调用包中的DataModule时会出现这样的问题，在Option中加载，然后在exe中uses嘛，这是什么情况？

如果没有加载，就是这个窗体文件不在。

实际有没有呢？？

另外是不是　frmsd 继承的父窗体经常改动？

会不会是目录问题？

检查一下窗体的单元文件名称, 是否存在一个单元文件frmsd.pas，如果没有，肯定出错，Delphi加载单元frmsd.pas，默认去读frmsd.dfm，如果frmsd.pas不存在，或者修改了名字，肯定提示frmsd.dfm不存在。

Don't forget to mention your name, street address, EMail and web site. Contributions: -------------- ICS has been designed by Fran鏾is PIETTE but many other peoples are working on the components and sample programs. The history of changes in each source file list all developers having contributed (When no name is given, the change is by F. Piette). I can't list all contributors here but I want to specially thanks two specially active contributors: - Arno Garrels - Angus Robertson Latest versions: --------------- The latest versions of ICS can be downloaded from the ICS Wiki web site: http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download ICS V5 and V6 are archive releases no longer updated, last supported release was 2007. ICS V7 is a stable release that may still be updated for major bugs, but not for new releases of Delphi, latest it supported was XE3. ICS V8 is the current development release which is held in a public Version Control repository that is zipped each night for easy download. The download page above also includes the OpenSSL binaries needed to support SSL. ICS V8 supports Delphi 64-bit and Mac OS-X projects. Note that latest C++ Builder version supported is XE3 (lack of spare time, sorry). ICS V9 is in early development and is planned to support Android. There are no current plans for ICS for iOS. Version Control repository: --------------------------- svn://svn.overbyte.be/ics or http://svn.overbyte.be:8443/svn/ics (Usercode = ics, password = ics) Installation: ------------- ICS V8 has been designed for Embarcadero Delphi 2009 and up, and C++ Builder 2009 and up, but is fully compatible with Borland Delphi 7 and CodeGear 2006 and 2007. Embarcadero RAD Studio includes Delphi and C++ Builder. http://www.embarcadero.com/ With Delphi XE2 and later, VCL 64-bit Windows targets are supported for Delphi only. Currently FireMonkey is partly supported for Delphi only (there are still a few non-ported components). ICS for Mac OSX is currently experimental. The zip file has sub-directories in it. You must use the WinZip "Use folder names" option to restore this directory tree or you will have problems because the files would not be in their proper subdirectories. Please note most of these directories are differently named to ICS V7 and earlier, to ease support of multiple versions of Delphi and platforms, and to ease location of similar sample projects. Please don't install V8 over an existing V7 installation, it will be a mess of old and new. This is the new V8 sub-directory layout: .\ Info directory .\Install Component packages project groups for all versions .\Packages (was Delphi\Vc32) Delphi (7 and up) and C++Builder (2006 and up) packages projects .\Source (was Delphi\Vc32) ICS Delphi source code built into packages .\Source\Include (was Delphi\Vc32) .inc files (including OverbyteIcsDefs.inc) .\Source\Extras (was Delphi\Vc32) Extra source code not built into packages .\Source\zobj125 (was Delphi\Vc32) ZLIB C OBJ include files .\Lib Unit output directories for all package builds, subdirectories | for 2007+ will be created on building the packages \$(Config) Release / Debug | \$(Platform) Win32 / Win64 / OSX32 | \ D7..XE8, 10 Seattle includes .dcu and .dfm files for Delphi and .obj and .hpp files for C++ Builder .\Samples Delphi Win32/Win64 common source for all demos .\Samples\delphi\BroswerDemo Delphi Win32/Win64 Web Browser sample application (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\BroswerDemo\Resources Resource file, web pages and movie linked into browser demo .\Samples\delphi\FtpDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 FTP sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\MailNewsDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 SMTP, POP3, NNTP sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\MiscDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 Miscellaneous applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\OtherDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 DNS, Ping, SNMP, Syslog sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\PlatformDemos Delphi FireMonkey and cross-platform samples (Delphi XE2+) .\Samples\delphi\SocketDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 Socket sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\sslinternet Delphi Win32/Win64 SSL-enabled sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\WebDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 HTTP sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\WebDemos\WebAppServerData Directory for WebAppServ demo data files .\Samples\delphi\WebDemos\WebServData Directory for WebServ demo data files .\Samples\cpp\internet C++Builder sample applications .\Samples\cpp\internet\cb2006 C++Builder 2006 projects .\Samples\cpp\internet\cb2007 C++Builder 2007 projects .\Samples\cpp\internet\cb2009 C++Builder 2009 projects .\Samples\cpp\internet\cb2010 C++Builder 2010 projects .\Samples\cpp\internet\cbXE C++Builder XE projects .\Samples\cpp\internet\cbXE2 C++Builder XE2 projects UPGRADING and REINSTALLING Uninstall an existing ICS package (Menu | Component | Install Packages, select the component package and click Remove). Rename the old ICS directory and unzip to a new or empty directory, remove the old path from the library path and add either the new .\Source directory to the library path under Tools | Options |... or the appropriate .\Lib subdirectory according to version, ie .\Lib\Debug\Win32\D2007 for Delphi 2007. The latter has the advantage that the ICS source code won't be recompiled whenever your project is build. Also under Tools | Options |... add the new .\Source directory to the Browsing path. All DELPHI and C++ BUILDER VERSIONS/WIN32 Always upgrade your compiler with the latest update available from Embarcadero. Always update your system with http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com SSL or not SSL? By default the SSL code is compiled into the run-time package and additional SSL- enabled components are installed. In order to not compile the SSL code into the run-time package and to not install the SSL-Enabled components you need to remove the conditional define USE_SSL from both the run-time and design-time package. However if you do not build your applications with run-time packages it is recommended to build the packages with default settings. The SSL code will the be compiled into your applications depending on whether the conditional define USE_SSL is set in the project options or not (this requires having the .\Source directory in either in the library path or in projects Search path). Actual use of SSL in your applications also requires the OpenSSL files LIBEAY32.DLL and SSLEAY32.DLL being available somewhere in the path. Note different DLLs are needed for Win32 and Win64 applications. The ICS distribution includes the latest Win32 OpenSSL files in the .\OpenSSL-Win32 directory and the two main DLLs duplicated in .\Samples\delphi\sslinternet. Other OpenSSL files, including older and Win64, may be downloaded from: http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download INSTALLATION USING THE INSTALL PROJECT GROUPS For each Delphi and C++ Builder version one project group is provided in directory .\Install: Delphi 7 : D7Install.bpg Delphi 2006 : D2006Install.bdsgroup Delphi 2007 : D2007Install.groupproj Delphi 2009 : D2009Install.groupproj Delphi 2010 : D2010Install.groupproj Delphi XE : DXeInstall.groupproj Delphi XE2 : DXe2Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE2 : DXe2InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE3 : DXe3Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE3 : DXe3InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE4 : DXe4Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE4 : DXe4InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE5 : DXe5Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE5 : DXe5InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE6 : DXe6Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE6 : DXe6InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE7 : DXe7Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE7 : DXe7InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE8 : DXe8Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE8 : DXe8InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi 10 Seattle : D10SInstall.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi 10 Seattle : D10SInstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components C++ Builder 2006 : CB2006Install.bdsgroup C++ Builder 2007 : CB2007Install.groupproj C++ Builder 2009 : CB2009Install.groupproj C++ Builder 2010 : CB2010Install.groupproj C++ Builder XE : CBXeInstall.groupproj C++ Builder XE2 : CBXe2Install.groupproj // VCL only no FireMonkey components C++ Builder XE2 : CBXe2InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components C++ Builder XE3 : CBXe3InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components 1 - Do a File/Open Project, navigate to the Install directory, select the correct file and open it. The project manager view should now display two package projects, one run-time and one design-time package. The run-time package name contains the "Run" suffix. The design-time package name contains the "Design" suffix. 2 - Select and Build the run-time package (do not install). 3 - Select and Install the design-time package. After a few seconds, you should have a dialog box telling you the package has been installed with a bunch of new components registered in the Tool Palette under "Overbyte ICS" and "Overbyte ICS SSL". Then do a "Save All" and a "Close All". 4 - One package is installed, called 'Overbyte ICS Design-Time Package for Delphi xxx'. 5 - Various directories under .\Samples\delphi\ include samples that illustrate use of all the ICS components, see later. FIREMONKEY CROSS PLATFORM PACKAGES: 1 - For XE2 and later, DXe?Install (where ? is the version) installs VCL components only, while DXe?InstallVclFmx also installs FireMonkey cross platform components (three run time packages). In order to use this feature first uninstall the old design-time package. 2 = Build all three run-time packages for all available platforms (32-bit and 64-bit Windows and Mac OS X) in the order they are listed in project manager. 3 - Next build and install the three design-time packages in the order they are listed in project manager. 4 - Three packages are installed, called: 'Overbyte ICS Common Design-Time Package for Delphi xxx' 'Overbyte ICS FMX Design-Time Package for Delphi xxx' 'Overbyte ICS VCL Design-Time Package for Delphi xxx' Note that the new packaging is still beta/alpha, both package names and included units might change in a future beta drop. The old VCL packages are still there however they do no longer support FireMonkey and of course only one set of packages can be installed in the IDE at the same time, if you want both VCL and FMX install DXe2InstallVclFmx.groupproj only. Currently the XE2 package cache is buggy and should be disabled by adding the -nocache parameter. 5 - The .\Samples\delphi\PlatformDemos\ folder contains FireMonkey sample projects that may all be built with FireMonkey for Mac OS X (and Windows). ALTERNATE INSTALLATION USING THE PACKAGE PROJECT FILES: For each Delphi and C++ Builder version two package project files exist in the .\Packages directory. One run-time and one design-time package project file. The run-time file name contains the "Run" suffix. The design-time file name contains the "Design" suffix. PACKAGE PROJECT FILE NAMES - VCL: Delphi 7 : OverbyteIcsD7Run.dpk, OverbyteIcsD7Design.dpk Delphi 2006 : OverbyteIcsD2006Run.bdsproj, OverbyteIcsD2006Design.bdsproj Delphi 2007 : OverbyteIcsD2007Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsD2007Design.dproj Delphi 2009 : OverbyteIcsD2009Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsD2009Design.dproj Delphi 2010 : OverbyteIcsD2010Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsD2010Design.dproj Delphi XE : OverbyteIcsDXeRun.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXeDesign.dproj Delphi XE2 : OverbyteIcsDXe2Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe2Design.dproj Delphi XE3 : OverbyteIcsDXe3Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe3Design.dproj Delphi XE4 : OverbyteIcsDXe4Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe4Design.dproj Delphi XE5 : OverbyteIcsDXe5Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe5Design.dproj Delphi XE6 : OverbyteIcsDXe6Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe6Design.dproj Delphi XE7 : OverbyteIcsDXe7Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe7Design.dproj Delphi XE8 : OverbyteIcsDXe8Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe8Design.dproj Delphi 10 Seattle : OverbyteIcsD10SRun.dproj, OverbyteIcsD10SDesign.dproj C++ Builder 2006 : OverbyteIcsCB2006Run.bdsproj, OverbyteIcsCB2006Design.bdsproj C++ Builder 2007 : OverbyteIcsCB2007Run.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCB2007Design.cbproj C++ Builder 2009 : OverbyteIcsCB2009Run.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCB2009Design.cbproj C++ Builder 2010 : OverbyteIcsCB2010Run.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCB2010Design.cbproj C++ Builder XE : OverbyteIcsCBXeRun.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCBXeDesign.cbproj C++ Builder XE2 : OverbyteIcsCBXe2Run.