[DUG]: Anyone using SQL 7 yet.
I have a trial version of SQL 7 which I am trying to connect to my existing app via odbc. 1st problem is that the trial version only seems to allow 1 connection. as delphi uses multiple connections this causes a few problems. 2nd problem (may be related to the first) is that my test app (3 tables, 3 datasources, 3 grids, 3 lines of code) crashes without running when compiled under d3 or d4. My real app tends to disappear without trace about 10 seconds into execution. any ideas? Sean --- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz

RE: [DUG]: Sampling sound
I am wanting to read spark plug pulses so i can calculate rpm (and then add in accelration measured by a g sensor). The easiest way of doing this is via the microphone jack. Then I can find the peaks and do something with the information. I could just record everything into a buffer and look for the peaks in semi real time but I need to be able to syncronise the data with other infomation (eg G sensor). How often I need to sample (and what the best process is) is something that will require experimentation. All help gratefully appreciated.

RE: [DUG]: Sampling sound
Thanks for all your suggestions. A few more details would probably help. I have a G sensor with serial input. I can read this quite easily. This gives me x and y acceleration of the vehicle which can then be integrated to give speed and distance (approximately). I have a working program which does all this. I want some way to read the rpm at the same time. A serial port is out, as this is already in use for the g sensor and my laptop has only one port. Currently I am thinking of a inductive pickup on the spark plug. This has the advantage that it is easy to attach (If you have ever seen under the bonnet of a WRX, you will understand why this is important). There are a few shareware programs on the net which use a inductive pickup wired to a mic plug to generate a wave file. This is then analysed to produce a rough hosepower graph. My intention is to be able to track vehicle performance: go for a blast on a flat bit of road and let physics tell me the vehicle horsepower. I want to be able to transfer the set-up easily from one vehicle to another (I have a car I want to play with, my flatmate has several racing motorbikes :-) ). Measuring this requires a loop reading time, accellration and rpm. Little or no display is required during data acquisition and any serious processing can be left until afterwards. As an aside, my flatmate wants to build a bike dyno. That is more straight forward as you can use a hall sensor on the dyno drum (requiring less in the way of electronics) and use a desktop computer. Hopefully anything I can use for my project will be readily portable to his. The result of this discussion appear to be that it will be difficult to impossible to do all this in software. I can either continue without rpm info (estinmating rpm from speed, a bit of a dodgy propisition) or build hardware. However my electronic skills are limited, so anything complicated will require assistance. I am willing to pay for this, but as this is a toy project, the budget is limited. If anyone is willing to give me a hand, or has some bright ideas, please let me know.

Although the yesterday disaster, I have to work... And unfortunately I have a very serious problem on my work: I work maintaining and raising a big system developed in Delphi 4 Client/Server. This system was made by another person to work with an Interbase 5.1.1 Server. With Interbase, the system works superbly. But due to politics reasons, my boss is demanding me to use MS SQL Server 7... My problem begins at this point. The system was designed with several TQueries with the RequestLive property set to TRUE. There are numerous TQueries e DBGrids attached to those TQueries. The data handling is made entirely through the DBGrids (insertion, deletion, update). When the system is running over MS SQL Server 7 the following error happens : Key Violation General SQL error. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Connection is busy with results for another hstmt. This error is intermittent: sometimes happens, sometimes doesn4t happens. I4ve searched for this error message in the Microsoft TechNet and found a brief explanation in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q143/0/32.asp. They say, the following: After you execute an asynchronous query you cannot access the recordset or execute another asynchronous query on the same RdoConnection until the StillExecuting property of the recordset is False. This behavior is by design. Well, Microsoft obviously is referring to a Visual Basic point of view when talk about StillExecuting. And I4m absolutely sure that there are not concurrent queries being executed in the system. Surely the error happens when opening a query with RequestLive=True. Then me and my development team are transforming drastically the system to eliminate the use of RequestLive=True. But, as the system is very huge, the amount of effort is enormous. Then I4ve tried to access the MS SQL Server 7 through a MSSQL native driver in BDE, instead of use ODBC. Unexpectedly another kind of error happens: General SQL error. Syntax error converting datetime from character string. The most weird thing is that this error happens even when I am altering data on the SQL Explorer 4. Then I4ve only changed from an error to another... I4ve sent the command SET DATEFORMAT DMY do MS SQL Server, but the problem continues. Do you have some idea to solve this problem ? Do you have some alternative to avoid the hard task of modifing the whole system ? Thanks a lot. Forgive-me whether I was very prolix...

So when/if I need to go to another PC, and do the below, I dont have to
actually download all the files again tho eh?
Are we not getting media with the setup on it? I cant actually figure this

Basically all want to know is, will we receive a CD with the setup on it? (if

Not really. It will download a setup exe that will then download everything
that you need (to C:\ProgramData\{AB3EC276-D261-4943-A921-1CC1C6799AED}). You
can then copy those files (and the setup) onto a DVD. On you next computer,
copy the files back to C:\ProgramData\{AB3EC276-D261-4943-A921-1CC1C6799AED}
and then run the setup again.

