A retired champion for now so I have time. I don't remember if I install ZEOS on my D11 version, but I always use SVN (http://svn.code.sf.net/p/zeoslib/code-0/trunk) version of ZEOSDBO, perhaps this is why I don't mind this compatibility trouble 😄 as you can see also ready for Delphi 12 Athenes Best wishes for new year

Not only I think, my last pro applications were written with fmx (even for windows) in mind Linux (not MacOS) distribution. Tutorials ? I don't think there is much. I wrote some French ones for Livebindings, TListview and building components you can find here, take a look at my blog too 😉 My first steps with fmx were watching all videos I can found from Embarcadero events and others. I don't use all that getit template stuff but think there is something to dig there And remember there are a lot of samples in demo directory Fresh retired, my top ten to-do list is to finish my tutorial "writing fmx components : RadioGroupBox" and beginning a book on FMX Styles

Not sure, but take a look at ZEOSDBO components . (portal)

For each question (first one) I suggest you to indicate Delphi version. use a TPageControl linked to a TImageList. You can change for each tab the imageindex property (-1 to "hide" image) If Delphi 11, for the Font Color problems, with new versions you have to take care of StyleElements property, if you have set some appearance (style) to the project and don't remove seFont from the array then color you set at runtime should not be taken into account. Here, appearance is set to "Windows10 blue", button1.click code Label1.font.Color:=clred; is inefficient except if you set Label1.StyleElements:=Label1.StyleElements-[seFont]

so, use this one not only dat2.sqlite. you can also use '..\..\Data\dat2.sqlite' (second ..\ go up one level win32 first ..\ to project) if you want to use only dat2.sqlite database have to be in this directory

Are you sure of that? Program in debug mode is in a xxx\win32\debug directory where xxx is where are your project, unit and dfm path

You can add parameters , just adding an array FDQuery1.Open('SELECT * FROM DAT2 WHERE <Column>=:V',[<aValue>]); easy, and quick, no need to close FDQuery1

'D:\Database=Delphi 11 Community\My Projects\FDTest\Data\dat2.sqlite' Problem is here. I don't think path is correct. First this = is somehow perturbing me, and those white spaces 🙄 don't help I suspect you use part of the info here but, don't use 'Database' just the database file path Then I am not sure your database is disconnected when you run program (set option ActiveStoredUsage to [] or only [auDesignTime] as @haentschman simplify your code, code can be only FDquery1.Open(query); or FDquery1.Open('Select * from DAT2'); And last but not least, you will be confronted with a "locking" problem if you don't set connexion option LockingMode to Normal

Did you consider using regular expressions ? uses system.regularexpressions; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var reg : TRegEx; r : String; const s = 'This is (string) which need to (remove)'; begin reg:=TRegEx.Create('\([^()]*\)'); r:=reg.Replace(s,''); showmessage(r); end;

Hum, looking at your dfm, I saw you use DBX components (hate those 😄). I was wondering why till I click on the link ! My suggestion still the same, use Firedac components 😉 As samples, you can find some clues in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Samples\Object Pascal\Database\FireDAC\Samples\Getting Started\SQLite and more Let me show you my version of your objective unit1.dfm and .pas object Form1: TForm1 Left = 0 Top = 0 Width = 686 Height = 501 AutoScroll = True Caption = 'SQlite test' Color = clAqua Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET Font.Color = clWindowText Font.Height = -12 Font.Name = 'Segoe UI' Font.Style = [] OnCreate = FormCreate TextHeight = 15 object DBGrid1: TDBGrid Left = 0 Top = 0 Width = 672 Height = 177 Align = alTop DataSource = DataSource1 TabOrder = 0 TitleFont.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET TitleFont.Color = clWindowText TitleFont.Height = -12 TitleFont.Name = 'Segoe UI' TitleFont.Style = [] end object DBNavigator1: TDBNavigator Left = 0 Top = 177 Width = 672 Height = 25 DataSource = DataSource1 Align = alTop TabOrder = 1 ExplicitTop = 183 end object Button1: TButton Left = 120 Top = 208 Width = 75 Height = 25 Caption = 'Button1' TabOrder = 2 OnClick = Button1Click end object Memo1: TMemo Left = 0 Top = 237 Width = 672 Height = 229 Align = alBottom Lines.Strings = ( 'This will be fed via Button1 click') ScrollBars = ssVertical TabOrder = 3 end object FDConnection1: TFDConnection Params.Strings = ( 'Database=C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Sampl' + 'es\Data\fddemo.sdb' 'LockingMode=Normal' 'DriverID=SQLite') ConnectedStoredUsage = [] Connected = True LoginPrompt = False Left = 288 Top = 16 end object FDTable1: TFDTable IndexFieldNames = 'CategoryID' Connection = FDConnection1 ResourceOptions.AssignedValues = [rvEscapeExpand] TableName = 'Categories' Left = 176 Top = 32 end object DataSource1: TDataSource DataSet = FDTable1 Left = 376 Top = 48 end end unit Unit1; interface uses Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics, Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.ExtCtrls, Vcl.DBCtrls, Vcl.Grids, Vcl.DBGrids, Vcl.StdCtrls, Data.DB, FireDAC.Stan.Intf, FireDAC.Stan.Option, FireDAC.Stan.Error, FireDAC.UI.Intf, FireDAC.Phys.Intf, FireDAC.Stan.Def, FireDAC.Stan.Pool, FireDAC.Stan.Async, FireDAC.Phys, FireDAC.Phys.SQLite, FireDAC.Phys.SQLiteDef, FireDAC.Stan.ExprFuncs, FireDAC.Phys.SQLiteWrapper.Stat, FireDAC.VCLUI.Wait, FireDAC.Stan.Param, FireDAC.DatS, FireDAC.DApt.Intf, FireDAC.DApt, FireDAC.Comp.DataSet, FireDAC.Comp.Client ; type TForm1 = class(TForm) FDConnection1: TFDConnection; DBGrid1: TDBGrid; DBNavigator1: TDBNavigator; Button1: TButton; Memo1: TMemo; FDTable1: TFDTable; DataSource1: TDataSource; procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject); procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject); private { Déclarations privées } public { Déclarations publiques } end; var Form1: TForm1; implementation {$R *.dfm} uses StrUtils; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var I: Integer; S : String; begin fdtable1.First; memo1.Lines.Clear; while not Fdtable1.EOF do begin memo1.Lines.Add('knowing fieldnames and type'); memo1.Lines.Add(Format('%s %s %s',[fdtable1.FieldByName('CategoryID').asString, fdtable1.FieldByName('CategoryName').asString, fdtable1.FieldByName('Description').asString])); memo1.Lines.Add('using fielddefs'); S:=''; for I := 0 to FdTable1.FieldDefs.Count - 1 do begin if FDtable1.Fields[i].DataType=ftBlob // not readable data then S:=S+' (GRAPHIC)' else S:=S+Ifthen(I>0,' ','')+ // no separator for for first field FDtable1.Fields[i].asString; end; Memo1.Lines.Add(S); fdtable1.Next; end; fdtable1.First; end; procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin fdtable1.Open(); end; end. Note. Table used contains only a few records so it is acceptable to use this sort of code, with huge one a thread should be considered, but, for a beginner it's a big piece

One other way is to use a Query as datasource, then you can rename columns or set columns and so on i.e SELECT ...., KASE_EINSTELLUNGEN as DRAWBACK_CALCULATION, 0 AS PRINT_SMALLBONS .... FROM You said you use onNewRecord but, did you try onBeforePost ? (I don't check if this event is called)

