I think indexing null or one based should be consistent in a programming environment. In tmsebufdataset the record data can be addressed as array with null based index so there should be a null based record number too. Delphi datasets don't provide direct data access without scrolling the dataset AFAIK. I don't like the one based Pascal string indexes either, null based addressing is faster. Often one needs the next character in a string after a starting sequence of given length, null based index is more convenient here too. I'll probably add a "recindex" property to the datasets.

[MSEide-MSEgui-talk] dbstringgrid
In a dbstringgrid widget I can adjusted (during design) the column widths by placing the cursor at the separator between 2 columns, pressing and holding the mouse button and dragging the column to make it wider or narrower. Are there options that can be set to allow the user to do the same thing at run time? Thank you. -- Patrick Goupell Income taxes?

Hallo Martin,

That's the distinction between _counting_ and _numbering_.
Do you count "0, 1, 2..."? Probabely not.
How do you number things?
Doesn't matter at all, because here, the numbers are just labels. Odered
labels, usually, but just labels. You could use any other set of symbols
having an oder relation, like letters of the alphabet, or the number names
("One, two, three...").
There's even a mathematical concept for each of these:
counting numbers are called "cardinal", while numbering numbers (;) are
called "ordinal".
Calculating is only defined for cardinal numbers, you can add, subtract or
multiply them (division is a special case here, because division cannot be
defined wholly within the cardinal number's space).
With ordinal numbers, you only have distance between them.
Usually, this isn't recognized, as one doesn't commonly attempt to multiply,
e.g., record numbers or array indices, or even add them together.
Subtracting two ordinal numbers produces _not_ an ordinal, but a cardinal,
giving the distance between the two. Distance can be positive or negative,
because ordinals are ordered - you can always tell whether one comes
"before" the other, is "smaller" by means of the ordering relation.
An implementation of ordinal data are Pascal's enumerations, a "typical"
use are array indices - which, in Pascal, are implemented such that there
is a starting value and a sequence defined, where the starting value can be
anything allowable for the index value. You can also use enumerations as
indices.

Re: [MSEide-MSEgui-talk] Bug in msebufdataset.pas
Probably there is a mix of concepts. When I read recno I understand item so first item is 1, second is 2.. Another thing is offset, in this case first element has offset 0, second 1 That's the main reason I understand for recno first element=1 If you rename it as recoffset then it's ok starting in 0. I'm not sure the one-based recno is a relict from Borland-BDE. Objectpascal does not enforce you to start an array index in 0, 1 or whatever. C language does it. Of course this is only my point of view.

Hi. Array concept zero-based? not in objectpascal. Why the first element must be 0? You usually think first=1, second=2 first=0? I know there are lots of arguments about starting in 0 or 1 or whatever and I don't want to start a 'war' because it.. My point of view is to follow fpc/fcl direction.
