  • How do I Convert ARGB value from string to color?

    - by James
    I am trying to use the MakeColor method in the GDIAPI unit but the conversion from int to byte is not returning me the correct value. Example var argbStr: string; A, R, G, B: Byte; begin argbStr := 'ffffcc88'; A := StrToInt('$' + Copy(AValue, 0, 2)); R := StrToInt('$' + Copy(AValue, 3, 2)); G := StrToInt('$' + Copy(AValue, 5, 2)); B := StrToInt('$' + Copy(AValue, 7, 2)); Result := MakeColor(A, R, G, B); end; What am I doing wrong?

  • How to convert Big Endian and how to flip the highest bit?

    - by Robert Frank
    I am using a TStream to read binary data (thanks to this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2878180/how-to-use-a-tfilestream-to-read-2d-matrices-into-dynamic-array). My next problem is that the data is Big Endian. From my reading, the Swap() method is seemingly deprecated. How would I swap the types below? 16-bit two's complement binary integer 32-bit two's complement binary integer 64-bit two's complement binary integer IEEE single precision floating-point - Are IEEE affected by Big Endian? And, finally, since the data is unsigned, the creators of this dataset have stored the unsigned values as signed integers (excluding the IEEE). They instruct that one need only add an offset (2^15, 2^31, and 2^63) to recover the unsigned data. But, they note that flipping the most significant bit is the fastest way to do that. How does one efficiently flip the most significant bit of a 16, 32, or 64-bit integer? So, if the data on disk (16-bit) is "85 FB" - the desired result after reading the data and swapping and bit flipping would be 1531. Is there a way to accomplish the swapping and bit flipping with generics so it fits into the generic answer at the link above? Yes, kids, THIS is how scientific astronomical data is stored by NASA, ESO, and all professional astronomers. This FITS standard is considered by some to be one of the most successful standards ever created in its proliferation and flexibility!

  • procedure that swaps the bytes (low/high) of a Word variable

    - by Altar
    Hi. I have this procedure that swaps the bytes (low/high) of a Word variable (It does the same stuff as System.Swap function). The procedure works when the compiler optimization is OFF but not when it is ON. Can anybody help me with this? { UNSAFE! IT IS NOW WORKING WHEN COMPILER OPTIMIZATION IS ON ! } procedure SwapWord_NotWorking(VAR TwoBytes: word); asm Mov EBX, TwoBytes Mov AX, [EBX] XCHG AL,AH Mov [EBX], AX end;

  • Retrieving data from an encrypted text file?

    - by user
    Let's say I have a text file contains my data. data : ab bc de - encrypted data on text file : ba cb ed I want to find bc from text file, so I have to decrypt the text file with this code : SL:=TStringList.create; SL.LoadFromFile(textfile) SLtemp:=TStringList.create; for I := 0 to SL.Count - 1 do SLtemp.Add(ReverseString(SL[i])); //decrypt SL.Free; for I := 0 to SLtemp.Count - 1 do if SLtemp[i] = 'bc' then begin showmessage('found'); break; end; SLtemp.Free; I think my way is wasting resources. I have to load whole file to memory and decrypt them. I need some suggestions here to find quickly a specific line from an encrypted text. Thanks.

  • What does "the application failed to initialize properly" mean?

    - by Mason Wheeler
    I just got a bug report from someone running an app I wrote under Windows XP. He says it won't start up. The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application. It works fine at my end, (under Windows 7,) and I don't have any Win7- or Vista-specific stuff in the program, so it should work on XP too. How do I go about tracking this down and debugging it?

  • Why won't my control accept keyboard input?

    - by Mason Wheeler
    I've built a custom control that I'm trying to send input to. It will accept mouse input and report MouseDown, MouseMove and MouseUp correctly, but for whatever reason, it won't accept keyboard input. When I click on it, it doesn't receive focus, and any keys I press get interpreted by whatever control had the focus already. This is probably something really simple. The first place I thought to look was in the ControlStyle property, but the only thing I can see in the helpfile about keyboard input is csNoStdEvents, which disables it, and my control doesn't have that. So what do I need to do to make it so my control can receive input focus?

