Re: Standalone application connection to 4D Server

[Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech]

You know, this reminds me of when I used to manage restaurants. I'd tell my
managers that a place runs better when it's easy to do the right thing and
hard to do the wrong thing. So you really want to avoid making it easier to
do the wrong things. Because the easier something is to do the more likely
it is to get done.

Re: v13+ LEP permision issues.

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

isn't "Method called on error" executed in the same process as the invoking 
method?

normally the code would only be interested in basic information such as OK,
which changes the course of action (ignore, abort, retry).

even if more details were available,
there is normally not much one can do on the spot.

"Method called on error" can log (table or document) the date, time, user, 
machine,
error stack, error method, error formula, error line for later analysis.

the only way to get information BACK, such as what error occurred, from
the On err call method(s) is via IP var(s).

Re: Standalone application connection to 4D Server

[Wayne Stewart via 4D_Tech]

Hi​
,

​Just some more clarification on licensing.
Not many people read the fine print of the license.

A
​ 4D Application Single User (or what many people call ​
engined
​or
 sponsored version
​)​
can’t
​ connect more than twice per day to write to a data source.  It can
connect as many times as you like to read from it:

​
LICENSEE recognizes and agrees that the access to one or several remote
server(s) through 4D Application Single User is authorized, provided that
this 4D Application does not modify this/those server(s) and its/their
data. Notwithstanding the above provision, 4D Application Single User may
permit the reading and/or occasional “batch” update of the above mentioned
server(s), and this, within the limit of twice (2) every twenty four (24)
hours.

As a standalone you need to be using 4D SQL DESKTOP in order to connect
more than twice a day to a data source for writing.

A SQL Desktop can connect using web, web services, SQL, anything at all as
often as you like.

As Tim points out what it connects to needs be licensed appropriately.

I'm not certain how remote datastore connections will work in v17 but I'm
sure a lot of people had a lightbulb moment thinking I could use that for a
remote standalone (*and it will be great for that*).

However, unless 4D changes the license you won't be allowed to do that from
something using only the 4D interpreted or unlimited desktop licenses.

​I hope that's clearer (but I think I've just muddied the waters rather
than anything else).

Cheers,

Wayne

RE: v13+ LEP permision issues.

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

Tim,
a bit late but...

There are other reasons, but one is:
Thread safety  :)

And while this is NOT an issue in v13, I am writing this code now, I 
might as well make as much of the code thread safe, and future proof, 
as is reasonable. 

Using 4D functions requires wrapping an On Err Call("method") On Err 
Call("") around the various disk access functions.
ex:
On Err Call("File_Errors")
Delete Document($Document)
On Err Call("")

Unless there is some way I am unaware of -- very possible  :)
the only way to get information BACK, such as what error occurred, from 
the On err call method(s) is via IP var(s).

Using LEP the calls for Disk access are natively thread safe (at least 
I would expect so -- NOT tested), and 
also they are MUCH faster.

The 4D code, in which LEP is called is (I believe) thread safe as most 
of the 'work' is text manipulation.
 

BTW: is there a list of either (or both) thread safe, and/or Thread 
unsafe 4D commands?

Thanks
Chip

Re: Picture Buttons in v16

I did find the Light Grey button in the new form wizard to be quite good,
but our old buttons are much smaller.
Also, how can one delete 200 pictures easily?

RE: Standalone application connection to 4D Server

[Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech]

> If you use SQL there is no additional licensing needed.

This is incorrect; or at least it is misleading...

If using SQL, and you do not have an "Unlimited SQL License", then each SQL 
connection will consume a Client License on the 4D Server.
Therefore, if there is no more 4D Client licenses available on the 4D Server 
then the SQL connection would fail.

The best approach if your 4D Server is serving SQL Connections is to purchase 
an Unlimited SQL License:

RE: Picture Buttons in v16

[Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech]

Keep in mind that for old PICT images, it is often a better idea to find a more 
modern replacement rather than to convert them...

