I don't which example you saw, but I have always used SET MACRO PARAMETER since
v11 (Macros v2).
One piece of advise is to protect the method called from macro by doing
something like
Macro_MyMethod(;)
C_TEXT($1;$2)
$methodName:=$1
$methodPath:=$2

Download the 4D Pop source code and look at the macros component for
some examples.

Kirk,
I think you are looking for GET MACRO PARAMETER and SET MACRO PARAMETER. In the
method called by your macro, that allows you to get/set the selection or the
entire method.

Just to clarify, this is likely because object notation has been enabled; which
essentially upgrades the structure file from v16 to v17, making it unable to be
opened in v16 afterwards.
See this image and the warning about it not being able
Yeah, it is safe to continue using v16R6; the removal from the website was

Hi folks,
I haven't tinkered with my macros in quite a while. Today I was trying to
write a project method that returns some text. The idea being to run the
method from a macro and plug the result directly into the method being
edited. Here's the what I was working with:

Just speculating (based on why I would do something like that) - some
really bad thing was found that happens rarely but is very, very bad when
it does.

List form = listbox

List form = 4D 'standard' type output form.

Jim,
Did you mean an output form (or included form) and not a list box?
Place a rectangle behind the detail area of the form and run the
following code in the on display detail event:
: (Form event=On Display Detail)
If (Displayed line number%2=0)
OBJECT SET RGB
Is there a way to have alternating background colors for a List Form ?
Thanks,

4D is a native Win32/Cocoa/Carbon app,

The random (version 4) does rely on the host computer's system to generate
the randomness I would assume so that becomes the weakness (according to the

Doesn't 4D already generate version 4 UUIDs? In version 4 the 15th hex digit is
always a 4, it seems that this is what 4D uses.
If you need a good explanation, of the various types, wikipedia works
Thanks Jody - yes I can follow all that, no problem :)

I'm curious why you would need a V4 version, because the only difference
between the two types is "uniqueness" versus "randomness".

Hi all,

Does anybody know how to generate an UUID version 4?

In Canada every possible date format was used by different clients. Therefore
we had to write our own date handler. Essentially we handle it this way:
1. We let the system administrator set the format for all dates to be
displayed. This includes all the ways 4D has built in way, but also
I am not using anything near v16... but have you tried to explicitly

I'm using v16r6 and it won't let me revert to 16.3. I don't think v17 is
ready for prime time yet ... Grrr! So, anybody got a suggestion for a

There’s a 4D bug regarding dates.
What version of v16 are you using? The latest nightly builds of v16 dot
releases should be fine.
If you’re using 16r something, then it’s fixed in v17.