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCBXe2Design.cbproj C++ Builder XE3 : OverbyteIcsCBXe3Run.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCBXe3Design.cbproj PACKAGE PROJECT FILE NAMES - FireMonkey and VCL: Delphi XE2 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe2Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe2Design.dproj Delphi XE2 VCL : IcsVclDXe2Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe2Design.dproj Delphi XE2 FMX : IcsFmxDXe2Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe2Design.dproj Delphi XE3 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe3Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe3Design.dproj Delphi XE3 VCL : IcsVclDXe3Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe3Design.dproj Delphi XE3 FMX : IcsFmxDXe3Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe3Design.dproj Delphi XE4 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe4Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe4Design.dproj Delphi XE4 VCL : IcsVclDXe4Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe4Design.dproj Delphi XE4 FMX : IcsFmxDXe4Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe4Design.dproj Delphi XE5 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe5Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe5Design.dproj Delphi XE5 VCL : IcsVclDXe5Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe5Design.dproj Delphi XE5 FMX : IcsFmxDXe5Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe5Design.dproj Delphi XE6 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe6Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe6Design.dproj Delphi XE6 VCL : IcsVclDXe6Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe6Design.dproj Delphi XE6 FMX : IcsFmxDXe6Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe6Design.dproj Delphi XE7 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe7Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe7Design.dproj Delphi XE7 VCL : IcsVclDXe7Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe7Design.dproj Delphi XE7 FMX : IcsFmxDXe7Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe7Design.dproj Delphi XE8 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe8Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe8Design.dproj Delphi XE8 VCL : IcsVclDXe8Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe8Design.dproj Delphi XE8 FMX : IcsFmxDXe8Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe8Design.dproj Delphi 10 Seattle FMX/VCL: IcsCommonD10SRun.dproj, IcsCommonD10SDesign.dproj Delphi 10 Seattle VCL : IcsVclD10SRun.dproj, IcsVclD10SDesign.dproj Delphi 10 Seattle FMX : IcsFmxD10SRun.dproj, IcsFmxD10SDesign.dproj C++ Builder XE2 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonCBXe2Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe2Design.dproj C++ Builder XE2 VCL : IcsVclCBXe2Run.dproj, IcsVclCBXe2Design.dproj C++ Builder XE2 FMX : IcsFmxCBXe2Run.dproj, IcsFmxCBXe2Design.dproj C++ Builder XE3 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonCBXe3Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe3Design.dproj C++ Builder XE3 VCL : IcsVclCBXe3Run.dproj, IcsVclCBXe3Design.dproj C++ Builder XE3 FMX : IcsFmxCBXe3Run.dproj, IcsFmxCBXe3Design.dproj 1 - Open and Build the run-time package project (do not install!). 2 - Open and Install the design-time package project. (Do a File/Open Project, browse to the .\Packages directory. Select the correct file and open it. Then in the project manager view, right-click on the package, then click on either the Build or Install button.) 3 - For Delphi XE2 and later, a 64-bit run-time package can be built by changing the package target platform to 64-bit Windows. This has the same name as the 32-bit package, so a different package output directory needs to be specified in Tools / Options / Delphi Options for 64-bit Windows. After a few seconds, you should have a dialog box telling you the package has been installed with a bunch of new components registered in the Tool Palette under "Overbyte ICS" and "Overbyte ICS SSL". Then do a "Save All" and a "Close All". DELPHI 2006/WIN32, 2007/WIN32, 2009/WIN32, 2010/WIN32, XE/WIN32: Having installed the package, verify that the appropriate Win32 Library Path (Tools / Options / Delphi Options / Library - Win32 / Library Path) has been added, .\Lib subdirectory according to version, ie .\Lib\Debug\Win32\D2007 for Delphi 2007. If not, add it manually. It is not mandatory to add .\Lib to the global Delphi path, but it will be much easier for you because otherwise you'll have to add it to each project. DELPHI XE2/WIN32, XE3/WIN32, XE4/WIN32, XE5/WIN32, XE6/WIN32, XE7/WIN32, XE8/WIN32, 10 Seattle/WIN32, XE2/WIN64, XE3/WIN64, XE4/WIN64, XE5/WIN64, XE6/WIN64, XE7/WIN64, XE8/WIN64, 10 Seattle/WIN64: Similar to above, but the Library path is specified separately for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Platforms. DELPHI 7: Add VC32 directory path to your library path (Tools menu / Environment Options / Library / Library Path. Add .\Lib\Debug\Win32\D7 path at the end of the existing path). SAMPLE DELPHI PROJECTS Once the package is installed, you may open the sample projects. The samples are split into several directories according to protocols, most with a project group that can be opened in all versions of Delphi. .\Samples\delphi\BroswerDemo .\Samples\delphi\FtpDemos\FtpDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\MailNewsDemos\MailNewsDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\MiscDemos\MiscDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\OtherDemos\OtherDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\PlatformDemos\XSamples.groupproj .\Samples\delphi\SocketDemos\SocketDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\sslinternet\SslDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\WebDemos\WebDemos.bpg Full details of the sample projects are shown later in this document. You might get some dialog box telling you that resource files are missing (they may not have been included in the zip file to save space) and are recreated by Delphi. It is OK. Any other error message is a problem you should fix. After all resource files have been recreated, you should see in the project manager a group of projects. To compile all samples in the group at once, do Project / Build all projects. This may take a few minutes. Note 1: Delphi may run out of memory if you ask to compile all projects at once. If you have not enough RAM, then compile each project individually. Note 2: Delphi has warnings which triggers a lot of messages for 100% OK code. You can turn those warnings off in the project/ options / Compiler messages and deselecting: "Deprecated symbol", "Platform symbol", "unsafe type", "unsafe code", "unsafe typecast". Those are intended for .NET and Linux portability. You can safely ignore them if you run windows. For you facility, I included a utility SetProjectOptions (source code, you must compile it) in the internet directory. This utility will update project options to disable the warnings. Once the components are all installed, you may open the sample projects each one after the other and compile them. For each project, do file/open and select the dpr file in the internet directory. Then Project/Build All. C++ BUILDER 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, XE, XE2, XE3: Follow the installation procedure described for Delphi 2006. Just change the project group and package name: use CB2006, CBXe, etc, see above. You can't have Delphi 2006 and CBuilder 2006 packages installed at the same time in the IDE. So when switching from one to the other, be sure to remove the one you don't need. Building the FireMonkey CBXE2InstallVclFmx C++ packages for OSX may trigger an ILINK32 error, this is a bug in C++ Builder reported as QC #103668 the Win32 packages should build without errors. Once the components are all installed, you may open the sample projects each one after the other and compile them. For each project, do file/open and select the dpr file in the internet directory. Then Project/Build All. Projects are located in SAMPLES\CPP\INTERNET\CB2006\ (or CB2006, CBXE, etc) with a project group in each directory, OverbyteIcsCB2006Sam.bdsgroup, OverbyteIcsCBXe2Sam.groupproj, etc. It is likely that for each project, C++ Builder complains about a missing .res file. This is not a problem, C++ Builder will recreate it as needed. They have not been included to save space in the zip file. Once the components are all installed, you may open the sample projects each one after the other and compile them. For each project, do file/open and select the dpr file in the internet directory. Then Project/Build All. NOTES: - You may have an error message, using Delphi or C++ Builder complaining about Font.Charset, OldCreateOrder and other properties. Those are new properties in newer Delphi or C++ Builder versions, newer than the version you use. You can safely ignore those errors because those properties are not used by the components nor sample programs. You may encounter this error at run time. To avoid it, you must open each form at design time and ignore the error. Then recompile. If you don't ignore the error at design time, you'll have it at runtime ! - If you have Delphi or C++ Builder complaining about a file not found, add .\source directory to your library path. - If you are using C++ Builder you may encounter an error at link time such as "Unable to open file MWBCB30.LIB" (or other libs). This is a bug in C++ Builder. To solve it, you can edit project option file (right click in project manager) and remove any reference to the missing libraries. - Don't forget that the C++Builder components are located in .\delphi\vc32 which is object pascal source code (not a problem for C++Builder, just indicate that the *.pas files are displayed when installing). C++Builder will create the *.hpp files. There are some on-line help files in the VC32 directory.

FireMonkey uses different visual components to VCL, while some non-visual components can be used for both VCL and FMX projects, while other components need special versions, such as ICS. Earlier betas of V8 used the conditional define "FMX" which is *no longer required in project options. Instead in your existing ICS FireMonkey app. add either "Ics.Fmx" to the unit scope names in project options or apply the following changes in the uses clause, rename: OverbyteIcsWndControl -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsWndControl OverbyteIcsWSocket -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsWSocket OverbyteIcsFtpCli -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsFtpCli OverbyteIcsFtpSrv -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsFtpSrv OverbyteIcsHttpProt -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsHttpProt OverbyteIcsWSocketS -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsWSocketS OverbyteIcsSmtpProt -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsSmtpProt.pas OverbyteIcsPop3Prot -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsPop3Prot.pas OverbyteIcsNntpCli -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsNntpCli.pas OverbyteIcsPing -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsPing.pas OverbyteIcsDnsQuery -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsDnsQuery.pas OverbyteIcsFingCli -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsFingCli.pas OverbyteIcsSslSessionCache -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsSslSessionCache.pas OverbyteIcsSslThrdLock -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsSslThrdLock.pas OverbyteIcsHttpSrv -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsHttpSrv.pas OverbyteIcsSocketUtils -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsSocketUtils.pas OverbyteIcsMultipartFtpDownloader -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsMultipartFtpDownloader.pas OverbyteIcsMultipartHttpDownloader -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsMultipartHttpDownloader.pas OverbyteIcsHttpAppServer -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsHttpAppServer.pas OverbyteIcsThreadTimer -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsThreadTimer.pas OverbyteIcsCharsetComboBox -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsCharsetComboBox.pas { Demo units } OverbyteIcsWebAppServerCounter -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsWebAppServerCounter OverbyteIcsWebAppServerMailer -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsWebAppServerMailer The list above is also the list of units that now have different names in the FireMonkey framework however most of them share the same source file. Dropping a ICS component on the form will add the correct unit name for each framework automatically (don't forget to disable the package cache as described above). Unit OverbyteIcsLibrary.pas has been *deprecated* and ICS IPv8 doesn't use it anymore. If you used it in your own code read the comment in OverbyteIcsLibrary.pas, search for "deprecated". Sample applications: -------------------- With V8, the sample applications are now grouped into directories according to general functionality, to make it easier to compare related samples. Many samples are similar. When searching for something, always look at the date the demos where created. The most recent is always the best code! In the lists below, ACTIVE!! indicates applications that are actively maintained to test and support new functionality in the ICS components. These may not be simplest samples, but are usually the first to try when learning about a component.

