Try: There is a global Tprinter object called Printer. Printer.PrinterIndex := Printer.Printers.IndexOf('PrinterName'); If you wanted to be clever, you could put all of the printers in the Printer.Printers string list into a list box. and then do something like: ListBox.Items :=...

Turbopower has a component called onGuard that does this and much more. You can see the number of users, You can create trial and demo programs limited by time, number of uses, number of network users, etc. I think it's about $200. I don't know how they do the code for this though.

Since StringList is derived from TStrings you will be able to do the following: //declare a string list in your class SL : TStringList; procedure myForm.Create(Sender : TObject); begin SL := TStringList.Create; SL.Add('String1'); SL.Add('String2'); SL.Add('String3'); //now sub your...

if you're willing to pay for quality then turbopower's xml libraries are good. www.turbopower.com -Jonathan

Thanks, Ryan.

This may be easy but I've poured through the dbGrids.pas and grids.pas files to no avail. Anyone know how to read the buffered text in the TDBGrid for the current column? I tried to access through the SelectedField.AsString property but that just shows the old field data, not the current text...

The best! It's also portable to unix via kylix. I don't think you can create .dll with vb.

I've heard (I'm not completely sure) that to take advantage of multi-processor machines, one must write his/her program utilizing threads for processor intensive operations. The thread scheduler will assign a processor for running that thread. If you do not use threads in other words, multi...

First, I would say that TList is appropriate for holding objects, not an array, but that's my own opinion. The other thing I like to do is use class funtions (static). Here's an example. type TMyForm = class(TForm) ... class Function Execute(AOwner : TComponent) : tModalResult; end...

I've used this in the past... Printer.PrinterIndex := Printer.Printers.IndexOf('PrinterName'); Hope it helps. -Jonathan

Thanks for the advice guys.

I have a requirement to add a TField in memory to an in-memory TQuery. This TQuery component is not on a data module. The code follows: Note AField is defined as TField; qCorrect:= TQuery.Create(nil); with qCorrect do begin Name := 'qCorrect'; AutoCalcFields := False; DataBaseName :=...
