Preemptive execution question

I've been meaning to sit down and try this for a month...and now I have. One of the things that people seem to be excited about with CALL WORKER is the ability to run on something other than the main core. I'm not as excited about this as some, but I'm ready to be convinced. It strikes me as an

Re: 4D Compiler

Tim, That's probably an inflation-adjusted number. Which makes the first 128k Mac I bought in April of '84 the equivalent of about $6,700 now. Still not the most expensive computer I've personally bought - that was a Mac II with an 80mb drive and I don't remember how much RAM. 4MB of RAM back then

RE: 4D Server Crashes When Tracing Buggy Web Connection Code

The web server process is very sensitive to any bugs. We ran into the exact problem you are having. Our web team was suddenly very unpopular with the other developers. Any bug and the whole app would crash. We no longer run any code on the web server process on 4D server. Instead we run a

Copy out of read only variable/field

I thought there was a setting on a read only variable or field to allow selecting and copying data but not pasting or changing. I can't seem to figure it out. In my mind it was Object set enabled true and Object set enterable false. However I have tried every combination but none seems to have

4D Server Crashes When Tracing Buggy Web Connection Code

Aloha, If I trace On Web Connection code on 4D Server v15.3 Mac, and I goof and reference an out of index array (I know I’m the first to ever do that), our server crashes. It just quits to the Finder, no error message nothing. I view the trace via screen sharing to the server machine. This is

Re: 4D Compiler

Nigel: A couple of thoughts on this… I couldn't find this documented but 4D's compiler does three "passes" through the source code (when you're not typing all of your variables). IIRC, the compiler displays what it's doing for each pass but newer versions of 4D + modern hardware are so fast that

Re: OffsetCursor / Highlight in Dialog in 4D v13 OS X 10.12

Jim: Working in a 13.5 (Windows) system, I've seen something similar in some fields - when the inserting point enters the field, the bottom few pixels may be truncated or it's offset from the left side of the field mask by one or two pixels. This issue made it, at times, hard to spot the flashing

OffsetCursor / Highlight in Dialog in 4D v13 OS X 10.12

In 4D v13.6 running on OS X 10.12 there is an odd visual behavior with the REQUEST dialog. The cursor in the dialog is visually offset by approximately two character spaces and if the text is highlighted the Highlight color is shifted to the right as well. Has anyone else seen this and is

Hi Everyone, I'll pitch in here, too - I attended the World Tour in Chicago earlier this week (yeah, I live in Boston where it is also offered, but that's another story). I was impressed with the amount of preparation the 4D team did for the tour, with many good examples on the USB key and
