Re: [DUG] D2007 - Disabling packages
I have never really nailed this one down, but I think that it works if you save a normal project after altering the package options. I usually load a project, change the package options and then hit save all. Like I said, I haven't nailed it down, but it seems to work for me.

It seems to be a better framework than the original TMainMenu and TActionList etc. 2. decent PNG handling in conjunction with the above. 3. any other preferred alternatives? My first tests show that when using the freeware TPNGComponents, specifically the TPngImageList, along with the standard action bars, the glyphs are highlighted during mouse-over with an ugly rectangular background. There are 2 style options: XP, and Standard. Standard looks ok, but I'd like to get the more modern XP style working without the background/shadow drawing. The box around the whole control is ok, but not the extra rectangular shadow behind the glyph part. Using RS2007, or whatever it is called now. Another related question: By setting the TActionManager's FileName property, the user can customise the actionbars and have these changes persisted. But if you distribute an updated exe with say a new menu item it is not shown, as the user's saved settings take priority over your design-time changes. How do you handle this?

RE: [DUG] Source Control - Sharing files between projects
We are using subversion and it has the same problem. We re-arranged our project structure so that there is a folder that contains all of the common code which is well organised into sub folders. Each projects folder actually contains a minimal set of files that are currently, and always going to be, completely unique to that project. Sometimes this is just the main form. The rest of the files are under Common. The project uses clause contains a list of every file in the project with relative paths. Files for components are'nt listed in the project because they are in folders that are in our Library path. You mentioned that it may be a problem for all projects to share the same copy of a file, but I think it works better this way. In this case you can make the changes to your file, and then make sure it works with other project before checking things in. When the files were shared it was pretty common for someone to check is a change that worked with one project, but not with another. The only thing that this doesn't handle is files that are shared between each project that are not compiled into the exe, such as help files. In subversion you can share folders (using svn-externals), so we have a common folder that contains these files and share this folder with each project that needs them. Again this has actually improved things because these files are nicely organised into sub folders rather than all being in the same folder as the exe. Stacey From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Brennan Sent: Wednesday, 26 September 2007 10:12 To: 'NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List' Subject: [DUG] Source Control - Sharing files between projects Hi, I'm interested in hearing how people use their source control. We currently use Visual SourceSafe (VSS) which it turns out (after some comparison with other options) is quite nice in terms of core feature set. However is isn't a true database with atomic commits so there is that constant risk of database corruption if a network connection dies. We've been pretty luck so far but we have had one fairly minor scare. It also lacks strong support for branching and changeset type changes. So I can certainly see benefits in moving to a more powerful tool. The problem is that the alternatives all seem to be missing one or more VSS features. For example I don't like Subversion/CVS because their lack of explicit checkouts means you can't tell which developers are working on a particular file (unless you use Subversion locks but then only one developer can edit the file at once, unlike VSS's multiple checkouts). So the current favourite is probably Perforce. I know several companies on DUG (most notably Accredo) use and love Perforce. It looks great. Costs a bit but we can probably handle that. The one feature it appears to be missing is Shared Files. To explain, VSS allows you to share a file between multiple folders. We have maybe a dozen Delphi projects and most of our source files are used by more than one project. That's fine, we put each project into a different VSS folder and share the files to the projects which require them. Unfortunately this appears to be a VSS specific ability. So the questions: 1. Does anyone know how to reliably achieve similar shared file between folders functionality in Perforce? 2. Most development companies must have similar shared source files. How do you structure your projects and source files? (Note: I am talking about source files used by projects here, not files which are compiled into VCL packages) Some thoughts on question 2: One option is to just put all files into a single directory. No need to share now! However this means that projects could easily end up compiling in files you don't think they are (or should be) using because Delphi will always find the file. With our current separate folders scheme there is some control and you can be fairly sure whether a project is or is not using a source file. Another option would be to put the projects in one directory, the source files in one or more other directories, and then get the projects to reference each source file by relative path. This way each project will only be able to compile in files which are specifically referenced in the project file so you can easily check which files are being used. The downside of this (and the previous option too) is that each project is directly sharing the files with the others. So if you are making multiple changes in one project over the period of a week or so then it quite probable that none of your other projects will compile until you are finished because they will be trying to compile in your changed files. This is particularly frustrating if you need to make a small unrelated change to another project midway through the week. So... what's a developer to do!? Cheers, David. ___ NZ

RE: [DUG]: Delphi 7 - Designeditors
From Delphi 6 up they enforced the license condition that none of the design time code could be included in applications. The designer needs to be in its own unit which is NOT included in your application project. The package then includes the component unit and the designer unit. If you use runtime packages you need to have a runtime package without the designer uint and a designtime package with it.

Bread and butter SQL, but today I'm missing something very obvious.

