Re: [DUG] Code Insight D2010 win 7
Hi Ian, I remember having this problem when I first started using 2010 after upgrading from delphi 7 the unfortunate part is I can't remember what I did exactly to solve it? I do remember that the code insight would work on some parts of the unit but not others and I think this is what lead me to find the issue, so try using code insight right at the top of your unit and see if that works and then divide and conquer. Does code insight work if you create a brand new project? I also remember starting up a new project and then resaving the project to the name of my project and using the droj from this as a template as I don't think the automatic upgrade thing from the dpr to the dproj worked right (not 100%), but might help?

[DUG] Structure view disappears from debug desktop
Hi All, I'm about to submit a bug report to Embarcadero but I just wanted to see if anyone else has this problem as well. When I'm debugging my structure pane disappears. I've correctly setup and then told it to use a particular desktop for my debugging but it doesn't matter what I do (undock it, pin it) it just disappears as soon as you start debugging. I noticed this problem in 2007 as well and I know it's only a minor but quite frankly I've noticed a lot of minor ide problems that are starting to add up and frustrate me a bit.

[DUG] Code Completion not working
Hi, We're currently using Delphi 2007 and have downloaded the trial version of 2010 and code completion just doesn't want to work? Has anyone else had this problem, I saw on Quality Central that there were a few people using 2009 that had this problem. It's definitely something to do with the project (the 2007 project loaded into 2010) because if I start a new project code completion works fine.

Re: [DUG] Code Completion not working
Thanks for that John, I managed to solve the problem, so keep this one on hand for any of you that are looking at upgrading from Delphi 07 to 2010. I did make a copy of our 2007 directory and it's to do with the .dproj file and maybe the directories? Anyway I just created a new project in Delphi 2010 and saved the project with the same name as the one in which the code completion wasn't working but into a separate directory, this created a new .dproj file. I made a copy of the current .dproj file (the one from Delphi 2007) and then replaced it with the one I just made in 2010. Then you recompile it and re-add any directories into its search path and then code completion works. I did a comparison between the old and the new one but I couldn't tell who the culprit was.

The ways to fix this are edit the files or delete them and allow Delphi to recreate them. I wrote a search and replace program to search for paths and replace them - this is another option - if its any use email me and I can send it. Also check the project options to see if there are old paths there. If you did not move the source to a different path then these suggestions will not apply, although the delete old non-essential files may fix it - will be similar to starting a new project. refer to http://delphi.wikia.com/wiki/Delphi_File_Extensions for a comprehensive list of delphi extensions and what stores what, there are lots in D2007 for instance, too many to remember. It also tells you which can be deleted (the ones not to keep in source control). I had all sorts of issues like this moving from D2006 to D2007, but mainly because I also copied the source to a new folder.

Re: [DUG] Everyone aware of the Delphi roadmap presentationon 27thmay?
Well I was glad to hear about project X, the timing is just unfortunate though as we are already half way through converting our Kylix code to c++ as we were under the impression it was a dead duck and we can't really afford to wait how many days/years for it to come out? Anyway I'd also like to mention that our windows based applications have always used Delphi and I love the language, the only thing that I get frustrated about is that there seems to be an increase in bugs in what I would consider basic functionality. We upgraded from Delphi 7 to Delhi 2007 and noticed a lot of bugs mainly to do with the IDE (i.e. structure view not updating, forms not getting sent to back, tool palette switching to project wizards while trying to place components...), I did submit quite a few bugs which could be replicated and even after downloading the 2009 trial I noticed that they are still there. Anyway I'd just like to say that our company would gladly pay money for a new version even if it only included bug fixes, as having new features but at the cost of frustrating little bugs that add up is not cool.

Subject: [DUG] Error message starting Delphi program on Vista
Can anyone shed light on this?
I have one program that is prone to getting an exception dialog when it
starts on Vista.
The dialog is
Windows - No Disk
Exception processing Message 0xc013 Parameters 0x764292A0
0x0004 0x764292A0 0x764292A0
I think its a Vista problem because the program does this whether inside
or outside the IDE, and it disappears if the PC is rebooted, and returns
later. Is it trying to access one of the other drive letters such as a
card reader (there is one on this PC)?
There are also references to this on the web, eg
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1621609SiteID=
17
where people are just guessing, which suggests amongst others problems
with USB or removable disk drivers.
This program is checking free hard disk space on start up with code like
below:
(But I don't think its even getting this far - it is based on some code
I found on the net - and it gives the error message even if the code is
commented out)
procedure xcDiskStats(Drive: string; var aTotalDisk: real; var
aDiskUsed: Real; var aDiskFree: real; var aDiskPercentFree: integer; var
aStat: string);
var
ldisk: string;
ldiskchar: char;
lTotalDiskMB: Real;
lDiskFreeMB: Real;
begin
try
ldisk := uppercase(copy(Drive, 1, 1));
lDiskChar := Ldisk[1];
aDiskFree := DiskFree(Ord(ldiskChar) - 64);
aTotalDisk := DiskSize(Ord(ldiskChar) - 64);
aDiskUsed := ATotalDisk - ADiskFree;
finally
aStat:='';
end;
if aTotalDisk 0 then
begin
aDiskPercentFree := round((aDiskFree / aTotalDisk) * 100);
end;
lTotalDiskMB := aTotalDisk / (1024 * 1024);
lDiskFreeMB := aDiskFree / (1024 * 1024);
aStat := 'Disk Total=' + trim(format('%10.2f', [lTotalDiskMB])) + 'MB'
+ ' Disk Free=' + trim(format('%10.2f', [lDiskFreeMB])) + 'MB'

