View properties in 4D Write Pro

From 4D v16, you can define at design phase the way a 4D Write Pro document will be displayed in a 4D Write Pro area. Without writing a single line of code, you can define several view attributes such as the resolution, zoom, page view mode. Advanced properties are also available to define whether you want to show 4D expressions or values for instance. Again no code to write, just a checkbox and it’s done.

These new properties gives you an opportunity to highly customize the view of your 4D Write Pro documents: as it would be printed or as it would be rendered in a browser…and even have a different view of the same document in the same form.

Here is the list of available properties that can be defined using the property list:

• Resolution
• Zoom
• View mode
• Show / hide page frame
• Show / hide references
• Show / hide headers
• Show / hide footers
• Show / hide background
• Show / hide hidden characters
• Enable / disable HTML WYSIWYG

If you want to know more about this feature, we suggest you take a look at the following example:
