Description

The OBJECT GET SUBFORM command gets the name(s) of the form(s) associated with the subform object designated by the object and * parameters.

If you pass the optional * parameter, this indicates that the object parameter is an object name (a string). If you do not pass this parameter, this indicates that the object is a variable. In this case, you pass a variable reference instead of a string.

In the tablePtr parameter, the command returns a pointer to the table of the form(s) used. If the subform uses a project form, this parameter contains Is nil pointer.

In the detailSubform and (optionally) listSubform parameters, the command returns:

  • the form name if the subform was created in the 4D form editor.
  • the subform's "name" attribute if the subform was created from a .json file or a 4D object.
    In both cases, if the "name" attribute is undefined, the command will return:
    • for a .json file, the name of the .json file (without extension)
    • for an object, "untitled"

If there is no list form, an empty string is returned in the listSubform parameter.
