Hi, How many bytes of storage does a real data type require? I'm trying to predict the filesize of a rather large file. Also, is an integer data type sufficient for storing values which will range from 747 to 1646 inclusive. If not, would it store values between -255 and 644? Thanks very...

Sorry - I wasn't actually calling the procedure anywhere - the code does work! Silly me. Sorry.

Hi, I'm playing around with creating images dynamically in Delphi 4. This code works when placed in the FormCreate procedure but not when placed in its own procedure. Why not? The form is called frm1. for i:=1 to 10 do begin imgBT[i]:=TimgBT.Create(frm1); with...

Hi, I want to use a joystick in one of my programs in Delphi 4. I've never even used a joystick before. This joystick seems to have all the controls to suit my purposes and I very much like the look of it...

Hi, I'm using a mask edit but don't seem to be able to use the StrToInt() function as I can with the contents of a normal edit box. How can I convert the contents of a mask edit box to an integer? Many thanks, Froskoy.

Yes, that is pretty cool. Thanks for posting that idea.

I am glad. What is it?

Thanks very much whosrdaddy. That's really helpful and makes that sort of thing make more sense to me now so will be helpful in future as well. Thanks also Glenn9999, that does look neat and something that I hadn't thought of off the top of my head.

It compiles fine.... it's a logical error I'm worried about. Will it ultimately give the same result?

Is saying if (Intensity=24) or (Intensity=25) then TempGetColour:=RGB(168,168,168); exactly the same as if (Intensity=24 or 25) then TempGetColour:=RGB(160,160,160); ? Thanks very much, Froskoy.

Yes! That helps immensely. Thank you very much for that. I like the structure and posts on this forum. I think I'll be coming back for more!

Hi, I have a series of rectangles on a form as follows: rec0801 rec0802 rec0804 rec0805 ....... rec0824 . . . . rec0201 rec0202 rec0203 rec0204 ....... rec0224 rec0101 rec0102 rec0103 rec0104 ....... rec0124 A bit like pixels. I need to manipulate these rectangles every time a timer...