And those rewritten are frequently much simpler. So C++ Builder user: have a look at the Delphi sample too ! Note 2: Follow "UserMade" link on ICS web site to find more sample programs written by ICS users. As explained in the component installation, you may encounter an error loading a sample application or running it. This may be because the last time I loaded the form, I was using another Delphi or C++ Builder version which has new properties. You can safely ignore messages related to those new properties. They are not used in the samples. (The properties are CharSet, OldCreateOrder and others). You can also encounter error about duplicate resources. You can ignore them safely. If you have those errors, open each form in the IDE, ignore the error then recompile. If you don't open the form in the IDE, you'll get the errors at runtime and your program will abort. When installing a new version, always delete old dcu, obj, dcpil and always recompile everything ! Close everything before recompiling the library or packages. When installing a new version, be sure to unzip it in the same directory tree as the old one or you'll mess both versions. About SSL: ---------- TSslWSocket and TSslWSocketServer component are derived from the standard TWSocket and TWSocketServer component. The SSL code is compiled into the component only if you define USE_SSL symbol to your packages and projects. Just add USE_SSL to the defines in the project or package options and recompile everything. The components make use of LIBEAY32.DLL and SSLEAY32.DLL to handle SSL protocol stuff. The DLLs are dynamically loaded at runtime. It means that the DLLs will only be required at runtime when you first make use of a SSL function. Your applications will run on systems without OpenSSL DLLs as long as you don't call any SSL function. The files may be downloaded from: http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download Most ICS components have their SSL enabled counter part. They work exactly the same way as the regular component except when SSL specific stuff is needed, for example certificates. To support SSL stuff, the SSL-enabled version use some new properties, events and methods. Many sample programs have their SSL-enabled counter part in a separate sources located in SslInternet folder. SSL certificates: To make use of SSL, you frequently need certificates. I provide some demo certificates I built using command line OpenSSL tool. PEM certificates can be opened by a text editor, LF as well as CRLF are allowed as line breaks. CACERT.PEM : A demo certificate for "Example CA" 01CERT.PEM : A demo certificate which is signed by CACERT.PEM 01KEY.PEM : A demo private key for 01CERT.PEM Passphrase is "password". CLIENT.PEM : A demo certificate and private key. Passphrase is "password". SERVER.PEM : A demo certificate and private key. Passphrase is "password". ROOT.PEM : A demo CA certificate. Passphrase is "password". TRUSTEDCABUNDLE.PEM : A demo CA file in PEM format containing multiple well known root CA certificates to be specified in property CA Path of the demo applications. Read the comments included in this file. 6F6359FC.0 : Located in sub directory SslInternet\TrustedCaStore, it's the file CACERT.PEM stored with a hashed file name. Directory TrustedCaStore can be specified in property CA Path of the demo applications. For details about certificate, see the excellent book: "Network security with OpenSSL", O'Reilly, ISBN 10: 0-596-00270-X The SSL demo project OverbyteIcsPemTool may be used to create self signed PEM certificates, certificate requests for commercial use, to convert existing certificates in the Windows Certificate Store to PEM format understood by OpenSSL and to examine PEM certificates. You will find more information in IcsSslHowTo.txt file. Commercial SSL certificates: To avoid browsers giving certificate warning messages, you need to purchase a SSL certificate from one of numerous companies, such as Verisign, Thawte GeoTrust or RapidSSL. Prices vary dramatically and are often cheaper from resellers such as Servertastic than from the main issuing companies. The main purpose of an SSL certificate is to prove the identity of the owner of a web site, ideally the company behind the web site. That usually requires paper work identifying the company is submitted and also proof the domain being protected is owned by that company, it usually also involves telephone calls. Such certificates are usually called fully validated and cost $120 or more each year for a single domain, ie secure.website.com. Wild card certificates cost $350 or more, but protect multiple sub-domains, ie web.website.com as well. Extended Validation certificates cost from $450 a year, and show the company name in green in the address bar. For testing and simple use, instant issued SSL certificates cost from $15 per year and protect a single domain only with automated checking reducing the cost (an email to admin@website.com to prove you receive email for the domain, perhaps a telephone call as well). Note these instant certificates do not include a company name. To buy and install an SSL certificate for use with ICS and OpenSSL follow these steps: 1 - Build the SSL demo project OverbyteIcsPemTool. Take Extras, Create Certificate Requests, fill in the various fields (check other certificates if uncertain, the Common Name is the domain to protect, ie secure.website.com and E-Mail should be an email address at the than domain, ideally admin or administrator, 2048 bits. Click Create, and specify two file names, first for the private key (mykey.pem) then the certificate request file (myreq.pem). The request can also be done using OpenSSL command line arguments, or you can build it into your own application. 2 - Choose you SSL supplier and certificate type, at some point during the ordering process you will be asked for the certificate request, so open the PEM file you saved with a text editor and copy the base64 encoded block starting -BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST- into the web form. It should be decoded and displayed so you check it's correct. The private key is not needed for the certificate to be issued. At this point the validation process starts as mentioned above, which might take hours or weeks to complete. 3 - Eventually the SSL certificate should be issued, either by email or made available to download from the supplier's web site. It should be in X.509 format in a base64 encoded block starting -BEGIN CERTIFICATE- which should be saved as a PEM file (mycert.pem). There should also be an Intermediate CA certificate, with which your new certificate was signed, which should also be saved as a file (mycacert.pem). This may also be downloadable from the supplier as a bundle file and should be common to any certificates they issue, ie RapidSSL_CA_bundle.pem. 4 - The OverbyteIcsPemTool tool has a View PEM button that allows examination of your new PEM files. 5 - The three PEM files now need to be attached to the SslContext component in your application, with properties SslCertFile, SslPrivKeyFile and SslCAFile. The request certificate file has no further use. Support: -------- There is a mailing list to discuss F. Piette's components and applications. To subscribe surf to http://lists.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket. Do not use an aliased EMail address, use your real EMail address, the one you'll use to post messages. After asking for subscription, you'll receive a confirmation email you must reply to it or you will _not_ be added to the subscriber's list (this is to check for email path and also make sure someone doesn't subscribe you without your consent). Once you have been registered with the mailing list processor, you can send messages to twsocket@elists.org. Every subscriber will receive a copy of your message. I will respond, but anybody is welcome to respond to each other's messages. So every body can share his expertise. There are many other useful mailing lists at http://www.elists.org ! Before asking a question, browse the message archive you can download from the support page on the web site (click the "support" button from main page) and from the mailing list web site http://lists.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket. Google is also archiving the list with some delay. If you found a bug, please make a short program that reproduces the problem attach it to a message addressed to me. If I can reproduce the problem, I can find a fix ! Do not send exe file but just source code and instructions. Always use the latest version (beta if any) before reporting any bug. You are also encouraged to use the support mailing list to ask for enhancements. You are welcome to post your own code. The support mailing list has sometimes a heavy traffic. If it is too much for you, you can select "digest" mode in which mailing list processor will mail you only one big message per day. To select digest mode goto http://lists.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket. You can also subscribe to another mailing list called twsocket-announce which will receive only very few messages when major bug fixes or updates are done. The subscription process is the same as for the other mailing list. See above procedure. Release notes ------------- There is no global release notes. Each component and sample has his own history. You can find those histories in the comment in the beginning of each source file. There are also a bunch of useful comments in the source code. You should at least browse the source for the components you are interested in. MidWare ------- If you wants to build client/server applications using TCP/IP protocol, you can do it easily with ICS. But you can do it much more easily using another freeware product from Fran鏾is Piette: MidWare. Available from the same web site http://www.overbyte.be. francois.piette@overbyte.be francois.piette@swing.be http://www.overbyte.be/ http://wiki.overbyte.be/

Supported platforms: ------------------------------------------- This release supports Delphi 4-6 and C++ Builder 4-5. Earlier versions of Delphi and C++ Builder will not be supported. If you need Delphi 3 or C++ Builder 3 support you will have to revert to version 3.7 of the Drag and Drop Component Suite. The library has been tested on NT4 service pack 5 and Windows 2000. Windows 95, 98, ME and XP should be supported, but has not been tested. Linux and Kylix are not supported. There are *NO* plans to port the library to Kylix. The drag and drop protocols available on Linux are too much of a mess at this time. ------------------------------------------- 2. Installation: ------------------------------------------- 1) Before you do anything else, read the "Known problems" section of this document. 2) Install the source into a directory of your choice. The files are installed into three directories: DragDrop DragDrop\Components DragDrop\Demo 3) Install and compile the appropriate design time package. The design time packages are located in the Components directory. Each version of Delphi and C++ Builder has its own package; DragDropD6.dpk for Delphi 6, DragDropD5.dpk for Delphi 5, DragDropC5.bpk for C++ Builder 5, etc. 4) Add the Drag and Drop Component Suite components directory to your library path. 5) Load the demo project group: demo\dragdrop_delphi.bpg for Delphi 5 and 6 demo\dragdrop_bcb4.bpg for C++ Builder 4 demo\dragdrop_bcb5.bpg for C++ Builder 5 The project group contains all the demo applications. 6) If your version of Delphi does not support text format DFM files (e.g. Delphi 4 doesn't), you will have to use the convert.exe utility supplied with Delphi to convert all the demo form files to binary format. A batch file, convert_forms_to delphi_4_format.bat, is supplied in the demo directory which automates the conversion process. The C++ Builder demo forms are distributed in binary format. 7) If upgrading from a previous version of the Drag and Drop Component Suite, please read the document "upgrading_to_v4.txt" before you begin working on your existing projects. Note about "Property does not exist" errors: Since all demos were developed with the latest version of Delphi, most of the demo forms probably contains references to properties that doesn't exist in earlier versions of Delphi and C++ Builder. Because of this you will get fatal run-time errors (e.g. "Error reading blahblahblah: Property does not exist.") if you attemt to run the demos without fixing this problem. Luckily it is very easy to make the forms work again; Just open the forms in the IDE, then select "Ignore All" when the IDE complains that this or that property doesn't exist and finally save the forms. ------------------------------------------- 3. Getting started: ------------------------------------------- It is recommended that you start by running each of the demo applications and then look through the demo source. Each demo application is supplied with a readme.txt file which briefly describes what the demo does and what features it uses. The demos should be run in the order in which they are listed in the supplied project group. Even if you have used previous versions of the Drag and Drop Component Suite it would be a good idea to have a quick look at the demos. The library has been completely rewritten and a lot of new features has been added. ------------------------------------------- 4. Known problems: ------------------------------------------- * The Shell Extension components does not support C++ Builder 4. For some strange reason the components causes a link error. * There appear to be sporadic problems compiling with C++ Builder 5. Several user have reported that they occasionally get one or more of the following compiler errors: [C++ Error] DragDropFile.hpp(178): E2450 Undefined structure '_FILEDESCRIPTORW' [C++ Error] DropSource.hpp(135): E2076 Overloadable operator expected I have not been able to reproduce these errors, but I believe the following work around will fix the problem: In the project options of *all* projects which uses these components, add the following conditional define: NO_WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN The define *must* be made in the project options. It is not sufficient to #define it in the source. If you manage to compile with C++ Builder (any version), I would very much like to know about it. * Delphi's and C++ Builder's HWND and THandle types are not compatible. For this reason it might be nescessary to cast C++ Builder's HWND values to Delphi's