Interface page
You use the Interface page to set various options related to the database interface. This area provides the following display option:
You use this area to set various options concerning database display. You use the Font and Size menus to specify the font and size of characters used in certain parts of the 4D database:
The default font and its size depend on the platform where 4D is running. Other options configure the display of various windows in the Application mode.
You use the Shortcuts area for viewing and modifying default shortcuts for three basic 4D operations: Accept input form, Cancel input form and Add to subform. These shortcuts are identical for both platforms. Icons in the form of keys indicate the corresponding Windows and Mac OS keys. The default shortcuts are as follows:
To change the shortcut of an operation, click the corresponding Edit button. The following dialog box appears: To change the shortcut, type the new key combination on your keyboard and click OK. If you prefer not to have a shortcut for an operation, click the Clear button. The term “right-to-left language” refers to those languages that are read from right to left, like Arabic for example. 4D includes extended support for right-to-left languages under Windows. When you activate the “right-to-left” mode, the 4D database interface (forms and menus) are automatically inverted in Application mode. This is valid only under Windows. There is no equivalent function under MacOS X. This inversion concerns not only the direction text objects are read from within, but also graphic objects, the position of objects in forms, window titles and buttons, the location of menus, and so on. Note: In current versions of 4D, the inverted mode is not available for the printing of forms. The Inversion of objects in Application mode option is used to activate and configure the “right-to-left” mode at the general database level. There are three options that can be used to configure the activation of this mode according to the context in which the database is executed:
When you modify this option, it is immediately applied to the database (after validation of the Settings). Notes:
