This database doesn't work on macintosh?

[Michael Ferguson]

Hi,

I have been developing aa client-server  database for deployment on  
the IBM. In this course of this development I have transferred the  
database to my mac laptop for part of the development, and then back  
to the IBM. Now when I use a mac as a client, I get a message that  
the database doesn't work on macintosh. IBM clients have no problem.  
What do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks,

Michael Ferguson

sounds like you compiled the program - and compiled only for Windows.
you will probably need to recompile the database, and include the Mac
as part of your compiler settings.

v2003 have a check box in the compiler preferences 'always compile for
both platforms'

We need more info. What version of 4D, Is the application compiled? -  
if so make sure you compiled for both platforms. Are you sure you are  
using client versions that match server versions?

I had forgotten about this setting. The cryptic error message did not  
ring the bell.

Thank you,

Is it possible to set the background color of individual cells in a
Listbox?  I'd like to set the background colors of the cells in one
column.  Each cell's background needs to be a different color.  Is this
possible?

Thanks,
Ken Eyring

I don't think so..

4D View is 4D's answer to control over "cells", as opposed to rows and
columns.  List Box gives control over the latter, not the former...

you can change to foreground - the text color
if that helps

Hello,

is the box intended primarily for display purposes?
you could use 4D Chart to create pictures for each of the cells...

Hi Miyako,

Thank you for your response.  The listbox is intended to be used only
for display (and selection) purposes, but I've never used 4D chart -- so
I'm hesitant to use this approach.  Do you think it would slow down the
processing to have 4D Chart create a picture for every element in a
listbox column?

I'll look into what is involved.  It is nice to know there is a work around.

Best regards,
Ken

Hi Ken,

I wanted to set up business indicators in a listbox form. What worked for me
(and is fast) is to set one column as a picture array and then load small
pictures from the picture library into the array depending on the data. In
my case, I used small colored spheres created in Photoshop.

You can see what it looks like here:
