    "Could not save"

     

    Works in Berlin when I change output to an existing folder: 'd:\Notepad.dat'

     

    Plus this addition gives me the dialog below if I try to save into a dir which does not exist: 

     ShowMessage('Could not save: ' + LReg.LastErrorMsg);

    [Window Title]
    Project1

    [Content]
    Could not save: The system cannot find the path specified

    [OK]

    Also, it can be configured to allow up to 30 days

    Just read that on your site, sounds like a great option.

     

    As for hardware; Uwe supplied the link, a full Linux version is required (no router).
    I have that running but I'm thinking about hardware failure and in that case running a license server on the same machine(s) isn't optimal.

    I do have an Ubuntu Azure VM running and that may be the best way to do this..

    Convert your license to a network named user license

    I'm going to assume there are no Docker images nor light weight installs (for a Router) of this?

     

    This does seem to be an important change to consider, unless one believes in a flawless self updating registration system being right around the corner..

    I have a couple of instances where this is more useful without the LookupDataset, additions below: 

    interface

type
  TDictionaryLookupList = class(TLookupList)
  public
    /// <summary>
    ///   Binds a Dictionary Lookup List to a fkLookup Field
    /// </summary>
    class function Bind(const AField: TField): TLookupList;  
    /// <summary>
    ///   Binds a Dictionary Lookup List to a fkLookup Field without binding to a LookupDataSet
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="AKeyFields">
    ///   Keyfields used to identify the Entry, (Default=EmptyStr) will use the Existing KeyFields value.
    /// </param>
    class function BindSimpleList(const AField: TField; const AKeyFields: string = ''): TLookupList;
  end;


implementation

type
  TFieldHelper = class helper for TField
    /// <summary> Sets Private Field </summary>
    procedure SetLookupList(ALookupList : TLookupList);
  end;

procedure TFieldHelper.SetLookupList(ALookupList : TLookupList);
begin
  if Assigned(LookupList) then LookupList.Free;
  with self do FLookupList := ALookupList;
end;

class function TDictionaryLookupList.Bind(const AField: TField): TLookupList;
begin
  Assert(AField.FieldKind = fkLookup);
  AField.LookupCache := True;  
  Result  := TDictionaryLookupList.Create();
  AField.SetLookupList(Result);
end;

class function TDictionaryLookupList.BindSimpleList(const AField: TField; const AKeyFields: string = ''): TLookupList;
begin
  AField.LookupDataSet := nil;
  if (AKeyFields <> EmptyStr) then AField.KeyFields := AKeyFields;
  Result := Bind(AField);
end;

    I did and stopped due to: RSP-14723.

     

    However applying them via that dialog is inconvenient the better way is to use the 'Configuration Manager':

    One example is to redirect output or change configuration for an entire project group.
    I used this a lot for UniDAC's FastReport components to change output directories.
     

    Each time  new version was made available I would simply run the 'Configuration Manager' using an altered Option Set before compiling.

    came across this property for the first time

    • create an action aiOnIdle using the forms caption
    • link it to the form
    • name the update event OnIdle

    Then use that event as needed, beware the OnIdle event won't fire when a modal dialog is up.
    Unlike the TActionList.OnUpdate event this one will fire as long as the form is enabled.

    already got this working

    Feeling ignored?

     

    That code is literally from last century and had no incling about WIN64..

    Although I haven't really looked at it your changes is what I needed to change in my code. Which by the way is blocked by Delphi and is NOT a commercial solution.

    There has been little demand for hooks in my current project so there was no need to even look at it other than as  an exercise.

     

    Another reason not to get involved here is that I and you can find the solution with very little effort, but system wide hooks in Windows 1984.. err.. 10 are not so reliable.
    The one place we use a hook that absolutely needs to work madCodeHook is used in a signed Driver (special certificate).

    "Paying the piper" comes to mind.  

    OK, but there is that 'other' stuff, you know 'GetIt' the flagship library management system down for nearly a month now.. well I don't want rub salt in it but at some point some bean counter will ask why the shop using C++Builder can't build an Android app...

    what statement the breakpoint is actually on 

    Project1.dpr.25: var Eins := NewBytes;  // Put a Breakpoint
0041E5AD 33C0             xor eax,eax
0041E5AF A3DC684200       mov [$004268dc],eax
0041E5B4 33C0             xor eax,eax
0041E5B6 55               push ebp
0041E5B7 68BEE64100       push $0041e6be
0041E5BC 64FF30           push dword ptr fs:[eax]
0041E5BF 648920           mov fs:[eax],esp

    Today was my first attempt to actually use these, but that ended once I placed a Breakpoint on one.

     

    Perhaps not news to others..

      

    program Project1;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
{$R *.res}

uses
  System.SysUtils;

{$INLINE OFF}

function NewBytes:TBytes;
begin
  SetLength(Result, 10);
end;

begin
  try
    /// <summary>
    ///   F9 from the Breakpoint will repeat 3 times, once for each Inline Variable
    ///   Uncomment the others to prove my point
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    ///   You can also try F7 or F8
    /// </remarks>
    var Eins := NewBytes;  // << Breakpoint
    var Zwei := NewBytes;
    var Drei := NewBytes;

//    var NochEins := NewBytes;
//    var NochZwei := NewBytes;
//    var NochDrei := NewBytes;

    writeln('Something Happened!');
  except
    on E: Exception do
      Writeln(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message);
  end;
end.
