QPix v2.2x

An image database step by step


Chapter index | Step: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6

Step 1: Install QuickTime, register QPix


QPix requires a full installation of the latest version of QuickTime. While still editing the On Startup database method, we should check the currently installed QuickTime version.

The code snippet below informs the user and quits 4D if a version earlier than 5 is installed:

    `Check QuickTime version
    C_STRING(63;$QTVersion)

    $error:=QPx_GetQuickTimeVersion($QTVersion) 

    If (Num(Substring($QTVersion;5))<Num("0500"))

      ALERT("QuickTime 5 or later is not installed!";"Quit")
      QUIT 4D

    End if

To use QPix without the 30-minute evaluation limit, first buy a Developer license for your development platform, and install the license key that you will get in your database by following the license key installation instructions.
