Yes I knew, not because I read the doc but it was shown at last summit. There's something's missing in 4D documentation: history. When working with many versions, it takes a disproportionate time to find when a feature was added to a command or to get the changes in naming… I'd like the doc to "Join the R-release revolution" too. -- Arnaud de Montard ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **

I use them in 4D v15.2 and the users like them a lot! (still using that version as Print Preview causes 4D to freeze in v15.4 - but it seems I am the only developer it happens to) Cheers, Keith ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Re: "Placeholder" in property list
Yep, it's a very welcome feature. And you can set it programmatically! :-) -- Cannon Smith > On Apr 22, 2017, at 7:37 AM, Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Has anyone noticed that in 15.4 (HF2... maybe others) there's a new property > for fields and variables called 'Placeholder' that automatically fills an > empty field with descriptive text in a light gray font color, which > disappears when you type or the variable receives a value? ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Re: "Placeholder" in property list
That new feature has been a help with clutter. I was unable to use it a numeric field until the field's format was set to something where the zero value was hidden, like ";-;". When the field does not have the focus, the placeholder appears.

"Placeholder" in property list
Has anyone noticed that in 15.4 (HF2... maybe others) there's a new property for fields and variables called 'Placeholder' that automatically fills an empty field with descriptive text in a light gray font color, which disappears when you type or the variable receives a value? It's been awhile since I read the v15 documentation but I was surprised to see it there! ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
