More improvements to the Uses Clause Manager

[PeterPanettone 157]

Now working on the r2837 source.

 

• In the Favorite tab, the irrelevant Favorite-list popup menu-items are now automatically hidden if the Favorite list is empty:

 

 

 

• StatusBar Hint:

 

 

• Changed StatusBar popup menu wording:

I changed the code to disable the irrelevant menu entries rather than hiding them.

Also, I implemented "Open File Location".

 

revision #2841 / 2842

 

There is one problem with the way the status bar code is currently implemented: It calls GxOtaTryFindPathToFile each time which is quite a costly function (try to move the entry with the arrow keys and you will notice a delay. I'm thinking about saving the whole file name instead of just the unit name while scanning for them, so they are available later.

 

Also, it might be more intuitive to copy or move the popup menu entries of the status bar to the already existing popup menus of the lists.

I too.

 

I used this code:

 

procedure TfmUsesManager.OpenLocationAndSelectAFileInExplorer(const AFilePath: string);
// AFilePath may contain spaces
begin
  Winapi.ShellAPI.ShellExecute(Forms.Application.Handle, 'open', 'explorer.exe',
    PWideChar('/select,"' + AFilePath + '"'), nil, Windows.SW_NORMAL);
end;

 

Which code did you use?

Good idea.

In case you want to do that, just COPY them. But will the popup menus of the lists not become too overloaded?

I was thinking about this when I implemented the functionality...

Basically the same, but I used the OpenExplorerAndSelectFile function in u_dzOsUtils which encapsulates this to:

  OpenExplorerAndSelectFile(sbUCM.SimpleText);

[PeterPanettone 157]

Working on revision [r2843].

 

Meanwhile, I have implemented Copy this FILE to the clipboard.

 

Here are the sources:

 

GX_UsesExpert.zip

 

[dummzeuch 1505]

Revision #2848

 

Note: I have put the new function into GX_GenericUtils because GX_dzOsUtils is supposed to contain only code from my u_dzOsUtils unit (which is part of dzlib).

Thanks for the information.

Per default, the map file is switched OFF in the project options:  

 

... while the option to use the map file is switched ON per default in the UCM configuration:

 

 

This is INCONSISTENT. Please set the map file per default ON (Segments) in the Project Options.

 

Thank you!

I would like to implement a FUZZY SEARCH option in Uses Clause Manager. This would be particularly useful in the Identifiers Filter Search.

 

Here are a few possibilities:

 

• Delphi SoundEx

 

• ApproxStrUtils: http://www.gausi.de/approxstrutils-en.html

 

I think that ApproxStrUtils would be more useful for this purpose. It contains these functions:

 

ApproxBestAppearance
ApproxContainsStr
ApproxContainsText
ApproxDistance
ApproxPos
ApproxPosEx
ApproxResemblesText
Check
max
min
min3
PreProcess_FilterCount
SearchBackwards

 

What do you people think?

ApproxStrUtils

I have made some tests: When for example entering "allow no dup" in the Identifiers Filter Search Field then it finds the known Identifier "SNoDuplicatesAllowed" (from the unit Xml.XMLConst.pas).

 

So, this also gives the functionality to use multiple words in the search field! If there are no objections I will implement this (as an OPTION!).

Here the weather on this Sunday is almost sunny (it seems almost like a TWILIGHT ZONE), good weather for coding...

I know I can do that. But you were the one who proposed to use this code so it's your responsibility to check the license.
