Hi Keisuke, Thanks for elaborating on this.
However, I can’t imagine that the only purpose is to open 4D View files, and I am sure that additional functionality will be added in future versions. (at least, that’s what we’ve been told at the summit) It’s just that, at this point, the 4D View Pro spreadsheet is kind of useless if one can’t master the Javascript code to add rows or columns, or import or export to excel, .csv etc. I have looked at the Spread.js documentation, and couldn’t find any examples on how to import or export. I don’t have that much experience with Javascript, like most of the 4D developers. It would be useful to be able to manipulate the rows, columns and cells and fill them with data from 4D arrays or tables, no? Maybe I am just to impatient to use this great new feature… Regards, Rudy Mortier Two Way Communications bvba > On 17 May 2018, at 16:19, Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> > wrote: > > 4D has studied how the classic 4D View plugin has beeb used in various > applications, > and found that there were essentially two distinct usages; "as a list" and > "as a spreadsheet". > > based on that understanding, > two different paths have been defined to carry on the 4D View legacy: > > 1. a set of privileged features for the listbox object (variable line height, > embedded controls, etc) and > 2. a modern spreadsheet application with the capability to open existing 4D > View documents. > > the 2 are completely unrelated features, > except for the fact that they both require 4D View licenses to unlock. > you could say that 4D View has been split into 2 products. > > to use the new 4D View area which is a spreadsheet, > you would typically import existing 4D View documents, or > create new document via the UI and store them as a object or export in Excel > format. > > it does not replace the list type 4D View Pro features, > rather, the 2 features compliments each other. > >> 2018/05/17 18:10、Two Way Communications via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> >> のメール： >> Has anyone played around with 4D View Pro already? >> I tried to put object arrays into the 4D View Pro area, like it was a >> listbox. >> And although it does work with a listbox (4D v16R6), the 4D View Pro area >> stays empty. >> Any idea how to even add columns and rows in 4D View Pro? >> I guess one could use javascript, but how do you get javascript to access >> the object arrays and put the contents into 4D View Pro? > > > > > ********************************************************************** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:[email protected] > ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
