I added several menus: - Create dataset (what you need) - Save data to file (allows to save data in memory to file)- Load data from file (allows to load data from a file into memory) - Copy data from another dataset (what it says on the tin :-))
Thank you.
Works fine here, be sure to set correct properties for the fields you add. If any of the fields has incorrectly configured properties, it won't work.(2) Persistent fields: Wanting to create persistent fields at design time I do this: Make sure that the BufDataset is active. Right-click on the component to add the Fields Editor. I see the fields created. But how do I make them persistent? In Delphi I select both fields and click the '+'. Here the field list which opens is empty and the "Create" button is disabled. In other datasets everything is working correctly here, but TBufDataset seems to be incomplete.But I did this when the dataset was not yet active. Maybe that is your problem.
Although I had it working some time after I had sent my mail I now have the same issue again and I don't know why- see attached demo. I had entered two field defs, clicked the new "CreateDataset" option (which automatically set the Dataset to Active, however, not immediately, only after clicking somewhere else). I saved the project in this state. When you load it into Lazarus you must first create the dataset again, because i did not specify a filename since it must be absolute and won't fit to your directory structure. The FieldsEditor and trying to add persistent fields always leads me to the state with the empty field list and disabled "Create" button.
I should note also that when I experimented with FileName specified the IDE was in a pretty unstable state and crashed easily. I cannot reproduce, however, what I did exactly. But it happened rather frequently, at some stage the IDE crashed when I tried to click off the Active property, but this was gone after I reloaded the project.