I think its totally stylistic, if you want to have functions returning objects fine, just make it plain that they do, IMHO The whole point of the 'pass in the complex object' convention is to make it obvious who the object owner is. That is not a problem with a constructor. In this case, Delphi convention is to pass in the object. If you are passing around your own objects, you can also solve the problem by using an interface Function GetMyObject: IMyObject; Begin Result:= TMyObject.Create; ... End; Interfaces are reference counted and will be freed when ref count = 0.

RE: [DUG] Why use a set when a string will work OK (and less code)?
Because then you are forever checking status with code like
If Status = 'Active' then ..
Else if Status = 'Pending'...
So you end up using consts. And you still have the problem that your Status
may end up as '' or 'Ative' or 'as323'
And you can't use case statements.
If status is purely informational, then using a string is fine. Once you start
checking it and acting on it, then string based code becomes increasingly ugly.
What I do is something like:
TMyStatus = (Active, Pending, Ended, Paused, Deleted, Suspended);
StatusMeanings = array[TMyStatus] of string = ('Active', 'Pending', 'Ended',
'Paused', 'Deleted', 'Suspended');
...
ShowMessage(StatusMeanings[Status]);

Subject: [DUG] Why use a set when a string will work OK (and less

Why use a set when string work ok? (and I think it's a set)
Question: I have seen this quite a bit and apparently it's good
practice however to me it seems like more work.
Example
Whats the point in doing this
MyStatus = (Active, Pending, Ended, Paused, Deleted, Suspended););
type
Something = class
name : string;
status : MyStatus;
end;
then example on create or something
status := Active;
(yes, missed out lots of steps :P)
and now if I want to show the status, I have to do something like..
If status = MyStatus(Active) then showmessage('Active');
If status = MyStatus(Pending) then showmessage('Pending'); etc
Why go though all that hassle when just doing this is fine
status : string;
status := 'Active'
showmessage(status);
so instead of using MyStatus types I just use a string - this means
when I want to output the status to the user I don't have to try and
convert it to string first.
So, why do it?

The advantage of enumerated types is strong compiler type checking. Ie no spelling/keying mistakes. If you use the normal convention for enumerated types, .e.g MyStayus = (msActive, msPending, msEnded ) etc Then you can use a function and RTTI to convert the enumerated type name into a string for display. There is a RTTI function that returns the name of an enumerated type e.g. msActive, and then your function can strip off the leading lowercase characters.

[DUG] D2007 - Property TextHeight does not exist.
I have a D7 project that I have upgraded to D2007. When I run it, it gives the following error: --- Application Error --- Exception EReadError in module PPrint4.exe at 00460737.

The original one wasn't to bad, but looking at other programs there is some very nice looking applications out there. Now I have the TMS component set and there are some very nice graphical components in there - but I don't want the program to be overwhelming (picture someone that finds the transitions in a slide show app for the first time!) but also don't want it to look like something from windows 3.1 End of the day it comes down to the usability for the user and making everything as easy and logical for them to use, but also want it to look appealing. So what steps, guidelines, approach do you take when designing an application. :-) Cheers Nick ___ 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe ___ 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe ___ 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe ___ 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe

With Sqlite, you can stick the dll in your app directory, or you can embed it in your app. In either case you are fine. If you stick the dll in a shared directory, then you might be in trouble.

The event is a full three hours and David will cover these subject areas: * Delphi 2009 and Unicode - in most cases, reservations about the amount of work and difficulty in moving to Unicode are unfounded. David can talk the wheres and whyfores, when you do it and when it can trip you up. * Delphi productivity: Live Templates, Refactoring, Generics, Customisable toolbars, Customisable Desktops, The Visual Component Library, Tips and Tricks and more... * What's Cooking in the Labs - David will give you a sneak peak at What's Cooking in the Labs and some of the new initiatives coming our way... Peter Joint will also be on hand to share information on how local customers are using the database tools and just how useful Embarcadero Database tools (such as ER/Studio and Change Manager) are for developers, including the new All-Access licensing model that delivers real tools to developers for a fraction of the cost.

Re: [DUG] Future of us Delphi programmer in New Zealand?

Re: [DUG] Future of us Delphi programmer in New Zealand?
C# has a number of things I like (garbage collection, good libraries, big community) and a number of things I dislike (case sensitivity, c based syntax, large runtimes...). If it compiled to native code, or if the runtime library was smaller then it would be my goto language for desktop dev. As it is, I still use Delphi.

