Really they should be considered part of the project. Only the IDE does not store what the original filename was, so to find the image again (for a bitbutton/program icon etc) I have to know what it was and where. I haven’t made up mind between storing them in the project source folder or a separate images folder... Any Embarcadero programmers out there reading this – how about the IDE stores the names of the files when it loads them, so it can be found again.

[DUG] Code coverage - finding stale code
With Delphi XE has anyone seen a tool/something built-in which can display some form of code coverage.

Re: [DUG] D2009 + Windows 7: awesome!
Hi, I do the same here as well, running D2007 in a VM. Makes backing up far easier and means I can run linux as my host machine. On Sat, 2009-05-30 at 10:14 +1200, Gary T.

This time, we're going to be using decent machines and a decent environment. I had requested an upgrade to D2009 before starting, but was told that I had to do a reasonable evaluation before the company would spend the money. I've started doing that. My first step was to install an evaluation version of D2009 (from a suspiciously flowery USB stick) into a pre-built XP VM that I had handy. It didn't work. D2009 wanted MDAC2.8 service pack 1 which I downloaded from MS. The MDAC installer just told me that this software does not work on the this OS. I wonder which OS MDAC is supposed to work on. VMS maybe? I changed tack, and did a bit of sweet-talking to the infra-structure guys. They gave me a Windows 7 RC1 iso to use for building my VM. That went swimmingly well. The 7 VM was even able to get internet access from within our horrendously locked down corporate network. Next, I tried the D2009 installer on this VM. It wanted a license key. Using my host machine, I tried to get one from the Embarcadero web site. No luck. I tried several browsers (opera, IE6 etc) but none worked. Back within the Windows 7 VM, I tried using IE8 to get a key from Embarcadero. Success! D2009 installed and now runs. So now I am astonished. My Windows 7 VM lives on a 1TB USB drive plugged into the host machine. D2009 is installed in that VM. I cannot believe how fast it all is. Starting D2006 in my host (XP) machine takes about 2 minutes. Starting my Windows 7 VM, then starting D2009 in the VM takes about 30 seconds all up. I'll do some more evaluation, but so far I am extremely impressed with the improvements that both MS have achieved with 7, and Embarcadero (CodeGear) have achieved with D2009. I'm still flabbergasted that the VM is s much faster than the host, especially since the VM is actually running on the host.

[DUG] Styling of TMainMenu
Good morning. I got a TMainMenu which doesn't seem to be picking up on the 'XP Styling / Theme'. The header and other parts of the software are using the XP theme (so it seems) but the TMainMenu still the plain grey menu - not the XPish one with the white gutter on the side (depending on theme). Using D2007 and have ticked 'Use runtime theme' from Project - Options - Applications I thought were was a setting I could change on the TMainMenu which would tell it to use XP style.

Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.

I don't think it's as stable and I've lost a bit of work due to it crashing (bout an hours work which I was able to reproduce within about 10 minutes). I like the refactoring tools, the code templates save heaps to time (even just the automatic matching of begin/ends), the error insight helps spot errors instantly, rather than at compile time. The docked layout is heaps better (on a large screen), VCL Guidelines are really handy, and probably heaps of other stuff that I now take for granted (but would hate to live without). I think everyone running D7 should upgrade D2007 (well, D2009 shortly), the only reason not to would be if you're missing the code to some critical components, or that they are now unsupported and wont easily compile under D2007 - which was the challenging part of upgrading from D7 to D2006 for me (getting all the 3rd party components to play nice with each other).

