Re: Keeping a window in front within a process

Hi,

Have you tried the DRAG WINDOW COMMAND?

Find a window type that suits what you want to do ( execptt for the  
moving around issue)

create an invisible button that covers the entire background, place  
this behind all other objects on your form.

add this code..

Case of
	: (Form event=On Clicked )
		DRAG WINDOW
End case

RE: Finding Duplicate Records

Assuming that the issue that David raised is now fixed...
Another solution would be to use the quick report editor to track down your
duplicated records.

You can use the quick report dialog or write a method for that (offscreen
area).
Insert the fields that you want to compare as sorted columns.
If you want to see which records are duplicated, you can insert Record
Number([MyTable]) as formula.

You can use the Count feature to count the number of records that share the
same values.
If you do not want to see the record number, you can hide the Detail line in
order to make the report shorter. However, do not forget to display the
values of your breaks in your break levels.

You can save the result into a text file or into a basic xml file.
The quick report allows you to save as an HTML file. You can define a
template that will be like a XML file and generate that file. 

With that text file or xml file, you can easily know what values have been
duplicated and what are their record numbers.

J-Yves.

HTTPS Client?

Hi,

I'm faced with replacing the Deep Sky Technology component HTTP  
Client Deux (and the TCP Deux component its based on), since Deep Sky  
appears to have gone on haitus, or something.  Does anyone have any  
pointers to other HTTPS client implementations for 4D?  Many thanks!

Re: HTTPS Client?

Christophe,

I'm using cURL and 4D's Launch External Process with
reasonable success. There are other such third-party
options too.

Search for "curl" in the 4D Technotes section. Both
technotes are free to the public.

Just curious, what aspects of the DS component are you
using?

sincerely,

Another option would be to use 4D Internet Commands.

Bill,

Thanks for the explanation.  I was not grasping the idea of maintaining the
frontmost window within a backgrounded process. :)

I think sheet-style windows are modal. :(

So now I'm imagining the user goes from parent window, to child window, to
another process, then clicks back in the original parent window and you want
to bring the child window to the front.

In addition to this quick look up, what about if you set up 'myfield'  
as an Alpha 32 indexed(?) and put the 'MD5-summary' (using Robs(?)  
MD5 Plugin) of that fields.

1. Define the fields you want to be on your watch list e.g.
	[MyTable]Name
	[MyTable]Firstname
	[MyTable]DOB
	[MyTable]whatever ...

2. put all the content of the fields in a text variable after  
converting if necessary

3. during validation

Hi 

We have just had to do this with our system which is getting replaced soon

Subject: Finding Duplicate Records

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone out there might have a recommendation on 
how to find duplicate records in a table based on a chosen field in a 
very fast / efficient way.

For example, if I have an item tale, I want a list of records where 
the item number is the same in 2 or more records.   OR, I might want 
to use a different field (user selected).

I know about writing a method that loops through the records, sorts, 
compares as it goes, and adds the records to a set, but with 200,000 
records, this just is not practical.   Plus it is not generic, it
