    Delphi-like directory and file form windows in C#

    Hello, All I'm trying to create a C# form in VS2017-7 to conduct Fourier transforms on data files in several different directories and folders. In my Delphi progs I had windows on my form displaying directories and another of the files in those directories allowing me to move from directory...

    I have all Delphi versions, which should I use?

    Many thanks to melmitts and Topcat01 for the responses. I'll definitely get on the Lazarus site. Since you both have XE4, did you get a single-license (if there is one) or multiple user versions? Also, did you have to pony up $500 or more or did you opt for the Starter version? I saw where...

    I have all Delphi versions, which should I use?

    As so many others have had to, I find that D7 is approaching the end of it's lifecycle. I'd like to stay with the Delphi/Pascal based language as it's what I'm most familiar with. I looked over C++ but after so many years away I really dread the learning curve required. I looked over the...

    Converting BASIC to Delphi 7 Problem

    Prattaratt, Thanks for taking the time. I don't think I'd have come up with that one and it looks like it will work. I learned long ago to always get other eyes to look things over and it's always worked. Thanks again, Bill Kilgore

    Converting BASIC to Delphi 7 Problem

    Hello All, I've been engaged in translating some Basic applications into Delphi 7. I got to a triple-nested set of For loops in Basic and the innermost loop had a 'STEP' specification. It took me awhile to recall what that was and, as I recall, one can specify that a loop going through an...

    Windows 7 and Delphi 7 Problems

    Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions. If I were to transfer to C++ I'd have to re-write what I use now. I may have to modify what I have now on D7 to fit an XE2 compiler but I can see how that would be an easier approach. I'll have to see what will transpire with the Embarcadro price...

    Windows 7 and Delphi 7 Problems

    I've used Delphi 7 (D7) since 2003 with several machines. Recent failure of my Vista machine led to my replacing it with a Windows 7 machine. Though I was able to nurse the D7 along on the Vista machine it is now becoming more trouble and, after reading several programmers’ illustrations of...

    Tripping Over Simplicity with Delphi 7

    Many thanks! I never thought that this problem superceded the Delphi environment. I recently downloaded some updates for my Op Sys and probably screwed ut up then. This also answers some other problems I'ce been having. The reason used arrays is because one of the files is ~200 lines and the...

    Tripping Over Simplicity with Delphi 7

    Hello All, I put together a little routine that takes two similar .txt files, loads their data into two separate arrays, compares the two arrays, updates one array based on the data from the comparison, and writes out the updated array to one of the .txt files. This is a stand-alone project...

    Fast Fourier Transform FFT

    Thank you to Tayloredwarez and Whosrdaddy for your timely replies. The sites above lead me to another one that looks very promising, SDL in which the 'L' stands for a gentleman named Lohninger who offer some great math, chem, and geographical stuff in Delphi with source. Some SDL stuff is...

    Fast Fourier Transform FFT

    Hello Everyone, I want to write a function in Delphi 7 that would conduct an FFT on a large amount of sound data. The data is converted from a WAV file to a rationalized, 0 to 1.0 values, TXT file by GoldWave, a commercial sound analysis package. I've been all over the Web trying to come up...

    Automatic Delphi Response to an EXCEL OnScreen Request

    DjangMan, you're beautiful. The problem is solved. I went to the Microsoft link you included and it does, indeed, work for Office 2000. It was a simple check mark. Thank you very much. Bill K.

    Automatic Delphi Response to an EXCEL OnScreen Request

    I probably should have mentioned that the Excel edition in question is part of my Office 2000 suite. I know it's a little long in the tooth but it still serves us well. I should also indicate that we're using the simple data link between worksheets. The snag here is when the standalone sheet...

    Automatic Delphi Response to an EXCEL OnScreen Request

    Hi Everyone, I've got an application that upgrades several Excel worksheets in separate files. Each file is a standalone. Each utilizes some basic values that must be present in each of the standalone file. Each of these values requires manual updating by the user. I would like have each of...

    advice on performing ArcTan2 (atan2) function please

    Steve, It looks like you've already got a conversion but I'll add what works for me as an alternative. Some years ago, long before GPS, I programmed a calculator with the following formula. During the winter I transferred it to Delphi 7 as an exercise. My results are displayed in Statute...

    Access Internet Data with Delphi 7

    Hello Everyone, Please excuse the somewhat belated response. Here’s why. We landed in Honolulu on Apr. 3rd after coming east over night to find that the airline providing my connection to the mainland, ATA, had gone out of business! But,since I was in Hawaii I decided to recover from the...

    Access Internet Data with Delphi 7

    Well I've spent 2 days going through sites (Powtils,SourceForge, etc.) trying to find an example of how to format a request for data from a Yahoo page with no luck. I'm still stuck as to which component to use and how the request inside the loop should look. I did a search of the Tek Tips...

    Access Internet Data with Delphi 7

    Hello Everyone, I've gotten a request from a person to generate some software that would be used to retrieve historical stock closing prices for several different stocks to be taken from Yahoo's financial section. She's looking for a weeks worth of data at a time for each stock so she can...

    Going Down Memory Road

    I've still got my TP3 manuals along with copies of most of the source I wrote in it since back in the '80's. Then there's Cobol, Fortran, and PL1 source from the '70's. I like to look through it now and again and recall how tight we wrote back when storage was dear. Bill K.