Re: [DUG] Interfaces
You've declared Res as being a IXMLResidentialType and then asking if
IXMLResidentialType implements Iauctionable, which it doesn't.
You need to make res a TXMLResidentialType as below
var
Res : TXMLResidentialType;
Auctionable : IAuctionable;
begin
Res := TXMLResidentialType.Create;
if Res.QueryInterface(IAuctionable, Auctionable) = 0 then
ShowMessage('Auctionable');
That should work

Could also try
If supports( res, IAuctionable, Auctionable ) then ...
I would debug/step into the QueryInterface method and then check the
actual classname of the object you are dealing with to see if it is
actually TXMLResidentialType.
You could always also implement IInterface/IUnknown and provide another
version of QueryInterface (which I have done on many an instance).
Interfaces ... lots of fun!

Subject: [DUG] Interfaces
I'm having some fun with interfaces
I have two interfaces IXMLResidentialType and IAuctionable.
I have a class which implements these two interfaces TXMLResidentialType
= class(TXMLNode, IXMLResidentialType, IAuctionable)
...
I have some code
var
Res : IXMLResidentialType;
Auctionable : IAuctionable;
begin
...
if Res.QueryInterface(IAuctionable, Auctionable) = 0 then
ShowMessage('Auctionable');
What I'm trying to determine is if Res implements IAuctionable - which
it does (through TXMLResidentialType which effective Res is an instance
of), however IXMLResidentialType doesn't seem to realise this. How do I
make this work?
Does this question make any sense?
If I'm not able to do this it's not too much of a problem, but will mean
a bunch of duplicated code.

Re: [DUG] Errors
Im using 2007 and error insight is still buggy (I just disabled it). Must admit I moved from delphi 7 to 2007 and its great to see all these new features and pretties but not at the cost of basic functionality, there are some small annoying things like if your forms arnt docked and you click on the editor the form doesn't get sent to the back, the structure window doesn't update to reflect what your working on all the time, using F1 to bring up help on item cursor is over not great, I've had the ide crash a few times with some funny errors?

[DUG] DBX4 drivers for firebird
Hi all, Our company has just recently ported from Delphi 7 to Delphi 2007. When we try to insert a blob into a firebird table using DBX4 (dbexpress) we were getting the following message Incorrect values within SQLDA structure. Their are plenty of references to this problem on the internet and it turns out that DBX4 doesn't support/work with firebird anymore. This problem has got the second highest votes on the codegear bug/feature request page (http://qc.codegear.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=41034) and comments about this problem go back to 2007 and yet I still cant find any references to this problem being fixed. I have fixed this problem by downloading a third party dbexpress driver from http://www.upscene.com/ (go to downloads and down the bottom there's a trial version for InterXpress for firebird, the readme forgets to include the directory for the dbxdrivers.ini file for 2007 which is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Documents\RAD Studio\dbExpress). The above works perfectly but I don't feel we should have to pay for this option and were wondering if anyone else has found any other solutions or heard any news about whether codegear are actually planning on supporting this, sounds like there's a lot of people screaming about this. I also found a free driver at http://www.tbosystems.bluehosting.com.br/dbx4/indexen.php http://www.tbosystems.bluehosting.com.br/dbx4/indexen.php , it seems to go well apart from the fact that it crashes 10-30 seconds after executing all the sql statements.

RE: [DUG] DBX4 drivers for firebird
Heres a few reasons why. 1. If you look at the votes on the codegear support page (http://qc.codegear.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?p=10) you can tell that there are a lot of people who are currently using firebird with dbxpress. There are currently 1710 votes which split off into 3 different sections but they are the same thing, that sounds like a lot of frustrated customers. 2. It use to work with delphi 7 (from what I understand this wasn't by design?). So CodeGear should be putting some serious thought into this because if I was aware of this before I would have had second thoughts about upgrading. Hows this for a sales pitch, upgrade your delphi to 2007 for $x ohh and by the way you'll have to fork out an extra £49-550 to be able to continue to talk to your database (This refers to the only third party driver that seems to work). If I have to I'll either revert back to Delphi 7 which so far has been more stable to me then 2007 or I'll just fork out the money. But the purpose of my email was to see if anyone else has developed a solution seen as there are references to this problem dating back to 2007. If I had the ability/experience to make the driver myself I would happily distribute to anyone else who needed it and this is the reason why I'm asking.
