<0> Well, that was interesting.
<0> DaynaGirl: No, that was Anders Ohlson, a borland guy.
<1> k. thanks.
<2> not A Olson? :P
<1> this was announced 5 weeks ago...
<1> I must have missed the change in topic.
<3> um how can I get width of the field... :/
<3> IFieldWidth(FLookFields[i]) <-- this is interbase... in Firebird:/
<1> I've been having troubles with Tortoise SVN. when I commit a change (a large change) it often say things like file already exists...
<1> and after 2 hours uploading files... says commit failed.
<4> vibes: what did you take from that 'chat'. I missed a chunk of it.
<5> define width? And where ?
<1> any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
<3> I want the displaying width Mithandir
<4> to me, from what i heard, they seem a hell of a lot more confortable, and it was less of a job of convincing people things would be OK
<5> uhm ....
<4> much higher level of confidence.
<6> canvas pixels ?
<3> yeah...
<5> for what component ?
<3> that thing I pasted IFieldWidth is from guys who wrote FIBPlus :/
<2> MrB: I'll see where they are in a few years, they have a LOT to do to catch up
<4> how so?
<4> what are they catching up to?
<3> IDBRetrieveData has IFieldWidth, and used to retrieve it so it can set column headers for Virtual Tree.
<5> I don't use FIBPlus sorry
<3> it them multiplies it by 25 :/
<3> heh, never mind :)
<7> or whatever it's called
<7> TpFIBDataset IIRC
<3> Can't find :/
<7> it's a seperate unit
<7> on their website
<3> ah it's in FieldInfo :/
<3> CalleD DisplayWidth :) thanks
<5> ah, but that's in numbe of characters, I think
<7> sure
<5> hence the multiplication by 25
<5> personally I'd multiply with Canvas.TextWidth('O')*1.1
<3> cool, I'll experiment
<7> or W * 1 ? :)
<5> well, O is usually (one of) the widest letter(s)
<3> I can't find the canvas of the TVT header :) **** it, I'll set it fixed
<5> the 1.1 is a margin of uncertainty
<7> It depends a lot on the font
<5> TByte: well, you might get some problems then
<3> yep :( won't be as dynamic if my user decides to select more columns
<5> TByte: was more thinking of thos epeople with Large Fonts enabled
<3> so the DisplayWidth or FieldWidth is quite meaningless without the Font eh.
<5> no
<5> displaywidth is how many characters should be displayed
<3> well, it's useful then.
<7> display width is what you should use
<7> * width of avg char
<5> or of widest char
<5> depending on your aim
<3> Aim is to get nice looking headers in TVirtualStringTree :)
<5> well
<5> that's what AdvancedCustomDraw is for :P
<3> I'm actually writing a DB-aware hack for it, the one I found was way too ****TY from FIBPlus's website... it actually requires additional parameters and fields in my tables, because it uses nodes and children etc :( not what I need.
<7> another enron guy bites the dust
<7> witness this time
<3> ...heh I watched the news :)
<8> Now to see how fast I can cram 300,000 records into a database. I think I'll take a nap, or maybe a NOP....
<7> MS has to pay 280 mln
<5> TByte: there's a DB aware TVirtualStringTree out there
<7> (they really have to pay this time, no excuses)
<3> was fun, Bionic Arm, Zidane Live, Israel invasion, and corruption in british government
<5> ki9a: yup, and 3 million a day starting in august
<7> it's over for them
<7> till they comply.
<3> Mithandir: I've tried it earlier...there're 2, the one for Firebird from FIBPlus is crap... very CRAP
<7> delphi's interfaces for db aware
<3> they claim they only understood what was required of them in April :P
<7> really need rewriting
<3> which is BULL****
<5> Virtual String Tree is a bitch to get data aware tho
<7> Virtual Tree
<3> ki9a wouldn't that mean that your data-aware RemObjects would need rewriting?
<7> is a bitch to get doing anything.
<5> ki9a: point, but more than otherwise
<7> TByte: well yeah. but it would be worth it
<7> the data aware stuff in delphi is based on d1 code
<3> I used VT for years :/ I've not seen anything more flexible...but DB-aware, I don't know... it could be handy with its on-view-retrieval idea
<3> maybe delphi need to remove compatibility with ****ty databases, so it has neater code :P
<3> it has SO MUCH it's overwhelming
<7> nah. it's more that, it all depends on crappy TDataset
<7> which is really crappy
<6> yeah should be DB2 mandatory
<3> I would wish for that to happen now ! I only know one hehe
<7> instead it should be able to load from anything
<7> that implements a specific interface.
<3> "know" was an overstatement :P I barely know SELECT * Table :P
<7> FB can be case sensitive
<7> did you know that?
<3> ki you mean like 1 bare bone interface that covers minimum for every db, then descendants will have to write little more
<5> can be? is by default :)
<7> Mithandir: only if you use quoting :)
<5> no
<7> TByte: 1 interface that could be implemented on say TStringList and any dataset
<7> Mithandir: well technically it's case sensitive
<5> if you define a field name with anything else but full uppercase it becomes case sensitive
<3> ki9a I logged on to news server for devrace (fib+)... some guy was really happy you've added support for FIBPlus in RemObjects...
<7> SHimoda?
<7> I wrote the driver myself for DA
<3> "I'm not ***ociated with RemObjects, but I thought it would be nice to let everyone know that DataAbstract now has full integration with FIB data access components. My preliminary tests show that the 2 products work very well together." :D
<7> who?
<3> Loren Szendre
<7> cool
<7> never heard of him
<3> "xopowo cdelaHo!" was above the name
<6> he's teh man
<3> oh it means well done lol in russian
<3> didn't notice at first :) looks like someone copied one ki9a
<7> ?
<3> Loren surely not a russian name :)
<3> ki9a the guy is a Remobjects user, he goes on further in the email :) so how come you don't know him :)
<7> maybe because his question weren't answered by myself?
<3> I actually meant to ask whether you have a record of him! but it's none of my business, I was just querying, but I better get back to my work :)
<3> before you get irritated
<7> heh
<7> well I'm sure we have
<5> They know EVERYTHING
<7> :)
<7> ssst.
<7> I actually do lookup customers often
<7> when I get questions via email
<5> "lookup" = "show up at their house with a abseball bat"
<7> more like check if they have a license.
<8> Well, took 4 minutes to import 300,000 records without even disabling the indexing.
<3> oh so I won't have much problems with my **** code that will work with 30,000
<5> mjol: into firebird ?
<3> ok I can't access DisplayWidth from anywhere, theres FieldInfo type and TableInfo which has FieldInfo inside, wtf
<5> tried YourObject.Fields[i].displaywidth ?
<3> nope lol that's it
<3> how stupid is ME!!!
<5> very
<7> maybe because a table
<7> has multiple fields
<2> pffft
<2> 1 field is all you need
<2> with a XML file as a blobl
<2> -l
<2> :D
<5> haha
<5> wait till you discover array fields in firebird :P
<7> Mithandir: you ever used those?
<5> I've been too scared of them
<7> same here.
