Re: Socket Communication
Hi Steve, I have been working with WebSockets on a component I wrote for 4D. I love web sockets over long-polling. I designed and created a component that can just be dropped into any database. I am planning on demo-ing the component with examples on 4DMethod but figuring out the right date. As soon as it's confirmed with Brent, I will let you know if you want to tune in for that presentation. I use web sockets for a number of things... like syncing data easily between many web views and for keeping track of some iPads that should be always on. As soon as they get powered off, the 4D Server instantly knows and sends a message to the employees affected. I also use them in a mobile app I designed to skip Apple Push Notifications and Google Firebase Notifications if the app is open. If it's open I can push a message directly to the app and skip the middle man. I also wrote an app that pops up a camera from a zoneminder when motion is detected, works pretty well for my employer's need. - Matt -- Sent from: http://4d.1045681.n5.nabble.com/4D-Tech-f1376241.html ** 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 **
Re: How to Create a Browser-Like Tabbed Interface
Olivier: Thank you for the suggestion. I've done some interesting things with ALP so a one row grid is certainly an option. Plain text would not give me the UI I want but, per your suggestion, using an image will provide a more attractive interface. And thank you for the link to your toolkit. It looks quite helpful! -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 11:51 AM Olivier Flury via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Maybe as an alternative to SVG a Listbox with one row and no header and > use the cell's as tab controls?

AW: How to Create a Browser-Like Tabbed Interface
Maybe as an alternative to SVG a Listbox with one row and no header and use the cell's as tab controls? You can detect single/double/context click, can put images, set colour, font style/size/colour insert and delete columns... Listboxes are very versatile, I used them to create a custom colour picker, a calendar picker and many other things, e.g.: https://flury-software.ch/a-swiss-army-knife-for-4d/ (free and source included) -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: 4D_Tech <4d_tech-boun...@lists.4d.com> Im Auftrag von Douglas von Roeder via 4D_Tech Gesendet: Montag, 21.

The issue in 4D (which I should have explained) is that, since 4D doesn't report a click, I can't trap for the contextual click. "SVG pictures offer a good way to see clicks. You'll always get an object's ID, and you can put almost anything in the picture." Agreed, but I'd rather avoid rolling my own — I'm a believer in the idea that "someone, somewhere has solved this issue so there's a solution out there". I've also looked into using a button grid + graphic (not very aesthetic) and there's always using On event call to trap the mouse clicks, but that could present problems because resizing the tab control could make the coordinates of each tab hard to determine. And I did check to see if Miyako had done something magical to solve this problem but no joy there. -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 9:11 AM Keith Culotta via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > A tab control will not report a click when the click is on the current > tab "page", but Safari seems to work that way too (no reaction to a > click on the current page's tab).

Re: How to Create a Browser-Like Tabbed Interface
A tab control will not report a click when the click is on the current tab "page", but Safari seems to work that way too (no reaction to a click on the current page's tab). Clicking another of the tab's areas will generate a click. SVG pictures offer a good way to see clicks. You'll always get an object's ID, and you can put almost anything in the picture.

How to Create a Browser-Like Tabbed Interface
I'd like to create an interface that mimics the functionality and appearance of the tab control in Chrome or Safari. Given the functionality of the 4D tab control (once a tab is clicked, it no longer reports mouse clicks) what are my options for building a highly functional, tabbed UI? -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 ** 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 **
Re: Apple Push Notification Servers (APNS)
Hi Tom, That is currently correct that 4D requests don't currently support http/2 request. But there is a curl plugin by Miyako that supports curl calls with http/2 right from 4D. https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-curl-http Scroll down to the very bottom of the readme and you will see an example of a http/2 request. - Matt -- Sent from: http://4d.1045681.n5.nabble.com/4D-Tech-f1376241.html ** 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 **
