Balloons.ext is an external package for use with 4th Dimension. It is a
freeware utility that enables localized Balloon Help and changing Balloon
Help messages during runtime. With the package, you can display text from
string resources and 4th Dimension variables. You can also display styled
text and pictures.
T o i n s t a l l t h e p a c k a g e
Copy the package with the 4D External Mover into your structure file. The
package will work with 4D Server, 4th Dimension 3.0 or higher and System
7.0 or higher.
T o u s e t h e p a c k a g e
You do not need to call any external procedures. The package installs
itself automatically during startup. You can specify Balloon Help for
objects in a layout by clicking the 'Balloon Help' button in the object
info dialog. See the 4D Design Reference for details. You can specify
dynamic balloon help the same way as you would do it for static text
elements.
R e s o u r c e B a l l o o n s
To display the contents of a STR# resource, say string 1 of resource 15000,
you set the Balloon Help text to
:15000,1
The STR# resource should be in your structure or .res file, otherwise no
balloon will be shown.
To display the contents of a PICT resource, say resource 15000, you set the
Balloon Help text to
:P15000
To display the contents of a styled text resource, say resource 15000, you
set the Balloon Help text to
:T15000
Styled text resources are a combination of 'TEXT' and 'styl' resources.
They can be created easily with ResEdit.
To display the contents of a 'STR ' resource, say 15000, you set the
Balloon help text to
:S15000
V a r i a b l e B a l l o o n s
Displaying variables enables you to change the balloon help message
according to the state of your program. For example, if a checkbox is
checked you might display a different help message for it then when it is
unchecked. This significantly improves the effectiveness of balloon help.
To display the value of a 4D variable, say myVariable, you set the Balloon
Help text to
The balloon will show the value of process and interprocess (=D7) variables
of type C_STRING or C_TEXT. If the variable is not defined (e.g. in Design
Mode), or not of the correct type, the balloon will display the name of the
variable. If the variable is of type C_TEXT, only the first 255 characters
of the text will be shown.

Subject: BLOBMgr v.1.0
Liam,
This is version 1.0 of BLOBMgr. It should go to the 4d archive.
Here is a short description of the package:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4th Dimension(R) provides a big variety of data types: text, numeric,
date, time, pictures and even subfiles! However, it lacks a binary
variable-length data type known as BLOB (BINARY LARGE OBJECT).
BLOBs are quite common in other DBMSes and they are mostly used for
storing disk files in databases.
BLOBMgr External Kit is a set of routines that give 4th Dimension(R) the
capability of storing (and retrieving) any kind of Macintosh(R) disk
files in the form of BLOBs. Picture variables and fields are used for
storing BLOBs.

Subject: ComboBox 1.2
This is version 1.2 of Pensacola Christian College's freeware ComboBox
external area for 4th Dimension. The following changes have been made
since the 1.1.1 release:
o Enabled the Paste menu item when appropriate.
o Made sure that the selected item in the list box always stays in sync
with the text in the editable area.
o Closed the list box window on the first idle event after the layout
window is moved.
o Used the black & white PICT resource for the popup-indicator button
on display devices having four (4) or fewer colors.
o Eliminated the last vestiges of the dead scroll bar problem.
o Allowed string arrays to be used for CB_FillLst() rather than requiring
all arrays to be of type text.
o Added CB_GetContRef() function to make ComboBox compatible with
Foresight Technology's "Container" and Automated Solutions Group's
"Habitat."
o Added DrawBox flag to CB_DefSetFlags() and CB_SetFlags().
o Made the list window show up in the right place (above vs. below the
area) even on monitors other than the main monitor.
o Started using the real arrow cursor.
o Corrected a bug in which a compiled database would execute the
ComboBox's script twice when a button was clicked, considering it
unmodified both times.
o Fixed a bug where the text-entry area did not reflect the new size
after the font was changed.

Funny you should say that I was going to send it to you anyway. :-) I
didn't include the ACI one simply because this one does more. The ACI one
used a default box size when you were dragging and could only handle I
think 10 active drop areas. This one has two commands one draggs the text
wiht a default box the other takes the dimentions of the drag box as
parameters and doesn't have a maximun limit. The package includes some more
stuff as well.

