    Delphi, QuickReport and PDFs

    Hi garwain, You can use PowerPDF which is a powerful suite for creating PDF Files. WPTools is good, too, but quite expensive from what I remember. Cheers, Andrew

    Numlock

    Hi Raven078, The problem is that Windows distingueshes( I dunno why ) turning the NumLock light on and actually pressing the NumLock key. When looking for the answer please bear this in mind. Cheers, Andrew

    EDBEngineError "Couldn't perform the edit because another user..."

    Hi tbarone, I bet you've handled OnBeforeEdit and/or OnAfterEdit, etc. If this is the case, please post the code. Cheers, Andrew

    Creating packages

    Hi new2delphi, If you own a PRO or superior edition of Delphi 5, you are entitled to use the Package Collection Editor, which would allow easy deployment of multiple packages. Check it out. Cheers, Andrew

    Hide window of other app?

    Hi KempCGDR, This time's your bad! ^_^ ShowWindow is different from PostMessage! Use ShowWindow with a 0 argument, after FindWindow. Cheers, Andrew

    Hide window of other app?

    Hi KempCGDR, Sorry, my bad. Look at the help about WM_SHOWWINDOW. HTH, Andrew

    BLOB has been modified!

    Hi EricDraven, I would say you should lock the table and refresh data after each change. Locking the table will stop others from accessing a record while it's being modified, so that it should put the word "end" to the error. Cheers, Andrew

    Making a menu appear programatically

    Hi NutsAndBolts, You probably missed reading the help file. Try having a look at the "visible" property there. Cheers, Andrew

    Hide window of other app?

    Hi KempCGDR, FindWindow to find the Window handle based on title and/or class name. Use then PostMessage like this: PostMessage( Handle,WM_Hide,0,0 ); Should work. Cheers, Andrew P.S. Remember to include the "Windows" unit, if it's not already present!

    Hide window of other app?

    Hi KempCGDR, Just Post it a WM_HIDE Message( PostMessage API ) or kill it( under Nt/2000/XP ). Cheers, Andrew

    Keystroke prevention

    Hi TheDelphiBeginner, You may want to drop an eye to WM_Char and WM_DIALOGCHAR Windows messages in the MS SDK Help file that ships with Delphi. In order to prevent your next question, you can handle messages in this way : Type TMyForm = class( TForm ) private procedure...

    Form order in Delphi

    Hi TheDelphiBeginner, You may want to have a look at the EnumWindows API. Cheers, Andrew

    WebCam programming

    Hi davidchardonnet, Did you have a look at Torry? You can find lots of components there that do just that! ^_^ Cheers, Andrew

    Multi-String in the Registry?

    Hi BobbaFet, According to your Delphi version, you may do this : MyStringList.Delimiter := '#'; Reg.WriteStr( MyStringList.DelimitedText ); In this way you save the string list using a string key that you can revert to a list using the same delimiter. Cheers, Andrew

    Getting the min and max value of a db field

    Hi again Karen99, Try looking at the DBI functions in the BDE unit. Cheers, Andrew

    Date fields incompatible on Paradox and Sql server

    Hi Karen99, You're welcome :-) Well, what you said made me have an idea. You are using persistent fields, right? Each TField descendant has an ASString property. Now, you can use AsString with an ANSI date to overcome the problem instead of using an ASDate value. Cheers, Andrew

    IntraWeb speed problem

    Hi abbath8, Another chance you have is to simply use an HTTP client component and retrieve the URL, without using a browser. With INDY, for example, you'd do something like this: Memo1.Lines.Text := IdHTTPCli1.Get( MyURL ); Memo1.Lines.SaveToFile( 'MyPage.html' ); That's all. Cheers, Andrew

    IntraWeb speed problem

    Hi abbath8, You can use a WebBrowser replacement, there're several over the net, thus you can create an NT Service which will "retrieve" the pages on the server and make them available on the site. The whole thing requires few minutes to code, really. The big deal is simply to debug...

    ShellExecute SW_commands

    Hi ppc386 and cartoonwally, BEWARE: DELPHI3-4 doesn't handle TWebBrowser correctly, thus creating some problems when using it, since some WebBrowser methods are not supported!!!! Please bear this in mind. Cheers, Andrew
