Design picDesigned for Maximum Productivity

The key to any successful business is getting the most from your always too-limited resources. Whether you’re a single-developer company or a large enterprise, the same rule applies. That is, the more efficiently you and your employees can work, the more successful and profitable your organization will be.

Our engineers designed 4D 2004 with your success and profit in mind. The result is a streamlined and versatile application optimized to not only ensure maximum productivity for developers, but also to ensure that the applications they develop with 4D 2004 provide the rich, intuitive user interface that end users need to maximize their production.

Better Application Design with 4D 2004

New Design Environment

4D 2004 boasts an all-new Design environment created to boost developer productivity. New features such as the ability to group objects into modules in the Explorer window are designed to accommodate the way modern applications are built. A new toolbox provides the convenience of one-click access to the myriad collection of tools developers frequently use. The new Design environment shows just one of the ways 4D 2004 was designed with developer productivity in mind!!

New Form Editor

4D 2004 features a completely new Form editor. Designed for the 21st Century developer, the Form editor offers many new features, including intelligent resizing, drill click, zoom, a new ergonomically designed object property list, and many other features that will help you design your forms with the maximum of speed.

New Form Objects

4D 2004 not only boasts a brand new Design environment, it empowers developers to create rich, beautiful designs for their own applications. Armed with powerful new objects, such as the List Box, new 3D Buttons and tri-state checkboxes, developers can create native, graphically-rich and powerful applications. Coupled with new window types such as sheets and pop-up windows, and new functionality such as image masks, 4D developers are now equipped with all the tools necessary to create truly powerful applications very quickly and efficiently.

New Record List Handling

Lists of records, whether output forms or subforms, have been radically redesigned in 4D 2004. Subforms now have all the power and functionality of regular forms. Powerful new features have also been added to give both output forms and subforms even more functionality than ever before. Designing powerful applications is now easier than ever with the new powerful list of records features in 4D 2004.
