resource中的dailog都丢失了,load failed,把当前编辑的rc文件关了也一样,
其实rc文件还存在,但dailog显示不出来,以及出现该错误.
还有就是编译运行可以.

不知为何?

1、Rebuild all一下；
2、删*.clw, *.aps,*.ncb,*.opt,然后用类向导重新生成;
3\重新建对话框.

VCLZip Native Delphi Zip/UnZip Component! (VCLZip Lite: Version 2.23 April 14th, 2002) (VCLZip Pro: Version 3.10 Buid 1 - November 25th, 2007) IMPORTANT: If installing the registered version, please be sure to always re-install/rebuild the components (VCLZip and VCLUnZip) to the component pallette (or rebuild the design time package) so that the ThisVersion property and any other new properties will be properly updated. If your application still does not run without the IDE, open up VCLZip's package, click on options and look at the Directories/Conditionals tab. If KPDEMO is defined, remove it and recompile the package. ***IMPORTANT: Please remember do not install these components into a package by the name of either VCLZip or VCLUnZip. You will receive an error if you do. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE "WHAT's NEW IN THIS VERSION" LINK IN THE HELP FILE AS IT HAS CONVENIENT LINKS TO ALL OF THE NEW TOPICS. ==================== Version 3.10 Build 1 - Several bug fixes. - Added support for Delphi 2006, 2007 - Added support for BCB 2006, 2007 - Improved memory performance when working with archives containing extremely high number of compressed files. ==================== Version 3.06 Build 2 Made Delphi 2005 compatible Other assorted fixes ==================== Version 3.05 Build 1 Fixed a lot of incompatabilities between VCLZip and WinZip Other assorted fixes ==================== Version 3.04 Build 1 New ZLib methods for optimized compression and decompression of single entities of data in standard ZLib format, without the overhead of the PKZip format. This is excellent for compression of data to be sent across the net, compressing web pages (http compliant compression), blobs, etc. - ZLibCompressStream - ZLibDecompressStream - ZLibCompressBuffer - ZLibDecompressBuffer - ZLibCompressString - ZLibDecompressString Overloaded TStream Methods for Delphi 4,5, BCB 4, and 5 - UnZipToStream - UnZipToStreamByIndex - ZipFromStream Special OnGetNextTStream Event for Delphi 4,5, BCB 4, and 5 - Allows zipping multiple TStreams in one process - More efficient than calling ZipFromStream multiple times Capability to use the latest version of ZLib 1.2.1. - VCLZip currently uses 1.4.1 by default. - By defining ZLIB121, VCLZip will use the latest version of ZLib which is included with the registered version. Some optimization improvements which should show some improvement in zipping and unzipping speed when using TkpStreams with D4, D5, BCB4, and BCB5. ============ Version 3.03 (VCLZip Pro) - Please test your application thoroughly with this new version of VCLZip Pro. While it has been tested and has even been used in at least two production applications for several months now prior to initial release, there are so many combinations of property settings, environment differences, and ways to use VCLZip that you should always test VCLZip completely in your application before deploying. *** New Zip64 capabilities, properties, methods and events: - Uncompressed, Compressed, and Archive file sizes can be up to 2^63-1 bytes in length. - You can compress up to 2147483647 files into an archive. This is compatible with PKZip's Zip64 format. - If a file does not extend beyond any of the original limitations (filesizes of 4 gig or 65535 files) then no Zip64 format information is included in the archive. - property isZip64 - tells you when you are working with a zip file that is using Zip64 format. Much faster processing due to linking to Zlib object files for compression and decompression routines. Blocked Zip Files (spanned zip archives split onto hard drive) - Now completely compatible with PKZip and WinZip split archives file naming format. - For backwards compatability you can tell VCLZip to use the old VCLZip filenaming format by using the BlockMode property. - New method OnFileNameForSplitPart called just before each split filepart is created. VCLZip supplies a default implementation of this method so for most purposes you won't need your own. - method DefaultFileNameForSplitPart - VCLZip calls this internally if you don't define your own OnFileNameForSplitPart. You can also call it from your own OnFileNameForSplitPart if you wish to add some processing to the default behavior. - property BlockMode - determines whether VCLZip uses PKZip/WinZip standard naming convention or VCLZip classic method. - method DefaultGetNextDisk - VCLZip calls this internally if you don't define your own OnGetNextDisk. You can also call it from your own OnGetNextDisk event if you wish to add some processing to the default behavior. - Properties for controlling which files are zipped... - IncludeHiddenFiles - default False; - IncludeSysFiles: - default False; - IncludeReadOnlyFiles: - default True; - IncludeArchiveFiles: - default True; - Event OnGetNextStream - Allows you to zip from multiple streams when using the ZipFromStream method. This improves performance since repeated calls to ZipFromStream causes the archive to be updated on each subsequent call. - property ThisBuild - Tells you the current build. See also ThisVersion - property OnHandleMessage - Handles interactive messages with VCLZip. There is a default, so you don't need to define your own unless you wish to eliminate interactive messages and handle them on your own. This is helpful if you are using VCLZip as a service or on a webserver for instance. ******** Upgrading existing applications that use VCLZip 2.X ********** For the most part, existing applications will work as-is. Just install VCLZip 3.X and recompile your code. Here are some things to be aware of though... 1) If your app currently creates mmBlock archives (spanned directly to hard drive) and you define your own OnGetNextDisk in VCLZip 2.X, you should move your code from this event that handles mmBlock events to the new event OnFileNameForSplitPart. However, if you simply rely on VCLZip's default OnGetNextDisk then you don't have to worry about this. 2) If your app creates mmBlock archives, the default naming convention has changed to match the PKZip/WinZip standard. If you wish to keep the same naming convention then set BlockMode := mbClassic. 3) OnGetNextDisk and OnPrepareNextDisk events are called for the 1st disk now. VCLZip 2.X only calls these events starting with the 2nd disk. 4) properties CompressedSize[Index], UncompressedSize[Index], ZipSize are now Int64 types. 5) Delphi 4, Delphi 5, BCB 4, and BCB5 are all capable of using the Zip64 format. However they use the TkpHugeStream decendants which act just like TStreams except they handle files/stream sizes larger than 2gig. There is a TkpHugeFileStream and a TkpHugeMemoryStream which should handle 99% of all necessary actions. If you currently work with VCLZip 2.X with TBlobStreams or some other type of streams, you can either define your own TkpBlobStream for instance which inherits from TkpHugeStream, or use the TkpHugeStream.CopyFrom(TStream, Count) and the TkpHugeStream.GetStream: TStream methods to give VCLZip your stream and get it back. Ofcourse when using regular TStream decendants in D4,4,BCB4,and 5, you cannot create Zip64 archives. If you use Delphi 6, 7, or BCB 6, you don't have to worry about any of this as the normal TSTream is used by VCLZip and handles large file/stream sizes. ============ Version 2.23 (VCLZip Lite) Added the OEMConvert property. Filenames stored in a PKZip compatible archive normally go through an OEM conversion to make them ascii compatible. When opening the zip file the conversion is undone. If you do not plan on having other zip utilities opening up your archives this conversion process is not really necessary. Setting this property to False will eliminate this process. The default value for this property is True for normal PKZip compatability. Added OnEncrypt and OnDecrypt events. These allow you to replace the standard pkzip encryption with your own. Data is passed to these events a buffer at a time. Use this with care as this is still somewhat experimental and I'm not sure how useful it is yet. You must make all changes within the buffer sent in to you. Treat the entire file as a stream. Byte for byte replacement only. No additional keys can be saved. Added OnRecursingFile event. Sometimes when using wildcards and recursing directories, there was no reporting of progress. This will be fired each time a file matches as the file list is being built while recursing directories. Added the EncryptBeforeCompress boolean property. The default for this property is False and if left like this VCLZip will behave like normal. If set to True, VCLZip will encrypt each buffer prior to compressing it instead of afterwards. This will cause files to not be decryptable by normal zip utilities thereby adding a bit of extra security. Bugs Fixed: IMPORTANT!!! Behavior of freeing the ArchiveStream (compressed stream) has been modified. VCLZip will now no longer try to free ArchiveStream, you must free it yourself. This was due to a problem where it would be freed automatically if there was a problem with the ArchiveStream when trying to open it as a zip file (possibly corrupt). Best practice is that ArchiveStream should always point toward a TMemoryStream that you create anyway. Modified the SFX code (the code used to create the SFX stub distributed with VCLZip) so that it handles filenames that have been run through an OEM Conversion. The SFX was losing accented characters. This modification means that if you are creating zip files to be used as SFX's you will want to leave the OEMConvert property mentioned above, set to it's default value of True. Modified so that when cursor is changed to hourglass by VCLZip, previous cursor is saved correctly instead of just changing it back to default cursor. Now saves Central Directory Extra Fields correctly. Fixed the SFX code so that it works properly if you use Copy /B to concatenate a zip file to the stub. Due to a Delphi strange behavior sometimes path names for directory only entries would become corrupted. Removed reference to QConsts, replaced with RTLConsts. Sometimes a GPF would result if a corrupt zip file was opened. Using a wildcard in pathname added to FilesList did not work. Using '*.