THandle type when a HWND is passed to a function. E.g.: if (DragDetectPlus(THandle(MyControl->Handle), Point(X, Y))) { ... } * Virtual File Stream formats can only be pasted from the clipboard with live data (i.e. FlushClipboard/OleFlushClipboard hasn't been called on the data source). This problem affects TFileContentsStreamOnDemandClipboardFormat and the VirtualFileStream demo. This is believed to be a bug in the Windows clipboard and a work around hasn't been found yet. * Asynchronous targets appears to be broken in the current release. * When TDropFileTarget.GetDataOnEnter is set to True, the component doesn't work with WinZip. Although the file names are received correctly by TDropFileTarget, WinZip doesn't extract the files and the files thus can't be copied/moved. This is caused by a quirk in WinZip; Apparently WinZip doesn't like IDataObject.GetData to be called before IDropTarget.Drop is called. ------------------------------------------- 5. Support and feedback: ------------------------------------------- Since these components are freeware they are also unsupported. You are welcome to ask for help via email, but I cannot guarantee that I will have time to help you or even reply to your mail. If you absolytely can't live without my help, you can alway try bribing me. You can also try asking for help in the Delphi newsgroups. Since the Drag and Drop Component Suite is in widespread use, there's a good chance another user can help you. I recommend the following newsgroups for issues regarding this library (or COM based Drag/Drop in general): borland.public.delphi.winapi borland.public.delphi.thirdparty-tools borland.public.delphi.oleautomation borland.public.cppbuilder.winapi borland.public.cppbuilder.thirdparty-tools Please choose the most appropiate newsgroup for your question. Do not cross post to them all. Before posting to the newsgroups, I suggest you try to search for an answer on the Google (DejaNews) search engine: http://groups.google.com Chances are that your question has been asked and answered before. If you have suggestions for improvements please mail them to me: anders@melander.dk Please include the words "Drag Drop" in the subject of any email regarding these components. ------------------------------------------- 6. Bug reports: ------------------------------------------- Bugs can either be reported at my home page (http://www.melander.dk/) or mailed directly to me: anders@melander.dk. When reporting a bug, please provide the following information: * The exact version of the Drag and Drop Component Suite you are using. * The exact version of Delphi or C++ Builder you are using. * The name and exact version of your operating system (e.g. NT4 SP5). * The exact version of the Internet Explorer installed on your system. If you can provide me with a minimal application which reproduces the problem, I can almost guarantee that I will be able to fix the problem in very short time. Please supply only the source files (pas, dfm, dpr, dof, res, etc.) and mail them as a single zip file. If I need a compiled version I will ask for it. If you feel you need to send me a screen shot, please send it in GIF or PNG format. If you mail a bug report to me, please include the words "Drag Drop" in the subject of your email. ------------------------------------------- 7. Upgrades and bug fixes: ------------------------------------------- Upgrades can be downloaded from my home page: http://www.melander.dk/delphi/dragdrop/ Bug fixes will also be posted to the above page. If you have registered for update notification via the installation program, you will receive email notification when a new release is available. You will not be notified of bug fixes. You can use the installation program to check for and download new releases and to check for known bugs. Note: If a new release is made available and you are not notified even though you registered for notification, you probably mistyped your email address during installation; About 10% of all registrations supply an invalid email address. ------------------------------------------- 8. Missing in this release: ------------------------------------------- * On-line help has not been updated and included in the kit due to late changes in the Delphi 6 help system and lack of time. If time permits, I will update the help and include it in a future release. ------------------------------------------- 9. New in version 4.x: ------------------------------------------- * Completely redesigned and rewritten. Previous versions of the Drag and Drop Component Suite used a very monolithic design and flat class hierachy which made it a bit cumbersome to extend the existing components or implement new ones. Version 4 is a complete rewrite and redesign, but still maintains compatibility with previous versions. The new V4 design basically separates the library into three layers: 1) Clipboard format I/O. 2) Data format conversion and storage. 3) COM Drag/Drop implementation and VCL component interface. The clipboard format layer is responsible for reading and writing data in different formats to and from an IDataObject interface. For each different clipboard format version 4 implements a specialized class which knows exactly how to interpret the clipboard format. For example the CF_TEXT (plain text) clipboard format is handled by the TTextClipboardFormat class and the CF_FILE (file names) clipboard format is handled by the TFileClipboardFormat class. The data format layer is primarily used to render the different clipboard formats to and from native Delphi data types. For example the TTextDataFormat class represents all text based clipboard formats (e.g. TTextClipboardFormat) as a string while the TFileDataFormat class represents a list of file names (e.g. TFileClipboardFormat) as a string list. The conversion between different data- and clipboard formats is handled by the same Assign/AssignTo mechanism as the VCLs TPersistent employes. This makes it possible to extend existing data formats with support for new clipboard formats without modification to the existing classes. The drag/drop component layer has several tasks; It implements the actual COM drag/drop functionality (i.e. it implements the IDropSource, IDropTarget and IDataObject interfaces (along with several other related interfaces)), it surfaces the data provided by the data format layer as component properties and it handles the interaction between the whole drag/drop framework and the users code. The suite provides a multitude of different components. Most are specialized for different drag/drop tasks (e.g. the TDropFileTarget and TDropFilesSource components for drag/drop of files), but some are either more generic, handling multiple unrelated formats, or simply helper components which are used to extend the existing components or build new ones. * Support for Delphi 6. Version 4.0 was primarily developed on Delphi 6 and then ported back to previous versions of Delphi and C++ Builder. * Support for Windows 2000 inter application drag images. On Windows platforms which supports it, drag images are now displayed when dragging between applications. Currently only Windows 2000 supports this feature. On platforms which doesn't support the feature, drag images are only displayed whithin the source application. * Support for Windows 2000 asynchronous data transfers. Asynchronous data tranfers allows the drop source and targets to perform slow transfers or to transfer large amounts of data without blocking the user interface while the data is being transfered. For platforms other than Windows 2000, the new TDropSourceThread class can be used to provide similar (but more limited) asynchronous data transfer capabilities. * Support for optimized and non-optimized move. When performing drag-move operations, it is now possible to specify if the target (optimized move) or the source (non-optimized move) is responsible for deleting the source files. * Support for delete-on-paste. When data is cut to the clipboard, it is now possible to defer the deletion of the source data until the target actually pastes the data. The source is notified by an event when the target pastes the data. * Extended clipboard support. All formats and components (both source and target) now support clipboard operations (copy/cut/paste) and the VCL clipboard object. * Support for shell drop handlers. The new TDropHandler component can be used to write drop handler shell extensions. A drop handler is a shell extension which is executed when a user drags and drops one or more files on a file associated wth your application. * Support for shell drag drop handlers. The new TDragDropHandler component can be used to write drag drop handler shell extensions. A drag drop handler is a shell extension which can extend the popup menu which is displayed when a user drag and drops files with the right mouse button. * Support for shell context menu handlers. The new TDropContextMenu component can be used to write context menu handler shell extensions. A context menu handler is a shell extension which can extend the popup menu which is displayed when a user right-clicks a file in the shell. * Drop sources can receive data from drop targets. It is now possible for drop targets to write data back to the drop source. This is used to support optimized-move, delete-on-paste and inter application drag images. * Automatic re-registration of targets when the target window handle is recreated. In previous versions, target controls would loose their ability to accept drops when their window handles were recreated by the VCL (e.g. when changing the border style or docking a form). This is no longer a problem. * Support for run-time definition of custom data formats. You can now add support for new clipboard formats without custom components. * Support for design-time extension of existing source and target components. Using the new TDataFormatAdapter component it is now possible to mix and match data formats and source and target components at design time. E.g. the TDropFileTarget component can be extended with URL support. * It is now possible to completely customize the target auto-scroll feature. Auto scroling can now be completely customized via the OnDragEnter, OnDragOver, OnGetDropEffect and OnScroll events and the public NoScrollZone and published AutoScroll properties. * Multiple target controls per drop target component. In previous versions you had to use one drop target component per target control. With version 4, each drop target component can handle any number of target controls. * It is now possible to specify the target control at design time. A published Target property has been added to the drop target components. * Includes 20 components: - TDropFileSource and TDropFileTarget Used for drag and drop of files. Supports recycle bin and PIDLs. - TDropTextSource and TDropTextTarget Used for drag and drop of text. - TDropBMPSource and TDropBMPTarget Used for drag and drop of bitmaps. - TDropPIDLSource and TDropPIDLTarget Used for drag and drop of PIDLs in native format. - TDropURLSource and TDropURLTarget Used for drag and drop of internet shortcuts. - TDropDummyTarget Used to provide drag/drop cursor feedback for controls which aren't registered as drop targets. - TDropComboTarget (new) Swiss-army-knife target. Accepts text, files, bitmaps, meta files, URLs and file contents. - TDropMetaFileTarget (new) Target which can accept meta files and enhanced meta files. - TDropImageTarget (new) Target which can accept bitmaps, DIBs, meta files and enhanced meta files. - TDragDropHandler (new) Used to implement Drag Drop Handler shell extensions. - TDropHandler (new) Used to implement Shell Drop Handler shell extensions. - TDragDropContext (new) Used to implement Shell Context Menu Handler shell extensions. - TDataFormatAdapter (new) Extends the standard source and target components with support for extra data formats. An alternative to TDropComboTarget. - TDropEmptySource and TDropEmptyTarget (new) Target and source components which doesn't support any formats, but can be extended with TDataFormatAdapter components. * Supports 27 standard clipboard formats: Text formats: - CF_TEXT (plain text) - CF_UNICODETEXT (Unicode text) - CF_OEMTEXT (Text in the OEM characterset) - CF_LOCALE (Locale specification) - 'Rich Text Format' (RTF text) - 'CSV' (Tabular spreadsheet text) File formats: - CF_HDROP (list of file names) - CF_FILEGROUPDESCRIPTOR, CF_FILEGROUPDESCRIPTORW and CF_FILECONTENTS (list of files and their attributes and content). - 'Shell IDList Array' (PIDLs) - 'FileName' and 'FileNameW' (single filename, used for 16 bit compatibility). - 'FileNameMap' and 'FileNameMapW' (used to rename files, usually when dragging from the recycle bin) Image formats: - CF_BITMAP (Windows bitmap) - CF_DIB (Device Independant Bitmap) - CF_METAFILEPICT (Windows MetaFile) - CF_ENHMETAFILE (Enhanced Metafile) - CF_PALETTE (Bitmap palette) Internet formats: - 'UniformResourceLocator' and 'UniformResourceLocatorW' (Internet shortcut) - 'Netscape Bookmark' (Netscape bookmark/URL) - 'Netscape Image Format' (Netscape image/URL) - '+//ISBN 1-887687-00-9::versit::PDI//vCard' (V-Card) - 'HTML Format' (HTML text) - 'Internet Message (rfc822/rfc1522)' (E-mail message in RFC822 format) Misc. formats: - CF_PREFERREDDROPEFFECT and CF_PASTESUCCEEDED (mostly used by clipboard) - CF_PERFORMEDDROPEFFECT and CF_LOGICALPERFORMEDDROPEFFECT (mostly used for optimized-move) - 'InShellDragLoop' (used by Windows shell) - 'TargetCLSID' (Mostly used when dragging to recycle-bin) * New source events: - OnGetData: Fired when the target requests data. - OnSetData: Fired when the target writes data back to the source. - OnPaste: Fired when the target pastes data which the source has placed on the clipboard. - OnAfterDrop: Fired after the drag/drop operation has completed. * New target events: - OnScroll: Fires when the target component is about to perform auto-scroll on the target control. - OnAcceptFormat: Fires when the target component needs to determine if it will accept a given data format. Only surfaced in the TDropComboTarget component. * 8 new demo applications, 19 in total. ------------------------------------------- 10. TODO (may or may not be implemented): ------------------------------------------- * Async target demo (with and without IAsyncOperation support). * Scrap file demo. * Native Outlook message format. * Structured storage support (IStorage encapsulation). ------------------------------------------- 11.

