I hope this is not the wrong group. Our problem is compatibilty with Paradox application and a delphi app using BDE.

Hi there,, , Does anyone know how to clear the text dispplayed in a combo box? Mine just holds the last value and doesn't overwrite it when I tab back to it ideally I want it cleared and ready for the next entry. , , I've tried setting .Text := ''; but it doesn't work even if I set it to '1'; it doesn't display a 1 only the previous value. The whole text line seems to be higlighted rather than just the text. Any ideas?, , Thanks, Mully

Hello and happy new year to all.
I am currently in the process of writing a Point-of-Sale, POS, system. I have seen many in person recently and they have fairly simple screens with a few options usually per screen and perhaps some tabs. Color is usually present but not usually overdone.
My question, I noticed they all have a gradient type of button in several formats and how do you th ink I should best approach my project to achieve a nice graident button and controls.
Here is what I have looked at thus far.
1) Skinning. If I find nothing else, this is the area I will probably land. When I am finished with my research, I will post my findings.
Through skinning, I can apply a theme to the Delphi application and at least get a completely different feel than the basic application colors with very little coding.
2) HMI (Human Machine Interface) I do not know much about this, yet, but this seems to be an option.
3) Just DIY, or do-it-yourself - create nice gradient designs in a paint...
Anas:
Wes is correct. Moreover, I cannot share code from the application without breaking copyright rules/laws. Yes, I wrote it, but I do not own it, my employer owns the code - not me.
Follow what, Wes, indicates and see where it takes you. I do the same thing with languages I learn such as Ruby, or PHP.
The other thing you probably need is a solid understanding of database design. if you do not have a DBA, or database administrator, availabl...
So yesterday, all was well, happy happy joy joy. Today...when I try to open up my database program...I get an error, Cannot write to Engine configuration file BDE Error 8453 [$21] [$5]. Same problem when I open BDE Admin - System configuration file not found. System default in use. When I try to recreate the Alias and save the settings, same error, Cannot write to Engine configuration file. So my question is..what happened to the configuration file? I still have the new config file that I created previously, but when I try to apply it to the Alias, same error. I still have the default idapi32.cfg file. But when I try to make a new Alias with that config file, and save it as ParadoxTest (which is the name of the Alias I was using before), it won't let me save. Also will not let me save a newly created .cfg file. Any ideas?, , Using Delphi 6 enterprise with paradox 4.0 tables. Windows 98. .pas .dpr etc files on a Novel network drive, .cfg file is on the same network drive in different di...
I am having problems changing the sort order on a DBgrid at runtime (I am using paradox tables). I have pre-defined an index for each field I wish to sort on (in ascending order)., , I can change which column to sort on by clicking in the column title without problems, but changing the ascend/descend order does not work., , I have stepped through my code and the index definition appears to be getting changed correctly but it seems to lose the change when the Indexdefs are updated or the table is reopened. Here is my routine that is called from the OnTitleClick event., , procedure TTimeSeriesForm.Descend(DoDescending: boolean; Column: TColumn);, var, I: Integer;, begin, CatGrid.DataSource.DataSet.DisableControls;, with Datamodule2 do, begin, CSR.Close;, for I := 0 to CSR.IndexDefs.Count - 1 do, if (CSR.IndexDefs.Items.Fields = Column.FieldName) then, begin, if (Not DoDescending) then, CSR.IndexDefs.Items.DescFields :=...
If it is an index, then by default it is automatically ascending.
When selecting the data, include a SORT BY clause and then DESC for descending - it is automatically ascending by default. Here is an example: SELECT FieldA, FieldB, FieldC FROM Employee ORDER BY FieldB; SELECT FieldA, FieldB, FieldC FROM Employee ORDER BY FieldB DESC;
Am using CodeGear 2007 Win32 with dBase, ACE Reporter, Woll2Woll, JEDI components; therefore I have a lot of TTables and TQueries throughout my program. My applciation runs on a 2003 server with XP workstations. The response time to access data (retrieve, post, do SQLs) is horrible. The users are demanding something better. But I don't know what is better. And I don't know what the ramfications are in changing to something better.
I sincerely hope that someone can give me recommendations as well as address the difficulty in changing to another database.
Thank you so much,
Charlie

>We are also toying with Rave report instead of RTF as Rave apparently can output a PDF quite easily.
[wp] I think you're on the right track - turning to a reporting tool. Rave might do the trick, but I've found it kind of hard to work with.
I haven't tried to do exactly what you're describing, but I'd be very surprised if my favorite reporting tool couldn't handle it: Fast Report. Fast Report also does a fine job of producing PDF output.