*' as a wildcard in files added to FilesList now is the same as using '*'. VCLZip will now check for CancelTheOperation during initial building of the fileslist instead of just during compression processing. Added a final call to OnTotalPercentDone with 100% because this didn't always happen. Attributes were not getting set correctly for directory-only entries. Fixed a problem that was not allowing ZipComment's to be added correctly to spanned or blocked zip files. Not the same fix as in 2.22. Directories (directory-only entries) were not being restored properly unless DoAll was True. You were unable to delete a directory from which files were recursively zipped until exiting your application. ============ Version 2.22 Now Delphi 6 compatible. New event called {link=93,OnRecursingFile} which gets called as VCLZip recurses directories searching for files that match a wildcard that is entered in the FilesList. This gets called each time a file matches the wildcard. Fixed a bug which kept diskettes from being labeled when creating spanned zip files on WIN31. Fixed a bug which sometimes did not allow zip comments to be added to blocked zip sets. Fixed a bug which caused VCLZip to not properly handle the IncompleteZip exception on spanned zip sets unless you called ReadZip prior to calling UnZip. Version 2.21 (Changes are shown in the build stages as they were implemented) Pre-Release Build 5: When working with temporary files, VCLZip will now rename, instead of copy, the temp file if the destination is on the same drive. This will speed up the adding of files to an existing zip file when the resulting zip file is very large. Pre-Release Build 4: New event called OnPrepareNextDisk which is an event that will allow you, when creating spanned zip files across diskettes, to do things like format a diskette that has just been inserted, or to add or delete files from the diskette before continuing with the zipping process. Fixed a problem that was causing the CancelTheOperation Method to not work properly. Pre-Release Build 3: Fixed bug which caused VCLZip to miscalculate space needed for zfc file if wildcards are put into the FilesList. Fixed bug so you could have FilePercentDone without needing TotalPercentDone when creating spanned zip files Fixed so relative_offset set correctly for spanned zips. Side effect of removing needless write of header. Added code to read local fileheaders if exception thrown when reading a central fileheader. Fixed problem where directories couldn't be created from directory entries because the fullpath wasn't known yet. Result of having moved this code to earlier. Fixed typo in creation of LOC header values which could cause error if reading local headers. Changed so Zip Comment starting position is calculated based on end of central record instead of end of file. Pre-Release Build 2: IMPORTANT: Changed default for FileOpenMode back to fmShareDenyNone as it had been for all but version 2.20. Fixed a problem where drivepart (i.e. C:\) was not being stripped when saving relative paths. Added a BufferedStreamSize property which can increase the speed of creating zips to floppy (and other slow media) dramatically. The new default for this should increase the speed by as much as 3 times, but you can now tweak this especially for your application! Added an ImproperZip property which gets set when VCLZip detects an inconsistency with the zip. This can be useful for detecting when VCLZip was able to open the zip in spite of an inconsistency found. There was no way to know this in the past. Fixed a problem where zip comments in zfc files were not being read correctly. Added a setZipSignatures procedure which allows you to modify the signatures of your zip file. This will cause other zip utilities to not be able to recognize or read your zip files created with VCLZip. Useful if you want to add further security to your zip files. Pre-Release Build 1: Some zip files would not open correctly, throwing an incomplete zip file exception due to an erroneous "extra field length" identifier in headers of some compressed files. These zip files are rare, but a very few people seemed to have several of them. This problem would not affect zip files created by VCLZip, and this problem should only occur in VCLZip 2.20, not in any previous version. If you had Range Checking turned on, VCLZip would get a range check error when using a wildcard that ended with a * as in 'somefile.*'. Under certain circumstances, drive information would not be stripped from path information if zipping recursively (including subdirectories) "Retrying" to zip a file that could not be opened using the OnSkippingFile event would not always work correctly. Creating spanned zip set to floppy should be faster now due to removing a needless header write to disk for each file. VCLZip would not compile correctly with MAKESMALL defined. Added code to make VCLZip work with BCB5. Haven't tested this yet though since I don't have BCB5 myself yet. Added readonly boolean ImproperZip property which will be set to True when some sort of problem is found when opening the zip file, even if recoverable. This property will be enhanced and refined in the future. If KeepZipOpen is set to True, when putting in the wrong disk in a spanned zip set, VCLZip would not always properly close the file on the old diskette before trying to open the file on the next diskette. Added ECantWriteUCF exception which will be thrown if VCLZip runs out of room to write the uncompressed file when unzipping. Timestamp was not being set properly when unzipping readonly files. Moved setting of the timestamp to before the attributes get set. ============ Version 2.20 Changes have been made in the following areas: --Performance There are a few code optimizations that should speed up the zipping process slightly. --Spanned Zip Files A new feature, turned on with the SaveZipInfoOnFirstDisk allows VCLZip to create and read spanned zip files starting with the first disk instead of the normally required last disk of the spanned disk set by saving a Zip Configuration File on the first disk. This feature can be used even if creating the spanned zip file directly to your hard drive. A new property, SaveOnFirstDisk, allows you to save room on the first disk when creating a spanned zip file, to allow room for other files, such as setup programs, data files, or a Zip Configuration File. Spanned zip files can now be directed toward disks greater than 2 gig in size as long as you are using Delphi 5 or BCB 4. --UnZipping The new Selected indexed property offers another way to flag files to be unzipped. Files that have the Selected property set to True can be unzipped using the UnZipSelected method. The Selected property will be cleared (set to False) for each file as it is unzipped, but you can also call the ClearSelected method to clear them all. At anytime the NumSelected property can be checked to see how many files have been selected. Also, the UnZipToBufferByIndex and UnZipToStreamByIndex methods allow you to unzip files specified by their index instead of by name or wildcard. The BufferLength property allows buffered output (buffer smaller than the total uncompressed filesize) when unzipping directly to memory (see UnZipToBuffer and UnZipToBufferByIndex). This will cause the OnGetNextBuffer Event to be called everytime BufferLength bytes have been output by VCLZip. Modified to work in all ways with zip files that have "extra fields" in their headers. These tend to be quite rare, but they do show up from time to time. --Zipping Added a property called FileOpenMode which allows you to define the file open mode for files when they are opened to be zipped. Added a Retry parameter to the OnSkippingFile Event that can be used to re-attempt to open a file for zipping that is open by another process. This gives the chance to close the file and continue with the zipping process rather than having to start over again. Added a ENotEnoughRoom exception which will be thrown if there is not enough room to write to the archive, i.e. out of disk space. The new OnUpdate Event gets fired when updating or freshening an existing archive. It is triggered for each file that already exists in the archive as it is either replaced or kept in the updated archive. The AddDirEntriesOnRecurse will cause separate directory entries to be included in archives when doing recursive zips through subdirectories. --Integrity Checking A new method, CheckArchive, will perform an