Building a stand-alone Web service with Indy
Abstract: This article shows how to build a Web service using Indy and
Delphi 6. By Dave Nottage.
This article explains how to fit Indy into Delphi 6's Web services (SOAP)
support. For more on creating Web services, please refer to Nick Hodges's
excellent Borland Community article, Shakespeare on the Web.
I can't remember exactly why I built the application that follows. For
whatever reason, I needed to find an easy way of building a stand-alone Web
service -- that is, one that doesn't require a Web server.
A recent post in the borland.public.delphi.webservices.soap newsgroup and a
gentle hint from elsewhere have prompted me to drag out the code, clean it
up, and brush a few of the cobwebs out of my head. This article is the
result.
Fitting Indy into WebBroker
The components in Delphi 6's SOAP support are based around WebBroker.
Typically in a WebBroker application, a component that implements
IWebDispatch lives on a TWebModule. In the case of a SOAP server, it's
THTTPSoapDispatcher:
SOAP Web Module
The major goal here was to leave as much of this default arrangement intact
as possible. So instead of attempting to fiddle with the SOAP components, I
stuck with WebBroker.
Looking at the WebBroker architecture, I noted that the underlying
technology is independent of the type of application. ISAPI, CGI, whatever
-- it doesn't matter. The basic principles are the same: You have a request
from the client (TWebRequest) and a response from the server
(TWebResponse).
Indy's Request/Response mechanism of TIdHTTPServer is similar, so I figured
I could simply create wrapper classes similar to those used in ISAPI and
CGI applications, and hook them into the CommandGet method of TIdHTTPServer
so requests would be handled.
The result is the code in IndyApp.PAS and IndyHTTP.PAS (which correspond to
xxxApp and xxxHTTP for ISAPI, CGI, COM, and son on). Note that not all of
the methods of TWebRequestIndy and TWebResponseIndy have complete
implementations. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of Indy than I have
can finish it off. g
Turning a WebAppDebugger app into Indy
Since there is no Indy SOAP Server Application wizard (perhaps I'll find
time to build one later), and the aim was to create a stand-alone
executable, the most logical choice was to start with the SOAP Server
Application wizard (File | New | Other, WebServices tab, SOAP Server
Application):
Gallery - Web Services
...and choose Web App Debugger executable. That's just what I did. I used a
dummy CoClass name, because the code generated for it would be removed
later:
New SOAP Server
In the main form unit's implementation:
unit Unit1;
interface
uses
SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
uses ComApp;
{$R *.DFM}
const
CLASS_ComWebApp: TGUID = '{44139136-EFD0-4044-8A3C-13484508A833}';
initialization
TWebAppAutoObjectFactory.Create(Class_ComWebApp, 'Dummy', 'Dummy
Object');
end.
I removed the uses clause, the CLASS_ComWebApp const, and the
initialization section. The conditional define: {$APPTYPE GUI} was not
required, so that was removed also. In the uses clause, I changed COMApp to
IndyApp, and the DefaultPort property was set to what I wanted (1024)
before Application.Initialize, with Active set to true once the main form
had been created.
Service, please
Using the Invokable Wizard (which I co-authored with Borland), I created a
simple interface and invokable class. The implementation unit (DemoImpl)
was added to the project's uses clause (to make sure that the invokable
class is registered when the app runs), and I was away!
I ran the app, pointed my browser at http://localhost:1024/wsdl/IDemo, and
lo and behold, the WSDL was published!
Thanks to my hours of blood, sweat and tears, you too can have your own
stand-alone Web service application, all without the aid of .NET -- or even
a Web server.
Refer to Nick Hodges's article for advice on how to create a Web service
client to access the Web service.

Re: [DUG] POST from a Delphi win32 app
A 'cheap / hack' of a solution would be to have your own hidden TWebbrowser on your TForm. Make this load up a temporary html from which has all the options you want in it - then set the form action=address to your website method=POST traget=_blank So the user wont see it, you generate that html form yourself and then use javascript to do a onload=submit my form As I said, it's a nasty little hack but would work quite well. The other way of posting something, is to use indy, however then you don't get the web browser opening with the results for the end user.

In Delphi code, the ReadLn procedure reads a line of text and then

ReadLn(F) with no parameters causes the current file position to

the beginning of the next line if there is one; otherwise, it goes
to the

If F is omitted, the global variable Input is used, which
accesses the

raises
special issues.

Rob, Thanks, firebird doesn't sound to bad, and you can use native Delphi components with firebird to from what i've read.

Re: [DUG] Simple VCL for web aplication
Rob,
That is basically what you are after... Then you just use indy or one of
the other components to grab that page and process the results.
For example you could have a php page like this
?PHP
If (isset($_GET['ping'])) {
echo Pong;
}
?
Then in your Delphi app do this
showmessage(idhttp1.get('http://www.somesite.com/mypage.php?ping=t'));
Which would give you, Pong.
Then you could also do
?PHP
If (isset($_GET['getclients'])) {
//connect to database, drop out clients line by line in csv format
}
?
in delphi app
stringlist.text :=
idhttp.get('http://www.somesite.com/mypage.php?getclients');
showmessage(inttostr(stringlist.count));
//then loop list, split on the comma and process
Of course you will be wanting to encypt all that etc but just an example.

