3. Tech Note Central

This week's topic: Dynamic Detail Forms

This Technical Note uses new features of 4D v11 SQL to build a solution to the problem of creating forms on the fly. Dynamic Detail Forms are created with HTML, then a mix of 4D commands and JavaScript are used to handle form events. They are then displayed in 4D v11 SQL’s Web Area, and the Web Area’s JavaScript execution feature is used to get data from the HTML form. This Technical Note includes a component that offers an “out of the box” solution with a simple detail form. There are also shared component methods which can be used in your own custom detail forms.


This is only a sample of the many valuable Tech Notes that are available to 4D Partners in the 4D Knowledgebase. There are many more advantages to becoming a 4D Partner. Visit 4D Partner Central for more information.
