Where have I been - Head down Bottom Up!
I Now have an 'ObjectServer' which is a generic store of Delphi Object Data
(in Text Format in a MemoField) keyed by ClassName / ObjectID
My Case Tool (xCase) generates an entry for each 'MetaField' ie
TMetaField/Client.ClientID/ DisplayLabel = 'Client ID'.....
My MetaServer pulls all the TMetaField types into a 'MetaServer' and
When opening an 'Entity' (ADOQuery) all the fields are updated from the
MetaServer...voila
Now I'm working on Auto Captioning my DB Editing Components from the
MetaData
Further Uses for the 'ObjectServer' well...
1/ User Specific Menus - TMainMenu/Menu.UserID/...
2/ Persistence of User Customised Forms (I Have to work out how to derive a
differential DFM)
3/ Who Knows
TTFN