Version 4 release history: ------------------------------------------- 16-dec-2001 * Ported to C++ Builder 4. * Released for test as v4.1 FT5. 12-dec-2001 * Fixed C++ Builder name clash between TDropComboTarget.GetMetaFile and the GetMetaFile #define in wingdi.h 1-dec-2001 * The IAsyncOperation interface is now also declared as IAsyncOperation2 and all references to IAsyncOperation has been replaced with IAsyncOperation2. This was done to work around a bug in C++ Builder. Thanks to Jonathan Arnold for all his help with getting the components to work with C++ Builder. Without Jonathan's help version 4.1 would prabably have shipped witout C++ Builder support and certainly without any C++ Builder demos. * Demo applications for C++ Builder. The C++ Builder demos were contributed by Jonathan Arnold. 27-nov-2001 * TCustomDropTarget.Droptypes property renamed to DropTypes (notice the case). Thanks to Krystian Brazulewicz for spotting this. 24-nov-2001 * The GetURLFromString function in the DragDropInternet unit has been made public due to user request. 21-nov-2001 * Modified MakeHTML function to comply with Microsoft's description of the CF_HTML clipboard format. * Added MakeTextFromHTML function to convert CF_HTML data to plain HTML. Provides the reverse functionality of MakeHTML. * Added HTML support to TTextDataFormat class and TDropTextSource and TDropTextTarget components. * Fixed C++ Builder 5 problem with IAsyncOperation. * Released for test as v4.1 FT4. 10-nov-2001 * Added NetscapeDemo demo application. Demonstrates how to receive messages dropped from Netscape. This demo was sponsored by ThoughtShare Communications Inc. * Released for test as v4.1 FT3. 23-oct-2001 * Conversion priority of TURLDataFormat has been changed to give the File Group Descritor formats priority over the Internet Shortcut format. This resolves a problem where dropping an URL on the desktop would cause the desktop to assume that an Active Desktop item was to be created instead of an Internet Shortcut. Thanks to Allen Martin for reporting this problem. By luck this modification also happens to work around a bug in Mozilla and Netscape 6; Mozilla incorrectly supplies the UniformResourceLocator clipboard format in unicode format instead of ANSI format. Thanks to Florian Kusche for reporting this problem. * Added support for TFileGroupDescritorWClipboardFormat to TURLDataFormat. * Added declaration of FD_PROGRESSUI to DragDropFormats. * Added TURLWClipboardFormat which implements the "UniformResourceLocatorW" (a.k.a. CFSTR_INETURLW) clipboard format. Basically a Unicode version of CFSTR_SHELLURL/CFSTR_INETURL. The TURLWClipboardFormat class isn't used anywhere yet but will probably be supported by TURLDataFormat (and thus TDropURLTarget/TDropURLSource) in a later release. * Added experimental Shell Drag Image support. This relies on undodumented shell32.dll functions and probably won't be fully support before v4.2 (if ever). See InitShellDragImage in DropSource.pas. Thanks to Jim Kueneman for bringning these functions to my attention. 13-oct-2001 * TCustomDropSource.Destroy and TCustomDropMultiSource.Destroy changed to call FlushClipboard instead of EmptyClipboard. This means that clipboard contents will be preserved when the source application/component is terminated. * Added clipboard support to VirtualFileStream demo. * Modified VirtualFileStream demo to work around clipboard quirk with IStream medium. * Modified TCustomSimpleClipboardFormat to disable TYMED_ISTORAGE support by default. At present TYMED_ISTORAGE is only supported for drop targets and enabling it by default in TCustomSimpleClipboardFormat.Create caused a lot of clipboard operations (e.g. copy/paste of text) to fail. Thanks to Michael J Marshall for bringing this problem to my attention. * Modified TCustomSimpleClipboardFormat to read from the the TYMED_ISTREAM medium in small (1Mb) chunks and via a global memory buffer. This has resultet in a huge performance gain (several orders of magnitude) when transferring large amounts of data via the TYMED_ISTREAM medium. 3-oct-2001 * Fixed bug in TCustomDropSource.SetImageIndex. Thanks to Maxim Abramovich for spotting this. * Added missing default property values to TCustomDropSource. Thanks to Maxim Abramovich for spotting this. * DragDrop.pas and DragDropContext.pas updated for Delphi 4. * Reimplemented utility to convert DFM form files from Delphi 5/6 test format to Delphi 4/5 binary format. * Improved unregistration of Shell Extensions. Shell extension now completely (and safely) remove their registry entries when unregistered. * Deprecated support for C++ Builder 3. * Released for test as v4.1 FT2. 25-sep-2001 * Rewritten ContextMenuHandlerShellExt demo. The demo is now actually a quite useful utility which can be used to register and unregister ActiveX controls, COM servers and type libraries. It includes the same functionality as Borland's TRegSvr utility. 20-sep-2001 * Added support for cascading menus, ownerdraw and menu bitmaps to TDropContextMenu component. * Modified TFileContentsStreamOnDemandClipboardFormat to handle invalid parameter value (FormatEtcIn.lindex) when data is copied to clipboard. This works around an apparent bug in the Windows clipboard. Thanks to Steve Moss for reporting this problem. * Modified TEnumFormatEtc class to not enumerate empty clipboard formats. Thanks to Steve Moss for this improvement. 1-sep-2001 * Introduced TCustomDropTarget.AutoRegister property. The AutoRegister property is used to control if drop target controls should be automatically unregistered and reregistered when their window handle is recreated by the VCL. If AutoRegister is True, which is the default, then automatic reregistration will be performed. This property was introduced because the hidden child control, which is used to monitor the drop target control's window handle, can have unwanted side effects on the drop target control (e.g. TToolBar). * Deprecated support for Delphi 3. 22-jun-2001 * Redesigned TTextDataFormat to handle RTF, Unicode, CSV and OEM text without conversion. Moved TTextDataFormat class to DragDropText unit. Added support for TLocaleClipboardFormat. * Surfaced new text formats as properties in TDropTextSource and TDropTextTarget. Previous versions of the Text source and target components represented all supported text formats via the Text property. In order to enable users to handle the different text formats independantly, the text source and target components now has individual properties for ANSI, OEM, Unicode and RTF text formats. The text target component can automatically synthesize some of the formats from the others (e.g. OEM text from ANSI text), but applications which previously relied on all formats being represented by the Text property will have to be modified to handle the new properties. * Added work around for problem where TToolBar as a drop target would display the invisible target proxy window. * Fixed wide string bug in WriteFilesToZeroList. Thanks to Werner Lehmann for spotting this. 15-jun-2001 * Added work-around for Outlook Express IDataObject.QueryGetData quirk. 3-jun-2001 * Ported to C++ Builder 4 and 5. * Added missing DragDropDesign.pas unit to design time packages. * First attempt at C++ Builder 3 port.... failed. * Improved handling of oversized File Group Descriptor data. * Added support for IStorage medium to TFileContentsStreamClipboardFormat. This allows the TDropComboTarget component to accept messages dropped from Microsoft Outlook. This work was sponsored by ThoughtShare Communications Inc. 23-may-2001 * Ported to Delphi 4. * First attempt at C++ Builder 5 port.... failed. 18-may-2001 * Released as version 4.0. Note: Version 4.0 was released exclusively on the Delphi 6 Companion CD. * ContextMenuDemo and DropHandlerDemo application has been partially rewritten and renamed. ContextMenuDemo is now named ContextMenuHandlerShellExt. DropHandlerDemo is now named DropHandlerShellExt. * TDropContextMenu component has been rewitten. The TDropContextMenu now implements a context menu handler shell extension. In previous releases it implemented a drag drop handler shell extension. * The DragDropHandler.pas unit which implements the TDropHandler component has been renamed to DropHandler.pas. * Added new TDragDropHandler component. The new component, which lives in the DragDropHandler unit, is used to implement drag drop handler shell extensions. * Added DragDropHandlerShellExt demo application. * Removed misc incomplete demos from kit. * Fixed minor problem in VirtualFileStream demo which caused drops from the VirtualFile demo not to transfer content correctly. 11-may-2001 * Converted all demo forms to text DFM format. This has been nescessary to maintain compatibility between all supported versions of Delphi. * Fixed a bug in GetPIDLsFromFilenames which caused drag-link of files (dtLink with TDropFileSource) not to work. * Added readme.txt files to some demo applications. * Added missing tlb and C++ Builder files to install kit. * Released as FT4. 6-may-2001 * Added missing dfm files to install kit. * Tested with Delphi 5. Fixed Delphi 5 compatibility error in main.dfm of DragDropDemo. * Removed misc compiler warnings. * The AsyncTransferTarget and OleObjectDemo demos were incomplete and has been removed from the kit for the V4.0 release. The demos will be included in a future release. * Released as FT3. 