By default, the 64-bit Label Editor will show the table forms that are associated for each table like for example:
As a developer, one may not want to display all the table forms to the user. A way to control this is to use the "labels.json" file to select what to display manually. If the developer wants to immediately them all, the following utility method will hide all forms for all tables without modifying each table manually:
| // ---------------------------------------------------------------------- // Name: HIDE_ALL_FORMS_IN_LABEL_EDITOR // Description: Method will hide all forms that will display in the Label // Editor 64-bit. // ---------------------------------------------------------------------- C_LONGINT($i;$numOfTables) C_OBJECT($obj) C_TEXT($jsonText) C_Time($vhDoc) ARRAY OBJECT($masterObj;0) $numOfTables:=Get last table number For ($i;1;$numOfTables) OB SET($obj;"tableId";$i;"forms";"[]";"methods";"[]") APPEND TO ARRAY($masterObj;$obj) CLEAR VARIABLE($obj) End for $jsonText:=JSON Stringify array($masterObj) $jsonText:=Replace string($jsonText;"\"[]\"";"[]") $loc:=Get 4D folder(Current resources folder)+"labels.json" If (Test path name($loc)=Is a document) text to document($loc;$jsonText) Else $vhDoc:=Create document($loc) If (OK=1) SEND PACKET($vhDoc;$jsonText) CLOSE DOCUMENT($vhDoc) End if End if |
Here is when all the tables forms are hidden:
Note: Deleting the "labels.json" file can revert back to displaying the default of all the table forms.
