Re: Contextual Cut, Copy & Paste...?

Robert, I second Tim's approach - just build your own menu based on the On clicked event with Contextual Click. I don't think a user could tell the difference between it being a '4D menu' and an 'OS menu'. I'm not even sure there is any. The only thing I'd do differently is not bother with an IP

Re: Contextual Cut, Copy & Paste...?

This Windows-based client sees this as a glaring omission from modern software… I would expect it to work by default or easy to implement although I personally accepted the fact that I can’t right-click for a useful contextual menu at times. Tim, care to share how you implemented this for one of

Re: Generating Random Numbers

Tim, Thanks for the help. I think that my method was based on your original tech note http://kb.4d.com/assetid=76055 I found the PHP command mt_rand which generates a random number using Mersenne Twister. This function was recommended on several web pages regarding random number generators. U

Re: Is there a way to get a list of set semaphores?

The only way I can think of is to know* all the semaphores and use Test Semaphore * - if you create 'random' semaphores - add them to an IP array, otherwise build an IP array with all the possible semaphores On Mon, 26 Jun 2017 11:23:28 -0700, Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech wrote: > Just wondering. >

Re: [Ann] 4D Set Component

David, This will not work in my component, mostly because I didn't know such a thing existed... I will look into it later this week, and if this behavior exists, I'll update and include it. And post back to let you know. Chip On Sun, 25 Jun 2017 11:41:31 +1000, David Adams via 4D_Tech wrote: >

Re: Generating Random Numbers

Jim, The standard random function in 4D is pretty basic. I looked into it once and found a much better solution was to use PHP. This is mathematically a much more "robust" generator. Here is a code example. (I think I found this in the iNUG archives.) // ---

Re: [Ann] 4D Set Component

I keep meaning to test this out or ask...is wildcard set clearing still supported? Deep into some numbers now so I'm not trying it out myself. But does anyone know? It used to be that you could clear everything like this: CLEAR SET("@") ...or be more selective, like: CLEAR SET("Items_@") Does a

RE: Generating Random Numbers

Not considered a good random number generator when you are looking for random numbers. Add in milliseconds or seed it by looking for a random number (from millisecond or something) of random numbers and tossing them. I usually use something like this Random+Abs(Milliseconds) and they seem rando

Generating Random Numbers

Is the 4D Random function considered a good random number generator ? Is there a better 4D function for generating a random number ? I am currently using vi1:=(Random%35)+1 to make a random selection of lower case letters or numbers. I concatenate 8 characters to build a ³random² password which

Hello Chip, Sorry, I don't know the answer to your issues, but I am curious about how you determine what sets if any exist for a table? I thought the only test available was Records in Set()>0? Thanks, Alan On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 12:30 PM, Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote:
