HI all,
Just curious if many people have moved up to Windows 2000, and what incompatibilities
have
been found.
I use Infopower 4.0 and found a problem with the Richtext component. And have to
upgrade to
Infopower 2000.
Anyone else with horror stories?

Why not make an attribute FTest_Null and a readonly property TestNull on
your object?
Something like:
unit X;
interface
TMyClass = class(TObject)
private
FTest_Null: Boolean;
FValue: integer;
public
property TestNull: Boolean read
You may not need a singleton, but how about extracting the property out:
TTest = class(TObject)
private
FValue: Integer;
constructor Create (AValue: Integer);
oublic
property Value: Integer read FValue;
end;
This way, Value is always readonly, and FValue is only accessible from
within
I seem to recall reading sometime a while ago that there was a function (in
TypInfo.pas or similar) for getting back to the interface's underlying object -
can't find it now but does it ring any bells for anyone?

I think it depends on the version of DBase and Access.

Seriously though, try rebuilding the index.

I could not find a definition of "CoXMLHttpRequest" either in Delphi or on

But - what installs the "CoXMLHttpRequest"?
Is it a special VB library call?

You may want to try your own call to CoCreateInstance to see if it makes any

One issues I thought I would never have to see again - I need to do a quick
dirty patch to a Delphi 1 application to work around a long file name
issue. The app has to write a long file name to a directory (thankfully a
short directory name).
Can this be done via a 16 bit app written in D1?
Cool thanks...got thatwill try it out.

A TCP/IP session like this needs one or more client sockets at one end, and
