Change in String function between V13 and V16R6

Hi All I have been updating a database from V13 to V16R6, and an eagle eyed user spotted an apparent rounding error when converting a real to text. When InvProduct is 210.5497748441 pInvProduct:=""+String(InvProduct;"###,###,###,###,##0") In V13.5 this code gave : 211 In V16R6 you get 210.

Re: Change in String function between V13 and V16R6

Forget that last one. There was a rounding error, but not here. The problem was actually here: tProduct:=String(InvProduct;"&3") In V13.5 I get 2.10e+2 when InvProduct is 210.5497748441 In V16R6 I get 2.11e+002. So this has been fixed somewhere along the line. Sorry for wasting bandwidth Uis

How to tie 4D to barcode readers?

Hi, I am familiar with plugins to print barcodes, but don’t know what interface is needed to get 4D to read barcodes from barcode wands, etc. Does anyone have advice or recommendations? Thanks, Michael Ferguson Objective Systems

Re: How to tie 4D to barcode readers?

I recall doing this for a client a few years ago. As I recall, the barcode reader is just another input device, so as long as it has a USB connection you can just plug it in and read data into a field. Pat On Fri, 24 Aug 2018 at 14:52, mferguson--- via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Hi,

Re: How to tie 4D to barcode readers?

Most barcode readers also let you add a character to the start and end of a barcode. If you need more control than just entering the data into the current field, you can trap for these characters to position the cursor into the field that needs to accept the scan. For example, the character STX

If the barcode scanner is a USB-HID device then it just acts like a keyboard. If you have access to the summit content there was a session a while back: http://kb.4d.com/assetid=77624 -Tim Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: mferguson---

SVG - Simple Example

Good morning all, Can someone direct me to very simple SVG example? Thanks! Ed Glassgow glass...@pcisys.net ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailma

Re: SVG - Simple Example

A basic approach could be like this: --- C_TEXT($svg;$ref) C_PICTURE($pict) $svg:=SVG_New // this new svg document is referred to as "$svg" $ref:=SVG_New_rect ($svg;10;10;100;100) // refer to this new rectangle in "$svg" as "$ref" SVG_SET_FILL_BRUSH ($ref;"red") $pict:=S

RE: SVG - Simple Example

Hi, A command that I find very useful is the SVGTool_SHOW_IN_VIEWER command. You pass the SVG document to it and it will display it in a new window which also allows you to toggle to it's XML source. Piggybacking off the earlier example: C_TEXT($svg;$ref) C_PICTURE($pict) $svg:=SVG_New // th

Line count - compiled component vs interpreted

Hello, A compiled component of mine is throwing an error message from within a host database. It is correct to display the error message under its current conditions. However, the error is reported on line 35 of the offending method, but the method has only 25 lines, blank lines and all. Any id

RE: Line count - compiled component vs interpreted

Hi, From what I was able to decipher in similar instances, it seems to be the line number in the method that calls the component method. It's very (un)helpful and it's even worse if you do have more lines in the component method, as you can spend a lot of time trying to debug something like $i