Help with SQL login

[Stephen Shaw via 4D_Tech]

Hi all

I get an error when using the sql login command from 4D Developer from a stand 
alone database, but not from a 4D client


SQL LOGIN(“4D:DatabaseName”;"user”;"Userpassword";*)
If (ok=1)
ALERT("Success”) // works on 4d client attached to the database
SQL LOGOUT
Else 
ALERT("Failure”) 
   // fails with stand alone (error = SQL error 9918. Generic SQL error 
[1006 SQL error 9918. Generic SQL error; 3 connection is broken])

I have plenty (3) spare client licences available. Is this expected behaviour 
or am I missing some subtlety

RE: FN call issues

Doesn't the function call get called for each record in the selection.  If you 
only want it to run once, does adding a LIMIT 1 to the sql call help?

So if I am reading this correctly, the conversion worked just fine, except for 
the size. So it appears to me to be a scaling issue. 

Are all your images too small by the same amount, or are some images exactly 
right? If they are all too small then you can just add an additional line to 
the conversion code to scale up the converted image. 

To double the size of the image, add this line of code after CONVERT PICTURE 
command:

TRANSFORM PICTURE($picture;Scale;2.0)

You will need to experiment to determine the correct scaling amount. It might 
be 150% — or 1.5 — or some other value. 

Also the TRANSFORM PICTURE($picture;Transparency;"0x00FF”) line appears to 
not be incorrect. The “0x00FF”  should not be enclosed in quotes. Just 
0x00FF. TRANSFORM PICTURE takes numeric parameters not string parameters. 

See the documentation

Re: Picture Buttons in v16

[Alan Tilson via 4D_Tech]

Thanks Chuck,

Wow, that looks complicated!

I did find this code in http://kb.4d.com/assetid=76775 which converts the
library to .png in v13:

ARRAY LONGINT($PictRef_aL;0)
ARRAY TEXT($PictName_aT;0)

PICTURE LIBRARY LIST($PictRef_aL;$PictName_aT)
$SOA:=Size of array($PictRef_aL)

  // Method Actions
==

If ($SOA>0)

For ($Ndx;1;$SOA)  // for each picture

$PictRef_L:=$PictRef_aL{$Ndx}

$PictName_T:=$PictName_aT{$Ndx}

GET PICTURE FROM LIBRARY($PictRef_aL{$Ndx};$Pict_G)

$Pict_P:=->$Pict_G  // passage of a pointer

If (AP Is Picture Deprecated ($Pict_P)=1)  // if format is obsolete

CONVERT PICTURE($Pict_G;".PNG")  // conversion to png

SET PICTURE TO LIBRARY($Pict_G;$PictRef_L;$PictName_T)  // and storage in
the library

End if

End for

Else

ALERT("The picture library is empty.")

End if


​I still needed to set the transparency, and my previous code worked for
that.

Re: Picture Buttons in v16

[Alan Tilson via 4D_Tech]

Thank you Sannyasin and Keisuke, for sharing the process in converting the
picture library for v16.
However, my results are not good.
Upon opening our system in v16 and going to Pictures almost everything
displays as a camera wtih a red X across it and .pict underneath the X.
After converting each .pict into .png I get a very small version of the
same image except the .pict seems to have been replaced with .png.
And if I leave out the TRANSFORM PICTURE line it does nothing.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
I am converting from v13 if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Alan

Paste (ctrl-v) in textfield doesn't work with focusable listbox

[Piotr Chabot Stadhouders via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

4D v16R6
I have a form with a listbox and a textfield
When the listbox has the property focusable set, pasting text into the text 
field via ctrl-v doesn't work (menu item paste DOES work)
When I uncheck the focusable property pasting does work

Does anybody know about this behavior?

I need to set the listbox focusable because else I can not set columns 
enterable! Also something I don't quite understand

Gr,

Piotr

Re: Default Font ? 4D 15.4 & Windows 10

[Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech]

Sounds like you're not using style sheets. This is what happens in 4D if you 
assign fonts from the font menu instead of using style sheets in the property 
list.

Could this be the problem?

Default Font ? 4D 15.4 & Windows 10

[Jim Medlen via 4D_Tech]

A very curious issue came up this week on Windows 10 clients.

All Fields and variables on a form that do not have a specific Font declared
are defaulting to Windings.

On the layout the information looks garbled but it is the display font and
not the data.

Mac clients display the text correctly.

It began after the most recent windows software update.
