    Password field

    LemonJuice, OK, I think I see it. The problem you're having stems from the z-order of the fldPassword and fldAskterisk objects. Since flsAsterisk is a calculated field, it doesn't allow as much editing as a standard unbound field object. Try this: 1. Open Password.fsl in a design window...

    TMediaPlayer

    rtb1, I've not used TMediaPlayer to load a file from the net, so I don't have any direct experience with any problems. However, you might see if the problem lies in obtaining the file or in playing it. To do that, try separating the process into two tasks, e.g. download the file into %TEMP%...

    String lenghts

    Richard, Perrin's right, ObjectPAL strings aren't sets of characters, as they are in some other languages, such as C++, etc. You can always validate the length of a string using size(), substr(), and so on. If you're trying to limit data entry to two characters, try defining a Picture either...

    Password field

    LemonJuice, I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful, but I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to enter field values. About the *only* thing I can think of is that you may have upgraded Paradox in the intervening time. If that's happened, have you resaved (or redelivered) your documents...

    Does Pardox 7 support access via ADO or ODBC

    SBendBuckeye, You might be asking a couple of different questions: 1) Can Paradox work with ODBC data sources? Yes, through the ODBC support layer of the Borland Database Engine (BDE). Details can be located at http://community.borland.com. 2) Is there a good ODBC driver for Paradox...

    TMediaPlayer

    Raoul, Have you tried setting the TMediaPlayer's Wait property to FALSE? For more information, see the Help Topic for that property; there are some design considerations to take into account. Hope this helps... -- Lance

    CUMALATIVE FUNCTION

    delphi paradox running slow on novell

    roni0401, It certainly sounds like you've checked the environmental factors. One wonders, though, if you've checked the application's basic design. After all, it's possible to design an application that runs beautifully when run standalone, but bogs down when copied to a network. One big...

    Code to create filename including date/time

    compuserf, How about something like JobsDone_Date_Time, where _Date might be something like 20040510 (e.g. today's date as an Integer) and _time might be something along the lines of 152320 (HHMMSS)? If that works for you, then consider the following code sample that generates a string with...

    Expanding an object on app maximize

    Tony, Whoops, sorry for not telling you about setting the Panel's Align property. Mea culpa, -- Lance

    Expanding an object on app maximize

    reisende, Typically, you let Delphi handle this by setting an object's Anchor properties. Unfortunately, TWebBrowser doesn't implement Anchor properties. To work around this: 1. Place your TWebBrowser component inside a TPanel 2. Set the TWebBrowser's Align property to alClient. 3. Set...

    Error-message : Invalid file access

    safirlaila, Have you resaved the form in Paradox 9? Also, have you verified the form's stylesheet? (see http://techtricks.com/paradox/styleprobs.php for details). Typically, this is a problem with the stylesheet saved with the form in earlier versions. It's important to check--even if you...

    Change record-color of a tableframe in Paradox 8

    Ed, Not really, though you can use calculated fields to achieve some limited effects. Paradox reports have never really had much support for coloring, primarily because affortable color printers were relatively rare when Paradox was originally written. You can, though, integrate your...

    Never before seen error..

    Richard, Hm. I don't see why this would be happening. I suspect that while this code may be surfacing the error, it's actually being caused by something else. What's the context this code runs in? Is is a pushButton, a library method, or what? What triggers it? Personally, I don't like...

    paradox copy

    filipe26, Are there other files besides the .DB, e.g. .X?? or .Y?? files? If so, you'll want to delete those, too, along with any .VAL, .SET, or .FAM files. Do not delete the .MB file, though; otherwise, you lose the memo and BLOB data. Hope this helps... -- Lance

    sysInfo question

    vecjjk, Hm. I'm not absolutely sure why this is happening, but I suspect the underlying problem lies in the way C++ handles strings. As you may know, C++ strings types are (essentially) streams of characters terminated with a null character (\0). When you read that string variable, you get...

    Delphi Coding Standards

    PsiMatrix, While the one you found is likely a good place to start, there are many similar documents online, including (but certainly not limited to), http://community.borland.com/soapbox/techvoyage/article/1,1795,10280,00.html (which was developed from the conventions used by Borland's Delphi...

    exporting to a text file without separator

    cobweb, It appears that you cannot use exportASCIIVar() to specify a blank separator. I tried a few variants and it seems that the original developer added code to the underlying routine that detects that condition and, if detected, default to using a comma. IIRC, the UI calls this, so it...
