Commands Page  


 

 

The Commands page displays all built-in 4D commands, grouped by theme. It is the same as the list of commands shown in the Method editor.

You can use this page to access on-line documentation for the commands and the preview area displays information about the command syntax.

You can access the on-line (HTML) documentation of 4D directly from the Commands page by double-clicking on a command name. The corresponding HTML page will then be displayed in your browser.

HTML documentation pages can be stored on a CD-Rom, a DVD, on your hard disk, or can come directly from the 4D, Inc. Web site. The location from which the page is loaded is defined in the “Documentation Location” area of the user Preferences (see the General Page section). By default, 4D will connect to the 4D Doc Center Web site.

When the preview area is open, it displays the number of the selected command and a description of the command syntax.

Note: The command number is used by the Command name function.

If you do not want to display the syntax, click on the command name while holding down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key.

The list area of the Explorer also displays help tips containing the number and syntax of commands:

These help tips are the same as the ones displayed in the editing area of the Method editor.

You can add a command to a method using drag and drop by selecting the desired command in the Explorer and dragging it to the Method editor window. In this case, the command and its syntax are inserted at the same time.
