Flash news about 4D Write Pro and anchored images
Flash news: 4D Write Pro anchored images now support 4D Expressions!
Since 4D v16 R6, it’s been possible to add anchored images to 4D Write Pro documents. Once inserted, these images were static, either defined with a picture variable (or field), or by a picture path. Today, you have more flexibility: a valid 4D expression can also be associated to an anchored picture!
Change the properties of several methods at once by code
We know that sometimes you want to change the properties of multiple methods without having to open the property dialog for each method.
For example, you want to set all methods to “Can be run in preemptive mode” status, then compile your database. So with compilation errors, you get an overview of the methods to modify to be preemptive.
Using the METHOD GET NAMES command to retrieve the list of methods from your database, and then using the METHOD SET ATTRIBUTES command to modify the attributes, lets you modify them all at the same time!

Table pagination in 4D Write Pro
Tables are a great feature in 4D Write Pro since they open a whole new world of possibilities. Their flexibility allows them to hold as many rows and columns as needed, and the cells can contain paragraphs and pictures.
Things just got even better with 4D v17 R2 thanks to a new feature: table pagination! And you don’t have to manage the pagination yourself, it’ll be fully automatic. No more counting rows to check a page’s size or orientation. From now on, the tables are dynamically split when a page or a column break occurs.
Security and Data Protection with 4D v17 – Thomas from the 4D Summit 2018
Security and Data Protection is an incredibly important topic and yet it’s often overlooked until something goes wrong!
4D is secure, straight out of the box, thanks to the integration of the latest technologies and practices such as:
Preemptive Web Services Server and Client
Preemptive Web Services allow your applications to take full advantage of multi-core computers resulting in faster responses for simultaneous requests. It’s not only powerful, it’s also easy: from the Method Properties of any method, just select the “Can be run in preemptive processes” option and you’re off and running!
A 4D method can be preemptive or not according to compilation options and the use of the language, as explained in this post.