I need some code that will: * accept the full path name of a .QRP file * bring up that report in a fully functional preview screen that allows: * navigating pages * sizing display (eg full screen etc) * AND (here's the rub) selecting a sub-set of pages to be printed * Close tidily (without AV's) (D5, QR3.0.5) The only aspect that I (and a colleague) have been unable to crack is being able to select pages for printing. Getting a solution to this has a commercial value to me and (while I guess it may not be in the normal spirit of this list) I am perfectly happy to pay for some code that does the trick. If anyone has already done this, or is confident that they can, could they please contact me off-list. I hope that members don't think that this request is a mis-use of the list. If they do think that this sort of request is inappropriate, what about the idea of a separate list for the trading of expertise. I know I would use it.

RE: RE: RE: [DUG]: Resizing for XP title bars
Title: Message No. Thebottom aligned panel contains the controls that would have been anchored to the bottom (usually buttons but not always). We have a client alignedpanel for the rest of the controls. In general we design all of our forms to be resizeable so all of the controls are anchored or aligned correctly. If we don't have a control that resizes with the form we leave a little extra space so that it looks correct on XP and older systems. I have never managed to isolate it but anchors don't always work. The resize code doesn't always get called when things are shown or hidden, and in the case of XP when the title bar is not the expected size.

RE: [DUG]: Why don't group boxes dim when disabled?
It seems to be a limitation of all of these types of controls. We have a slightly different situation where we don't use the Enabled property unless we really have to. Instead we set ReadOnly to true and change the background color or font colour of the control. This makes it possible for users to copy the contents of a disabled edit control. To do this we have two procedures, EnableControl and DisableControl which take a control as a parameter and sets all of the properties that we want to set when disableing a particular component. If you want to draw the title as disables (like labels do) you would probably have to write some sort of owner draw procedure.

We have about 70 users, running from a menu (exe), various apps (dlls). If during the day, we have an urgent fix to an app, it's almost impossible to get everyone out in order to update it. Is there a way to implement some procedure where I can migrate a change to app xyz, with the name xyz_ver2? When a user leaves app xyz and goes back in, they automatically end up running app xyz_ver2. In this way the users painlessly move on to the new version. Are there products out there for this? Could I code a simple do-it-yourself version? My initial thoughts - in the menu program, when a selection is made, e.g. Client Maintenance, I read a text file called ClientMaintenanceVer.txt. In the text file is the current dll version to run e.g. ClientMaintenanceV1_1. If I want users to move on to V1_2, then I prepare the dll, then change the text file to point to the new dll.

Not quite that bad.AFAIK Strings allocate memory a block at a time... but it's still pretty bad. I wrote a program that passed Strings down a recursive tree search, then rewrote it using PChars and got a major speed increase...run time went from an average of 2 minutes to a little over 18 seconds. Definitely worth the extra coding effort. Yes, it is an O(N squared) algorithm since each string concatenation will require an extension which means allocating a new bigger string and copying the result over. Copying the string will take an amount of time proportional to the current length (a function of N) and this will be done a number of times that is a function of N. Hence, overall O(N squared) where N isRows * Fields. Also, the Delphi memory manager does not handle the continual expansion access pattern very welland gets heavily fragmented which means even the allocation step may well start taking time proportional to some log of N. So it might even get up toO(N squared log N). Nasty! Change the code to write each string field independently (i.e. avoid concatenations) and the algorithm will run much faster and still offer text output. Some buffering on the TFileStream may help as well to avoid many small writes but the OS should do a fair job of that for you. TTFN, Paul.

The code (as follows) contains a comment which says "Do not localize" (which I have seen throughout the VCL code), Is there a good reason for this, or should everything work fine when I change it? I have tested it and its certainly seems fine in the short term, but it seems to take time for these things to fail. ... const //Do not localize KEY_SOCKETSERVER = '\SOFTWARE\Borland\Socket Server'; KEY_IE = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer'; ... Secondly. The D6 Socket Server has an option "Registered Objects Only". When this is checked my AppServers are not available, and if it is not checked my AppServers are available. How do I register an AppServer to be visible to Socket Server when this is checked, and does it make a difference.?

[DUG]: Midas 2 and Midas 3 on the same machine.
We had a system that was in Delphi 4 (Midas 2) App1 App2 - Socket Server (D4) - Appserver1 App3 We have now upgraded to Delphi 6 (Midas 3) so any new software we write is inDelphi 6, but untilthe next version of our main piece of software isfinishedwe are still running some Delphi 4 Apps. So what we now have is App1 App2 - - Appserver1 (D4) Socket Server (D6) App3 - - AppServer2 (D6) Current if only App1 and App2 (Midas 2) are used everything runs smoothly. If App3 (Midas 3) is used then it worke well most of the time, but sometimes AppServer2 hangs so that new connections just sit there waiting. No timeout. Also, but less often AppServer1 hangs as well. In this case once we fix up AppServer2 (kill all App3's and then Kill AppServer2) AppServer1 works again. AppServer1 and Appserver2 have different GUID's but that names of the RDM's, Methods and Providers are the same. AppServer2 is essentially AppServer1 ported to Midas 3. AppServer1 and 2 both use a TDatabase to connect to an informix database. They don't use an existing BDE alias but they do have the same DatabaseName. Is it OK to have Midas 2 and Midas 3 App servers on the same machine? Do I need to change more than the GUID's between versions of an AppServer? Anything else I should know?