integrity check on all files in an archive. This is much faster than using FileIsOK on each file if testing all files in an archive with VERY MANY files. Further improved checking for corrupted zip files when opening zip files. --Encryption The following new properties and methods allow lower level work with password encrypted archives: DecryptHeader Gets the decryption header for a particular compressed file in an archive GetDecryptHeaderPtr Same as DecryptHeader but easier to use in BCB. DecryptHeaderByte Method Tests a password against the decryption header found in the DecryptHeader property. GetDecryptHeaderByteByPtr Same as DecryptHeaderByte but easier to use in BCB. --Self Extracting Executables Changes were made to the ZIPSFX32.BIN stub itself: - Modified to work with zip files containing "extra fields" in their headers. - Modified to change mouse cursor to an hour glass during processing. - Check for correct file size is now done automatically - Now uses the end of central and central headers to find the first local header. - Added a progress meter - Better checking for corrupted zip files. - Added an information window that can optionally be shown when the sfx is initially started up. - Added an AutoRun option to make the sfx stub run automatially when double clicked with no other interaction from the user. For the new modified sfx stub, ZIPSFX32.BIN, instead of using kpSFXOpt, you should now use the TSfxConfig component to set the options for the sfx stub. The new sfx can be found in the sfx\ subdirectory as usual and is called ZIPSFX32.BIN and the original sfx can be found in the same subdirectory except it is now called ORGSFX32.bin. Just rename it if you prefer that one (use KPSFXOPT instead of TSfxConfig with the old stub). --Miscellaneous The installation is now easier, atleast for first time installers of the source code. The .DPK files for Delphi and .CPP files for BCB are now included. Now these files simply have to be compiled and that's it. There is a separate option in the installation for installing to the different versions of Delphi and BCB. Added a property called FlushFilesOnClose which will cause all files opened for write by VCLZip to have their disk buffers flushed to disk when closed. Added the capability to delete Selected files from an archive using the DeleteEntries Method. The behavior of the OnInCompleteZip Event has been greatly improved. You can now use this event to ask the user to insert the last disk of a spanned disk set rather than having to handle this situation from outside VCLZip. The register procedures were changed so that the components now get installed to the "VCLZip" tab on the palette. I found that for all but Delphi 1 I had to actually manually move the components to the "VCLZip" tab. You may find that you have to do this too if you have already installed VCLZip before. The components now use new bitmaps in place of the old ones on the component palette. Separated many compiler defines into a new file called KPDEFS.INC. ==================================== Version 2.18: 1) Thanks to the hard work of a fellow registered user, added the capability to remove all dependencies on the Dialogs, Forms, Controls, and FileCtrl units by defining the conditional MAKESMALL, which results in a smaller footprint. This can be quite useful when putting VCLZip into a DLL for instance. In order to make this work, go into your Project | Options and select the Directories/Conditionals tab and enter MAKESMALL in the conditional defines text box. In Delphi you can add this conditinal define to the project options of your application that uses VCLZip and then do a "build all". In BCB you will have to add this to the project options of the package that contains VCLZip and then rebuild the package. If you define MAKESMALL, the only things you lose are: a) ZIP file open dialog box that appears when the ZipName is set to "?" b) Select Directory dialog box that appears when the DestDir is set to "?" c) Changing the cursor to an hour glass during some operations. d) No long filename support in Delphi 1 2) Made VCLZip completely BCB4 compatible. 3) Added some exception handling to KPUNZIPP and KPINFLT, mainly to handle unexpected situations when wrong passwords are entered. This fixes the problem with PRP, the password recovery program. 4) For Borland C++ Builder, changed any COMP types to double, getting rid of the compiler warnings for unsupported comp type. This affects the OnStartZipInfo and OnStartUnZipInfo events, so you'll have to change the comp parameter to double in these events if you use them (in both your header files and in the CPP files). 5) Modified OnStartUnZip event so that FName (the filename of the file that is about to be unzipped along with complete path) is now a VAR parameter and can be modified. This allows you to change the path and name of a file that is about to be unzipped. This is especially helpfull in applications like Install Programs. NOTE: You will need to change your current code to add the VAR to the event definition and implementation if you already use this event in your application. (In BCB, add a & just before the parameter instead of VAR) 6) Moved many type definitions to VCLUNZIP.PAS so that kpZipObj won't have to be included in your USES list. 7) Fixed bug that caused GPF when setting Zip Comment to '' (empty string). 8) Moved strings in VCLZip/VCLUnZip into a string table, making the code size a little smaller as well as making it much easier to localize string information. However you have the option of not using the new string table, for whatever reason, by defining NO_RES in your project options (in the conditional defines text box on the Directories/Conditionals tab). 9) Removed the need for several files. No longer included are kpstrm.res, kpstrm.rc, kpsconst.res, kpsconst.rc, kpstres.pas, and for Delphi 1, kpdrvs.pas. In some cases the need for these files was eliminated and in other cases just rolled into the newly included kpzcnst.rc, kpzcnst.pas, and kpzcnst.res. Definining NO_RES in your project options will elimiate the need for these new files but will make your code size slightly larger and you won't be able to localize your application without changing VCLZip source code. 10) Modified the OnFilePercentDone and OnTotalPercentDone progress events to work better when creating spanned disk sets and blocked zip sets. They no longer report 100% when the compressed file still has to be copied to disk. 11) Added the ReplaceReadOnly property. Setting this to true will allow files with the ReadOnly attribute to be replaced during the unzip process. 12) Added the ifNewer and ifOlder options to the OverwriteMode property. (This had somehow made it into the help file but not into VCLUnZip) 13) Added the SFXToZip method which will convert an SFX file to a regular zip file. The header pointers will be properly adjusted during the conversion. 14) Fixed a problem where the OnGetNextDisk event would always revert to the DefaultGetNextDisk method instead of what you entered into the Object Inspector each time your project was re-opened. 15) Fixed a bug that caused CRC errors when unzipping files from spanned disk sets if they were STORED (no compression) and spanned across disks. 16) Added the OnZipComplete and OnUnZipComplete events. If defined, these will fire at the very end of a zip or unzip operation (after all files have been processed, not after each file). These events will rarely be used since, normally you will be able to do the same thing at the point that the call to Zip or UnZip returns, but these events can be useful when using VCLZip in threads where in certain circumstances the return from the Zip or UnZip methods are not seen. 17) Creation of SFX files has never been easier!!! The addition of the MakeNewSFX method allows you to create Self Extracting Executables without the need to create a zip file first. The files that you specify in the FilesList property will be zipped, using all the normal VCLZip property settings, and the SFX will be created, all in one step! In addition, you can create configurable SFX files using this method, and you can do this especially easy by adding the new unit kpSFXOpt to your application's USES list and using the new 32bit SFX stub that is now distributed with VCLZip. This allows you to easily set things like SFX Dialog caption, default target extraction directory, file to launch after extraction, etc. 18) Fixed a memory leak that only affects applications using VCLZip that are compiled with Delphi 2, and that use wildcard specifications in the FilesList property. Version 2.17a: 1) Fixed a bug that was keeping VCLZip from reading truncated zip files or sfx files that did not have their headers adjusted. 2) Fixed a bug that was causing a directory to be created on the C drive when doing integrity checking with the FileIsOK property. 3) Added {$V-} to kpZipObj.PAS 4) Moved two AssignTo methods to public instead of private in kpZipObj.PAS Version 2.17: 1) Added Memory zipping and unzipping capabilities through the UnZipToBuffer and ZipFromBuffer methods. See the documentation for these methods in the Help File for more information. 