Tech Tip: Assigning a border format to a group of cells in 4D Calc
PRODUCT: 4D Calc | VERSION: | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: August 25, 2000

When programming in 4D Calc, you may want to programmatically assign a border format to a set of cells. The code you would use would look as follows:

In this example the code was attached to a button. The idea is to define a range of cells and apply the border format afterwards. Please note that when you select a range of cells in 4D Calc using SP SELECT RANGE, the bottom right cell parameter will delimit the first row/column OUTSIDE the cell range. In the example above a type "4" border is applied to the outside of the cell range.

Copy and paste the following code example into your own 4D project:

Case of
 :Form event=On clicked
 $TopLeft:=SP Cell (2;2)
 $BottomRight:=SP Cell (4;4)
 SP SELECT RANGE (MyCalcArea;$TopLeft;$BottomRight)
 SP NEW BORDER (MyCalcArea;1 )
End case