AddHMenu(Int1;Int2;Str3;Str4;Int5)
This external adds a hierarchical menu onto a menu item in a normal 4D menu.
Int1 is the "Parent" menu ID.
Int2 is the "Parent" item ID.
Str3 is the title for the submenu (this is unused now, pass anything.)
Str4 is the Item list for the submenu (items in a string separated by semicolons, metacharacters can be used.)
Int5 is the ID to give the new submenu - must be between 3 and 1023 - be careful to avoid conflicts with existing menus!!
Use this external ONLY with menus that will be trapped for using the Menu Selected command (i.e. menus you would use while in a layout procedure.) The submenu items cannot call 4D globals!
eg.
AddHMenu(2;3;"title";
"One;Two;Three";5)
will add a submenu to item 3 of menu 2 (the one immediately after the "Edit" menu). The submenu will contain three items, labeled "One", "Two", and "Three". Any menu selection in the submenu will return a menu ID of 5.
Some Metacharacters are
"!" - item has a check mark eg. "!%"
"/" - item has a kbd equiv. eg "/A"
"(" - item is disabled
"-" - item is a dividing line

From: Christian Quest
Subject: Internet ToolKit for 4D (ITK) v2.0.3 update/demo
Here is version 2.0.3 of Internet ToolKit for 4D (best known as ITK).
Internet ToolKit is also available on it's FTP server at:
ftp://ftp.internet-toolkit.com/pub/itk/
As usual, updated documentation can be found on ITK's Web server.
For general information about Internet ToolKit check ITK's homepage at:
http://www.internet-toolkit.com/
What is Internet ToolKit for 4D ?
=================================
ITK is an 4D external package that provides full TCP and UDP support
directly inside 4D's language plus a lot of other useful routines to
encode/decode data into Internet standards (HTML, ISO, URL, etc)...
What can you do with Internet ToolKit ?
=======================================
In a few words, any kind of internet client or server application (email,
ftp, www, dns, gopher, news, etc) because ITK offers a low level access to
TCP/IP and UDP. ITK transforms 4D into real server, not just a CGI.
ITK is a commercial product published by AJAR (http://www.ajar.ch/)
directly through the Internet. For North America, ITK is distributed
by Soft Solutions Inc (http://www.softsinc.com/), in Japan by K's
Room (http://www.ksroom.com/) and in France/Belgium by e-node
(http://e-node.fr/).
This version of ITK will automatically run in demo mode if you do not
provide ITK a valid licence number. To get your ITK licence number, use
ITK's order form available at:
http://www.internet-toolkit.com/itk_order_form.html

of the features of a Scrollable area. It has advantages over both.

NoWhiteSpace(Thestring;ValidChars;UpShift)
NoWhiteSpace processes a string (TheString) and returns it with all "whitespace" characters removed. You pass a list of valid (non- whitespace) characters in the ValidChars string.
Pass 1 in UpShift to automatically Uppercase the returned string. Passing 0 in UpShift means that the external will differentiate between upper and lowercase letters and thus both sets should be passed in ValidChars.
TheString & ValidChars have a maximum length of 255 characters.

From: brian@HARPO.AMPR.AB.CA (Brian Hutchison)
Subject: PlayString External update
This is an update to the PlayString external for 4th Dimension. The
original had occasional crashing problems when used with the new Apple
Sound Manager 3.0. This file should replace the original in the appropriate
archive.
PlayString is a free and simple external procedure for 4th Dimension that
will play sounds associated with characters in a string. The sounds and
characters used by PlayString are user configurable. PlayString also allows
control of the Macintosh sound volume.
Some possible uses are:
Dialing the phone
Reading characters aloud
Creating Voicemail-type messages
Enjoy!

Subject: ProcHeader 1.0b7 Now Available!
Logical Inventions, the creators of TextArea Plus and Gadgets, is proud to
announce "ProcHeader", a new and FREE external package that automatically
inserts a procedurraly-defined header into new procedures, layout procedures
and scripts.
One call to the "SetProcHeader(Header; User; SendAE)" command at startup will
automatically insert the specified text into each new procedure/script window
as it is opened. The text can contain any of five pre-defined macros that will
be expanded as they are inserted. Macros include the window's title, object
name, user, date and time. The syntax for the "SetProcHeader" command is listed
below. An AppleEvent can optionally be sent to 4D containing the window title
and procedure text whenever a procedure window is opened or closed. This
feature can be used in conjunction with an AppleEvent external package such
as System 7 Pack from ISIS Software to implement a simple version control or
backup system.
The product is currently in an open-beta and is now available at
ftp.inventions.com and should be available on Compuserve within the next day or
two.
An example database containing a demo of System 7 Pack is also included.
The database demonstrates a very basic version control / backup system.
Enjoy!

extensive customizability of 4D databases.
Version 1.0.4: change in the way I open and close files to be really, really

Subject: Timers BinHex
Timers, free, uses the Time Manager to get accurate timings with a
resolution of at most a millisecond, down to 20 microseconds,
depending on your hardware. Much more precise and accurate than
counting ticks because it doesn't get "paused" if interrupts are
disabled. Includes Think C source code.