2) New FileIsOK Property allows you to check for the integrity of individual files within an archive without actually unzipping the file. 3) Fixed a bug that kept checking of volume labels from working on WIN31 when working with spanned disk sets. 4) Removed all references to ChDirectory so that VCLZip will be more thread safe allowing separate instances of VCLZip in separate threads to be performing zip/unzip operations at the same time. 5) A new public property PreserveStubs allows you to make modifications to sfx archives and have the archive remain an SFX rather than revert back to a normal zip file. 6) Added a default OnGetNextDisk event. If one is not defined, then the default event will be called when the situation arises that a new disk is needed when zipping or unzipping a spanned or blocked zip archive. 7) Added more power to the wildcard capabilities. Now you can qualify the * wildcard character, for instance: * would satisfy any number of contiguous characters as long as they are all a thru e. * would satisfy any number of contiguous characters as long as none of them were a thru e. This allows you to do things like include files in specific direcories into your ExcludeList. For instance: VCLZip1.ExcludeList.Add('c:\test\*.txt') would exclude the zipping of all .txt files in the test directory but not in any subdirectories. 8) Fixed other minor bugs and made other code enhancements. Version 2.16: ***Please be aware that if you currently use the OnSkippingFile event in any of your applications, version 2.16 will require a small modification as this event has an added parameter and one of the current parameters is used a little differently when being called by the zip operation. Please see the help file for more information. 1) The OnSkippingFile Event has been changed slightly, adding a parameter for the filename. 2) OnSkippingFile is now called when a file to be zipped is skipped because it is locked by another application. See the Help File for more information. 3) Fixed a bug with the Exclude and NoCompressList where they were ignoring entries with anything before the extention (i.e. 'somefile.*' as opposed to '*.zip') if you were saving directory information. 4) Fixed a bug that caused an error if you added a wildcard with a non-existent directory to the FilesList. 5) A few other minor bug fixes. Modifications for 2.15 include: 1) PackLevel can now be set to 0 (zero) which means no compression at all (STORED only). 2) New property ExcludeList is a new stringlist that you can add filenames and wildcards to in order to specify files that you do not wish to be included in an archive. 3) New property NoCompressList is a new stringlist that you can add filenames and wildcards to in order to specify files that you wish to be STORED with a PackLevel of 0 (zero), no compression. 4) All compiler warnings and hints were removed. Modifications for 2.14 include: 1) Delphi 4 compatability. 2) Added ability to use complex wildcards when specifying which files are to be zipped. This includes wildcard characters not only in the filename but also in the pathname. This allows you to specify directories using wildcards, for instance: VCLZip1.FilesList.add('c:\test\w*\mycode*.pas'); would get all PAS files beginning with mycode in subdirectories under TEST that begin with the letter w. Wilcards may be much more complex than this. Please see the help file for more information. 3) Added the ability to override the RECURSE property setting when specifying files to be zipped. By adding the following characters to the beginning of the filenames being added, you can override whatever the current setting is for the RECURSE property: '>' will force recursion into subdirectories '|' will force NO-recursion For instance: VCLZip1.FilesList.add('>c:\windows\*.ini'); will get all .ini files in and below the windows directory reguardless of what the recurse property setting is. and: VCLZip1.FilesList.add('|c:\windows\sys*\*.dll'); will get all .dll files in subdirectories of the windows directories that start with 'sys' but will not recurse into any directories below the sys* directories. 4) The [ and ] characters previously used as special wildcard characters have been changed to since [ and ] are valid filename characters. If you still need to use the previous characters for backward compatability, I can show registered users how to easily modify a couple of constants in the source code in order to go back to the old style. See "Using Wildcards" in the help file for more information. 5) A few bug fixes. Modifications for 2.13 include: 1) New property ResetArchiveBitOnZip causes each file's archive bit to be turned off after being zipped. 2) New Property SkipIfArchiveBitNotSet causes files who's archive bit is not set to be skipped during zipping operations. 3) A few modifications were made to allow more compatibility with BCB 1. 4) Cleaned up the Help File some. 5) KWF file now works for Delphi 1 and Delphi 2 again. Still can't get context sensitive help in Delphi 3. 6) Cleaned up some of the code that was causing compiler warnings and hints. Modifications for 2.12 include: 1) Added a TempPath property to allow the temporary files path to be different from the Windows default. 2) Modified VCLZip so that any temporary files that are created receive a unique temporary filename so as not to clash with any other files in the temporary directory. This also allows working with zip files residing in the temporary directory. 3) Fixed a bug in the relative path feature. 4) Fixed a bug that caused a "list out of bounds" error if a file in the FilesList did not actually exist. Modifications for 2.11 include: 1) Fixed password encryption bug for 16 bit. 2) Fixed "invalid pointer operation" when closing application bug. 3) Fixed path device truncation bug which caused inability to modify existing archives in 16 bit. 4) Fixed inability to cancel during wilcard expansion bug. 5) Added capability to better handle corrupted timestamps. 6) Added capability to open and work with SFX files that were created with the COPY/B method (header files not adjusted). 7) Other small bug fixes. I'm still working on a bug which causes a GPF when continually unzipping the same file thousands to millions of times. This mainly affects programs like the Password Recovery Program (PRP) which uses the brute force method of searching for an archive's password. Modifications for 2.10 include: 1) Capability for 16bit VCLZip to store long file/path names when running on a 32bit OS. 2) New property (Store83Names) which allows you to force DOS 8.3 file and path names to be stored. 3) Better UNC path support. 4) Fixed a bug to allow files to be added to an empty archive. Modifications for 2.03 include: 1) Volume labels now get written correctly to spanned disk sets in Delphi 1 for all versions of Windows. 2) Delphi 1 VCLZip now correctly recognizes when it is running on Windows NT. 3) Fixed a problem with zipping files in the root directory when StorePaths = True. 4) File and Zip Comments are now read correctly from spanned/blocked zip archives. 5) Fixed a buf that was causing "Duplicate Object" errors. Modifications for 2.02 include: 1) Fix for file comments which were supposed to be fixed in version 2.01 but weren't. 2) Fix for stream zipping. Version 2.01 would not create a new archive if using a stream. (The Stream Demo now allows creating new zip files to streams too) 3) A few other minor modifications to further solidify the code. 4) A modification to the Zip Utility Demo which allows unzipping from Blocked zip files as if they were single zip files. 5) Added a read-only, published ThisVersion property which reflects the version of the VCLZip/VCLUnZip that you are currently working with. Modifications for 2.01 include: 1) Fixes for exceptions that were caused when CANCELING a zip or unzip of a spanned zip file. 2) Fix for a possible problem when zipping or unzipping a spanned zip file when one or more of the compressed files resided on more than 2 of the spanned parts. 3) Fix for file comments which were broken in version 2.00. Additional features for version 2.00 include: 1) Modify/Add internal file details (filename, pathname, timestamp, comment) for any file while zipping, in the OnStartZip event. 2) Add an Archive Comment while zipping in the OnStartZipInfo event. 3) Delphi 1 compatiblity for VCLZip. 4) Stream to Stream Zipping - Archives themselves can now be TStreams! 5) New Relative Path Information option. 6) Unzip archives that weren't zipped with the Relative Path option turned on as if they had been by determining how much path information to use with the Rootpath property. 7) Modify timestamps for files in existing archives (you could already modify filenames and pathnames for files in existing archives) 8) The OnBadPassword event now allows you to supply a new password and try the same file again when unzipping. 9) Source code has been cleaned up so that it will compile under Borland C++ Builder with no modifications. Also some bugs were fixed, most importantly: 1) An empty file, that had been compressed into an archive would cause any file added to the archive to cause the archive to approximately double in size. Any archives containing empty files are not corrupted, they are OK. This was simply a fix to the way the archive was processed. 2) After creating an SFX file, you had to close the zip file before you could modify it in any way, otherwise a stream read error was encountered. See the Help file for more information on new features. This zip file is part of a self contained installation program. Just run it and the installation program will begin.

