I have some classes and objects in my console programs, but they are there
to get some new features to work and are mixed it with my turbo pascal code. I
never really fully understood them.. only a vague idea of how they work.
>Defining it in public in TText_to_PDF is a good idea.
I tried putting it under the destructor in public… above the private
variables, but it wouldn’t compile there I thought it would have to be above
all the functions and procedures… and there is no Var for variables and there
are two public and two private definitions, I don’t really understand what’s
going on… Can I just mix up variables with functions and procedures since
there is no Var declaration? Or is there an order that must be followed?
>(Sorry, I've renamed a lot of things)
Thanks, I’m still trying to pick up the naming conventions. For some
reason all my form changes got reset. I merged them back in and pushed it. I
made the background of the information boxes white, not invisible that’s why I
set them to ‘ ‘ at the beginning.. so the white boxes would be visible.
I also padded the text in the boxes with spaces so the white background would
make a border around the text. I also re-arranged a lot of things, added
horizontal scroll bars and shut off word wrap on the results panel.. removed
extra buttons we don’t need now with the menu, etc.. Let me know what you
think of my form design.
Any idea how I change the format of M.Text=’[Date]’; in uText_To_PDF.pas ? It
shows up 2021-05-03 (Which I actually like better because it sorts properly)
but here in the USA 05-03-2021 is customary. I don’t see where [Date] gets
filled in with the date or how to define the format of it. I think I could
make my own date format, but I don’t want to over-complicate things.
Thank you for the help.
James