Think this page is for Delphi Community version

Agree @Stano Firebird SQL is a very good RDBMS, all my pro GPAO suite use it. SQLite has also some advantages for mono-station programs ZeosLib can be used with many database system, not only firebird ones You have only to change Zconnection.protocol parameter to sqlite (or sqlite-3). If you find more doc ZEOSDBO+Firebird you can apply all (or at least a good part of) the doc to SQlite as well. Effectively when I wrote (never finished, but on the web) a (French) tutorial about ZEOS components my samples was Firebid ones also

Ah, the "synch" one ! I never search for this one. In my mind you need at least to declare in your code procedure ObserverToggle(const AObserver: IObserver; const Value: Boolean); protected function CanObserve(const ID: Integer): Boolean; override; Then check a unit like FMX.Listview.pas (searching 'observer') EditLinkID, PositionLinkID and IteratorLinkID (from System.Classes) seems to be the keys

have a look at http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Seattle/en/Tutorial:_Creating_LiveBindings-Enabled_Components in short, you need to declare these procedures and function in your component code procedure ObserverToggle(const AObserver: IObserver; const Value: Boolean); protected function CanObserve(const ID: Integer): Boolean; override; procedure ObserverAdded(const ID: Integer; const Observer: IObserver); override; and do some register observable members If you read French, I wrote some tutorials (part I, part II)

Got same issue. As workaround, I force UseCustomGlyphs to true at runtime. procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin for var ctrl in GetControls() do begin if ctrl is TRzCheckBox then TRZCheckBox(ctrl).UseCustomGlyphs:=true; end; end;

Can I make two suggestions? First one, if you absolutely want to keep Delphi 7 use, try to install ZEOSLIB (aka &nbsp;ZEOSDBO) and use this data access component suite instead of DBExpress Second, try Delphi 11 community, with his Firedac components,

Same thing for me ! I tried your sample, giving me a 326 value for a GMT one Then I wrote this simple code procedure TForm1.FDQuery1MONCREATION_DATEGetText(Sender: TField; var Text: string; DisplayText: Boolean); begin text:=sender.asString; end; Giving me an "Incorrect argument for time encoding. " error with my french version

@Dmitry Arefiev My tests was with Delphi 12 first. Some links or clues ? Agree, even if I rarely use FDTable 😉

Testing D12, I made small tests. First using 2 versions of Firebird (3 and 4) I made a mistake not using a TFDPhysFBDriver, default connection was using fb3 this mistake stop IDE ! FDPhysFBDriver settled I now run in another error with my French edition working with SQL To search : using FormatOptions (of the FDConnection.FDQuery or FDTable) using mappings

Perhaps me 😊 if so, in my mind it was like this, source is Database A, dest is Database B Source selection is a TFDQuery so you can restrict to what you need, this to respond your "truncating data" you just have to adjust properties of FDBatchMove, depending on process you want (only appending, appending or updating see property mode) Note : keep in mind what you have to do with errors during the process. 3300 records is not so much. to be known, fdbatchmove have a contextual menu. The 3 first options are very useful and with the first one ( Execute) debugging is easy (without running program !) see https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Alexandria/en/FireDAC.Comp.BatchMove.TFDBatchMove and https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/CodeExamples/Alexandria/en/FireDAC.TFDBatchMove_Sample

To react to this, here is the structure I used

First declare fields Then set event on GetText for the field and code the event procedure TForm1.FDTable1Date_exitGetText(Sender: TField; var Text: string; DisplayText: Boolean); begin if Sender.IsNull then text:='n.d.' else Text:=FormatDateTime('mm-dd-yyyy',UnixToDateTime(Sender.Value)); end; on design date_exit should be an integer but at run time "magic" happens Now let speak about another method for Timestamp type (my date_create) You just have to set property displayformat to get the date_create formatted at runtime but also at design time (yellow)

Easy way changing imageindex, but need a ImageList or equivalent. Personally, most often, I use SVG directly or loaded in resource You can also change, add/change buttonstyle and applystylelookup
