Great, thanks. I'm interested to put this in the Windows distribution
if this are out of beta.
After an short look i have an few suggestion in case you are
interested:
- You could pass some environment variables to RunSync.exe
- plkr-nonag : set to true and you will not be promoted for an key
press. (No need to set the close_on_* ini keys)
- plkr-timeout : Set the time in secondes after the DB build time
out in all cases. Maybe an good idea for an conduit.
(Yes i really should write the infos somewhere in the readmes :-)
You need the updated ones: http://www.dirk-heiser.de/Plucker_upd.zip
But this will in next release.
- You may could add an Checkbox to run the console mode windows
hidden. I'm doing this with by calling the program with create
process, by this i get also the return code (<>0 there are an
error):
Var
SUInfo : TStartupInfo;
ProcInfo : TProcessInformation;
Err : Boolean;
SWPath : String;
Ret : Integer;
FillChar(SUInfo, SizeOf(SUInfo), #0);
with SUInfo do
begin
cb := SizeOf(SUInfo);
dwFlags := STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW; //Dont do this to see the
wShowWindow := SW_HIDE; //Window
end;
Err := CreateProcess(NIL,
PChar(Qoute(SWPath+'RunSync.exe')+' '+Qoute(Param)),
NIL, NIL, True, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, nil,
PChar(SWPath),
SUInfo, ProcInfo);
{ Wait for it to finish. }
if Err then
Begin
WaitForSingleObject(ProcInfo.hProcess, INFINITE);
GetExitCodeProcess(ProcInfo.hProcess,Ret);
If Ret<>0 Then Halt(Ret); // Here are the return code
End
Else Halt(3 SHL 8); //Error starting RunSync
- You do not need ask the user for the RunSync.exe location, you could
read the Plucker home from:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\The Plucker Team\Plucker\Path
Then RunSync.exe are located in this directory.
- Does writing the ini to the Windir work on all systems (user
rights)? Maybe an Plucker Subdirectory in the users directory (the
subdir of the Palm SW dir) are an better choice? Or may you could use
an new key in the channel plicker.ini "update_on_sync" (In this case
plucker-desktop could modify this info also from his GUI (Checkbox
update on sync) later)?
- BTW: The rule to get a list of all DB handles are:
All subdirs of the Plucker dir that follow this mask: "*.DB" and
having an file called "plucker.ini" inside are Plucker Channels.
I'm doing it in this way:
Procedure GetDBList(Var DBs:TStringList);
VAR
SearchRec : TSearchRec;
Found : Longint;
Begin
DBs.Clear;
Found := FindFirst ( ExpandFileName(ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0)))+'*.*', faDirectory,
SearchRec);
WHILE Found = 0 DO
BEGIN
If SearchRec.Attr AND faDirectory > 0 Then
If (SearchRec.Name <> '.') and (SearchRec.Name <> '..') Then
If (UpperCase(ExtractFileExt(SearchRec.Name)) = '.DB') and
(FileExists(ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0))+SearchRec.Name+'\plucker.ini')) Then
DBs.Add(Copy(SearchRec.Name,1,Length(SearchRec.Name)-Length('.DB')));
Found := FindNext ( SearchRec );
END;
FindClose ( SearchRec );
End;
(Sure replace ParamStr(0) with the plucker path)
cu,
Dirk