  • Doing a SetLength on an array passed into a proc by reference

    - by csharpdefector
    Hi All, Sure, even I can do this... var testarray : array of string; setlength(testarray, 5); but if I want to get clever and have a procedure into which I pass the array by referance like this I cant do it! procedure DoStuffWithArray(var passedarray : array of string); begin setlength(passedarray, 5); end; compiler says 'incompatible types' on the single line of code in my proc. I can do other stuff on the array like set set element values if i do a setlength before i call the proc, but I cannot do the setlength in my proc, which is what I want to do. Any help much appreciated, thanks all.

  • Is there any way to get all the controls on a container control?

    - by Mason Wheeler
    I've got a form with a bunch of controls on it, and I wanted to iterate through all the controls on a certain panel and enable/disable them. I tried this: var component: TComponent; begin for component in myPanel do (component as TControl).Enabled := Value; end; But that did nothing. Turns out all components are in the form's component collection, not their parent object's. So does anyone know if there's any way to get all the controls inside a control? (Besides an ugly workaround like this, which is what I ended up having to do): var component: TComponent; begin for component in myPanel do if (component is TControl) and (TControl(component).parent = myPanel) then TControl(component).Enabled := Value; end; Someone please tell me there's a better way...

  • How to debug this?

    - by LeonixSolutions
    I have an application which takes measurements every second (I am running it in demo mode & generating random data, so the problem is not to do with reading from devices attached to the serial port). After 5 or 6 minutes it hangs. I have added try // entire body of procedure/function goes here except on E: Exception do begin MessageDlg('Internal coding error in <function name>()', mtError, [mbOK], 0); end; end; to every single function (and Application.Run() in the project file), but I don't see any message dialogs. Any idea how I can test this?

  • Barcode reading method?

    - by Atlas
    I recently acquired a Metrologic Barcode scanner (USB port), as everyone already knows it works as a keyboard emulator out of the box. Now my question, how do I configure the scanner and my application, so that my app can process the barcode data directly. That is, I don't want the user to focus on a "Text field" and then process the data when the KeyPress event fires.

  • How to avoid GUI freeze when calling Beginthread API?

    - by isa
    Below just a simple race between 2 button in 2 threads, and this will freeze other components on the form. procedure moveButton1(); var I: Integer; begin for I := 0 to 6000 do Form1.Button1.Left := Form1.Button1.Left - 1; Form1.Caption := 'Button1 won!'; EndThread(0); end; procedure moveButton2(); var I: Integer; begin for I := 0 to 6000 do Form1.Button2.Left := Form1.Button2.Left - 1; Form1.Caption := 'Button2 won!'; EndThread(0); end; procedure TForm1.Button3Click(Sender: TObject); var thread1, thread2,tick : Integer; id1, id2 : LongWord; begin thread1 := BeginThread(nil, 0, Addr(moveButton1), nil, 0, id1); thread2 := BeginThread(nil, 0, Addr(moveButton2), nil, 0, id2); CloseHandle(thread1); CloseHandle(thread2); end;

  • Inheritance of TCollectionItem

    - by JamesB
    I'm planning to have collection of items stored in a TCollection. Each item will derive from TBaseItem which in turn derives from TCollectionItem, With this in mind the Collection will return TBaseItem when an item is requested. Now each TBaseItem will have a Calculate function, in the the TBaseItem this will just return an internal variable, but in each of the derivations of TBaseItem the Calculate function requires a different set of parameters. The Collection will have a Calculate All function which iterates through the collection items and calls each Calculate function, obviously it would need to pass the correct parameters to each function I can think of three ways of doing this: Create a virtual/abstract method for each calculate function in the base class and override it in the derrived class, This would mean no type casting was required when using the object but it would also mean I have to create lots of virtual methods and have a large if...else statement detecting the type and calling the correct "calculate" method, it also means that calling the calculate method is prone to error as you would have to know when writing the code which one to call for which type with the correct parameters to avoid an Error/EAbstractError. Create a record structure with all the possible parameters in and use this as the parameter for the "calculate" function. This has the added benefit of passing this to the "calculate all" function as it can contain all the parameters required and avoid a potentially very long parameter list. Just type casting the TBaseItem to access the correct calculate method. This would tidy up the TBaseItem quite alot compared to the first method. What would be the best way to handle this collection?

