YAH_BUT! O.K. I agree THAT price is not "overwhelming". But I bought the Kylix version for $xxxx and then they reduced the price to $xxx and when I bitched they said o.k. we'll give you this and that, but essentially I lost $500/ Nonetheless, where did it start that you can't acess files with...

An explanation of "why you can't use it" and "my application" would be prudent here. Firstly, we have no clue what your application is/does Secondly, "I'm not able to use it" is ambiguous. Does that mean, 1) you implemented the code and it doesn't work 2) you can't figure out how to integrate...

I think what you're asking for is like the VB "set next instruction pointer" (or essentially that).... I've wished for this myself as the same thing happened to me.... "don't do 'this' while I'm debugging...." I tried every option available to see if there was a way to "skip" or "set" but to...

Ryan: Well the end point of a <TD.... is a </TD>, so right there you have a start and an end. Beyond that, <A href= is a start point and </A> is an endpoint out of which you can extract "BUDDY NAME GOES HERE" If there are multiple TD /TD pairs, search each one out, and then loop on the A /A...

You could put a procedure in like: procedure TForm1.Edit1KeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: Char); begin Edit2.SetFocus; Key := #$0; end; and pull the focus away from edit1 Regards and HTH, JGS

Found this code on the web and saved it... haven't tried it yet. This code basically starts/stops the webservice. Uses WinSvc; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var sc_h, sc_man : SC_HANDLE; begin sc_man := OpenSCManager(nil, nil, SERVICE_START); if sc_man = 0 then...

OLVTM: You could draw your circle continuously by using a timer and vary the interval to vary the speed at which it's drawn. At that point, onbuttonclicks could be used to change the color etc. Would advise a Timer1.Enabled := False; : button click event code Timer1.Enabled := True; in...

Gary: Does your code typed in like mine not compile??? Mine compiles... AND, The help said that TIdTCPClient is a derivative of TIdTCPConnection which has Binding in it. If you wouldn't mind.... just stick the code in there and tell me what happens, no compile, Address exception or??? If...

00thaphay: Forgot to mention you'll need WinSock in the uses list. JGS

00thaphay: I don't know if this will work, but it won't take long to try. Basically if ReadLn isn't timing-out, the only way I know to make it not "wait" is by setting the socket to non-blocking. This MAY do it... put this code in your timer event prior to the readln and give 'er a shot...

00thaphay: The help states: const ATimeout: integer = IdTimeoutInfinite Time-out in milliseconds. Default value IdTimeoutInfinite. (-2) : : Use a custom time-out (ATimeout) value to change the number of milliseconds to wait for a response from the peer connection before a time-out occurs...

delfy: Any chance that data contains x'00'? Chances are the SQL server is written in VC++ and even though Delphi can handle strings with x'00' embedded in them, C will stop short. Regards and HTH, JGS

00Thaphay: I don't see any inherent problem as the code is almost identical to the demo, however: What is the value of your timer in Milliseconds? If this timer is short (mine are always 250 MS give or take) then you should do the following: Procedure TForm.Timer1Timer(Sender:TObject); Var...

FamWS: add OpenDialog1.Options := [ofNoChangeDir]; either in code or set it in the options if it is on your form. Tested it both ways and was able to rename the directory immediately with the test app still running. 1. Var OpenDialog1 : TOpenDialog; : : Begin OpenDialog1 :=...

SilverSpecV: With all due respect for my learned colleagues, I have stuck with D6. The reasons are these: I do a lot of TCP/IP programming and it does it. I do a lot of direct serial port access and it does it. I haven't a CLUE what to do with .NET (eh, call me old fashioned) It's CHEAP...
