I have inherited an app written in Pascal which I have never written before. I am barely competent with c sharp. I am using Embarcadero® Delphi 10.3
I have created my own program that gets data from a database and inserts data, but as far as the uber app goes I cannot figure out how text from edit boxes is being written to the database as soon as it is typed.
For example I created a button that populates a edit box (the person I work with is tired of everybody entering a certain string incorrectly). When the user types in text it is automatically saved to the database, but in order for the text that is populated by clicking on the button to be saved the user has to click an edit button on a TBDNavigator, then press the button to populate the box, then press the post button. I have included the code snippet below, I couldn't see any instructions on how to format code.
procedure TfDesignMaster.NoUPCButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
DBEdit85.Text := 'NO UPC ON ITEM';
end;
I know there must be a way to open edit and post but I can't find the datasource for it, there are so many associated with the project and I don't know the name of it.
Does anyone know of a way to find the datasource that will allow me to add the code to edit and post? This is the only button that does this in the entire app or I would copy the code, and the other edit boxes are not pointing me anywhere.
I am sure I am leaving out all sorts of information needed to answer this question, apologies and please let me know what information I can provide!
Thanks!
