OPEN 4D PREFERENCES (selector)
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
| selector | String |  | Key designating a theme or a page or a |
| group of parameters in the Preferences | |||
| dialog box |
Description
The OPEN 4D PREFERENCES command provokes the display of the Preferences dialog box of the current 4th Dimension application and the display of the theme or page corresponding to the key passed in selector.
The selector parameter must contain one or more "keys" indicating a theme, page or group of parameters in the Preferences dialog box. The list of keys that can be used is provided below.
You can pass either a fixed access path or the name of a single element in selector:
• Fixed access path: The selector parameter is put together in the following manner: /Theme{/Page{/Parameter group}}.
The string must start with the / character and each level must be separated with a /.
For example, to set the Compiler page of the Design Mode theme, selector must contain "/Design Mode/Compiler".
• Name (relative path): In this case, the selector parameter cannot start with the / character. Simply pass the name of the desired element and 4th Dimension will open the first corresponding element in the following search order: parameter group -> page-> theme.
For example, if you pass "Progress Indicator" in selector, 4th Dimension will open the Options page of the Application theme.
To open the dialog box directly on the first page, simply pass "/" in selector.
The command opens the Preferences page on the element specified in selector; however, all other themes and pages remain accessible. It is up to the developer to make sure that user access to Preferences does not hinder the application. To control user actions, it is recommended that you enable the user access management system.
