While attempting to solve my previous problem (tab order for a form made in a rather unusual form, with components placed on in a strange order), I stumbled on the virtual key (VK_) information in the help field. A test run on a dummy project showed me how to get those working, but using the...

I've got a program I've been working on which I've been requested to 'neaten up' tabbing on. The program was built to hold multiple separate portions of what was once a paper form. The way I built it, to accomodate what I thought I needed, is giving me a few problems trying to determine how to...

Is there any way to do a compare of multiple items in a where clause without having to do a full 'where (foo = x or foo = y or foo = z)' style statement? I've got a three character char value that a report needs to separate by, but the overall grouping means that each possible report option has...

I've got a php program I've been trying to work on. I now have it working on our test box perfectly, but attempts to run it on the box it's supposed to be placed on are causing problems. I'm getting the error message "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_NEW in...

I know that Perl has some pattern matching abilities, but does it have something that is the equivalent to the php substr(string, startpoint, count) function? I'm working with a perl program, and it would be useful if I could not only check that files match a general pattern (program already...

I've been requested to write a php page that will allow the user to review data from a submitted form (data generated elsewhere), verify the data, then submit it. My boss has requested that if possible, I should also force the browser window to close after the submission. I was informed on the...

I've been requested to write a PHP page as a sort of 'form viewer' for a set of forms designed in Delphi. The page acts as a microform of its own - it displays the information drawn from the Delphi side (via a database), then a 'submit' button at the bottom of the form. Hitting submit causes...

I have been requested to add the 'hourglass' cursor to a project I worked on in the past. However, I am running into some strange problems getting this to work correctly. I have seen the code examples given in this forum, but they do not appear to work for me. I believe this is because of the...

I'm working on a project to create a Delphi equivalent to a number of paper forms, so that the people who are supposed to fill these forms out can do it on the system and then submit the results directly to the database (and their superiors, via email). I've been attempting to match the...

I'm working on a project where I could use the ability to put up and down arrows on a couple of the buttons on one of the forms. I noticed there's a bitmap attribute for the button component, and it shows the image during compile time, but the buttons are blank during runtime. (No caption -...

I've been requested to modify a program that reads from our database - the purpose of the modification is to permit the usage of wildcard searches. (Ex: find fog, foolish, and ford when searching on 'fo*') I know I need to use the '%' character for my searches. I know I need to use LIKE. But...

I'm having some trouble with a program my predecessor wrote. Attempts to click on one of the tabs in a tabsheet calls up an error message "Error loading MIDAS.DLL". Although the form does then come up, any attempt to do anything on that tabsheet generates an error. I have tried to trace...

I am working on a project designed to send files generated by one of our other programs (a php script/page) to certain email addresses. However, the email addresses which the message will be sent to are supposed to be determined, at least in part, by the contents of the previous file. (Ex: HR...

I'm working on a web form project (or, more precisely, web-based output for the results of a desktop-located form). As some of the form questions may have multiple answers, I figured I needed to break the (printed) page at certain locations, so all of the answers to a question are on the same...

I've been trying to work on a php sheet used to display the output from a database for our company. Everything seems to be going well so far, but I'm running into a rather bizarre problem regarding printing the page, and I'm hoping that someone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong...

I have a slight problem with the RenameFile procedure(function?) in Delphi, and I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I have a program I wrote that creates a .csv file for output; this file will be picked up by another program later. The .csv-generating program...

Is there a specific way to disable a form's ability to be maximized, either from the 'maximize' button or the windows (Maximize) listing in the popup bar for a minimized window? One form I'm working with has a lot of stuff in one section, but requires a few components (mostly panels, although...

I'm working with a form that has a large number of boolean values that need to be stored to the database. These values tend to come in sets - a single form entry might contain checkboxes for two to ten different options, all of which need to be recorded whether the form value is yes or no...

I apologize if the topic isn't quite clear enough. I'm working with a form where I'm trying to create multiple 'blocks' of form that appear on screen. (That is, there are multiple segments that can fill the same slot [via run-time "*.align := alClient"].) In trying to get enough room on the...

I'm trying to work out a set of forms for a delphi program. These are 'forms' both in the delphi sense, and the literal sense; they're intended to replace a set of paper forms currently in use by our clients. Given that three of the forms I'm immediately working with are nearly identical to...
