A new feature in 4D Write Pro: “Bookmarks”!

Bookmarks can now be created inside 4D Write Pro documents. But what are bookmarks exactly? A bookmark is a named reference matching a text selection of a 4D Write Pro document.

Several bookmarks can be present inside a single document. Once bookmarks have been created, they can be retrieved as a list of names, then using one of them allows retrieve the range of the corresponding text.

Of course, bookmarks can also be deleted. And deleting a bookmark does not affect the document in any way.

To manage these bookmarks, 4 new commands have been created in order to handle them by programming:

• WP CREATE BOOKMARK
• WP GET BOOKMARKS
• WP Get bookmark range
• WP DELETE BOOKMARK

The 4D Write Pro widget has also been updated to manage them without any programming.

This panel allows to

• create bookmarks based on text selection
• delete one bookmark selected in the list
• update an existing bookmark (according to a new text selection)

An example illustrating the use of these new commands is available: Example Database.

To get more details about the bookmark concept, please take a look at the Accessing document contents by programming section in the 4D Write Pro v16 reference manual.
