Oh Man!
There was a lot I discovered with this project that won't work in Codegear 2007. It is nearly complete now. First off, the Borland Database Engine is horrible. Switching to ADO was the best bet. I also ran into truble with Report Printer Pro, now Rave reports because they had...
Hello,
Does anyone know how to force a model view refresh? Someone told me that in visual studio you can delete a few files and that will force the app to refresh. Is there anything similar in builder? For normal projects, I get a nice refresh button. However, since this was an upgrade...
Thank you for getting back to me. That does seem to help some but it still doesn't work. If I just try to type in "cat" and do modify, the evaluate/modify window will show "cat". However, in the local variables window, it will show the string containing {""}.
If I click on evaluate, the...
OK,
I have C++ builder 2007 and the evaluate modify is driving me insane! I know I can do cntrl F7 on any integer value, click evaluate, type in the new value and do modify and everything is perfect.
For some reason, I cannot do the same thing for a string. For example if I have a...
hello,
I am migrating from BDE to ADO. I have the following BDE Code
try
{
Session->GetTableNames(database->DatabaseName, "", false, false, TableList);
if (TableList->IndexOf(TableName) >= 0)
{
retVal = true;
}
}
catch(EDBEngineError &e)
{
}
delete TableList;
return retVal...
Hi,
I don't think I phrased the question quite right...because I posted the wrong information. The MDI function OnShow is called which is aliased as the event FormShow in my program. For an MDI program, when is OnShow called? Also, I don't even see anywhere in the program where they use...
Hello,
OK, so I am upgrading from a program that was built on C++ builder 4 and I am using builder 2007. I am curious that I may have something wrong with the settings in my IDE because this program is behaving differently than the original.
Essentially, I am working with an MDI...
Hi,
I have confirmed that ->Height and ->Width are indeed the sizes of the windows. My problem is coming from a different location which I will make a new post for.
K,
Let me dig into it and see what I come up with. So far, the debugger is doing strange things unless I'm not using it properly (which is a possibility :) ).
Hi,
This should be a very basic question. On a groupbox on the form, for example
TGroupBox *GroupBox1;
if I do
someVar = GroupBox1->Height;
I should get the value of the height of the goupbox as drawn on the form, correct? This is confusing me because I'm upgrading a project that uses...
Hello,
I've been working on a package from an old legacy project. To my understanding, the package creates a red colored button...maybe more.
I had to change the package to get it to build. Once that was done, I installed the package by using Component->Install Packages and added the...
Hi,
Thanks for the help. Actually, what was causing the error was that I was using an old project that used driver MSACCESS. This became outdated post access 97.
The BDE is very cumbersome now when I think that it should not be. It appears to currently require you to setup a...
Hi,
Sure, I'll also provide a little more background info. Basically, this was an old access 97 database. I now have access 2003 on my machine. I left the database alone and get this error. If I upgrade the database, I still get the same error. The database is not very large at all...
Hello,
My project is using the BDE (borland database engine) and when I get to the point where the database object is set
Database->Connected = true;
an exception is thrown by the debugger that states 'General SQL error. Out of Memory.'
does anyone know what this means? The alias...
No, I've searched for them all and I do not have this set. I do have other pas files however. This is an old legacy project and I don't know if it would be referencing these somehow. How would I check?
Hello,
I'm trying to debug an old project. When I add a break point the program will execute up to that breakpoint fine. At that point if I do trace, step over, or step into I get prompted for several *.pas files. Google leads me to believe *.pas is a pascal/delphi extension. Why would...
This I all understand. Here is my question.
How do I change and where do I change what package it is looking for. Under project, options, packages it doesn't list this, only the correct vcl and vclx libraries! Is there somewhere else that this is supposed to change? I am using several...