Re: [DUG] Embarcadero article
You can't single source a gui unless it is very basic. OSX has a completely different look and feel than Windows that goes deeper than just different shaped widgets and button ordering. Even if you can get a vcl set that works on both, you are still faced with different user expectation on how things work. That translates into different form layouts possibly different component choices and occasionally different application layouts. Once you finally get a form that works on windows, osx and linux, you are still stuck when it comes to the iPhone apps. If you are doing a remotely sophisticated app, you are going to have to rewrite a large amount of the gui. There is no easy way around it. I've spent most of the night looking at python ides. Most are non native, probably java based. Even the good ones feel a bit strange and the bad ones are just horrid.

Similarly third party providers (eg DevExpress) need to be able to produce single source versions of their libraries fairly easily. As far as I can tell they are producing a completely new VCL for the Mac just like CLX was for Kylix... if so then that means they are only targeting new applications which is a fatal mistake IMO. Of course doing what I suggest (making the new Mac VCL compatible with the existing VCL32 BUT still making it appear native on other targets) is probably at least an order of magnitude harder than what they are trying... but if they don't then I don't really see the point.

Re: [DUG] Embarcadero article
I don't want to get to deep into a discussion of this, the last time I got into a discussion on GC in non technical, I lost days of my life. However: - Suggesting that I move to prism to get a gc makes as much sense as suggesting that you move to c++ to get a 64 bit compiler - As Phil said It's horse for courses. In the areas you work in, gc is obviously of no use. In the areas I mostly work in, it would make my life much easier. - Personally I get tired of the GC = laziness argument. It's dismissive without any real thought. - I do know how to use reference counted interfaces and smart pointers. I use them for some things. However reference counting doesn't work for circular references without a lot of additional work. Adding to the opf I use would take more time than it would save.

The distrust of GC as a technology amongst experienced practitioners (as it typically is) of the black arts of software development stems from: - less efficient use of memory (*) - unpredictably distributed performance across application usage (*) - loss of determinism (debugging complexity) (*) GC assumes a vast over supply of RAM and an availability of application idle cycles in which to recover wastefully over-allocated RAM. The beauty of the GC framework (ref counted lifetime managed via interfaces) that Delphi ALREADY OFFERS (!) is that: - as you say with 'D', it's optional :) - it remains deterministic So don't you already have what you want?

The only think you need to be wary about is Win7 64bit and Delphi 2007 2009 (not sure if older versions have any hassles), but there is a small change that needs to be made to a Delphi file for debugging, as an error appears when closing a debug session (and multi threads are used), that kills Delphi.

Re: [DUG] to Vista 64bit or not?
In my case, the difference between 3 and 4 gb is huge. All my development is in vms, so it makes a big difference in how much memory I can allocate to a vm, and how may I can have running. I am using laptops, so much as I would like 8gb, it is non trivial to arrange. Ymmv. For the general public, 80% won't notice a difference between 32 and 64. However as developers, we use more processor and memory than most (except for gamers and video editors). If you are planning on upgrading your memory in the near future, 64 is probably a good idea. IMHO 64 bit should be the default choice unless you have a compelling reason to stay with 32.

But at 4GB I really don't think there's much in it, so whilst there may not be a specific reason to use 32-bit, there's also no great compelling reason to use 64-bit either, and a few *potential* reasons not to (lack of 64-bit support for XYZ, where XYZ varies from individual to individual) potential complications when running (some) 32-bit software etc etc. +0.02 ___ 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
Re: [DUG] to Vista 64bit or not?
I dual boot into OSX for iphone development. I much prefer windows 7. And I hate objective c.

Although I will switch to Win7 for new hardware purchases. The start menu in Win7 has a nice feature where individual apps have their own recent document lists. I haven't played around too much with the taskbar settings but I believe you can basically get the old one back in Win7 anyway. I purchased a macbook pro the other week. That has been an interesting experience. Anyone that says they prefer the macOS after using windows for a long time is fibbing :-). It feels horribly limiting and this one menu bar for all applications is just dumb. Got Lazarus up and running (doubt I'll really use it though) as well as XCode for doing some iphone development (the reason i got it). ___ 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 ___ 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
Re: [DUG] Making apps look fancy
I use mustang peak http://www.mustangpeak.net/ drop down forms for this. I (conceptually) set a timer when the user starts typing. Every xxx ms, I run a query and populate a component on the drop down form. Depending on where I using it, and how slow the search is, I run the search is in the main thread or a background thread. In my main app, I just run refresh a stored proc component when the user stops typing for a brief time, and do it in the main thread. That is plenty quick enough. In other apps though, I have run searches in a background thread and only done the vcl update in the main thread.

What is others opinion on the best way to do these in Delphi? (especially using standard VCL and non-data aware controls). I see Delphi 2010 brings in such a feature to the IDE, it does a simple non-indexed search behind the scenes apparently.