[DUG]: Debugging Troubles
I have an application which is causing me trouble, but I am at a loss as to how to debug it. I need to describe the application and how it works, so that you can understans my problems so here goes: Its a data viewing/editing application for the roading industry. There is a list of roads from which the user can select 1 or many roads. The user canview any number of MDI forms which contain information on things like Signs, Street Lights and Footpaths. When a user selects a new road we fire a windows message off which the data forms recieve and update themselves. We have other messages flying about when different events happen, like one of the data forms scrolls. The problem is arising when I close one of these data forms. I get an access violation after the destructor has completed. The application is in the message loop when the access violation occurs, so I don't get much from the call stack. I assume (but I could be wrong) that the exception is occuring because there is still a message in the queue which is destined for the form that has been free'd. How do I go about debugging a problem like this? Thanks Stacey Stacey Verner Ph: +64-9-4154790Software Developer Fax: +64-9-4154791 DDI: +64-9-4154797CJN Technologies Ltd.

RE: [DUG]: Unicode
What about using an image? Then you don't have to rely on the font being there.

RE: [DUG]: Paradox SQL - Group totals as % of Grand total
We have just handled a similar problem here, and here is what we did. Perform your original SQL and put it onto a temporary table (T1). Write another SQL which which sums, totals, counts whatever you want from T1 at whatever grouping level you want and puts it into a new temporary (T2). Now write a final SQL that looks someting like: select T1.* , T2.* from T1 , T2 where T1.Val = T2.Val This is what you use when generating your report. This may seem like a fair amount of work, but as far as actual processing by the SQL server goes is houldn't be much different from just running the original query.

TComponent does not have Left or Top property, however there is a Left and Top entry in the dfm for each non-visual component. Is there any way that I can set this? In some cases we may want theselookup datasetscreated on a form or dataset other than the one the parent dataset is on. For thisI need to get a list of available forms or data modules from the designer(do these need to be open?), and allow the user to pick the desired destination. How do I get the list?

RE: [DUG]: TCustomListBox. Multiselect
Everything available to TCustomlistBox is also available in TCheckListBox so the cast un unnecessary. By default you can't get at the protected properties of an object. Prptected properties are designed to be accessible from within decendants, of the class. You can also get at the protected parts of an object if you are in an object defined in the same unit as the object in question. Therefore if you put somethin like TCheatCLBox = class(TCheckListBox) in your units interface and then go (myCheckListbox as TCheatCLBox).Multiselect you will be fine. I believe that TCheckListBox is already in MultiSelect and ExtendedSelect mode. Think of it as a list box that uses check boxes to show what is selected rather than the standard blue line. When we want the functionality you want we either use a 3rd party component we have called TPickList (with some modifications) or we setup a TTreeView to display checks as its state images.

[DUG]: Cached Updates?
I though I knew how
CachedUpdates worked, and I though I know how to use it, but one of our
users was experiencing a slowdown when editing a large number of records,
soI developed a quick test to see what was going on. The following code
simply runs through a dataset changing a field and posting the updatse using
cached updates.
procedure TfTest.bTestClick(Sender:
TObject);var LTime, LDuration: TDateTime; LTotal, LAverage:
Extended; LCount: Integer;begin LCount := 0; LTotal := 0;
qTest.Close; qTest.Open; while not qTest.EOF do
begin LTime :=
Now;
qTest.Edit; qTest.FieldByName('lanes').AsInteger :=
11; qTest.Post;
qTest.ApplyUpdates; qTest.CommitUpdates;
LDuration := (Now - LTime) * 24
* 60 * 60;
Inc(LCount); LTotal := LTotal +
LDuration; LAverage := LTotal /
LCount; eCount.Text := Format('%d',
[LCount]); eTotal.Text := Format('%17.16f',
[LTotal]); eAverage.Text := Format('%17.16f',
[LAverage]);
qTest.Next; end;end;
When this runs I get
a fairly dramatic slowdown. ie. The first update takes about 1/100th of a second
but, by the timeI reach the 200th update it takes nearly 1
second.
I have tried the two
following variations and got interesting results.
...
qTest.ApplyUpdates;
//qTest.CommitUpdates;
...
This runs much
faster but still has a noticeable slowdown. Previously I believed that this
would run very slowly because it would post all changes in the cache each time
(ie. The first time it posts 1 change. The second time it posts 2 changes...)
because we aren't clearing the cache, but this doesn't appear to be the
case.
...
//qTest.ApplyUpdates;
qTest.CommitUpdates;
...
This runs about the
same speed as the original, and it does apply the changes to the database, even
though ApplyUpdates is never called.
Any
thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks
Stacey