Yeah, that sounds easier (less to install, distribute and

Rob,
Sounds like just using Indy idHttp (preferably over https) with
php would do all you need.
So you could call something like mypage.php?option=getclients
Which can return the client data as csv back to your delphi app,
just like getting a web page - advantage of that is gets around
some firewalls that block lots of ports but leave 80 open ;-)
However anyone watching the wire could see that url being
requested, and when they type it into there browser they see all
the client data as well so you can either encrypt the parameters
and decrypt them in php, or use https.
I've used similar approaches to the above for bug submissions and
customer registrations and works well.

A further requirement is a web page (s) that can display

Now in this example when it's ran and button 1 is clicked - Hi is added
to the Memo1 and Bob is added.
So why can I assign Memo1 to T and all actions done to T are done to
Memo1, but the same isn't with the Record.
Is it because Record isn't from TObject?
I guess it's like
var
a,b : integer;
begin
a := 1;
b := a;
b := 10; //a still = 1 which is what I would expect
end;
so is it because TMemo is an Object and the record and a,b above are
just variables?

Re: [DUG] O.o hmmm ok
Right that makes sense :-)
So you could use a pointer then?
example
type
TMyRec = Record
name : string;
end;
var
a : TMyRec;
b : ^TMyRec;
begin
a.name := 'Bob';
b := @a;
b.name := 'Smile';
showmessage(a.name); //shows Smile

This means that in the following code is the Assignment 1 and Assignment
2 are semantically identical:
Var a, b: record
name: String;
age: Integer;
end;
Begin
a.name := 'Me';
a.age := 39;
// Assignment 1
b := a;
// Assignment 2
b.name := a.name;
b.age := a.age;
End;

Got something weird here - weird because I probably don't understand

like this
PRec := MyArrayofPRec[0];
PRec.name := 'Hi';
Now for some reason I was expecting MyArrayOfPRec[0].name to be now
'Hi'

Here is an example that I whipped up just now which lead me to expect
this.
type
TMyRec = Record

[DUG] Best way to make this thread safe
I got a function here I use for logging to a richedit on my main form
(this is just in functions unit)
Procedure WriteLog(sString : string; opt : LogOption);
Begin
With frmMain.reLog do
begin
If lines.Count 200 then lines.Delete(0);
lines.add(sString);
SelStart := length(text) - (length(sString)+2);
SelLength := length(sString);
Case LogOption(opt) of
loStart : begin SelAttributes.Style := [fsbold];
SelAttributes.Color := clBlue; end;
loNormal : begin SelAttributes.Style := [];
SelAttributes.Color := clBlack; end;
loError : begin SelAttributes.Style := [fsbold];
SelAttributes.Color := clRed;end;
loFinished: begin SelAttributes.Style := [fsbold];
SelAttributes.Color := clBlue; lines.add(''); end;
End;
SelStart := Length(Text);
Perform(EM_SCROLLCARET, 0, 0);
end;
End;
Now I want to use that function in my threads to log things. However if
I call it just like this
WriteLog('Failed to connect! DB Error', loError);
I could run into access violations
But not quite sure the best way to do this to make it thread safe and
use as little extra code as possible..
Should I create my own function like this
WriteLogThread('Failed to connect! DB Error', loError);
in my TThread
and then in that procedure just do
criticalsection start
WriteLog(message, st); //this calls the function in my general
functions unit
criticalsection end
or could I just use critical sections in my functions unit around the
procedure.
I hope that makes sense =)
Thanks guys.

