[DUG]: TDateTimePicker Time Format

Using D5, I want the TDateTimePicker in dtkTime mode to display the time as hh:nn:ss (24 hour clock), however, it seems it decides it's own format based on the regional time settings. I tried changing the LongTimeFormat & ShortTimeFormat to no avail. Is there anyway to change the format witho

RE: [DUG]: seem to remember...autoincrement version number

Here's a function which retrieves the version number, major, minor & build. Change the result format to suit your requirements e.g. zero padded numbers. function GetExeVersionStr: string; var Dummy: DWORD; FileVerInfoSize: integer; Buffer: PChar; PFFI: PVSFixedFileInfo; FFISize: DWORD; b

Re: [DUG]: Ellipsis truncation

Call the WinAPI function DrawText (or it might have been DrawTextEx), and one of the options is to shorten the string with an ellipsis. You can also get DrawText to return the shortened string, rather than draw it on the canvas. Dennis. - Original Message - From: "Nahum Wild" <[EMAIL PR

I've been playing around with TClientDataSets -> TDataSetProvider -> TQuery. I have noticed that when I call RefreshRecord to retrieves the entire table (1900 records) to refresh a single record. This seems a bit of an overkill to me. Is there anyway of refreshing just a single record? Alis

Re: [DUG]: seem to remember...autoincrement version number

The way we use version numbering is strings and manually maintaining them. I have a bit of code that will read the string from the VersionInfo Key/value pair and give you the string to display etc. Let me know if you want it ... you just pass the Key and it returns the value. Regards Paul McKenzie

RE: [DUG]: seem to remember...autoincrement version number

I believe it is effectively the same, apart from the fact that Paul can presumably view his VersionInfo from the Version tab of the property pages for his executable in Explorer, etc. I think you may have to compromise here. ;-) a) Have Delphi auto-increment the number, lose preceding zeroes. b)

RE: [DUG]: seem to remember...autoincrement version number

RE: [DUG]: seem to remember...autoincrement version number

My code is purely to pull a version number from the header (presumably?) of a compiled exe; i.e. if you right click on an exe in Explorer and view it's Version information, you can see a FileVersion number which my code can also retrieve, e.g., if you want to display it in an About box. Basically,

Re: [DUG]: seem to remember...autoincrement version number

What we used is to create our oun Key/Value pair in the VersionInfo tab and manually update (increment) the version numbering ie Key" "VersionNumber" Value: "1.84.0036" - That way the string can be anything you like (eg our current version "06.10.00") Regards Paul McKenzie Analyst Programmer SMSS l