3-may-2001 * Added missing dpr and bpg files to install kit. * Updated readme.txt with regard to lack of C++ Builder demos. * Released as FT2. 29-apr-2001 * Cleaned up for release. * Released as FT1. 23-feb-2001 * Modified TCustomDropTarget.FindTarget to handle overlapping targets (e.g. different targets at the same position but on different pages of a page control or notebook). Thanks to Roger Moe for spotting this problem. 13-feb-2001 * Renamed AsyncTransfer2 demo to AsyncTransferSource. * Added AsyncTransferTarget demo. * Replaced TChart in AsyncTransfer2 demo with homegrown pie-chart-thing. * Modified all IStream based target formats to support incremental transfer. * URW533 problem has finally been fixed. The cause of the problem, which is a bug in Delphi, was found by Stefan Hoffmeister. * Fixed free notification for TDropContextmenu and TDataFormatAdapter. 27-dec-2000 * Moved TVirtualFileStreamDataFormat and TFileContentsStreamOnDemandClipboardFormat classes from VirtualFileStream demo to DragDropFormats unit. * Added TClipboardFormat.DataFormat and TClipboardFormats.DataFormat property. * Added TDropEmptySource and TDropEmptyTarget components. These are basically do-nothing components for use with TDataFormatAdapter. * Rewritten AsyncTransfer2 demo. The demo now uses TDropEmptySource, TDataFormatAdapter and TVirtualFileStreamDataFormat to transfer 10Mb of data with progress feedback. * Rewritten VirtualFileStream demo. The demo now uses TDropEmptySource, TDropEmptyTarget, TDataFormatAdapter and TVirtualFileStreamDataFormat. * Fixed memory leak in TVirtualFileStreamDataFormat. This leak only affected the old VirtualFileStream demo. * Added support for full File Descriptor attribute set to TVirtualFileStreamDataFormat. It is now possible to specify file attributes such as file size and last modified time in addition to the filename. I plan to add similar features to the other classes which uses FileDescriptors (e.g. TDropFileSource and TDropFileTarget). 21-dec-2000 * Ported to Delphi 4. * Added workaround for design bug in either Explorer or the clipboard. Explorer and the clipboard's requirements to the cursor position of an IStream object are incompatible. Explorer requires the cursor to be at the beginning of stream and the clipboard requires the cursor to be at the end of stream. 15-dec-2000 * Fixed URW533 problem. I'll leave the description of the workaround in here for now in case the problem resurfaces. 11-dec-2000 * Fixed bug in filename to PIDL conversion (GetPIDLsFromFilenames) which affected TDropFileTarget. Thanks to Poul Halgaard J鴕gensen for reporting this. 4-dec-2000 * Added THTMLDataFormat. * Fixed a a few small bugs which affected clipboard operations. * Added {$ALIGN ON} to dragdrop.inc. Apparently COM drag/drop requires some structures to be word alligned. This change fixes problems where some of the demos would suddenly stop working. * The URW533 problem has resurfaced. See the "Known problems" section below. 13-nov-2000 * TCopyPasteDataFormat has been renamed to TFeedbackDataFormat. * Added support for the Windows 2000 "TargetCLSID" format with the TTargetCLSIDClipboardFormat class and the TCustomDropSource.TargetCLSID property. * Added support for the "Logical Performed DropEffect" format with the TLogicalPerformedDropEffectClipboardFormat class. The class is used internally by TCustomDropSource. 30-oct-2000 * Added ContextMenu demo and TDropContextMenu component. Demonstrates how to customize the context menu which is displayed when a file is dragged with the right mouse button and dropped in the shell. * Added TCustomDataFormat.GetData. With the introduction of the GetData method, Data Format classes can now be used stand-alone to extract data from an IDataObject. 20-oct-2000 * Added VirtualFileStream demo. Demonstrates how to use the "File Contents" and "File Group Descritor" clipboard formats to drag and drop virtual files (files which doesn't exist physically) and transfer the data on-demand via a stream. 14-oct-2000 * Added special drop target registration of TCustomRichEdit controls. TCustomRichEdit needs special attention because it implements its own drop target handling which prevents it to work with these components. TCustomDropTarget now disables a rich edit control's built in drag/drop handling when the control is registered as a drop target. * Added work around for Windows bug where IDropTarget.DragOver is called regardless that the drop has been rejected in IDropTarget.DragEnter. 12-oct-2000 * Fixed bug that caused docking to interfere with drop targets. Thanks to G. Bradley MacDonald for bringing the problem to my attention. 30-sep-2000 * The DataFormats property has been made public in the TCustomDropMultiTarget class. * Added VirtualFile demo. Demonstrates how to use the TFileContentsClipboardFormat and TFileGroupDescritorClipboardFormat formats to drag and drop a virtual file (a file which doesn't exist physically). 28-sep-2000 * Improved drop source detection of optimized move. When an optimized move is performed by a drop target, the drop source's Execute method will now return drDropMove. Previously drCancel was returned. The OnAfterDrop event must still be used to determine if a move operation were optimized or not. * Modified TCustomDropTarget.GetPreferredDropEffect to get data from the current IDataObject instead of from the VCL global clipboard. 18-sep-2000 * Fixed bug in DropComboTarget caused by the 17-sep-2000 TStreams modification. 17-sep-2000 * Added AsyncTransfer2 demo to demonstrate use of TDropSourceThread. * Renamed TStreams class to TStreamList. 29-aug-2000 * Added TDropSourceThread. TDropSourceThread is an alternative to Windows 2000 asynchronous data transfers but also works on other platforms than Windows 2000. TDropSourceThread is based on code contributed by E. J. Molendijk. 24-aug-2000 * Added support for Windows 2000 asynchronous data transfers. Added IAsyncOperation implementation to TCustomDropSource. Added TCustomDropSource.AllowAsyncTransfer and AsyncTransfer properties. 5-aug-2000 * Added work around for URW533 compiler bug. * Fixed D4 and D5 packages and updated a few demos. Obsolete DropMultiTarget were still referenced a few places. * Documented work around for C++ Builder 5 compiler error. See the Known Problems section later in this document for more information. 2-aug-2000 * The package files provided in the kit is now design-time only packages. In previous versions, the packages could be used both at design- and run-time. The change was nescessary because the package now contains design-time code. * Added possible work around for suspected C++ Builder bug. The bug manifests itself as a "Overloadable operator expected" compile time error. See the "Known problems" section of this document. * Rewrote CustomFormat1 demo. * Added CustomFormat2 demo. * TDataDirection members has been renamed from ddGet and ddSet to ddRead and ddWrite. * All File Group Descritor and File Contents clipboard formats has been moved from the DragDropFile unit to the DragDropFormats unit. * File Contents support has been added to TTextDataFormat. The support is currently only enabled for drop sources. * Renamed TDropMultiTarget component to TDropComboTarget. Note: This will break applications which uses the TDropMultiTarget component. You can use the following technique to port application from previous releases: 1) Install the new components. 2) Repeat step 3-8 for all units which uses the TDropMultiTarget component. 3) Make a backup of the unit (both pas and dfm file) just in case... 4) Open the unit in the IDE. 5) In the .pas file, replace all occurances of "TDropMultiTarget" with "TDropComboTarget". 6) View the form as text. 7) Replace all occurances of "TDropMultiTarget" with "TDropComboTarget". 8) Save the unit. * Renamed a lot of demo files and directories. * Added work around for yet another bug in TStreamAdapter. * Added TCustomStringClipboardFormat as new base class for TCustomTextClipboardFormat. This changes the class hierachy a bit for classes which previously descended from TCustomTextClipboardFormat: All formats which needs zero termination now descend from TCustomTextClipboardFormat and the rest descend from TCustomStringClipboardFormat. Added TrimZeroes property. Fixed zero termination bug in TCustomTextClipboardFormat and generally improved handling of zero terminated strings. Disabled zero trim in TCustomStringClipboardFormat and enabled it in TCustomTextClipboardFormat. 23-jul-2000 * Improved handling of long file names in DropHandler demo. Added work around for ParamStr bug. * Added TDataFormatAdapter component and adapter demo. TDataFormatAdapter is used to extend the existing source and target components with additional data format support without modifying them. It can be considered an dynamic alternative to the current TDropMultiTarget component. 17-jul-2000 * TDropHandler component and DropHandler demo fully functional. 14-jul-2000 * Tested with C++ Builder 5. * Fixed sporadic integer overflow bug in DragDetectPlus function. * Added shell drop handler support with TDropHandler component. This is a work in progress and is not yet functional. 1-jul-2000 * Tested with Delphi 4. * Support for Windows 2000 inter application drag images. * TRawClipboardFormat and TRawDataFormat classes for support of arbitrary unknown clipboard formats. The classes are used internally in the TCustomDropSource.SetData method to support W2K drag images.

