Tech Tip: Associating a field to a 4D View plug-in area.
PRODUCT: 4D View | VERSION: 2003 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: August 5, 2004

If you associate a field to a 4D View plug-in area on a form, you can save the area automatically using a 4D automatic button action such as Validate. If you choose to use the SAVE RECORD command, the Plug-in area is not saved for you automatically. You have to use PV AREA TO BLOB command before the SAVE RECORD command. The code below illustrates how the content of a 4D view area is saved into a BLOB field:

[mTable]BlobField_:=PV Area to blob (BlobField)
SAVE RECORD([mTable])
