Constants Page

The Constants page contains a hierarchical list of all the constants that can be used in methods. You can see the value of the highlighted constant either in the preview area when it is expanded, or using help tips displayed in the list area.

The constants displayed may come from 4D, plug-ins or custom resources. For information on using constants in methods, see the ARRAY TO SELECTION section in the 4D Language Reference manual.

Using Drag and Drop

You use constants frequently in your methods. Instead of typing the constant you can add it to a method from the Explorer by selecting it in the list and dragging it to the Method editor window. By default, the constants are underlined when the Method editor parses the line of code.
