Re: [DUG] Windows 7 Network Oddity
How do you expand the path to UNC? The reason I am surprised in a way that MS have done this is that using mapped drives added a layer of abstraction from the server – if a server had F: mapped to \\SERVER01\DATA then the server could be replaced, the mapping moved to \\SERVER02\DATA on the workstation in Windows Explorer, and the existing shortcuts and saved setups needed no change – in practice this is very convenient because it gave a very easy way to upgrade a server. Also the network upgraders only needed to know to edit the drive mappings in Explorer, now they might need to go into software packages and alter settings for each. I can cater for this in my settings, but it means that any time a server is replaced the settings will have to be edited, and the shortcuts will also will probably have to be edited, as usually the server name changes. I already have to cater for this for network printers, eg a printer might move from being called HPLaserjet and changed from being mapped to \\SERVER01\HPLASER changed to \\SERVER02\HPLASER so in a sense its just more of the same (printers never had a mapping anyway).

Re: [DUG] Windows 7
What I was meaning was more on the lines of a project I worked on where problems came from the database connection details came from an ini file, but because the main form or the datamodule were created before the ini file was read and the database.connected was set to true, it got the wrong settings (eg a blank or invalid connection string) and an error message like you said. In particular I got fooled by a subsidiary form that was not shown or opened before the error was one of the culprits, because the database connection was actually running in that form create event at program start - so I didn't at first realise that was the (not yet shown) form creating the trouble. The solution in that case was to not have the database connected until all relevant settings (connection string etc) were loaded. Involved some detective work to find the order that forms were created and various events ran that read the ini file, having database1.connected:=false in the form/datamodule, and putting code like //read ini file and get settings. database1.connected:=true; What Colin said rings a bell too - I have seen a project where the order of the datamodules and the forms were quite particular (in the project file) - All the datamodules were created before any forms were autocreated. I have also heard others say that sometimes when components such as datasources/querys/datasets are copied and pasted, and then their names and other details changed, on rare cases they might seem to have phantom settings that confuse (eg params might not get set right in the dataset or unexpected field definitions) and the simplest solution is to delete and create them again fresh. This case you could also find probably looking at the dfm as text. John Hi John I set up the data aware components and datasets in a trial project and everything worked fine. I then created a second datamodule (DM2) within the original project and copied the dataset and table to it, then connected the data aware components from the main form.. This worked well. So I am now pretty certain it has something to do with the datamodule form itself (DM1). You suggested settings not being loaded at the correct time. I would appreciate some idea of how to check this out. I could just rebuild the project on DM2, however that's no guarantee that it won't happen again. The ini file itself seems ok - at least to me.

Re: [DUG] Windows 7
Hey Bob, I could probably be totally off-track, but why don't you check the order of the creation of forms. Go to Projects | Options... | Forms and place the datamodule as the first item (or at least before the form) in the auto-create form list. It may make a difference.

I'm not particularly well up on Windows 7, but if you're talking about applications by default NOT running elevated, then Vista was the same.

Re: [DUG] windows 7 and messagedlg
I ended up installing Delphi, all components, database and the project on a new Win 7 pc provided by the customer. Tracing using the debug vcl units showed that the calls to messagedlg and below were fine - just not showing the dialog! Just for the hell of it I threw in an Application.ProcessMessages immediately before the call and now it all works again with or without the XP compatibility setting. The messagedlg was called after an intensive loop of data processing, but I'm still not sure why the Application.ProcessMessages was necessary for Windows 7. It's a worry for other situations as well - not seeing a message is hardly something that most users would report or even know they were missing. cheers, Steve _ From: Jolyon Smith [mailto:jsm...@deltics.co.nz] Sent: Wednesday, 20 January 2010 11:36 a.m. To: 'NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List' Subject: Re: [DUG] windows 7 and messagedlg Are you sure that it is the message display that is being suppressed and not some change in the runtime conditions that lead to your application even attempting to display the message in the first place? e.g. (a completely made up example) : If ForceDirectories( ' .. path to some folder in Program Files ..
