OPEN 4D PREFERENCES
| OPEN 4D PREFERENCES ( selector {; access} ) | ||||||||
| Parameter | Type | Description | ||||||
| selector | String |
|
Key designating a theme or a page or a group of parameters in the Preferences or Settings dialog box | |||||
| access | Boolean |
|
True=Lock the other pages of the dialog box False or omitted=Leave the other pages of the dialog box active | |||||
The OPEN 4D PREFERENCES command opens the Preferences dialog box of 4D or the Database Settings of the current 4D application and displays the parameters or the page corresponding to the key passed in selector.
The selector parameter must contain a “key” indicating the dialog box and the page to opened. This key is constructed as follows: /Dialog{/Page{/Parameters}}. Dialog indicates the dialog box to be displayed: you can pass "4D" (for the Preferences) or "Database" (for Database Settings). For example, to indicate the Compiler page of the Database Settings, selector should contain "/Database/Compiler". The list of keys that can be used is provided below. If you just pass a slash ("/") in selector, the command displays the first page of the Database Settings dialog box.
The access parameter lets you control user actions in the Preferences or Database Settings dialog box by locking the other pages. Typically, you may want for the user to be able to customize certain parameters while preventing others from being modified. In this case, passing True in the access parameter means that only the page specified by the selector parameter will be active and modifiable, while access to all other pages will be locked (clicking on the buttons in the navigation bar will have no effect). If you pass False or omit the access parameter, all the pages of the dialog box will be accessible with no restriction.
If you pass an invalid key, the first page of the Database Settings dialog box is displayed.
The following is a list of keys that can be used in the selector parameter:
/4D
/4D/General
/4D/Structure
/4D/Form editor
/4D/Method editor
/4D/Client-Server
/4D/Shortcuts