  • Where can I find "reference barcodes" to verify barcode library output?

    - by mjustin
    This question is not about 'best' barcode library recommendation, we use various products on different platforms, and need a simple way to verify if a given barcode is correct (according to its specification). There are some free online bar code generators in the Internet, and I found many differences between their output and our library output regarding graphics and text field below the code. Now I am not sure which one is wrong, and before filing bug report I want to make sure how the correct barcode should look like. We mainly need Code128 and UCC/EAN-128 with A/B/C subcodes. Which resource would you suggest?

  • Why SendMailMAPI renames file attachments to shorter ones?

  • The same property and procedure in different Classes. How they can be accessed ?

    - by lyborko
    Hi, I created several new objects TMyMemo = class (TMemo) private FYahoo = Integer; procedure SetYahoo(Value:integer) public procedure Google(A,B:integer; S:string); published property Yahoo:integer read FYahoo write SetYahoo; end; TMyPaintbox = class (TPaintbox) private FYahoo = Integer; procedure SetYahoo(Value:integer) public procedure Google(A,B:integer; S:string); published property Yahoo:integer read FYahoo write SetYahoo; end; TMyButton = class (TButton) private FYahoo = Integer; procedure SetYahoo(Value:integer) public procedure Google(A,B:integer; S:string); published property Yahoo:integer read FYahoo write SetYahoo; end; . . . These Controls are placed on Form1. Is there a way, how can I change the same property (Yahoo) and run the procedure (Google), which is declared in different objects (inheritance is not possible) ? procedure Form1.Button1Click(Sender:TObject); var i:integer; begin for i:=0 to Form1.ControlCount-1 do begin Controls[i].Google(4,5, 'Web'); // this should be changed somehow Controls[i].Yahoo:=6; // this should be changed somehow end; end; end; Thanks

  • How to use SetTextCharacterExtra in TEdit or TMemo?

    - by lyborko
    Hi, Does anybody know any component based on TEdit or TMemo, in which is possible to set different intercharacter spacing? Win API SetTextCharacterExtra solves the problem for Tcanvas, but I tried hard to implement this behavior as a property for my own TEdit Component (a year ago) and despite of my various desperate attempts to do this, I failed. Thanx in advance.

  • OO Design: use Properties or Overloaded methods?

    - by Robert Frank
    Question about OO design. Suppose I have a base object vehicle. And two descendants: truck and automobile. Further, suppose the base object has a base method: FixFlatTire(); abstract; When the truck and automobile override the base object's, they require different information from the caller. Am I better off overloading FixFlatTire like this in the two descendant objects: Procedure Truck.FixFlatTire( OfficePhoneNumber: String; NumberOfAxles: Integer): Override; Overload; Procedure Automobile.FixFlatTire( WifesPhoneNumber: String; AAAMembershipID: String): Override; Overload; Or introducing new properties in each of the descendants and then setting them before calling FixFlatTire, like this: Truck.OfficePhoneNumber := '555-555-1212'; Truck.NumberOfAxles := 18; Truck.FixFlatTire(); Automobile.WifesPhoneNumber := '555-555-2323'; Automobile.AAAMembershipID := 'ABC'; Automobile.FixFlatTire();

  • Why does Indy 10's echo server have high CPU usage when the client disconnects?

    - by Virtuo
    When I disconnect echo client like : EchoClient1.Disconnect; client disconnects fine... but EchoServer does NOT EVEN register client disconnection and it ends up with high process usage !?!? in every example and every doc it says that calling EchoClient.Disconnect is sufficient ! anyone, any idea ? (I am working in Win7, cloud that be a problem ?) Server code : procedure TForm2.EServerConnect(AContext: TIdContext); begin SrvMsg.Lines.Add('ECHO Client connected !'); end; procedure TForm2.EServerDisconnect(AContext: TIdContext); begin SrvMsg.Lines.Add('ECHO Client disconnected !'); end; problem is "TForm2.EServerDisconnect" never executes !?!?
