Re: Components and custom constants files

Jim, I was hoping that you would chime in as I know you do a lot with both constants and components. I've just been looking through for any constants problems and, so far, nothing seems even close to relevant - so I suspect that the problem lies elsewhere. I've also hand-checked every call to the

Methods, Components, Comments, and Tooltips

Hi, With all this talk about comments, I thought I would throw another 2¢ into the conversation. This is also useful for non components. I love the fact that 4D now displays tooltips over your methods. However, sometimes the first few lines of the method are not too helpful. If you have anythi

Re: Components and custom constants files

I use constants in components all the time and I have never experienced this problem. If you regenerate constants often, perhaps just to make a minor spelling change, perhaps the modified constants are not tokenised.All my constants start with 'k', so I do a search and replace of 'k' (case sensitiv

Components and custom constants files

Another background question on components. This time, it's about custom constants files. *Background* I break up my code into 'modules', some of which have associated constants. So, I end up with a few to many (many) constants files, depending on structure. The point is that I've got a bunch of l

Re: Top Menu Vs Sidebar (Web Applications)

perhaps the screen aspect ratio has some part to play, you'd rather not block the whole top (or bottom) strip unless you really have a lot of menus. but then, responsive UI's (like Google) tend to collapse their side menu in button on a square or portrait screen. finally, the human eye is better