TDBGridEh component TDBGridEh provides all functionality of TDBGrid and adds several new features as follows: Allows to select records, columns and rectangle areas. Special titles that can correspond to several/all columns. Footer that is able to show sum/count/other field values. Automatic column resizing to set grid width equal client width. Ability to change row and title height. Allows automatic broken of a single line long title and data row to a multiline. Title can act as button and, optionally show a sort marker. Automatically sortmarking. Ability to truncate long text with ellipsis. Lookup list can show several fields. Incremental search in lookup fields. Frozen columns. DateTime picker support for TDateField and TDateTimeField. Allows to show bitmaps from TImageList depending on field value. Allows to hide and track horizontal or vertical scrollbars. Allows to hide columns. Allows to show 3D frame for frozen, footer and data rows. Allows to draw memo fields. Multiline inplace editor. Proportional scrolling independently of sequenced of dataset. Automatically show checkboxes for Boolean fields. Allows to show checkboxes for other type of fields. Has a procedures to save and restore layout (visible columns, columns order, columns width, sortmarkers, row height) in/from registry or ini file. Allows to show hint (ToolTips) for text that don't fit in the cell. Allows to export data to Text, Csv, HTML, RTF, XLS and internal formats. Allows to import data from Text and internal formats. Can sort data in various dataset's. Can filter data in various dataset's. When DBGridEh is connected to DataSet of TMemTable type it allows: To view all data without moving active record. To display a tree-type structure of TMemTable records. To form list of values in dropdown list of SubTitle filter automatically. To create grouping records basing on the selected coulmns. TDBVertGridEh component Component to show one record from dataset in Vertical Orientation. Have a special column to show Field Captions Can customize inplace editor and data of the cell like in DBGridEh. TDBLookupComboboxEh component Provides all functionality of TDBLookupCombobox and adds several new features as follows: Can have flat style. Allows assign values as to KeyValue property just and to display Text property. Allows to type (assign) values to Text property not contained in data list (Style = csDropDownEh). Allows to hold KeyValue and Text as not affecting to each other values. Take effect when KeyField, ListField, ListSource, DataField and DataSource properties is empty. Drop down list can: Show titles, Have sizing grip, Automaticaly set width as sum of DisplayWidth of the list fields (Width = -1), Automaticaly drops on user pressed the key. Edit button can: Show DropDown, Ellipsis or Bitmap image. Have specified width. Have additional events: OnKeyValueChanged, OnButtonClick. TDBSumList component This component is intended for totaling sums and amounts of records in a TDataSet with dynamic changes. Component keeps a list of TDBSum objects, which contains types of group operations (goSum or goCount) and name sum field (goCount name of field is unnecessary). TPrintDBGridEh component TPrintDBGridEh provides properties and routines for preview and print of TDBGridEh component with several features: Ability to expand rows vertically until all text is printed. Ability to scale grid to fit it to page width. Ability to print/preview title for grid. Ability to print/preview page header and page footer where you can specify macros for current page, current date, current time and/or static text. Automatically print/preview multiselected area of TDBGridEh if it area is not empty. Ability to print/preview rich text before and after grid. TPreviewBox component TPreviewBox lets you create a customizable runtime preview. TPrinterPreview object TPrinterPreview lets you to record printable data in buffer for following output them on screen and to printer. TPrinterPreview have all functions and properties as in TPrinter object. You can use TPrinterPreview object similarly of TPrinter except some details. In TPrinter Printer.Canvas.Handle and Printer.Handle is the same but in TPrinterPreview PrinterPreview.Canvas.Handle represent the metafile in that is recored the data and PrinterPreview.Handle represent Printer.Handle. That is mean that you have to use PrinterPreview.Canvas.Handle for draw operation (DrawText, DrawTexteEx, e.t.c.) and use PrinterPreview.Handle in functions that return information about printer facilities (GetDeviceCaps, e.t.c.). Global function PrinterPreview returns default PrinterPreview object and shows data in default preview form. TDBEditEh component represents a single or multi-line edit control that can display and edit a field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware edit control. TDBDateTimeEditEh component represents a single-line date or time edit control that can display and edit a datetime field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware edit control. TDBComboBoxEh component represents a single or multi-line edit control that combines an edit box with a scrollable list and can display and edit a field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware combo edit control. TDBNumberEditEh component represents a single-line number edit control that can display and edit a numeric field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware edit control. TPropStorageEh, TIniPropStorageManEh, TRegPropStorageManEh components Components realize technology to store component properties to/from settings storage such as ini files, registry etc. TMemTableEh component dataset, which hold data in memory. Its possible consider as an array of records. Besides, it: Supports a special interface, which allows DBGridEh component to view all data without moving active record. Allows fetch data from TDataDriverEh object (DataDriver property). Allows unload change back in DataDriver, operative or postponed (in dependencies of the CachedUpdates property). Allows to create a master/detail relations on the client (filtering record) or on the external source (updating parameters [Params] and requiring data from DataDriver). Allows once-only (without the dynamic support) sort data, including Calculated and Lookup field. Allows create and fill data in design-time and save data in dfm file of the Form. Allows keep record in the manner of trees. Each record can have record elements-branches and itself be an element to other parental record. Component TDBGridEh supports to show the tree-type structure of these records. Allows to connect to the internal array of other TMemTableEh (via ExternalMemData property) and work with its data: sort, filter, edit. Has interface for requesting list of all unique values in one column of records array, ignoring local filter of the DataSet. TDBGridEh uses this property for automatic filling a list in DropDownBox of the subtitle filter cell. TDataDriverEh component carry out two tasks: Delivers data to TMemTableEh. Processes changed records of TMemTableEh (writes them in other dataset, or call events for processing the changes in program). TSQLDataDriverEh DataDriver that have four objects of the TSQLCommandEh type: SelectCommand, DeleteCommand, InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, GetrecCommand. TSQLDataDriverEh can not transfer queries to the server but it call global (for application) event which it is necessary to write to execute SQL expressions on the server. TBDEDataDriverEh, TIBXDataDriverEh, TDBXDataDriverEh and TADODataDriverEh Components. These are SQLDataDrivers that can deliver queries to the server using corresponding drivers of the access to datas. -------------------- 2. Installation Library -------------------- -------------------- 2.1 Installing library automatically -------------------- Run EhLibInstaller.exe program from "Installer" folder to install EhLib in Delphi/C++ Builder IDE. The program creates folders to keep EhLib binary and other requared files, copies requared files to created folders, compiles packages, register packages in IDE and write requared paths in registry. If you have executable installation program (for example, EhLibSetupD7Eval.exe) then you only need to run program and follow installation process. Setup automatically writes all units in necessary directory, installs packages and help files in IDE. -------------------- 2.2 Installing library manually ------------------- Follow next instructions to install files from EhLib archive: -- 2.2.1. For RAD Studio XE2 (Delphi) or higher: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Uninstall previous or evaluation version of EhLib (Old version) from Delphi IDE. Remove or copy to other directory files of old version to prevent crossing old and new version of EhLib (Including EhLib.bpl, EhLib.dcp or EhLibXX.bpl, EhLibXX.dcp, EhLibDataDriversXX, DclEhLibDataDriversXX files). These files can be located in the following folders on your computer C:\Users\All Users\Documents\RAD Studio\1X.0 C:\Users\All Users\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\XX.0\Bpl C:\Users\All Users\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\XX.0\Dcp Create new folder where source code and binary files will be kept (For example, C:\RAD_Studio_XE2\Components\EhLib). Hereinafter this folder will be call as "EhLib folder". Create new subfolder "Lib" in the "EhLib folder". Copy files from folders "Common", "RADStudioXE2" and "LangResources\Res" of EhLib archive into the folder "[EhLib folder]\Lib" as that all files were in one folder - "Lib". Default language resource of the library is English. If you want to change it to the other language do the next steps: - Select one of language file EhLibLangConsts.XXX.dfm - Copy this file to EhLibLangConsts.dfm file (with replacment of existing file) - In the first line of a new EhLibLangConsts.dfm file delete _XXX suffix in the name of object like this: object TEhLibLanguageConsts_ENU -> object TEhLibLanguageConsts Run RAD Studio IDE and Open EhLibProjGroup160.groupproj file from [EhLib folder]\Lib. Compile all packages of Prject Group. Install DclEhLibXX.Dpk and DclEhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk packages in IDE (Use Project/Install menu). Consistently compile packages EhLibXX.Dpk and EhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk in next modes: Win32\Debug Win64\Release Win64\Debug After compilation there should be created subfolders a Win32\Release, Win32\Debug, Win64\Release, Win64\Debug in the "[EhLib folder]\Lib" folder. Copy the *. dfm and *. res files from the "[Folder EhLib]\Lib" folder into the each of the next folders: Win32\Release, Win32\Debug, Win64\Release, Win64\Debug In the RAD Studio IDE add next paths: "[EhLib folder]\Lib\Win32\Release" path in the "Library path" for the Win32 platform. "[EhLib folder]\Lib\Win32\Debug" path in the "Debug dcu" for the Win32 platform. "[EhLib folder]\Lib\" path in the "Brasing path" for the Win32 platform. "[EhLib folder]\Lib\Win64\Release" path in the "Library path" for the Win64 platform. "[EhLib folder]\Lib\Win64\Debug" path in the "Debug dcu" for the Win64 platform. "[EhLib folder]\Lib\" path in the "Brasing path" for the Win64 platform. -- Copy DEMOS folder from the Archive EhLib to the "[EhLib Folder]". Open and compile any demo project for test. 2.2.2. Delphi 5.x - 7.x, Delphi 9.X Win32, BDS2006 Win32, Delphi2007, CodeGear RAD Studio 2009: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uninstall previous or evaluation version of EhLib (Old version) from Delphi IDE. Remove or copy to other directory files of old version to prevent crossing old and new version of EhLib (Including EhLib.bpl, EhLib.dcp or EhLibXX.bpl, EhLibXX.dcp, EhLibDataDriversXX, DclEhLibDataDriversXX files). Create directory from which you will install EhLib library ('EhLib directory') (for example, C:\Delphi[X]\EhLib). Copy files from "Common", "Delphi[X]" | "BDS2006" and "LangResources\Res.Ansi" folders of the EhLib archive to 'EhLib directory'. Default language resource of the library is English. If you want to change it to the other language do the next steps: - Select one of language file EhLibLangConsts.XXX.dfm - Copy this file to EhLibLangConsts.dfm file (with replacment of existing file) - In the first line of a new EhLibLangConsts.dfm file delete _XXX suffix in the name of object like this: object TEhLibLanguageConsts_ENU -> object TEhLibLanguageConsts By default Delphi (5, 6 and 7) places compiled files to the <Delphi path>\Projects\Bpl directory and this directory already present in the search PATH. But if you overwrite default BPL directory then you need put compiled EhLibXX.BPL file into directory that is accessible through the search PATH (i.e. DOS "PATH" environment variable; for example, in the Windows\System directory). Add, (if needed) 'EhLib directory' in Tools->Environment Options->Library-> Library Path (For Delphi 9 in Tools->Options->Environment Options-> Delphi Options->Library - Win32->Library Path). Use "File\Open..." menu item of Delphi IDE to open the runtime package - EhLibXX.Dpk. In "Package..." window click "Compile" button to compile the package. After that open and compile EhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk. After compiling run-time packages install design-time packages DclEhLibXX.BPL and DclEhLibDataDriversXX.BPL into the IDE. For that use "File\Open..." menu item to open design-time package DclEhLibXX.Dpk. In "Package..." window click "Compile" button to compile the package and then click "Install" button to register EhLib components on the component palette. Open and install DclEhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk package. EhLib components have to appear on 'EhLib' page of components palette. 2.2.4. Delphi 9.X Vcl.Net, , BDS2006 Vcl.Net: ---------------------------------------- Uninstall previous or evaluation version of EhLib (Old version) from Delphi IDE. Remove or copy to other directory files of old version to prevent crossing old and new version of EhLib (Including Vcl.EhLib90.dll, Vcl.DclEhLib90.dll, Vcl.EhLibDataDrivers90.dll, Vcl.DclEhLibDataDrivers90.dll files). Create directory from which you will install EhLib library ('EhLib directory') (for example, C:\BDS\3.0\EhLibVclNet). Copy files from Common and Delphi9 directories of the EhLib archive to 'EhLib directory'. In Delphi IDE: Add, (if needed) 'EhLib directory' in Component->Installed .NET Components ...-> Assembly Search Paths. Add, (if needed) 'EhLib directory' in Tools->Options->Environment Options-> Delphi Options->Library - NET->Library Path. Use "File\Open..." menu item of Delphi IDE to open the runtime package - Vcl.EhLibXX.Dpk. In "Project Manager..." window, click right button above 'Vcl.EhLibXX.Dll' and select "Build" menu to compile package. After that, open and compile Vcl.EhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk, Vcl.DclEhLibXX.Dpk and Vcl.DclEhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk. Open menu "Component->Installed .NET Components ..."->.NET VCL Components. Press 'Add...' button. Locate 'Vcl.DclEhLibXX.dll' and press 'Open'. (By default, this file have to be located in 'EhLib directory' directory) Press 'Ok' in 'Installed .NET Components' Dialog. 4.

