Writing scheduling software in 4D has historically been tedious, labor intensive and difficult to maintain. SchedulePack version 4 removes the hair splitting tedium while delivering an exceptional, interactive visual medium for calendars.
Developers will appreciate its purpose: To minimize their development time while transforming complex data into a viable, highly usable interactive information management tool. Please review the features below to see how it can help you.
Introducing The One Month View
The One Month View is the newest member of the SchedulePack view options.
The One Month View includes:
- Built-in drag and drop & double-click capabilities for multi-day banners and all other scheduled events.
- Newly added support for both daily and event-based pictures. With the new optimized event formatting via linear programming-based algorithms, day formats are intelligently organized to handle both overcrowded and mixed event-type days.
- Complete formatting w/ foreground & background colors, icons & text.
- Every event has direct access to a contextual-based menu & custom callback programming options, making all of these capabilities instantly accessible to end-users.
- Unicode support under 4D v11.
- Advanced Properties support; Minimizing the developers setup time.
Introducing the version 4 interactive time-line
The interactive time line view organizes activies for any number of resources across multiple days...
An innovative v4 time-line feature enables 4D developers to list resources & icons in the left-most columns and show each resource's scheduled time across multiple days.
Using either records or arrays, 4D developers can easily solve a variety of difficult scheduling problems visually, given their complete programmatic control over all resource objects and labels.
Designed so your end-users can see conflicts visually and correct them interactively, your applications will deliver the power to keep them informed and in control. Now with access to v4 contextual menus throughout all primary SchedulePack areas, end-users can get more work done faster and with less effort.
A record and/or array-based solution, 4D developers have complete control over data, text, fonts, size, date and time ranges , headers, labels, background, attributes & color.
Introducing Contextual Menus
Contextual Menus simplify an end-users life.
Imagine the power an end-user will experience by giving them the ability to Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete and Duplicate events as well as perform any other application specific event requirement by issuing a simple control-click on any object they want to change.
4D developers can quickly add this capability to most SchedulePack areas, because the plug-in arrives with the above-options built-in - without any coding! Alternatively, for those that must move heaven and earth and put endless capabilities at an end-users fingertips, callback methods are only a call away.
The SchedulePack Chart Tool
The SchedulePack Chart Tool
The Chart Tool provides 4D developers a simple, effective one day display tool. Resource names show in the left hand margin while showing their blocks of scheduled time for a single day from left to right. This tool serves as an abbreviated version of the SchedulePack time-line feature.
An array-based solution, 4D developers have complete control over data, text, fonts, size and attributes & color.
Designed so your end-users can have it "their way", you can now provide and print specific scheduling information in an informative and innovative manner.
The SchedulePack Resource View
The Resource View allows the SchedulePack engine to deliver an organized visual medium enabling end-users to instantly spot resource conflicts, make necessary changes and get on about their day-to-day business. At the heart and soul of this relational search engine tool is the Resource view, enabling end-users to manage complex data more easily. People, Rooms, and all other resources can finally take front stage on a calendar, where they belong. Designed to eliminate coding nightwares, the Resource view provides ultimate end-user and programmer flexibility by automatically reassigning Resource ID's when end users work through what-if scenarios.
4D v11, 2004 and Macintosh OS X (Snow Leopard) and full Windows Vista and 7 Support - Fast, innovative and simplified 4D Scheduling has never been easier - and version 4 works for both the new and experienced developer as well as the simple and sophisticated end-user. Click, move or stretch a colored object to edit a database record. Option-click to change colors. SchedulePack is just warming up.
It’s simple, easy and compelling for Users. It’s fast & powerful for developers. Most databases can integrate complete scheduling with multiple views capability in a day.
The SchedulePack Dates View
Programmatic overlap control Event overlaps are handled intelligently, within all SchedulePack areas.
Developer Display control SchedulePack 4 provides a greater degree of developer control over complex 4D scheduling areas while adding support for Macintosh OS X. Providing full search and display control over the scheduling data presented, 4D Developers can display or print specific data, giving users exactly what they need while hiding unnecessary data.
Using the Macintosh OS X Color wheel, the 4D v11 Developer has control over millions of colors and the gradient fill option which provides a beautifully tapered color fill.

Licensing FAQ for v4
Q. What is required for SchedulePack v4 to work on my system?
A: To run SchedulePack v4 on your system, it is necessary to have the following licensing in place:
Developer licensing is required to work with the SchedulePack plug-in within a 4D developer environment running in interpreted mode.
To develop a 4D application, under 4th Dimension or 4D Server, a developer license is required for each platform developed on (Macintosh or Windows).
Deployment licensing is required to run compiled 4D applications under 4D server, 4D Engine or both.
A deployment license is required for any platform where a compiled 4D application is running on 4D Server.
There are two types of deployment licenses:
- Individual 4D Deployment licenses can be purchased for one 4D Server (with a unique 4D Server serial number). 4D Developers can obtain the individual 4D Server serial number (it is unique) using the 4D "Get Serial Information" command. This licensing is aimed at single 4D applications running on one 4D server and does not have an expiration date.
- OEM Deployment licenses can be purchased for 1 year for an unlimited number of 4D Server applications. Under this licensing, the deployment license runs for a 1 year term. This licensing is available for 4D vertical market applications. In version 4, intermittent reminder dialog boxes do not appear on compiled 4D Client / Server vertical market applications, however, licenses still in operation after their expiration write alert messages to a dedicated server to notify Soft Solutions of the illegally operating license and associated developer. For this reason, annual deployment licensing renewal is necessary for 4D developers to legally deploy a 4D Server-based application once the previous license expires.

SchedulePack v4.05 Release
| v11 Demo | 4D 2004 Mac/Win Demo | Documentation |
|---|
v4.05 May 21st, 2010:
Additions:
- A new "transparency" capability has been added on Macintosh OS X (only). We added a new parameter at the end of "SXEventOpt". It is an integer that represents the transparency percent (a value from 0 to 100, or -1), where 0 is no transparency, and 100 is fully transparent. A value of -1 reflects no change. We are researching how to add this capability on Windows.
v4.04 April 28th, 2010:
Changes:
- Fixed and optimized monthly calendar printing on Windows.
v4.02 & 4.03 April 21st, 2010:
Changes:
- Fixed crashing when printing on Windows.
- Fixed 'SXGetLocationInfo' for Timeline View.
- Fixed 'SXkDoRefresh' to return the correct value.
- Fixed refreshing from callback for the Timeline View.
- New variables have been introduced that are used for the contextual menu
(see below).
New contextual menu variables:
'SX_LabelNewEvent'
'SX_LabelPasteEvent'
'SX_LabelCut'
'SX_LabelCopy'
'SX_LabelPaste'
'SX_LabelDelete'
'SX_LabelDuplicate'
These variables are automatically assigned English values (respectively):
"New Event"
"Paste Event"
"Cut"
"Copy"
"Paste"
"Delete"
"Duplicate"
A 4D programmer can assign the localized text to each variable appropriate for their language (which might be done at startup). A few examples for French are:
SX_LabelCut:="Couper"
SX_LabelCopy:="Copier"
SX_LabelPaste:="Coller"
See the SchedulePack 4.0.3 documentation for further explanations and proper use.
v4.01 January 20th, 2010:
Corrects a bug where the maximum length of the "Summary" field value is used, and some of the characters have an ASCII value greater than 127.
Added a new command: "SXGetLocationInfo" which returns location information when given horizontal & vertical pixel offsets from the top-left corner of the SchedulePack area.
v4.0 December, 2009: See v4 product release notes