Release history (reverse chronological order) This release 1.3.7.1 Release date: December 11, 2006 Known bugs: none Fixes/features added from previous release: a) added support for multiple filters per process in VsDrvr.dll b) updated manual Previous release 1.3.5 Release date: October 11th, 2005 Known bugs: none Fixes/features added from previous release a) added VsSetWavelengthStep and VsGetWavelengthStep functions b) added VsSetWavelengthWavesConfirm() function c) fixed error-handling of VsSetWavelength() In earlier revisions, the error status light was cleared after a VsSetWavelength() call failed, so the user did not see the light turn red to alert that an error had occurred. This has been fixed in 1.35 so the error light remains lit, and an error code is returned. d) added range-check to VsDefinePalette() Previous revisions did not range-check the palette index number, and hard crashes could be produced if out-of-range values were supplied to this routine. Previous release 1.33b Release date: February 9, 2005 Known bugs: none Fixes/features changed from previous release: a) Fixed installer: programmers?guide (vsdrvr.pdf) installed when SDK is selected. Previous release 1.33a Release date: January 10th, 2005 Known bugs: i) SDK programmers?guide is not installed even if SDK is selected. Fixes/features added from previous release a) VsDrvr.dll fixed handling of COMx ports that do not support 460kb The autobaud sequence tries a variety of baud rates, some of which are not supported by RS-232 interfaces (but are supported on USB virtual COM ports). This was not handled properly, so if a call was made to VsOpen when no VariSpec was present, but a later call was made when a filter was present, the latter would fail. b) VsGui added check of which COMx ports are present on computer This program now filters its COMx list and only shows ports which actually exist; it used to show COM1 ?COM8 even if not all of these were present. c) VsGui added automatic filter detection on Configure dialog This checks all ports in turn, and reports the first detected filter. The search order is determined by the order in which the computer lists ports in the Registry. d) VsGui changed to recognize filters as present while initializing In prior revisions, VsGui would not report no filter found if a filter was present but still going through its power-up initialization. Now, a message box is posted to indicate that a filter was found, and the program checks whether initialization is complete, at 1 second intervals. When the filter is done initializing, the VsGui controls become active and report the filter information (serial number, wavelength range, etc). e) VsGui added filter status item to Configure dialog Adjacent the COMx combo box, there is now a text field that indicates filter status as 揘ot found? 揑nitializing? or 揜eady? This field is updated whenever the combo box selection is changed. Previous release 1.32 Release date: July 27th, 2004 Known bugs: COMx port described above as 1.33 fix item a) Fixes/features added from previous release a) VsGui added a sweep feature to enable cycling the filter The wavelength start, stop, and step are adjustable. Cycling can be done a fixed number of times or indefinitely. Previous release 1.30 Release date: June 23rd, 2004 Known bugs: none Fixes/features added from previous release a) New commands VsSetWaveplateAndWaves(), VsGetWaveplateAndWaves(), VsGetWaveplateLimits(), and VsGetWaveplateStages() were added for support of variable retarder models. b) New commands VsSetRetries() and VsSetLatencyMs() were added for control of serial port latency and automatic retry in case of error. c) New commands VsSetMode() and VsGetMode() were added for control of the VariSpec filter抯 triggering and sweep modes d) New command VsGetSettleMs() was added to learn optics settling time e) New commands VsIsDiagnostic() and VsIsEngagedInBeam() were added. These are reserved for CRI use and are not supported for use by end users. f) The command syntax and functionality of the VsSendCommand() function was changed - see description of this command for details g) The VsGui program was modified to add sweep function, and the associated files were added to the file manifest. The new functions are assigned higher ordinal numbers than the earlier commands, so the ordinal numbers assigned to routines in the earlier VsDrvr routines are preserved. This means one may use the new VsDrvr.dll file with applications that were developed and linked with the earlier release, without any need to recompile or relink the application. Of course, to use the new functions one must link the application code with the new .lib file containing these functions. Previous release: 1.20 Release date December 3rd, 2003 Known bugs: a) there is a conflict when one uses the implicit palette to set wavelengths, and also defines palette states explicitly using the VsDefinePalette() function. When the explicitly set palette state overwrites a palette state implicitly associated with a certain wavelength, that wavelength will not be accurately set when one issues the VsSetWavelength() command. This is fixed in release 1.30 Fixes/features added from previous release a) fixes bug with implicit palette in September 8 release b) incorporates implicit retry for command send/reply if error in transmission c) recognizes filters with serial numbers > 60000 (normally VariLC numbers) d) supports binary transfer of >127 bytes Previous release 1.11 Release date September 8, 2003 Known bugs a) implicit palette can fail to create palette entry, causing tuning error b) VsSendBinary() fails if 128 chars or more sent (signed char error) Fixes/features added from previous release a) included VsIsPresent() function omitted from function list of 1.10 release Previous release 1.10 Release date: August 28th, 2003 Known bugs: a) VsIsPresent function not included ?generates 搖nresolved external?at link-time Fixes/features added from previous release: b) added command VsEnableImplicitPalette() to code and documentation added command VsConnect() to code and documentation added command VsClose() to code and documentation added local variable to avoid unnecessary querying of diagnostic status documented that command VsConnect() will not be supported in future documented that command VsDisconnect() will not be supported in future documented that command VsIsConnected() will not be supported in future changed to Windows Installer from previous ZIP file added table summary of commands to this manual Previous release 1.00 Release date: November 5th, 2002 Known bugs: a) none Fixes/features added from previous release b) n/a ?initial releaseDescription This package provides a set of functions to control the VariSpec filter, which may be called from C or C++ programs. It incorporates all aspects of the filter communication, including low-level serial routines. With these routines, one can address the filter as a virtual object, with little need for detailed understanding of its behavior. This simplifies the programming task for those who want to integrate the VariSpec into larger software packages. File manifest All files are contained in a single installer file which includes the following: vsdrvr.h declaration file vsdrvr.lib library stub file vsdrvr.dll run-time library vsdrvr_r1p30.pdf (this file) release notes and programmer抯 guide {sample program using VsDrvr package} registryAccess.cpp registryAccess.h resource.h stdafx.h VsConfigDlg.cpp VsConfigfDlg.h VsGui.cpp VsGui.h VsGui.mak VsGui.rc VsGuiDlg.cpp VsGuiDlg.h VsSweep.cpp VsSweep.h Development cycle In order to use the DLL, one should take the following steps: a) Add #include 搗sdrvr.h?statements to all files that access the VariSpec software b) Add vsdrvr.lib to the list of modules searched by the linker c) Place a copy of vsdrvr.dll in either the folder that includes the executable code for the program being developed; or, preferably, in the windows system folder. Failures in step a) will lead to compiler errors; in step b) to linker errors; in step c) to a run-time error message that 揳 required .DLL file, vsdrvr.dll, was not found? VariSpec filter configuration The VariSpec filter communicates via ASCII commands sent over an RS-232 interface or USB. The RS232 can operate at 9600 or 19,200 baud, while the USB appears as a virtual COMx device. While it appears to be present at either 9600 baud or 115.2 kbaud , the actual data transmission occurs at 12 MBaud over the USB. Each command is terminated with an end-of-line terminator which can be either a carriage-return or line feed . For RS-232 models, the baud rate and terminator character are selected using DIP switches inside the VariSpec electronics module. Default settings are 9600 baud, and the character (denoted 慭r?in the C language). For USB devices, the terminator is always . For latest information, or to determine how to alter the settings from the factory defaults, consult the VariSpec manual. Timing and latency The VariSpec filter takes a finite time to process commands, which adds an additional delay to that imposed by simple communication delays. In general, the time to process a given command is short except for the following operations: ?filter initialization ?wavelength selection ?palette definition The first of these is quite lengthy (30 seconds or more) because it involves measurements and exercising of the liquid crystal optics. The latter two are much faster but still can take a significant amount of time (up to 300 ms) on the older RS-232 electronics due to the computations involved. On the newer, USB electronics, the latter two functions are completed in less than 5 ms. For this reason, the functions that handle these actions offer the option of waiting until the action is complete before returning (so-called synchronous operation); although they can be called in an asynchronous mode where the function returns as soon as all commands have been sent to the VariSpec, without waiting for them to run to completion. Another option is to use implicit palette tables. If this is enabled, by calling the VsEnableImplicitPalette() function, the driver will define the settings for a given