[DUG] hour / minute component
Hi, does anyone know of a component that would allow me to enter hours and or minutes into it. What I'm trying to do is enter how much time a particular action will take. Some things will take just minutes while others will take an hour(s) or more. For example; install a light switch plate = 5 minutes; install a ceiling fan = 45 minutes; repair sheetrock = 1 hour 15 minutes. I will then sum the total amount of time and compute a labor cost for the work to be done. I'm using BDS 2006 and dBase files.

Re: [DUG] hour / minute component
I don't think there is any real standard way to enter either times or time intervals - what I do is use a straight edit box which allows several alternate formats and convert the entry on the onexit event, eg I can allow times like 1:10pm to be entered as 13:10 1:10pm or time intervals can be entered as eg for 1 hour 30 mins 1:30:00 1:30 (may need to be smart here, you may want sometimes to interpret this as 1 min 30 sec) 1h30 Means you have to write your own convert text to time routine, but can make it really smart and easy to enter text into. Never much used mask edit as I found it too puzzling to set up formats for cases like this, the help was not much help. Sunbird (Thunderbird calendar add-on) has a rather neat way to enter times - it gives a list of times through the hour that can be expanded or shrunk to get more detail - but its not standard. I think even if there was a component I might hesitate to use it for the reasons of Will this make it hard to upgrade my Delphi version?

Re: [DUG] Virtual Machines
I have not used firebird for many years.. but i was running it inside VMware for about 3 years with no issues.. I connect to Terminal Services from VMware, but not running it.. I get the impression that all the remote hosted machines running terminal services are infact all in a VMware server environment. I've run 2003 Windows Server from VMware with no issue. Running Delphi apps on VM is no issue at all. been doing 100% everything in VMWare for 6 years. Running on TS can encounter some problems depending on how the program is written, and how you access shared files and registry settings.

Re: [DUG] hour / minute component
I'd suggest a simple edit box that allowed users to enter their times as they can based on some rules. This, if i read you correctly allows a person to enter munutes and/or hours eg : 3h 90m 1h 20m 2d 5h 45m 48h Then process the entry based on the simple rules. If someone enters sething you don't understand, then give a message showing the simple rules and ask them to enter again.

Re: [DUG] hour / minute component
I agree with this. Its the cleanest easiest way to do it. mask edits and stuff always end up being counter productive IMO. it is very easy to use Stringlist Commatext to break it down, then analyze each suffix. even if they type 20m 20m you just have a sum of 40m.

Re: [DUG] hour / minute component
Incidentally I have taken to doing something similar with date entry. An edit box, but in this case I put a little arrow button at the end of it, and clicking that superimposes a date picker over the edit box. Its rather more work but it works really neatly, and can be easily repeated. Date entry is flexible, as a string today could be 5-feb-10 5.2.10 5.2.2010 5/2/10 on exit the date is verified, and the date picker if clicked populates the text field with the first format above. Entering dates like this is very flexible, caters for those who like to use the keyboard and those who like to use the mouse. Using the date picker is especially cool under Vista/Windows 7 as the newer Date picker is really really nice - anyone else noticed that? Means doing something like: (DateTimePicker is normally invisible) procedure Tform1.btnStartDateClick(Sender: TObject); begin DateTimePicker1.left:=edtStartDate.Left; DateTimePicker1.top:=edtStartDate.Top; DateTimePicker1.width:=edtStartDate.width+btnStartDate.Width; DateTimePicker1.Date:=xfAdateToDTDate(edtStartDate.Text); DateTimePicker1.Visible:=true; PickStartOrFin:=1; DateTimePicker1.Perform(WM_SYSKEYDOWN, VK_DOWN, 0); end; //this code handles two separate edit boxes procedure Tform1.DateTimePicker1CloseUp(Sender: TObject); begin if PickStartOrFin=1 then edtStartDate.Text:=xfdtDateToAdate(DateTimePicker1.Date); if PickStartOrFin=2 then edtFinDate.Text:=xfdtDateToAdate(DateTimePicker1.Date); DateTimePicker1.Visible:=false; //redisplay data to reflect new date Redisplay data; end; (the xfDTDatetoADate and xfADatetoDTDate are my library routines to convert between string dates and TDateTime) John___ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
[DUG] Tables
I'm using Absolute database for my Delphi database applications. For what I see, it works much like MS access. I randomly get file locked when editing data . To be honest I have not really got my head around editing and posting. I have several DBGrids showing the same table in several forms, Jobs by account, Jobs by date etc. From a previous reply from this group, I have added a unique number to the Job table. That way I can use the same editing Form for the data independent from which grid it came from. How can I ensure that whenever I'm in the editing routine, the record I'm working on, is in edit mode. Do I put the table in edit mode when I leave the main form and go into the editing form, Do I put it in the editing form with OnShow Which record in which table do I put into edit mode, the one pointing from the DBgrid (Eg Jobs by Account) or the one I found in the source Jobs table from the unique reference?
