re: source - yes I am using the same source files.  I removed all of
my previous files and used just the contents from the file I supplied
plus the additional lines you suggested.

Explanations are good, because I do not have a good idea how this
works and there is little documentation on http server application.
RegisterFileLocation, AllowDefaultModule and AllowDefaultModule are
not found in the chm help files and googling for them does not find
anything useful.  If any documentation exists, please provide a link.
I would love to RTFM ("read the FINE manual").

Assuming that one module is better than two, I removed the
RegisterHTTPModule('Main', TMain);  &
Application.DefaultModuleName:='main';  lines, but that did not help.
I was unable to get the http server to provide anything.

For this simple example, should I have two modules or should I only
the default module? If using only the default module is acceptable,
how would I use it?

re: the images directory - once I get this working (making an
assumption), I want to have all of my images located in a secondary
directory and all of my html files in the main (server root)
directory.
Eventually:  ImageDir  := GetCurrentDir + DirectorySeparator + 'image';

Do you (or anyone) have a working example of one or two http server
applications, preferable with images on the web page?

Michael,

After adding the above lines (thank you) and using
http://localhost:8081/index.html, I get a blank page (and nothing on
the source page).  (tested using both FF and Chrome)

The only way I am able to see the expected web page is by using:
http://localhost:8081/main/default (still no image).

When I use Application.DefaultModuleName:='main', then going to
http://localhost:8081/ I see the expected page (still no image).

re: Modules - I have two modules?  I see the Main module (
RegisterHTTPModule('Main', TMain)), but where is the 2nd module?
'img' is suppose to be the location for my image files.  (in this
case, in the same directory as the application)

[Lazarus] Debugger Error: "PC register is not available"

[John Repucci]

I just encountered the below pop-up error message when debugging.

Within that one session of Laz, I was able to reproduce the message,
but once I existed / restarted Lazarus, it did not reoccur.

Any suggestions for the next time I encounter it?

code segment:  sA,sB are strings; I was able to step past the sA line
and sA evaluated correctly.  Every time I attempted to step over the
sB line, I received the error.
  sA := KeyStrings.Strings[0];
  sB := KeyStrings.Strings[1];

Is it possible to get a listing of all of the wiki pages?

Every time I search the wiki or get terse responses to my questions (ie:
RTFW - read the FINE wiki), I suspect there is a lot more info in the wiki
than I find with my search queries.

As much as I would like to get answers directly (and promptly) from the
source experts, I would prefer that the developers be allowed to focus on
development (if that is their passion).  I would rather have a set of SMEs
(subject matter experts) as a buffer.  Yes, they will have to ask the
developers questions, but they can act as intelligent filters and
translators (meanings of questions, not language). This would also help
develop the next set of developers or documentation writers, as they will
develop systems to help the inexperienced help themselves.

[Lazarus] fcl-stl / thashset question

[John Repucci]

I'm attempting to use thashset from the fcl-stl unit.

It appears that fcl-stl is not compiled with the fpc that comes with
Lazarus-0.9.31-35589-fpc-2.6.1-20120225-win32.

While fcl-stl is in the source, it is not found in the units directory
tree.  (this is also true of fpc-2.7.1.i386-win32 that I downloaded
yesterday).

Any suggestions how I might get a version of fpc that includes fcl-stl?

[Lazarus] App Seg Faults when -gh is unchecked

[John Repucci]

I've had this happen to me twice now.

I'm developing the app in the Lazarus IDE and all is well.  Then I uncheck
the -gh option ("Use Heaptrc Unit"), run my program and I get a Segmentation
Fault before any of the program shows up.  This happens both within the IDE
(via F9) and when I run the program outside of the IDE.

When I remove heaptrc from my uses clause AND uncheck -gh, all is well.

Thoughts?  Is this a bug which I should report?

See:  http://code.google.com/p/powtils/  - It appears that changes have been
made as recently as Aug 06, 2011.

http://code.google.com/p/powtils/downloads/list - this link leads to v1.7.1,
last updated Feb 2008

The above is not a recommendation - I have not attempted to use powutils and
as Graeme suggests, the version I found might not compile.

I can envision cases where I would like a completely empty SG and cases
where I would like the fixed rows / columns to survive.
ex 1: Instead of creating a 2nd SG with a completely different header
structure and purpose, wipe the original, add in the desired new fixed cells
and start to fill it.
ex: 2: (my current case...) Load in data, process it and then I need to
purge the data, so I clear the SG and load in more data.

[Lazarus] Should StringGrid1.Clear clear the fixed rows / columns?