Re: [DUG] Best way to make this thread safe
Matt,
That sounds similar to Smart Inspect.
I have been using that now for a month or so and it's very very handy.
Thanks for your other email :-)
Matt Comb wrote:
Good Point.
Actually I have developed a threadsafe socket logger. Its pretty cool
actually. You have an logger application running in your system tray and all
you need to do is link in the client / helper units to your code and call
LogMessage(text)
Or
LogMessage(Category, Text) the category will output onto a separate tab
within the socket logger.
I couldn't do without this tool for Delphi developing. It saves stuffing
around with controls or text files, and is fully thread safe. I've used it
on a number of commercial contracts and its been adopted as a usuful in
house tool.
If anyone is interested, I can forward through the code.
Cheers,
Matt.

Yup, that should do the trick in this case.
The following isn't really answering your question, and obviously it
depends on the circumstances, but for logging for a developer's benefit,
I just use the OutputDebugString function in the Windows unit, and then
use DbgView from SysInternals to log the output from my apps that way.
Don't have to worry about threading/logging issues then. Maybe that's
some help to somebody.

If you're wanting to manipulate the VCL you need to call
synchronize(aMethod), which will sync your thread to the main
application thread - the VCL is not thread-safe. In aMethod you could
do your writelog. But I'm also not much of a threading expert so
someone else may have a better method.

[DUG] Why use a set when a string will work OK (and less code)?
Why use a set when string work ok? (and I think it's a set)
Question: I have seen this quite a bit and apparently it's good
practice however to me it seems like more work.
Example
Whats the point in doing this
MyStatus = (Active, Pending, Ended, Paused, Deleted, Suspended););
type
Something = class
name : string;
status : MyStatus;
end;
then example on create or something
status := Active;
(yes, missed out lots of steps :P)
and now if I want to show the status, I have to do something like..
If status = MyStatus(Active) then showmessage('Active');
If status = MyStatus(Pending) then showmessage('Pending'); etc
Why go though all that hassle when just doing this is fine
status : string;
status := 'Active'
showmessage(status);
so instead of using MyStatus types I just use a string - this means
when I want to output the status to the user I don't have to try and
convert it to string first.
So, why do it?

Re: [DUG] Why use a set when a string will work OK (and less code)?
Hi Sean,
Thanks for the reply. Indeed I can see the benefit and use them in other
parts of my program - but for something like status which does get acted
on and displayed I was wondering what was best. You example code below
would solve my initial query - thanks for that!
:-)
Sean Cross wrote:
Because then you are forever checking status with code like
If Status = 'Active' then ..
Else if Status = 'Pending'...
So you end up using consts. And you still have the problem that your Status
may end up as '' or 'Ative' or 'as323'
And you can't use case statements.
If status is purely informational, then using a string is fine. Once you start
checking it and acting on it, then string based code becomes increasingly ugly.
What I do is something like:
TMyStatus = (Active, Pending, Ended, Paused, Deleted, Suspended);
StatusMeanings = array[TMyStatus] of string = ('Active', 'Pending', 'Ended',
'Paused', 'Deleted', 'Suspended');
...
ShowMessage(StatusMeanings[Status]);

Nice thats even shorter :-)
So following on from this, what happens when you want to do something
like this
TMyStatus = (Active, Pending, Ended, Paused, Deleted, Suspended);
TLogLevel = (Normal,Error,Ended);
This will cause an error as Ended appears twice.
How you can you get around this?

Indeed, but I mean just doing this

TLogLevel = (Normal,Error,Ended);
(as in, just writing that) wont compile as I get an error 'Identifier

try

Request.CopyFrom( StrStrm, 0 );
finally
StrStrm.Free;

end;
However, it still doesn't overwrite the request

I might be missing something obvious, but I can't

I put a showmessage('hi'); in my new

My goal is simply to manage INI files as I expect them to behave, so I can avoid unexpected consequences of Vista. At present I am using Delphi's built in TINIfile, which I am guessing calls Windows API code. I think in my brief tests of Vista there were issues writing to settings files including .ini files but I thought it was to do with fil permissions - that is once I allowed full access to the folder where the ini files were then all seemed to behave. Anyone have more information on if and how Vista changes access to ini files? Does D2007 contain changes to Tinifile to cater for this? Any issues for earlier versions? I am guessing if Vista has changed the rules is maybe similar to how it restricts access to certain parts of the registry hives...

