Tech Tip: Entering a command into object variable
PRODUCT: 4D Developer | VERSION: 11 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: June 12, 2008

4D v11 SQL now allows you to enter text, methods which return a value, and 4D functions or 4D commands directly into the object variable name field in the object property list.
Examples:

Text:


Number:


4D command:


Project method:


The name of the Project method is "test". This method returns a string "Hello World"and it consists only one row "$0:="Hello World"

Results:


This will simplify the look of your form and give you more control over object variables. This feature is available only for project forms and will not work with default input or output table forms.

The restriction of this feature only working on Project Forms and not in Table Forms no longer applies when using 4D v11 SQL 11.4
