😞 It works for me on all other units except for this one. 😞 OK. Thanks for your time. It is only a small one so no biggie to keep it formatted manually. Thansk to all for your input & support. Regards, Ian
-
Agreed, but it still has its quirks. 😉
-
Tks.

How would one identify a 'strabge character' out of the multitude?

I am using D11.3, GExperts 1.3.23.4026.

OK. I give up. What is it in the attached that the Formatter doesn't like?? GITLAKLib.pas
-
OK. My apologies. It does. Just not on my Function library unit. 😞 Investigating. Apologies again. Ian
-
I feel a Bug report coming on.... 😉

Hi Team, I have a TButton that does one thing, I want to capture a Ctrl-Click on that button so I can have it do some preprocessing before continuing. How can I do that please? Regards & TIA, Ian

To all, Over the years I have used this Forum a lot. It has allways been a source of information. Some great, enilightening, educating, some not so much. ;-) What has never failed, is to get an answer/help/advice when needed. I am a strong believer in the saying.. "There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers." So, to all of you who have helped and responded to User's questions, issues, etc. And in particular to those that have responed to my inane, sometimes ignorant, questions/issues. A very large THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! All very much appreciated. Regards, Ian P.S. I'm sure I have many more questions/issues to come. :-)

All DB components on a form lose their connection to their datasource..
Ian Branch posted a topic in General Help
Hi Team, Win 11, D11.3.1. I experienced this a while ago, pretty sure I asked the question here, but I don't recall ifthere was a resolution. Twice in the past week two different Apps have had their DB components lose their connection to their datasource. As in the Datasource entry in the components is empty. All of them. I have had to reconnect all the components to their datasource. Oh the pain!! It isn't just one datasource either. There are a couple of datasources involved that get lost. Has anybody else experienced this? Does anybody have any suggestions as to what might be causing it? Regards & TIA, Ian -
Hi Team, I want to turn it off full time. I can't find any way/where to do that. Can I? Regards & TIA, Ian

Hi Team, Do we know which version of Indy is supplied with D11.3? I need at least Indy 10.5.7 for an App. Regards & TIA, Ian
-
I am almost eady to put it on a par with D2007. 🙂 IMHO the best ever. Not perfect, but still the best.

Hi Team, I have a function definition of .. function ValidEmail(const EmailAddress: string; out ErrorMessage: string): Boolean; const EMAIL_REGEX = '^((?>[a-zA-Z\d!#$%&''*+\-/=?^_`{|}~]+\x20*|"((?=[\x01-\x7f])' + '[^"\\]|\\[\x01-\x7f])*"\x20*)*(?<angle><))?((?!\.)' + '(?>\.?[a-zA-Z\d!#$%&''*+\-/=?^_`{|}~]+)+|"((?=[\x01-\x7f])' + '[^"\\]|\\[\x01-\x7f])*")@(((?!-)[a-zA-Z\d\-]+(?<!-)\.)+[a-zA-Z]' + '{2,}|\[(((?(?<!\[)\.)(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[01]?\d?\d))' + '{4}|[a-zA-Z\d\-]*[a-zA-Z\d]:((?=[\x01-\x7f])[^\\\[\]]|\\' + '[\x01-\x7f])+)\])(?(angle)>)$'; var .... .... The requirement is two fold. 1. ErrorMessage is optional in the calling program. i.e. it may be just - if validemail('myemail@somewhere.com') then .... 2. Assign an error message to ErrorMessage if the construction of the email address is incorrect. if (not Result) and Assigned(ErrorMessage) then ErrorMessage := 'The following email addresses are invalid: ' + String.Join('; ', InvalidEmails.ToArray); My problem is that I get an 'Incompatible types' error message for the 'then' in the above. I don't understand why. If I have read the help correctly, Assigned(Errormessage) should return a true or false, depending if Errormessage has been 'called'.?? Can somebody enlighten me please? What do I need to do to meet my needs? Regards & TIA, Ian

Hi Remy, Great minds think alike. There is my mind.... I was laying in bed at 2am mulling the issue, as you do, when it occurred to me that that was what I needed to do. Regards & Tks, Ian
-
Mmmm. Makes "If not ValidEmail('khggh.jghfjgh.vbn') then ..." more complicated and I would still have to revist every call. Thanks for your thoughts. I guess I will have to vistit every call. Regards & Tks again, Ian
-
Nope.
-
But it still requires the parameter in the calling function.
-
How does one make a parameter such as this optional?
-
Hi p2k, OK on the errormessage/object aspect. Quite so. I use the basic routine in multiple locations/projects and it doesn't have the error message functionality. I was looking to do a Global replace of old for new. Then update the many calling instances at my leisure.

It could at least warn you and ask you if it should remove the links....
