RE : [fpc-pascal] fpWeb and html and uri escaping/unescaping elements
This is a very minimalistic implementation covering only partial ascii
character escaping. To cover ASCII only in unescapeHTML you should also add
'nbsp' which corresponds with the space character ' '. Also the format
#entity_number; is missing ('lt;' or '#60;' equals '')
To support iso-8859-1 which is default in most browsers you'll need a lot
more. See f.e. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp

Regarding the tlb to pascal conversion, AFAIK there is no support in fpc.
Delphi is clearly better equiped to work with COM objects.
I have also been playing around with a generic eventsink class but the
problem is that events can have parameters (and a lot do). Your suggestion
of using TNotifyEvents could work for events without parameters. You could
leave the parameter stuff to the user of the eventsink, eventually helping
him by exposing the number and type of parameters, but that means that the
user has to have a reasonable good understanding of COM, including the data
types compatible with COM marshalling.
Thanks for the explanation. In fact, that is the reason why I called
it TSimpleEventSink, meaning that it was good for simple situation.
In my case, for example, the activex controls a hardware stuff which
only request the user to take an action sometimes.
In the C++ source code for the class Device I have:
[
uuid(168F5642-5751-49F5-9AA4-B8A7A5F6A5B8),
helpstring(_IDeviceEvents Interface)
]
dispinterface _IDeviceEvents
{
properties:
methods:
[id(1), helpstring(method OnCommChanged)] HRESULT OnCommChanged();
[id(2), helpstring(method OnStatesChanged)] HRESULT OnStatesChanged();
[id(3), helpstring(method OnContact)] HRESULT OnContact();
[id(4), helpstring(method OnMeasUpdate)] HRESULT OnMeasUpdate();
};
where this four simple events only alert the user about a change
situation; then the user takes the suitable actions.
Do you think it could work for me?
Now I'm trying to write by hand a minimalist tlb, looking for the
definitions in the activex source code

RE : RE : RE : RE : RE : [fpc-pascal] support for using an activex
The code in article
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=130494seqNum=5 goes a long
way in doing what you want to do. Unit Eventsink does pretty much of the
legwork. You should remove the procedure register since that is the Delphi
way to get a component on the toolbar. Remove also the {$IFDEF VER100} and
{$ENDIF}. The unit actually includes the code for InterfaceConnect!!
In the MainForm unit you'll have to do in a TForm1.Create
EventSink1:=TEventSink.Create(Self);
EventSink1.OnInvoke:=@EventSink1Invoke;
because the example assumes you have dropped the component on the form and
entered EventSink1Invoke in the properties box.
As for the tlb conversion, in your case
IEventIntfEvents = dispinterface
['{168F5642-5751-49F5-9AA4-B8A7A5F6A5B8}']
end;
should do (that is for the events part). AFAIK the procedure and dispid
definitions are only needed for the server. You are only concerned with
dispid's. No need to create prototypes for OnCommChanged() etc.
EventSink1Invoke would be a simple
case DispID of
1: // do CommChanged
2: // do StatesChanged
...
end;

The improvement over hashtable seems to be in the lookup, so it still uses hashing to generate initial index which in simple case, like in the page you point, operates on the whole string (i.e. O(n)). The lookup would take additional processing. Anyway, it's not really comparable to suffix tries. Instead, it's comparable to (prefix) tries. For lookup and update, tries should perform better.

The code in article
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=130494seqNum=5 goes a long
way in doing what you want to do. Unit Eventsink does pretty much of the
legwork. You should remove the procedure register since that is the Delphi
way to get a component on the toolbar. Remove also the {$IFDEF VER100} and
{$ENDIF}. The unit actually includes the code for InterfaceConnect!!
found that! great!
As for the tlb conversion, in your case
IEventIntfEvents = dispinterface
['{168F5642-5751-49F5-9AA4-B8A7A5F6A5B8}']
end;
should do (that is for the events part). AFAIK the procedure and dispid
definitions are only needed for the server. You are only concerned with
dispid's. No need to create prototypes for OnCommChanged() etc.
EventSink1Invoke would be a simple
case DispID of
1: // do CommChanged
2: // do StatesChanged
...
end;
Now I am wasting time making the tlb pascal definitions.
For the event part I'm fine with the dispid's
Until now I was calling the activex method with variants, in and out,
but now I discovered that this IDevice class has a property like:
property Sensors: ISensors;
which inside is a list of items like Sensor: ISensor.
Can I read the sensores with a variant? Then, to see the fields inside
each sensor, I think a I need a class to do that...
The activex has all of these classes with the suitable dispinterfaces
and uuids and so on. But if I define
var device, transducers, transducer : variant;
and create
device := CreateOleObject('Device');
then, can i simply write the following ?
transducers := device.Transducers;
transducer := transducers[index];
It's a long path until I get this stuff working...

RE : RE : RE : RE : RE : RE : [fpc-pascal] support for using an activex
Using variants you can transparently walk along the exposed objects. The
variant contains the Idispatch of the object and gets the exposed methods at
runtime. Properties are implemented as get and put methods or just get
methods for read only properties.
If you have something like
Itransducers = interface
..
property transducer[Index:integer]:Itransducer;
end;
Then you would do
transducer := transducers.transducer[index];
transducer := transducers[index]; works only if transducer is the default
property for Itransducers. I'm not sure if fpc supports this.

Re: RE : RE : RE : RE : RE : RE : [fpc-pascal] support for using an activex
Always thanks!
Given your evident experience on this matter, I kindly ask your advice
on what is best to do.
opt 1) create a fpc class with some pascal style methods, which in
their implementation use variants and call the IDevice class with
late-binding . meaning that there is no compiler check and if my
collegue changes the dll, then I have to change these implementations
opt 2) in a reference of those you sent me, there is some example code
from which I take the lines below. In the tlb conversion unit, the
interface and dispinterface of the class are some replicated. Then
also the eventinterface is defined.
The main interface class is defined without and with dispids. With the
dispids, only the properties are defined and not the methods.
IFileZapper = interface(IDispatch)
['{2E2FC5E0-5C0E-4C4F-8CC1-D9F6C5A92BA6}']
function Get_Directory: WideString; safecall;
procedure Set_Directory(const Value: WideString); safecall;
function Get_FileMask: WideString; safecall;
procedure Set_FileMask(const Value: WideString); safecall;
procedure BringToFront; safecall;
property Directory: WideString read Get_Directory write Set_Directory;
property FileMask: WideString read Get_FileMask write Set_FileMask;
end;
IFileZapperDisp = dispinterface
['{2E2FC5E0-5C0E-4C4F-8CC1-D9F6C5A92BA6}']
property Directory: WideString dispid 1;
property FileMask: WideString dispid 3;
procedure BringToFront; dispid 10;
end;
IFileZapperEvents = dispinterface
['{7B6F8ADD-7980-4A35-838B-E1600C43D29E}']
procedure OnSelectionChanged; dispid 1;
procedure OnDirectoryChanged(const DirName: WideString); dispid 2;
end;
Is this somewhat the same thing as the wrapper of option 1? If I write
all of this conversion (and, by the way, how to convert C++ data types
to pascal?? widestring ?), then how can I use it?
In the end, maybe the wiki page about COM interfaces should be update
to something more than 'Word.Application.NewFile'.
I can't share the activex I have, otherwise it would be a good example
to see something useful to start with.
