Gratuitous Image4D 2004 Macro Pack

Macro Pack is a component that contains seventeen macros designed to help increase your productivity when programming in the 4D 2004 environment! This guide describes each of the Macros in Macro Pack and demonstrates how to use them.

What is a Macro?

A macro is a section of 4D code that is permanently accessible and that can be inserted anywhere in your methods. Macros are stored in an XML format (text) file. They can contain all types of 4D text, commands and constants, as well as special tags which are replaced at the time of macro insertion by values derived from the method context. You can now use the 4th Dimension 2004 Method editor to generate and use macros that execute 4D project methods. This allows developers to create sophisticated functions broadcast using macro-commands linked to components. To call 4D code within a method, a new double tag has been added to the 4th Dimension 2004 macro language: <method> </method>. For more information on macros, please see the 4D 2004 Upgrade Reference Manual.
