Re: Help LEP macOS to open the Emoji viewer

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

thanks for your informative reply.

I've tried your plugin, but it seems that the plugin only accepts one
modifier key.

This code opens (only with debugger) the macOS Spotlight and close spotlight
after you step over "POST VIRTUAL KEY"

$modifiers:=Command key mask+Control key mask
kVK_Space:=0x0031

POST VIRTUAL KEY (kVK_Space;$modifiers)

it seems the code

CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, e);

cancels the pressed state of control, option, fn, command (but not shift) 
implicitly.

I've changed the code to support a combination of modifiers.

https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-virtual-key

that said, it will not work in 4D.

you can confirm that the event is sent correctly by calling DELAY PROCESS and 
focusing on another app.

Lep Redirect

[Peter Mew via 4D_Tech]

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me with this.
I have a LEP command that reads a file from disc, does some processing
using a program called "shntool", and writes the processed result back to
disc

C_Blob($in;$out)
C_Text($err)
Launch external process(<>PathToShntool+" "+"strip"+" "+"-O always"+"
"+$InputFile+" "+$OutputFile;$In'$out;$err)

This works fine. However I would Like the command to Write to a Blob
instead of the Output File.
There is no output in stdout($out)
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks

Re: OAuth

[Jeremy Roussak via 4D_Tech]

Miyako,

That was very helpful, thanks, and I’ve now completed that first step of the 
“authentication journey”; I can get an authorization code which I can copy and 
paste manually, which is fine: it will last for 18 months.

The next step is using the authorization code to get an access token, and I’m 
stumbling again. The documentation page 
(https://developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk/api-documentation/docs/authorisation/user-restricted-endpoints#installed-applications)
 says to do this:

curl -X POST --data \
'client_secret=[YOUR-CLIENT-SECRET]_id=[YOUR-CLIENT-ID]_type=authorization_code_uri=[YOUR-REDIRECT-URI]=[AUTHORIZATION-CODE]'
 \
https://test-api.service.hmrc.gov.uk/oauth/token


I’ve tried this:

$url:="https://test-api.service.hmrc.gov.uk/oauth/token;
$body:="grant_type=authorization_code"+\
"_id="+$clientID+\
"_secret="+$clientSecret+\
"_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob"+\
"="+$authCode
$err:=HTTP Request(HTTP POST method;$url;$body;$response)

but all I get is an error saying “grant_type required”. I’ve tried fiddling 
with the order of items in $body, but as expected it makes no difference.

I assume I’m not translating the curl example properly into 4D. Help?

4D Server v17.1 and time change

[Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech]

Did anyone else have any weirdness with their 4D Server v17.1 and the change to 
Daylight Savings Time this morning?

Most, but not all, of our users got disconnected around the time of the change, 
the SQL server and the 4D Server UDP port that broadcasts the server name 
stopped responding (we have Nagios checks on both of these and they both 
started alerting), and when we went to quit 4D Server it just quit immediately 
without giving the usual chance for a countdown.

Could be a fluke I guess? But it seems awfully suspicious that it happened 
right around the time change, so I'm just curious if anyone else saw anything 
weird?

RE: Windows Build - STR# 10135, 18/19 Folders

[Randy Engle via 4D_Tech]

John,

On our system:
(Windows 10 4D 17r4)
(We are 100% windows, creating new builds 3x week)

On Windows, the built app creates a folder:  "AppName"
This has the "Appname.exe" in it

Inside of that folder is another folder:  "Database"  This holds the 
.4DC/.4Dindy files

Clicking on the .EXE works just fine

Don't know about the "appname.4Dbase" folder
Something in the buildapp.xml?

I'll be glad to look at your buildapp.xml file if you want to send it to me.

Randy Engle

Subject: Windows Build - STR# 10135, 18/19 Folders

Hey All,

I couldn’t find anything in KB that explained this situation.

Windows 10 - 4D v17r4

I just noticed that the build of an engined version of my app creates two 
foldersnamed:

STR# 10135, 18 -> Appname.4dbase -> includes the .4DC/.4DIndy files STR# 10135, 
19 -> Appname -> includes executable

Is this related to the application build XML or JSON file?

I haven't had to create a standalone app on windows since 
DataPulse/StructurePulse 10 years ago. And it looks like I will need both of 
these folders as part of the “App”.

Can they just be renamed and then included in another folder? And isn’t there a 
way of creating a file (an alias like) where the client will click that and the 
app will work? I really like to keep them out of these folders.

Does an install program on windows manage these pieces as well.

If you have experience creating a standalone app on windows I’d appreciate any 
help. Any time saved is huge at this point.

Thanks for your help,
John…

Re: CONVERT PICTURE v17

[Randy Jaynes via 4D_Tech]

You have to be careful about the transparency, though.

After doing this conversion with transparency, I found that some of our 
pictures in the picture library (and static pictures on forms) need white in 
some areas to be meaningful. So we had to carefully look at each one to be sure 
that transparency conversion didn’t take anything away and redesign the ones 
that needed white put back in certain areas.

Second observation: It seems that 4D blocks this keycode combination, cause
4D adds no entry into the edit menu like other apps. (Word, Excel, OutLook,
Apple Mail, Textedit, ...) all other apps adds the entry to the edit menu.
Why not 4D ?

macOS 10.12.6

4D v17r4


Thanks Armin

Re: OAuth

[Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech]

if  the service provider does not support oob callbacks
then you need to start a TCP listener session on localhost.

c.f.

https://github.com/miyako/console-tcp-listener

of course you can use 4D Internet Commands or the built-in web server.

if oob is supported (you need to check with the service provider)
the user will be redirected to a web page that says something to the effect of,
"type this code in your desktop application".

OAuth is primarily designed for web applications,
that prefer to delegate authorisation and authentication to a trusted account 
agent,
so it assumes that the application is hosted by a web server,
anything else, like a desktop application,
is considered out-of-bounds re protocol.

OAuth

[Jeremy Roussak via 4D_Tech]

I’m trying to get an OAuth 2.0 access token. I’m confused about the redirect 
uri and how to implement it in 4D. The server I’m hoping to talk to is the 
Value Added Tax server at HMRC in England (in a couple of months’ time, 
entering figures for VAT returns will have to be done by software rather than 
online, by hand, at present). The spec is here:

https://developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk/api-documentation/docs/authorisation/user-restricted-endpoints#installed-applications

I’m floundering in the sea of my ignorance, so any help would be gratefully 
received. What, in 4D, should I do get get the authorisation results (step 2 in 
the reference)?
