Re: How can a component get a pointer to a host form (dynamic) variable?

I think I may be being dim, but I don’t understand. Could you give some better idea of how the various component methods are called? Jeremy Jeremy Roussak j...@mac.com > On 11 Oct 2017, at 17:14, Jim Dorrance via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > No, the pointer is nil. I finally

No, the pointer is nil. I finally execute a host process that executes a component process that returns the picture to the host to be copied to a host form var. There must be a simpler way:( On Wed, Oct 11, 2017 at 5:49 PM, Jeremy Roussak via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Can’t the po

Can’t the pointer be passed from the host as a parameter to the method in the host which draws the picture? Just a thought. Jeremy Roussak j...@mac.com > On 11 Oct 2017, at 14:06, Jim Dorrance via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Thanks. > > I just want to copy a SVG picture cre

Thanks. I just want to copy a SVG picture created in a component ( using lots of data only available in the subform) to the host form. On Wed, Oct 11, 2017 at 2:21 PM, Jeremy Roussak via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Jim, > > I do it via a callback routine in the host. To make things

Jim, I do it via a callback routine in the host. To make things easy, the component creates several methods in the host the first time it’s used. Jeremy Jeremy Roussak j...@mac.com > On 11 Oct 2017, at 13:02, Jim Dorrance via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > How can a component