[DUG] SOAP Question (lets see who the soap guru's are :P)
Right, I am trying to get an app written which in Delphi 2006 to do
with the Google Adwords API.
The old method I did was
Program sends data to my web server -- Web server handles all the
soap to Google -- Info is sent back to my program
All done with indy.
However I want to get away from that method and talk soap right to
Google.
So, I fired up Delphi, created a new application.
Then Imported one of the WSDL's from Google
( With project open (must be open), File, New, Other, Webservices, WSDL
importer)
And now I have my pas file.
I put that in the uses section of my first form (at the top before the

Now... what the heck do I do with it. I have spent the best part of 4
hours trying to figure this out and im getting no-where.
Here is the WSDL location (of one of them)
https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v10/TrafficEstimatorService?wsdl
I have also attached the generated pas file.
O.o
My brain hurts, and all I have got is With
GetInfoInterface(true,'',HTTPRIO1) do
lol

Re: [DUG] SOAP Question (lets see who the soap guru's are :P)
Sure, I wonder if the generated pas between 2006 and 2007 is that much different. If it is then will be a good sales pitch to the boss! Thanks :-) Jeremy North wrote: I'll run the WSDL through D2007 and email you the pas file if you want (or someone else does it before me). I recommend upgrading to 2007.

[DUG] Weird behavior in Vista
Got this app that I just installed in Vista and noticed something weird. If I open the task manager, then open my application I see that it starts off with using 40mb of ram, then if I close it right away, it closes on screen, but in the task manager it stays open and starts using all the cpu. Now, if I rename the file from a.exe to b.exe, when I start it it uses 4mb of ram, and when it close it, it actually closes. O.o Windows XP has no problems with this, it's just a pretty standard application. One of my other programs doesn't have this issue. Tried this user two separate users on the machine, same fault. If im not free'ing something up properly then I would expect it to still happen when I rename the file to b.exe (note, when I rename it back from b.exe to a.exe the fault happens again).

Re: [DUG] Weird behavior in Vista
Nope nothing silly, I just redid my installer script so it puts a - on the end of the file name, and that works fine so it seems Windows has said at some stage - this program called 'x.exe' do something to. I am guessing that if I install this on another Vista pc it will be fine. Wonder how I can reset this phantom setting without reinstalling the os.

Re: [DUG] Weird behavior in Vista
Success :-) I combed the registry looking for my filename and found a folder in here (named after my program filename) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options I simply renamed the folder to and ran my program as normal and it worked fine. So.

Re: [DUG] Weird behavior in Vista
As per my last email. Just did a google search and pulled up this http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2004/04/28/121871.aspx Which makes sense, as I was using the simple user compatibility tool to check my app with last week, it must of stuck some values in the registry (in that location) and not canned them which caused this problem. Ah well, only an hour wasted as I was going back through the program changes history to find out what I did to break it on vista lol. Good times Paul Eggleton wrote: Matt Comb wrote on Friday, 20 April 2007 10:52 a.m.: Is your exe by any chance called: Trojan.exe Explorer.exe or anything else that may cause XP to hurl ;) I was thinking that too. A long time ago (the Windows 95 days) Windows used to do some application compatibility stuff based on the name of the executable, and it's possible it still does that. Maybe it's more aggressive under Vista than it used to be.

Re: [DUG] Components / PageControl
Hi Robert, I use the TMS component set and it's more then worth it's price, haven't had a problem with it in Vista, colors show up fine but then I don't use any DBEdits. Jedi VCL the other component set your thinking about? Robert martin wrote: Rob Martin Software Engineer phone +64 03 377 0495 fax +64 03 377 0496 web www.chreos.com Wild Software Ltd Hi We have been looking further at our problems with TPageControl in Vista. Originally we thought we could fix the problem (or TDBEdits not being the same colour as the page by adding ParentBackground as a property - didn't work). However the problem is worse as pagecontrols with 'Flatbuttons' show as clbtnFace while normal tabs show as white (on Vista). We have flat tab pages inside normal tab pages and so end up with the situation where Some tabs are white while some tabs are clBtnFace. We are considering changing to a third party component that allows us to fix the colours. What do you guys think of this as a solution? We are considering getting the tms software component pack for the TadvPagecontrol and some other components that look usefull. Has anyone used these / comments? What would others recommend? There is a component set everyone always talks about but I forget the name?
