Hi Chip, Tim, Could there be some other weird reason why the stack level increases and doesn't decrease? Maybe calling plugin commands, or maybe EXECUTE METHOD? Maybe a bug in the debug log? Maybe something in Windows 10? I know nearly for sure that there is no recursion, and still the stack lev

RE: Stack level in 4DDebugLog.txt

Hi Tim, Thanks again for your answer. I already thought so, however, in my case the stack level increases over time It starts with zero I see it decrease some times, but after 1000 log lines it already is at 262 So I guess this smells like a nesting problem? I have to find out where and why Or c

Stack level in 4DDebugLog.txt

Hi, Can anybody explain to me what the "Stack level" column in the 4DDebugLog.txt means? There is no further explanation of this column in the docs What can be done with this? TIA, Piotr ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) F

RE: poor performance LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN

hi Alan, Maybe calling the average was a bit misleading after all : So I created a demo database with 1 form On this form I have 12 listboxes with 1 column On load of each listbox I insert 20 columns with LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN Inspecting the 4D debug log I am seeing something I did mention below

RE: poor performance LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN

Hi Chip, When the form is first displayed there are no elements in one of the arrays in the listboxes Only after certain user action, like pressing a button, the arrays are populated, so this isn't the problem Furthermore, I am not able to test with local 4D data because, surprise, we don't us

RE: poor performance LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN

Hi Alan, Thanks for testing! This is great news, because then maybe there is something else going on. Remember, I only asked the community if this performance was normal behavior and if it could be confirmed. Clearly not by you. I tested this on an HP Intel Core i7-4710MQ 2.50GHz laptop with 24

In fact, the functionality explained below could be seen as setting an alarm The alarm fires after a second (period of time) In the meantime it can be reset to again wait for a period of time before it fires Gr, Piotr Van: Piotr Chabot Stadhouders Verzonden: vrijdag 1 december 2017 17:40 Aan: 4
