Question about Structure Meta Data

[Chris Norman-3]

Is there a way to extract information from the Structure Inspector?

I want to create a schema spreadsheet that shows each tables column  
name, data type, and help tip.

Thanks,

Thanks!

I'm able to get everything I need except the "Help Tips" portion of  
the Field Attributes.

I would expect that to be part of the GET FIELD PROPERTIES or GET  
FIELD ENTRY PROPERTIES commands.

Any ideas?

Thanks again,
-Chris

Good day all,

I am wondering if there is a way to update a 4D made into a double-
clickable application without replacing the whole thing.

For example when updating a Microsoft or Adobe application, the  
updater simply "patches" the code. Is there anything like that with 4D?

I am currently using 4D 2004.6 Mac
Mac OX 10.4.9
I also have 4D 2004.6 on Windows XP for the purpose of testing and  
compiling for Windows.

Thank you,

Stephane Potvin

Yes, you can get this through the free plugin "API Pack"
http://pluggers.nl/api_pack.html

API Pack exposes a lot of the 4D's internal interfaces that
are not implemented in the 4D language. I havent used this
part, but I expect this should do what you need.

"Procedurally create resources for which no 4D commands
exists (like tooltips, style sheets etc.)."

Even though it's free, I'd recommend making a small token
payment, as the plugin and the sample code are invaluable.

There is an option, though it may not be exactly what you

Greetings...

So, I want to create a pop up menu..

http://www.4d.com/docs/CMU/CMU00542.HTM


And the info and example are great...


except: " To add an icon to an item, place in the item text a circumflex
accent (^) followed by a character whose ASCII code plus 208 is the resource
ID of a Mac OS-based icon resource."


I want to add my own icon!

Is there a way to get pictures from the Picture Library? Can I add my own
pictures to the Icon Resource? Am I stuck?


Thanks,
Scott

I've seen icons used with hierarchical lists. There is an example  
database on the 4d site
if that is of any help

Thanks, but it's not what I'm looking for.


Maybe someone from 4D will catch this and can explain the following to me:

"To add an icon to an item: In the item text, place a circumflex accent (^)
followed by a character whose ASCII code plus 208 is the resource ID of a
Mac OS-based icon resource."

(From Pop up menu and APPEND MENU ITEM)

Thanks,
Scott

Hi!

I made 2 mistakes:
First, installed this toolbar component  
http://www.mitchenall.com/products/freeware/4d/toolbar_component/index.phtml
Second, didn't make a backup before :-(

Anyone has sugestions for removal ?
The main problem is the protected tables and procedures which I can't
delete/modify.

Thanks
Jp

Looks like you have to move your own structure to a new
file in order to leave everything else behind. Sorry.. the
backing up requirement is quite essential here..
