Hi, I need to insert strings into a TListBox with two characters that are a different color than the rest of the string. For instance, if my string is "abcdefg", I want to add it to the ListBox with the 'abc' and 'fg' as black and the 'de' as red. It doesn't necessarily have to be a TListBox...

2ffat, Thanks for the help. All I had to do was an Append() to the dataset. Here's the code for the drag and drop from a TDBListBox to the TDBGrid... void __fastcall TForm1::lstMenMouseDown(TObject *Sender, TMouseButton Button, TShiftState Shift, int X, int Y) { if (Button == mbLeft)...

Hi, I have a DBGrid (dbgMatch) that displays the values in a table with two fields: Name and MatchType. When I set the table to active, the grid fills with the data, as it should. I fill one listbox with the names and another listbox with the match types so I can use drag and drop directly...

Thanks, Totte. I checked the placement of the #pragma hdrstop. ..it was in the same relative location as your example, so I tried moving it to the top of the file. It worked like a charm. Now I am going to go to the help files and books to learn what the hdrstop pragma is! Thanks again...

Hi, My problem is I get the following message when I compile my code. Cannot create pre-compiled header; write failed The help file says that this occurs when the hard drive is full...I have 65GB available. I am using BCB6 on a WinXP machine. I have my settings to use pre-compiled headers...

Hi, I want to read the name of the typeface from a True Type file. Can anyone help me?

Hi, I am trying to write some graphics to an Enhanced Metafile (.emf) format file. I am using TMetafile and TMetafileCanvas to draw and save the graphics. Here is a snippet of my code that does this: void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender) { mfCanvas = new...

Here is the easiest way I have found to extract the extension from the filename (assuming a 3 character extension): newFileName = fileName.SubString(0, fileName.Length()-4);

I am new to component building and would like to create one that will draw a line at the bottom of the window then scroll up a few pixels and draw another line, etc. I think I can do this by deriving from a TScrollingWinControl, but I need a TCanvas control to draw on. Herein lies my problem...

I had to reinstall my Borland Builder 5.0. Now when I try to compile I get a dialog box asking for the path to the proide.bpi file. It is nowhere on my disk (proide.bpl is, though). Can someone tell me what this package is, where I can find it, and why it didn't install?

My LJ-4V is attached to my W2K Workstation and shared over the local network. Everything was working fine until yesterday when I tried to print from Pagemaker. When I print, the entire page is shifted a half inch to the right, clipping the text on the right side. I tried printing a document...

Hi, I have a PageControl that I am trying to send to a printer using the PaintTo() method. My problem is the page gets printed very small (about 1.5 x 1 inch). I now have considerably less hair trying to figure a way to scale the printed page to the size of the paper. Can anyone shed some...

Oh, thank you Hasit...my eyes are uncrossed again and the headache went away! I might never have found that fix...you are a genius!

Does anyone know how to change the font for the Office2K Help files? Mine are very small (almost 1 pixel characters) and really hard to read. I searched (almost) everywhere for an option to change the font, but to no avail. I'm going blind trying to read my help files (which I do a lot of lately).

Thanks GingerR, It worked for one of the subforms but not the other. I couldn't find any difference between the two subforms that might cause this problem. I figured a workaround, though...I added the REMARKS fields to the subforms and made them invisible, then equated the Main form REMARKS...
