Re: Checkbox in collection based listbox
Hi Jeff and Jeremy, Thanks. Once I updated the form in 64 bit I could select types (in 32, I get an empty list for types and anything that is typed gets propagated to the other columns. Once I could make it a boolean I could then ensure it used a checkbox.

That’s the real answer. I love Picture Library and use it for many reasons. Faster, easier, less chance of breakage when installing new versions and moving structures around. Also no need to do “duplicate resources locally” of every picture in “Resources” whether the user ever needs them or not. Picture Library works just like forms and methods. You only get what you need when you need it, and only if the locally cached version needs to be updated. That’s a big advantage to me. Why copy a 50MB “Resources” folder of images when 4D Client starts up? The client may never need 49MB of those images. Picture Library is not going anywhere. There’s no talk of deprecation as far as I know.

Hi Robert,
Is there an “Open window” company anywhere to be found, or is this all running
in the default 4D splash screen window? That could be the issue. Need to stop
using that window and process and start creating new processes and doing
explicit “Open window” commands in the new processes. That’s the new 4D way.
The single-window-never-open-a-window way is super legacy and is being left
behind rapidly by 4D engineering. My opinion.
When you say “dismissed”, you mean the MODIFY SELECTION part disappears and you
return back to whatever was there before? In the past you had to issue a
“CANCEL” command from a button or somewhere to make MODIFY SELECTION go away.
Last possibility is to not use v17 R3. Drop back to v17.0 and see if it works
like it did in v11. Could be v17 R series changes has killed this. Might have
to go even farther back to v16 or v15 to keep this old legacy code functioning.

Picture Buttons--Benefits of Picture Library...
I’ve been working with button images which the picture library... While doing this I noticed one nice feature of the picture library. When dragging button graphics from the picture library to a form (assuming that the picture properties are defined as a split object), the destination object is assumed to be a picture button and is sized properly (48x48). When I do this with the resource folder as a source, I get just the graphic (not a button) and I have to muck with the sizing properties since this apparently cannot be set via the resource tab of the toolbox. Any suggestions about this subject? What’s the consensus about where to store these resources? I think 4D is suggesting resources (the external resource folder) is the future but clearly there are some picture folder benefits. What do you use?

RE: Using 4D with Git...
> What does this accomplish? It allows us to keep a record of changes (but no > smooth way to revert changes, and no way to track form changes). As I mentioned earlier (not in this thread) we use the component vc_framework initiated by Josh Fletcher some time ago. This component is able to export forms too, since V14. And regarding the handling of reverts, we implemented a way to import changes in the VCS repositories. You can find more at https://github.com/elutz/vc-framework-v17 The process is a bit cumbersome since you have to do an extra step after checking out the changes from VCS to get them into 4D. But we use it on regular base with success the last years. One remark: We don't do an import of forms, we use it only for methods of all kinds. > We are also excitedly anticipating better support for version control! There are feature requests, i.e. look here http://forums.4d.com/Post/DE/1356010/1/1356011 At least the possibility to export in V17R3 looks promising, but this only half the way.

Re: Using 4D with Git...
We have been exporting our project and form methods to flat files that we track in the Bitbucket GIT service. We chose Bitbucket because it has free private repos. What does this accomplish? It allows us to keep a record of changes (but no smooth way to revert changes, and no way to track form changes). We are presently having to re-write our export method to work with version 16 (64-bit) because of the change in file path separators. We are also excitedly anticipating better support for version control!

Re: Checkbox in collection based listbox
Hi Andrew, Did you set the “Data type" to “Boolean” in the Property List's “Data Source” theme?

Re: Checkbox in collection based listbox
It's a bug in the property list -- the option appears in either the 64-bit or the 32-bit version only (sorry - I don't remember which). Switch over to whichever version you're not using and set this property, and it will display fine in the other. Did that make sense? :) Jeff > On Nov 7, 2018, at 2:57 AM, Andrew Hickey via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > However, I cannot get the Boolean field to display as a checkbox, the option > does not appear under the Display section of the properties and so far I > have not been able to use OBJECT Set Format to force it as part of the On > Load handler. ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
