    Asked to spoof pictures

    We have some tools that we get made for our customer and they pay us. We use these tools to make the final product that we sell to the customer. Recently there were some changes that were made rather quickly (for the process of making these parts). As a consequence, some of the tools were not...

    Thread doesn't like my data (ObjectList Or XML)

    Okay, so my program has a function being added that is going to be a slightly heavy procedure. However, I did not want to hold up the users with it since it will only need to run once and can go on in the background. So I decided I would push it into its own little thread. This has been one of...

    The Lexicographer's Dilemma

    I submit a book review for your .. review. Original Review here But I actually first read an interpretation on the idea of Grammer Nazi's here. So, do you generally correct people's grammar? Is it more of just a friendly suggestion or does it upset you when mistakes are made? ~ “Your request...

    Change array data in one of two forms from form 3

    Hey guys, I need a little bit of help here. I have two sets of programs where some of the data they use on parts overlaps. However, each set of programs differs slightly for what they need, and greatly on all levels below this top level. For that reason I made a form for each set of programs...

    Detecting SendInput

    I am making a little game application on the side. I intend for my program to use DirectInput. I was wondering if there was any way to detect the difference between the input coming from the keyboard itself or if somebody is trying to fake input using the SendInput function. Might anybody know...

    All But

    Well, just about all of you who frequent this forum seem quite well versed in knowledge of the English language (at least more so than myself). I have a question for you guys. Something I have never understood, is the phrase "all but". Ex. They had been fighting for so long, getting them to...

    The weekend that just ended

    Well, another poster had a topic similar to this. It prompted me to actually post my question. When referring to a weekend that just ended, is it: This past weekend ... or This passed weekend ... I have a strong feeling it is past. But they sound similar enough that I realize I honestly do...

    Form Controlling Others throwing Access Violation on repetitive use

    Okay, so the section I am working on is part of a MDI. The user can run a query to search for a part and it displays some quick information into a string grid. I have it set up so that the user can double click on a row in that grid, and it is supposed to basically take them through the process...

    TListBox ScrollWidth setting

    Okay, so I have a tiny function that is meant to set the ScrollWidth of a TListBox. However, it does not seem to work when any string in it is long. j := 0; // Set scroll width for terms for i := 0 to (ListBox1.Items.Count - 1) do if ((ListBox1.Canvas.TextWidth(ListBox1.Items[i]) + 15) >...

    MDI Issue

    Okay guys, once again I am stumped. I am trying to switch of the part of my program past the login screen to MDI. I am doing this so that they may have the query window open to see masses of data at the same time they can go in and edit a few values and know which path to take to get there...

    Enabling manual Copy and Paste for custom TEdit

    Okay, once again I find myself at the end of my rope after searching for a day and finding everything except the final piece of information I need. I got a component called TNumEdit that (go figure) accepts only numbers and is descended from TEdit. TNumEdit It also has options for enabling or...

    Access Allow Zero Length from Delphi

    Okay, so as the title suggests, I am making a table in access from Delphi. My problem is that I need to set the AllowZeroLength property to true from Delphi, since it is by default set to 'No'. Is there any way to do this from Delphi rather than having to open up the database or something? I...

    TMainMenu Font Size

    Odd Program Editor Problem

    I am using the Borland Developer Studio 2006. In Delphi here, I am getting this odd code bug where all of the forms are telling me that 'Controls' in the Interface Uses section does not exist. Consequently, all procedures or properties that use this are showing up as not existing, and being...

    Extracting Text

    Ok guys, I have looked far and wide for something to do something like this, but with no luck. I need to be able to extract certain texts out of PDFs.

    Auto-Resize Column Width in Grid

    Okay, is there any way to get the Column Width for all of the columns in a String Grid to automatically resize to the maximum needed lengths based on what is in the fields? Kind of like the effect you get in MS Excel or Access when you double click on the line between columns, it auto resizes...