[John Repucci]

I have a fixed row in my SG with the titles for the columns, but when I do a
SG.clear, the fixed rows are deleted.
I understand why that is happening (the so-called fixed rows are just row
[0] within the SG).

However, it would be nice if the fixed rows were not affected by the clear.
Am I missing something in the setup of the SG which would prevent the fixed
row from being cleared or is this a bug or a potential enhancement request?

I could implement something like VirtualStringView/Tree and I am using that
elsewhere in my program for another purpose, but I was looking for a
lightweight grid.

[Lazarus] OnGuard component: CreateMachineID not working?

[John Repucci]

I'm seeing an oddity with the CreateMachineID function within the OnGuard
component.
Is there anyone who has used this component in depth?
Any idea who I would submit a ticket to or who can tell me if I'm doing
something wrong?

I'm using the CreateMachineID code to pull an id for networking, drives and
then Networking + Drives and the values I'm getting do not seem correct:

Network,Drives,  Network + Drives
42312D6C, CA7CFA8F, 42312D6C

I would not expect that Network = Network + Drives?

I did see the conversation about OnGuard in early 2010 about drive ID's, so
I'm getting leery of using the drive ID information.


var
  InfoSet  : TEsMachineInfoSet;
  HWInfo   : LongInt;
  HWInfoNW : LongInt;  // the Network HWInfo
  HWInfoDr : LongInt;  // the Drive HWInfo
  sHWInfo, sHWInfoNW, sHWInfoDr : String;
Begin
try
  InfoSet := [];
  InfoSet := InfoSet + [midNetwork];
  HWInfoNW := CreateMachineID(InfoSet);  // Request just the Network Info
  sHWInfoNW := BufferToHex(HWInfoNW, SizeOf(LongInt));

  InfoSet := [];
  InfoSet := InfoSet + [midDrives];
  HWInfoDR := CreateMachineID(InfoSet);  // request just the Drive Info
  sHWInfoDr := BufferToHex(HWInfoDr, SizeOf(LongInt));

  InfoSet := [];
  InfoSet := InfoSet + [midDrives] + [midNetwork];
  HWInfo := CreateMachineID(InfoSet);   //  Request both Network & Drive Info
  sHWInfo := BufferToHex(HWInfo, SizeOf(LongInt));

  Edit1.Text := sHWInfoNW + ', ' + sHWInfoDr + ', ' + sHWInfo;//

Mattias,
I tried this with a simple blank form project and it worked perfectly
and as expected.  All of the files (.lpi, .lpr, pas, lrm, etc... )
files moved to the new folder and compiled.  I'll try again with the
OnGuard examples to see if I continue to have issues.

I've copied the example from OnGuard to a new directory via my (not so
favorite windows explorer) file manager, but I am unable to get a
clean compile.  sigh.  More time to spend on this.

All, Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
John

Ignoring the effort to make the changes ...

Is either of these procedures (move one file at a time or edit the lpi
file) the way this should ideally work?

I was expecting that Save Project As ... would allow me to clone the
project so I could start a spin-off.   Would "Project / Publish
Project do a clone?

Is there any reason I should not create an enhancement / feature
request to change this behavior?

[Lazarus] Project / Save Project As ... - expected behavior?

[John Repucci]

If I have a project that works (ie: compiles correctly...) and I do a
Project / Save Project As ... into a different directory with a
different name, should I expect that the new project should contain
all necessary files and compile correctly?

OnGuard example program: "codegen"  - If I compile it, it works just fine.
When I do a Project Save As ...into a different directory, I only find
two files in the new directory - NewCodeGen.lpi and NewCodeGen.lpr.
And (duh...), the application fails to compile, complaining it cannot
find a unit (codegenu, in this case).

0.9.31-29846, win32-Vista.

[Lazarus] OnGuard component question

[John Repucci]

Graeme (or others...)

Last year you (Graeme) mentioned that you had split the OnGuard
package in two.  Did you release any of your work?  tponguard_lcl.lpk
/ tponguard.lpk
(http://www.mail-archive.com/lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/msg06252.html)

I want to create a license manager using the "codegen" program as a
starting point and am struggling to untangle the example program from
the package.

I also need to fix a portion of codegen.  The "special data" is
defined as longint, but the special data field in the codegen form
does not accept negative numbers.  I am wondering if I can change that
to a longword or fix the code to accept a negative sign.

TIA.
John

[Lazarus] Undefined symbol errors after adding TOpenDialog

[John Repucci]

I added an OpenDialog to a form and started getting the following
errors, with the Source Editor pointing to the end of my .lpr file.
Remove the OpenDialog did not make the errors vanish.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
