write Pro attributes. I have adopted it for all my 4D
Write Pro areas with only a couple of additions. I added “4D Expressions” to
the Insert menu and added the orientation icons I mentioned earlier. Both were
very easy to add using the tool bar's example.
