3rd party library not showing in a Form.
Ian Branch replied to Ian Branch's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Noted. Again, I have never knowingly touched this. -
3rd party library not showing in a Form.
Ian Branch replied to Ian Branch's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
OK. {%CLASSGROUP 'System.Classes.TPersistent'} Didn't look right, so I changed it to; {%CLASSGROUP 'Vcl.Controls.TControl'} And it is happ now. I have no idea how/when it was et to System.Classes.TPersistent. 😞 Thanks for the prompt/pointer. Regards, Ian -
3rd party library not showing in a Form.
Ian Branch replied to Ian Branch's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
This is the code for the Datamodule: unit dmImages; interface uses System.SysUtils, System.Classes, Vcl.BaseImageCollection, SVGIconImageCollection, GITLAKLib; type TdmI = class(TDataModule) SVGIC: TSVGIconImageCollection; end; var dmI: TdmI; implementation {%CLASSGROUP 'System.Classes.TPersistent'} {$R *.dfm} end. It is working fine as is att using SVGIconsImageList from GitHub. Ian -
Hi Team, I have downloaded and installed SVGIconsImageList from GitHub. No issues there. The components are appearing in most of my Apps projects under the Design tab components except for one form in a project. A Datamodule. It is fine if/when I install SVGIconImageList via GetIt. What could be causing them to be missing from just the one form on the one project? It is complaining that Class TSVGIconImageCollection is not found. Regards & TIA, Ian
-
Hi Remy, Agreed, but, it didn't appear there, or I would have. Regards, Ian

Tks Anders, It wasn't under 'Known IDE Packages', it was under 'Known Packages'. All good now Tks. Regards, Ian

Hi Team, D12.1 A 3rd Party IDE plug in on GitHub pricked my interest. I downloaded, built and installed it. As it turns out, it isn't of any use to me. I can't find any mechanism to remove it. I could delete the .bpl. but will probably end up with error messages when i start the IDE. I found an entry in the Registry but: a. I am unsure if it is the right/only one to delete. b. I am leary of doing so on spec as I have been bitten a couple of times previously playing in the registry. What is the best/safest method to remove it please? Regards & TIA, Ian

Display a conditional message on data change...
Ian Branch replied to Ian Branch's topic in General Help
Tks. I added the functionality to the InChange of a Read-Only DBEdit on the Form and it works perfectly. Ian -
Hi Team, I want to display a conditional message on data change. The condition tests a couple of fields in the record and if the test is True then a message is displayed. I currently have relevant code in the Table DataChange event. Unfortunately, the message is displayed on every occurrance when a record is selected past other records that the condition is true. 😞 How can I get this to work/show only when the the data changing has stopped and the selected record is visible to the User?

What version of Delphi has the least amount of bugs throughout history?
Ian Branch replied to Al T's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Whilst I have always kept up to date withthe Delphi versions, I have a soft spot for D2007. -
Hi Team, Using D12.1. I noticed that Parnassus Bookmarks had been updated in Getit. From 1.6.4.1 to 1.6.5.2. In Getit, I uninstalled my Bookmarks 1.6.4.1 and installed the newer 1.6.5.2. All went well. I then noticed I had two installs of Parnassus CoreEditor, 1.6.4.1 & 1.6.5.2. This surprised me as CorEditor was originally installed by Bookmarks 1.6.4.1, so I thought uninstalling Bookmarks 1.6.4.1 would have deinstalled CorEditor, unless there were other Parnassus items installed. i.e. Parallel Debugger if it needed it. There wasn't. Anyway, I proceded to uninstall CoreEditor 1.6.4.1. Big Mistake. Seems Delphi stilll had its hooks in it. 😞 The consequence of this was when Delphi tried to reload it Froze telling me about the inability to find the coreeditor dll. Only resolved by the Task Manager. I ultimately resolved it by removing the Bookmarks & CoreEditor from the Catalog Repository, opening Delphi and reinstalling the new Bookmarks, which of course gave me the new Core Editor as well. HTH anybody in the future. Of course this may be my unique configuration/PC issue. Anybody else been caught out by this? P.S. Something that would be helpful, would be some indication of what has changed between the two versions.... Regards, Ian

Oh My! Found it. I really do need to get my eyes rechecked. It wasn't DBWIni.ini, it was DBiWIni.ini. All good now. Thank you for your inputs and apologies for any inconvenience. Ian

This is the relevant section. I can't show the rest of the ini content as there is confidential information in it. In another App, albeit in the mainform, I access the data like this: procedure TMainForm.LoadIPMemoFromIni; var DelimitedString: string; LineList: TStringList; begin LineList := TStringList.Create; try DelimitedString := DBWIni.ReadString('DBiDashboard', 'IPAddresses', ''); if DelimitedString <> '' then begin LineList.CommaText := DelimitedString; IPMemo.Lines.Assign(LineList); end; finally LineList.Free; end; end; And it works fine. Here, DBWIni is a TIni component.

Hi Team, I have this code in the project file: // Create or open the DBW.ini file oDBWIni := TIniFile.Create('E:\DBiWorkflow\DBW.ini'); try // Read the delimited IP addresses from the 'DBiDashboard' section with 'IPAddresses' identifier sAllowedIPs := oDBWIni.ReadString('DBiDashboard', 'IPAddresses', ''); finally // Free the DBWIni object to release resources oDBWIni.Free; // end; // ShowMessage(sAllowedIPs); // oDBWIni is declared as a TIniFile in the Var. System.IniFiles is in the uses clause. The file is there, the section is there, the identifier is there and there are valid IPs there. But, sAllowedIPs shows nothing. 😞 What have I missed please? Regards & TIA, Ian

Hi All, Thank you for your suggestions. Appreciated. I have drawio and it isOK for what it is. I also have Unit Dependancy Viewer, it too is good at what it does, but what it produces isn't something to feed a Customer/User. Being lazy, I was looking for something that will open the Unit and generate a flowchart.