wavelength once, then saves the results within the VariSpec for faster access next time that wavelength is used. Subsequent access times are essentially instantaneous, until either all of the 128 palette states are in use, or the palette is cleared via the VsClearPalette() command. The VsIsReady() function can be used to determine whether a filter is done processing all commands. Ideally, one should check VsIsReady() using a timer or the like to wait efficiently, so that the host PC is free to do other tasks while waiting for the VariSpec. The VariSpec always processes each command to completion before starting on the next command, and it has a 256 byte input buffer, so there is no problem issuing several commands at once; they will all be executed, and in the order given. This also indicates another way to coordinate one抯 program with the VariSpec filter: one can issue any of the VsGetxxx() functions, which query the filter. Since these do not return until the filter has responded, one may be sure that there are no pending commands when the VsGetxxx() function completes. The VsDrvr package provides for automatic re-try of commands up to 3 times, in the event that communications are garbled, and will wait up to 2 seconds for completion of serial commands. The number of retries can be set from 0 to 10, and the latency adjusted, if desired. However, there should be no need to do so. The hardware and software have been tested and observed to execute several million commands without a single communications error, so in practice the need for the retry protocol is very slight. Communication speed is not improved by reducing the latency, since commands proceed when all characters are received, and the latency time to time-out is only relevent when there is a communications lapse ?and as noted, these are very unlikely so the performance burden of retries should not be a practical consideration. Multiple Filters and Multiple Processes These routines only permit one VariSpec per process, and one process per VariSpec. So, these routines cannot control multiple filters at once from a single process; nor can several active processes seek to control the same filter at the same time. The VsDrvr package anticipates a future upgrade to enable control of multiple filters per process, so it makes use of an integer handle to identify which VariSpec is being controlled, even though (for now) only a single filter can be active. This handle is checked, and the correct handle must be used in all calls. Program flow and sequence Typical programs should use the following API calls (all applications, upon initiating link to the filter) ?call VsOpen() to establish communications link (required) ?call VsIsPresent() to confirm a filter is actually present ?call VsIsReady() in case filter is still doing power-up sequence ?call VsGetFilterIdentity() to learn wavelength limits and serial number if needed (if setting wavelengths via implicit palettes; recommended especially with older filters) ?call VsEnableImplicitPalettes() ? (to set wavelengths, either directly or via implicit palettes) ?call VsSetWavelength() and VsGetWavelength() to select and retrieve tuning (if setting wavelengths by means of palettes, and managing palettes explicity) ?call VsDefinePaletteEntry() and VsClearPalette() to define palette entries ?call VsSetPalette() and VsGetPalette() to select and retrieve palette state (all applications, when done with the filter) ?call VsClose() to release the communications link (required) Sample program Source code for a sample program, VsGui, is provided, which illustrates how to control a VariSpec filter using the VsDrvr package. All filter control code lives in the VsGuiDlg.cpp module, specifically in the Connect(), RequestToSetWavelength(), and VsWriteTimerProc() functions. The latter two use a system timer to decouple the GUI from the actual filter control, for more responsive feedback to the user. Such an approach is unnecessary if palettes are used, which is preferable when one wishes the best real-time performance. See the VariSpec manual for further information. Auxiliary commands Certain commands are normally only used at the factory when filters are being built and configured, or in specialized configurations. These appear after the normal command set in the listing below. Obsolescent commands The VsConnect(), VsIsConnected(), and VsDisconnect() functions are obsolescent. They are supported in this release, but will not necessarily exist in releases after 1.3x. As they are obsolescent, they are not recommended for new code. These function calls are not documented further in this manual.Summary of commands Normal Commands VsClearError(vsHnd) VsClearPalette(vsHnd) VsClearPendingCommands(vsHnd) VsClose(vsHnd) VsDefinePalette(vsHnd, palEntry, wl) VsEnableImplicitPalette(vsHnd, isEnabled) VsGetError(vsHnd, *pErr) VsGetFilterIdentity(vsHnd, *pVer, *pSerno, *pminWl, *pmaxWl) VsGetMode(vsHnd, int *pMode) VsGetPalette(vsHnd, *ppalEntryNo) VsGetSettleMs(vsHnd, *psettleMs) VsGetTemperature(vsHnd, *pTemperature) VsGetWavelength(vsHnd, *pwl) VsGetWavelengthAndWaves(vsHnd, double *pWl, double *pwaves) VsGetWaveplateLimits(vsHnd, double *pminWaves, double *pmaxWaves) VsGetWaveplateStages(vsHnd, int *pnStages) VsIsPresent(vsHnd) VsIsReady(vsHnd) VsOpen(*pvsHnd, portName, *pErrorCode) VsSetLatencyMs(vsHnd, nLatencyMs) VsSetMode(vsHnd, mode) VsSetPalette(vsHnd, palEntry) VsSetRetries(vsHnd, nRetries) VsSetWavelength(vsHnd, wl, confirm) VsSetWavelengthAndWaves(vsHnd, wl, waveplateVector) Auxiliary commands VsGetAllDrive(vsHnd, *pStages, drive[]) VsGetNstages(vsHnd, *pStages) VsGetPendingReply(vsHnd, reply, nChars, *pQuit, firstMs, subsequentMs) VsGetReply(vsHnd, reply, nChars, waitMs) VsIsDiagnostic(vsHnd) VsIsEngagedInBeam(vsHnd) VsSendBinary(vsHnd, bin[], nChars, clearEcho) VsSendCommand(vsHnd, cmd, sendEolChar) VsSetStageDrive(vsHnd, stage, drive) VsThermistorCounts(vsHnd, *pCounts) Alphabetical list of function calls Syntax Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used: VSDRVR_API Int32 VsOpen( VS_HANDLE *vsHnd, LPCSTR port, Int32 *pErrorCode ) Bold text is used for function names Italics indicate variables whose names (or values) are supplied by the user in their code Name-mangling The declaration file vsdrvr.h includes statements that render the API names accurately in a C++ environment, i.e. free of the name-mangling decoration suffix that is normally added by C++ compilers. Thus the functions can be called freely from either C or C++ programs, using the names exactly as shown in this manual or in the VsDrvr.h file. Call and argument declarations The call protocol type, VSDRVR_API, is declared in vsdrvr.h, as are the types Int32 and VS_HANDLE. Errors All functions return an Int32 status value, which is TRUE if the routine completed successfully and FALSE if there was an error. If there is an error in the VsOpen() function, the error is returned in *pErrorCode. If there is an error in communicating with a filter after a successful VsOpen(), one should use the VsGetError() function to obtain the specific error code involved. This function returns VSD_ERR_NOERROR if there is no error pending. Main and auxiliary functions The next section provides a description of the main functions, in alphabetic order; followed by the auxiliary functions, also in alphabetical order. In normal use, one will probably have no need for the auxiliary functions, but this list is provided for completeness. VSDRVR_API Int32 VsClearError( VS_HANDLE vsHnd ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() Purpose: this function clears any pending error on the VariSpec. This resets the error LED on the filter, and sets the pending error to VS_ERR_NOERROR. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: noneVSDRVR_API Int32 VsClearPalette( VS_HANDLE vsHnd ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() Function: clears all elements of the current filter palette and renders the current palette element undefined. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none VSDRVR_API Int32 VsClearPendingCommands( VS_HANDLE vsHnd ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() Function: clears all pending commands including any presently in-process Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none VSDRVR_API Int32 VsClose( VS_HANDLE vsHnd ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen(). May also be NULL, in which case all VariSpec filters are disconnected. Function: Disconnects the filter. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: No other functions will work until VsOpen() is called to re-establish communications with the filter. VSDRVR_API Int32 VsDefinePalette( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 palEntry, double wl) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() palEntry palette entry to be defined, in the range [0, 127] wl wavelength associated with this palette entry Function: creates a palette entry for the entry and wavelength specified. This palette entry can then be accessed using VsSetPalette() and VsGetPalette() functions. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: palettes provide a fast way to define filter settings for wavelengths that are to be repeatedly accessed. The calculations are performed once, at the time the palette element is defined, and the results are saved in a palette table to tune to that wavelength without repeating the underlying calculations. And, one may cycle through the palette table, once defined, by means of TTL a trigger signal to the filter electronics. For more information about using palettes, consult the VariSpec user抯 manual. VSDRVR_API Int32 VsEnableImplicitPalette( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, BOOL imlEnabled) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() implEnabled selects whether to use implicit palette definition Function: enables or disables implicit palette generation when wavelengths are defined using the VsSetWavelength function. If enabled, a new palette entry is created whenever a new wavelength is accessed, and the VsSetWavelength function will use this palette entry whenever that wavelength is accessed again, until the palette is cleared. The result is improved tuning speed; however, it means that the palette contents are altered dynamically, which can be a problem if one relies upon the palette contents remaining fixed. Clearing the palette with VsClearPalette() will clear all implicit palette entries as well as explicitly defined palette entries. This is useful if one knows that wavelengths used previously will not be used again, or that a new set of wavelengths is about to be defined and one wishes to make sure there is sufficient room in the palette. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: By default, the implicit palette is enabled for VariSpec filters that have RS-232 interface, and is disabled for newer VariSpec filters that have the USB interface. This is because the newer filters perform the filter tuning calculations fast enough that no performance improvement is obtained by using the implicit palette to set wavelength. For more information about using palettes, consult the VariSpec user抯 manual. VSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetError( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 *pErr) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pErr pointer to the int that will receive the most recent error code Purpose: this function clears any pending error on the VariSpec. This resets the error LED on the filter, and sets the pending error to VS_ERR_NOERROR. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: noneVSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetFilterIdentity( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 *pVer, Int32 *pSerno, double *pminWl, double *pmaxWl ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pVer pointer to variable that receives the filter firmware version pSerno pointer to variable that receives the filter serial number pminWl pointer to variable that receives the filter抯 minimum wavelength pmaxWl pointer to variable that receives the filter抯 maximum wavelength Purpose: this function reads the filter抯 information using the VariSpec 慥?command, and puts it to the call variables. Any one of the pointers may be NULL, in which case that piece of information is not returned. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none VSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetMode( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 *pMode ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pMode pointer to variable that receives the filter mode Purpose: this function enables one to read the filter抯 present mode. The mode describes how the filter responds to hardware triggers, and is described in the filter manual. If the pointer *pMode is NULL, no information is returned. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none VSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetPalette( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 *ppalEntry ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() ppalEntry pointer to int that receives the 0-based palette entry number. This pointer may not be NULL. Purpose: this function determines what palette entry is currently active and returns it to *ppalEntry. If the present palette entry is undefined, it sets *ppalEntry to ? and returns a successful status code. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: noneVSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetSettleMs( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 *pSettleMs ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pSettleMs pointer to variable that receives the filter settling time Purpose: this function returns the filter抯 settling time, in milliseconds. This is useful for establishing overall system timing. The settling time is defined as beginning at the moment that the electronics have processed the request to change wavelength, as determined by VsIsReady() or equivalent. At that moment, the new set of drive signals are applied to the optics, and the optics will settle in *psettleMs milliseconds. The settling time is defined as a 95% settling time, meaning the filter has settled to 95% of its ultimate transmission value at the new wavelength being tuned to. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none VSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetTemperature( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, double *pTemperature ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pTemperature pointer to double that will receive the filter temperature, in C This pointer may not be NULL Purpose: this function determines the filter temperature using the VariSpec 慪?command, and puts the result to *pTemperature. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: noneVSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetWavelength( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, double *pwl ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pwl pointer to double that will receive the filter wavelength, in nm This pointer may not be NULL Purpose: this function determines the current filter wavelength and returns it to *pwl. If the present wavelength is undefined, it sets *pwl to ? and returns a successful status code. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none VSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetWavelengthAndWaves( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, double *pwl, double *pwaves ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pwl pointer to double that will receive the filter wavelength, in nm. This pointer may not be NULL pwaves pointer to double array that will receive one or more waveplate settings. The actual number of settings may be determined by VsGetWaveplateStages(). Purpose: this function determines the current filter wavelength and returns it to *pwl. If the present wavelength is undefined, it sets *pwl to ? and returns a successful status code. If the present wavelength is defined, it also returns the waves of retardance at each of the polarization analysis waveplates in the optics, in the pwaves[] array. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: See the description of the VsGetWaveplateStages() command for more detail on what stages are considered waveplates. VSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetWaveplateLimits( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, double *pminWaves, double *pmaxWaves ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pminWaves pointer to double array that will receive the minimum retardances possible at each of the waveplate stages in the filter optics. pmaxWaves pointer to double array that will receive the maximum retardances possible at each of the waveplate stages in the filter optics Purpose: this function determines the range of retardances that are possible at each waveplate stage, in waves, at the present wavelength setting. Note that the retardance range is itself a function of wavelength, so the results will vary as the wavelength is changed. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: See the description of the VsGetWaveplateStages command for more detail on what stages are considered waveplates. VSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetWaveplateStages( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 *pnwpStages ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pnwpStages pointer to Int32 that will receive the number of waveplate stages in the filter optics. This pointer may not be NULL Purpose: this function determines how many polarization analysis stages are present in the optics and returns this number. Note that although all VariSpec filters operate by means of variable retarder element, optical stages that perform wavelength tuning rather than polarization analysis are not treated as waveplate stages. For example, most VariSpec filters do not include any polarization analysis stages and thus report no waveplates. VsGetWaveplateStages will return a value of 2 for conventional PolScope optics. In contrast, VsGetNstages() reports the total number of stages in a filter, including stages that perform polarization analysis and stages that perform wavelength tuning. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none VSDRVR_API Int32 VsIsPresent( VS_HANDLE vsHnd ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() Function: determines whether a filter is actually present and responding. This is done using the status-check character ??as described in the VariSpec manual. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none VSDRVR_API Int32 VsIsReady( VS_HANDLE vsHnd ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() Function: determines whether the filter is done processing all commands, and is ready to receive new commands. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: this is useful when sending commands such as VsSetWavelength(), VsInitialize(), VsExercise(), and VsDefinePaletteEntry() in asynchronous mode. These commands take a prolonged time, and running them synchronously ties up the processor waiting. Alternatively, one can create a loop that uses CreateWaitableTimer(), SetWaitableTimer(), and WaitForSingleObject() to call VsIsReady() at intervals, checking whether the filter is ready. This approach, though more work for the programmer, leaves most of the processor capacity free for other tasks such as GUI update and the like. VSDRVR_API Int32 VsOpen (VS_HANDLE *pvsHnd, LPCSTR port, Int32 *pErrorCode ) Arguments: pvsHnd pointer to handle. This pointer may not be NULL. port port name, such as 揅OM1? pErrorCode pointer to Int32 to receive an error code if VsOpen() fails Purpose: establishes a connection to the VariSpec using the port specified, and automatically determines the baud rate and end-of-line character for subsequent communications. It also retrieves the filter抯 serial number and wavelength range, to confirm that it is a VariSpec and not some other similar device. However, these are retrieved purely as an integrity check, and the values are not returned to the calling application. See VsGetFilterInfo() to access this information. If the device responds as a VariSpec does when it is not ready (i.e. still initializing), VsOpen() fails and returns the error code VSD_ERR_BUSY. However, one may not be sure that the device is a VariSpec until VsOpen() completes successfully The error codes returned by this function are listed in VsDrvr.h. When VsOpen() runs successfully, *pErrorCode is set to VSD_ERR_NOERROR. The handle associated with this filter is set by VsOpen() to a nonzero handle value if successful, or to NULL if no connection is established. The port may refer to COM1 through COM8. Return: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: Until this function is called, none of the other functions will work. VSDRVR_API Int32 VsSetLatency( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 latencyMs ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() latencyMs the serial port latency, in ms, in the range [1, 5000] Purpose: this function sets the latency time for USB or RS-232 commands to the value given by latencyMs. Commands that do not conclude in this time are considered to have timed-out. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: increasing the latency time does not increase the time for commands to complete, nor does it insert any delays in normal processing. It merely defines the window for maximum transmission time, beyond which time an error is reported. VSDRVR_API Int32 VsSetPalette( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 palEntry ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() palEntry the palette entry to be set, in the range [0, 127] Purpose: this function sets the filter to the palette entry specified by palEntry Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: palettes are a good way to control the filter in applications where it will be cycled repeatedly to various, fixed wavelength settings. Palettes calculate the filter settings once, and save the results for rapid access later, rather than calculating them each time, as occurs when one sets the wavelength directly with VsSetWavelength(). See the VariSpec manual for more information on palettes.VSDRVR_API Int32 VsSetRetries( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 nRetries ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() nRetries the number serial communications retries, in the range [0, 10] Purpose: The VsDrvr software automatically detects errors in communication and re-sends if an error is detected. This function sets the number of times to retry sending any single command, before reporting a communications failure. The default is 3, which should be adequate, and one should rarely need to change this, if ever. The primary purpose of this function is to enable setting the number of retries to zero, to force single-error events to cause detectable errors (as they would normally be fixed automatically via the retry mechanism) Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: noneVSDRVR_API Int32 VsSetWavelength( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, double wl, BOOL confirm ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() wl wavelength to tune to, in nm confirm logical flag, indicating whether to confirm actual wavelength value Purpose: this function sets the filter wavelength to the value in wl. If confirm is TRUE, it waits for the filter to complete the command, and then reads back the actual wavelength to confirm it was implemented successfully. Note that the only time there can be a disparity is when the wavelength requested by wl lies outside the legal range for that filter, or if the wavelength is specified to a finer resolution than the filter recognizes (normally, 0.01 nm). Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: noneVSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetAllDrive( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 *pStages, Int32 drive[] ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pStages pointer to int that will receive the number of stages in the filter drive[] int array to receive the filter drive levels. Purpose: this function reports the number of filter stages in *pStages. If this argument is NULL, it is ignored. The function returns the actual drive level at each stage, in counts, in drive[] , which must not be NULL. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: The array drive[] must be large enough to receive all the drive levels ?if the exact number of stages is not known, call VsGetNstages() first, or allocate enough array elements (12) to accommodate the largest filter design.VSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetNstages( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 *pStages ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pStages pointer to int that will receive the number of stages in the filter Purpose: this function determines the number of optical stages in the filter and returns it in *pStages, which may not be NULL. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: noneVSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetPendingReply( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, LPSTR reply, Int32 nChars, Int32 *pQuit, Int32 firstMs, Int32 subsequentMs ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() reply pointer to buffer that is to receive the reply nChars number of characters to receive pQuit pointer to flag to control this function ?see Notes below firstMs maximum time to wait, in ms, for first character of reply subsequentMs maximum time to wait, in ms, for each subsequent character Purpose: this function is used to exploit some of the less-common aspects of the filter, and it is likely that most programs will require its use. It receives a reply from the filter that may not arrive for a long time. The routine waits up to firstMs for the first character to arrive. Subsequent characters must arrive within subsequentMs of one another. Typically, this routine is called with a high value for firstMs and a lower value for subsequentMs. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: pQuit can be used to cancel this function while it is waiting for the reply, if that is desired, such as to respond to a user cancellation request. To use this feature, pQuit must be non-NULL and *pQuit must be FALSE at the time VsGetPendingReply() is called. VsGetPendingReply() checks this address periodically, and if it discovers that *pQuit is TRUE, it will cancel and return immediately.VSDRVR_API Int32 VsGetReply( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, LPSTR reply, Int32 nChars, Int32 waitMs ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() reply pointer to buffer that will receive the filter reply nChars the number of characters sought waitMs the maximum time, in ms, to wait for the reply Purpose: this function is used to exploit those filter commands that are not directly provided by other functions, and most programmers will not need to use it. If the reply is not received in the time indicated by waitMs, or if less than nChars are received, the function returns with an unsuccessful status code. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: noneVSDRVR_API Int32 VsIsDiagnostic( VS_HANDLE vsHnd ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() Function: determines whether the filter is in the diagnostic mode that is used at the factory for setup and calibration. This command is reserved for CRI use only. Returns: TRUE if diagnostic, FALSE otherwise. VSDRVR_API Int32 VsIsEngagedInBeam( VS_HANDLE vsHnd ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() Function: determines whether the filter is engaged in the beam, when configured into certain CRI systems. This function is reserved for CRI use only Returns: TRUE if engaged in the beam, FALSE otherwise VSDRVR_API Int32 VsSendBinary( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, char *bin, Int32 nChars, BOOL clearEcho ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() bin pointer a buffer that contains binary data to be sent to the filter nChars the number of binary characters to be sent clearEcho flag indicating whether to clear echo characters from the queue Purpose: this routine sends binary blocks of data to the filter. This is only necessary when programming calibration data to the filter, and it is not anticipated that this function will be necessary in any normal use. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none VSDRVR_API Int32 VsSendCommand( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, LPCSTR cmd, BOOL sendEolChar) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() cmd pointer to the command to be sent to the filter sendEolChar flag indicating whether to append the end-of-line character or not Purpose: this function sends the command in cmd to the filter, and appends an end-of-line terminator (or not) based on sendEolChar. It automatically retrieves and discards the character echo of this command by the VariSpec. It does not automatically retrieve the reply, if any, from the VariSpec. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: The parameter sendEolChar should normally be true in all cases, unless one is sending individual character commands such as the ??or 慇?commands described in the VariSpec user抯 manual.VSDRVR_API Int32 VsSetStageDrive( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 stage, Int32 drive ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() stage stage number whose drive level is to be adjusted drive drive level, in counts, for that stage Purpose: this function provides a way to manually adjust the drive levels at each of the filter抯 optical stages. It is normally used only during manufacture, and is not a function that most software programs will have any reason to use. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none VSDRVR_API Int32 VsThermistorCounts( VS_HANDLE vsHnd, Int32 *pCounts ) Arguments: vsHnd handle value returned by VsOpen() pCounts pointer to int that will receive the thermistor signal, in counts Purpose: this function provides a way to determine the signal level, in counts, at the thermistor. It is normally used only during manufacture, and is not a function that most software programs will have any reason to use. Returns: TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise Notes: none