TDBEditEh component represents a single or multi-line edit control that can display and edit a field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware edit control. TDBDateTimeEditEh component represents a single-line date or time edit control that can display and edit a datetime field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware edit control. TDBComboBoxEh component represents a single or multi-line edit control that combines an edit box with a scrollable list and can display and edit a field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware combo edit control. TDBNumberEditEh component represents a single-line number edit control that can display and edit a numeric field in a dataset or can works as non data-aware edit control. TPropStorageEh, TIniPropStorageManEh, TRegPropStorageManEh components Components realize technology to store component properties to/from settings storage such as ini files, registry etc. TMemTableEh component dataset, which hold data in memory. Its possible consider as an array of records. Besides, it: Supports a special interface, which allows DBGridEh component to view all data without moving active record. Allows fetch data from TDataDriverEh object (DataDriver property). Allows unload change back in DataDriver, operative or postponed (in dependencies of the CachedUpdates property). Allows to create a master/detail relations on the client (filtering record) or on the external source (updating parameters [Params] and requiring data from DataDriver). Allows once-only (without the dynamic support) sort data, including Calculated and Lookup field. Allows create and fill data in design-time and save data in dfm file of the Form. Allows keep record in the manner of trees. Each record can have record elements-branches and itself be an element to other parental record. Component TDBGridEh supports to show the tree-type structure of these records. Allows to connect to the internal array of other TMemTableEh (via ExternalMemData property) and work with its data: sort, filter, edit. Has interface for requesting list of all unique values in one column of records array, ignoring local filter of the DataSet. TDBGridEh uses this property for automatic filling a list in DropDownBox of the subtitle filter cell. TDataDriverEh component carry out two tasks: Delivers data to TMemTableEh. Processes changed records of TMemTableEh (writes them in other dataset, or call events for processing the changes in program). TSQLDataDriverEh DataDriver that have four objects of the TSQLCommandEh type: SelectCommand, DeleteCommand, InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, GetrecCommand. TSQLDataDriverEh can not transfer queries to the server but it call global (for application) event which it is necessary to write to execute SQL expressions on the server. TBDEDataDriverEh, TIBXDataDriverEh, TDBXDataDriverEh and TADODataDriverEh Components. These are SQLDataDrivers that can deliver queries to the server using corresponding drivers of the access to datas. -------------------- 2. Installation Library -------------------- -------------------- 2.1 Installing library automatically -------------------- Run EhLibInstaller.exe program from "Installer" folder to install EhLib in Delphi/C++ Builder IDE. The program creates folders to keep EhLib binary and other requared files, copies requared files to created folders, compiles packages, register packages in IDE and write requared paths in registry. If you have executable installation program (for example, EhLibSetupD7Eval.exe) then you only need to run program and follow installation process. Setup automatically writes all units in necessary directory, installs packages and help files in IDE. -------------------- 2.2 Installing library manually ------------------- Follow next instructions to install files from EhLib archive: -- 2.2.1. For RAD Studio XE2 (Delphi) or higher: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Uninstall previous or evaluation version of EhLib (Old version) from Delphi IDE. Remove or copy to other directory files of old version to prevent crossing old and new version of EhLib (Including EhLib.bpl, EhLib.dcp or EhLibXX.bpl, EhLibXX.dcp, EhLibDataDriversXX, DclEhLibDataDriversXX files). These files can be located in the following folders on your computer C:\Users\All Users\Documents\RAD Studio\1X.0 C:\Users\All Users\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\XX.0\Bpl C:\Users\All Users\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\XX.0\Dcp Create new folder where source code and binary files will be kept (For example, C:\RAD_Studio_XE2\Components\EhLib). Hereinafter this folder will be call as "EhLib folder". Create new subfolder "Lib" in the "EhLib folder". Copy files from folders "Common", "RADStudioXE2" and "LangResources\Res" of EhLib archive into the folder "[EhLib folder]\Lib" as that all files were in one folder - "Lib". Default language resource of the library is English. If you want to change it to the other language do the next steps: - Select one of language file EhLibLangConsts.XXX.dfm - Copy this file to EhLibLangConsts.dfm file (with replacment of existing file) - In the first line of a new EhLibLangConsts.dfm file delete _XXX suffix in the name of object like this: object TEhLibLanguageConsts_ENU -> object TEhLibLanguageConsts Run RAD Studio IDE and Open EhLibProjGroup160.groupproj file from [EhLib folder]\Lib. Compile all packages of Prject Group. Install DclEhLibXX.Dpk and DclEhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk packages in IDE (Use Project/Install menu). Consistently compile packages EhLibXX.Dpk and EhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk in next modes: Win32\Debug Win64\Release Win64\Debug After compilation there should be created subfolders a Win32\Release, Win32\Debug, Win64\Release, Win64\Debug in the "[EhLib folder]\Lib" folder. Copy the *. dfm and *. res files from the "[Folder EhLib]\Lib" folder into the each of the next folders: Win32\Release, Win32\Debug, Win64\Release, Win64\Debug In the RAD Studio IDE add next paths: "[EhLib folder]\Lib\Win32\Release" path in the "Library path" for the Win32 platform. "[EhLib folder]\Lib\Win32\Debug" path in the "Debug dcu" for the Win32 platform. "[EhLib folder]\Lib\" path in the "Browsing path" for the Win32 platform. "[EhLib folder]\Lib\Win64\Release" path in the "Library path" for the Win64 platform. "[EhLib folder]\Lib\Win64\Debug" path in the "Debug dcu" for the Win64 platform. "[EhLib folder]\Lib\" path in the "Browsing path" for the Win64 platform. -- Copy DEMOS folder from the Archive EhLib to the "[EhLib Folder]". Open and compile any demo project for test. 2.2.2. Delphi 5.x - 7.x, Delphi 9.X Win32, BDS2006 Win32, Delphi2007, CodeGear RAD Studio 2009: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uninstall previous or evaluation version of EhLib (Old version) from Delphi IDE. Remove or copy to other directory files of old version to prevent crossing old and new version of EhLib (Including EhLib.bpl, EhLib.dcp or EhLibXX.bpl, EhLibXX.dcp, EhLibDataDriversXX, DclEhLibDataDriversXX files). Create directory from which you will install EhLib library ('EhLib directory') (for example, C:\Delphi[X]\EhLib). Copy files from "Common", "Delphi[X]" | "BDS2006" and "LangResources\Res.Ansi" folders of the EhLib archive to 'EhLib directory'. Default language resource of the library is English. If you want to change it to the other language do the next steps: - Select one of language file EhLibLangConsts.XXX.dfm - Copy this file to EhLibLangConsts.dfm file (with replacment of existing file) - In the first line of a new EhLibLangConsts.dfm file delete _XXX suffix in the name of object like this: object TEhLibLanguageConsts_ENU -> object TEhLibLanguageConsts By default Delphi (5, 6 and 7) places compiled files to the <Delphi path>\Projects\Bpl directory and this directory already present in the search PATH. But if you overwrite default BPL directory then you need put compiled EhLibXX.BPL file into directory that is accessible through the search PATH (i.e. DOS "PATH" environment variable; for example, in the Windows\System directory). Add, (if needed) 'EhLib directory' in Tools->Environment Options->Library-> Library Path (For Delphi 9 in Tools->Options->Environment Options-> Delphi Options->Library - Win32->Library Path). Use "File\Open..." menu item of Delphi IDE to open the runtime package - EhLibXX.Dpk. In "Package..." window click "Compile" button to compile the package. After that open and compile EhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk. After compiling run-time packages install design-time packages DclEhLibXX.BPL and DclEhLibDataDriversXX.BPL into the IDE. For that use "File\Open..." menu item to open design-time package DclEhLibXX.Dpk. In "Package..." window click "Compile" button to compile the package and then click "Install" button to register EhLib components on the component palette. Open and install DclEhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk package. EhLib components have to appear on 'EhLib' page of components palette. 2.2.4. Delphi 9.X Vcl.Net, , BDS2006 Vcl.Net: ---------------------------------------- Uninstall previous or evaluation version of EhLib (Old version) from Delphi IDE. Remove or copy to other directory files of old version to prevent crossing old and new version of EhLib (Including Vcl.EhLib90.dll, Vcl.DclEhLib90.dll, Vcl.EhLibDataDrivers90.dll, Vcl.DclEhLibDataDrivers90.dll files). Create directory from which you will install EhLib library ('EhLib directory') (for example, C:\BDS\3.0\EhLibVclNet). Copy files from Common and Delphi9 directories of the EhLib archive to 'EhLib directory'. In Delphi IDE: Add, (if needed) 'EhLib directory' in Component->Installed .NET Components ...-> Assembly Search Paths. Add, (if needed) 'EhLib directory' in Tools->Options->Environment Options-> Delphi Options->Library - NET->Library Path. Use "File\Open..." menu item of Delphi IDE to open the runtime package - Vcl.EhLibXX.Dpk. In "Project Manager..." window, click right button above 'Vcl.EhLibXX.Dll' and select "Build" menu to compile package. After that, open and compile Vcl.EhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk, Vcl.DclEhLibXX.Dpk and Vcl.DclEhLibDataDriversXX.Dpk. Open menu "Component->Installed .NET Components ..."->.NET VCL Components. Press 'Add...' button. Locate 'Vcl.DclEhLibXX.dll' and press 'Open'. (By default, this file have to be located in 'EhLib directory' directory) Press 'Ok' in 'Installed .NET Components' Dialog. 4. Documentation and Help ------------------------- 4.1. This version of library doesn't have embedded help files for Delphi8 or Higher. But the online help is available on the ehlib home page - http://www.ehlib.com/online-help 4.2. Delphi 7.x: Copy the EhLib.hlp and EhLib.cnt files to the Delphi HELP subdirectory.
