<0> unless you're good at it, then you get ellected to office
<1> oh gawd... this is the 'leading edge' of a storm
<1> supposed to stop raining later today... then start up just as bad as this morning again this evening.
<2> there was a virus which instructed people to send money to a PO BOX somewhere in the US.. not surprisingly, the guy was caught..
<1> I wrote a virus once.
<1> I almost got caught.
<1> we blamed my bf's little brother.
<2> what do you mean by almost got caught?
<1> I mean I got hauled into the school office and accused.
<2> ahh.. serves you right :)
<1> but they couldn't prove it was me.
<1> and me and my bf hinted maybe his brother might have done it.
<2> what did it do?
<1> the OS like DOS had exe files to perform certain operations.
<1> this function was DIR
<1> so I replaced dir.exe
<1> it was supposed to copy itself to any other system disks
<1> and delete a random file... 1 in 10,000 listed
<1> however my bf had already rewritten this program to optimise it... and used the same variables that I used
<1> so the odds of deleting a file became 1 in 3
<1> needless to say it started RIGHT away.
<2> nice and malicious then..
<2> i used to write silly little annoying things for my school.. like poping up websites, printing off docs, sending windows messages displaying on each machine in the school..
<2> nothing too hardcore though :)
<3> i wrote some network based thing i installed on every machine
<2> i was young..
<3> gave me full control
<3> i was rebooting people i dispised and copying/deleting files
<3> was fun fun
<2> hehe
<1> we didn't have windows when I was in school
<3> we had windows 3.1
<3> only in my final year did they get 95
<2> we had 95..
<2> although, not when i joined..
<2> '94 i was in year 7.. (first year of this technology college thing i went to)..
<4> I'm basically wanting to take a bitmap and plop it on a form in any way that it will work with the following: i want to draw captions on it at various user defined points
<4> can someone get me pointed in the right direction on that
<4> more or less a building drawing will be uploaded and various parts of the image will be updated with data
<5> canvas.textout
<5> and just load it into a timage
<5> image1.pictures.bitmap.canvas.textout(x, y, 'my text blah blah');
<5> something like that
<5> image1.picture.bitmap, not pictures
<5> the canvas will have all your font properties etc.
<4> thanks
<5> np
<3> he'll bill you at the end of the fiscal month
<6> i am very impressed with express scheduler
<6> very nice control
<6> and surprisingly easy to use compared to some of devex's other components
<7> some?
<7> :)
<7> I like their controls
<7> but sometimes it's just too much
<7> dinner.
<8> Job requirements: Devex control experience (recommended degree: Advanced Theoretical Quantum State Nanocomputing)
<5> guys: I want to derive a new component from one I didn't write but have the source of. Unfortunately the methods I want to modify are not virtual or abstract - what is the best thing for me to do?
<9> uh
<9> hack it
<9> ;)
<8> Kill the guy that wrote it for being an idiot.
<5> the people who made it do alot of updates regularly so I don't really want to modify their original
<8> Then hack it.
<5> heh
<5> he has made one function virtual :(
<8> Yeah, not much looking forward there on his part.
<5> yeah
<6> contact him
<6> ask him to abstract it out or request the features you want
<8> Also, tell him he's a ppig****er.
<6> i don't find devex's stuff too bad
<6> really its just qgrid that is crazy
<6> vgrid isn't bad, scheduler is surprisingly easy, bars are pretty easy
<8> qgrid is my only experience with their components, really :)
<6> qgrid is pretty out there
<6> datacontroller, viewinfo, controller, etc, etc, etc
<6> but once you get the basics down it's easy
<8> I love tyhat there are a few palces where you can go as deep as you wabnt because of the internal circular references :)
<6> course i've never done multi level stuff, or master/detail
<6> ya
<5> ok - I have an idea
<5> is there a way to change a listviews imagelist via api?
<5> I need to do two things: change the image list and specify my own imageindexes on the list items - if I can do that with API I will be fine
<6> http://www.nsoftware.com/ibiz/quickbooks/
<6> thats another product that is impressing me very much
<6> makes it crazy easy to integrate with quickbooks
<6> of course its as much due to them as quickbooks api's, its crazy what you can do and how easily you can do it
<10> Blade^, thanks for that help. I got it working. My applications can now have the gl*** effect. However, there seems to be a slight problem with the rendering, it may be due to delphi 6 that i'm using.
<1> hey guys... didja know that HKEY_CL***ES_ROOT is an alias for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cl***es ??
<11> hell yes
<11> in fact there are only two keys
<11> LM and Users
<1> wish someone told me.
<1> I've been fighting with it for 2 days.
<1> trying to figure out why it changes in both
<12> either that or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cl***es is an alias for HKEY_CL***ES_ROOT
<12> but actually, HKEY_CL***ES_ROOT is more than just an alias for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cl***es
<1> go on...
<12> according to MS
<12> "The content of HKEY_CL***ES_ROOT comes from two sources: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cl***es and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cl***es."
<12> it USE to be just an alias of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cl***es, but it changed in NT 4.0
<1> hmmm wonder how that can be.
<12> you wanna read more on it?
<1> since HKCU overrides HKLM/Software/Cl***es
<12> main reason is because, not everyone has access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
<1> yes
<1> today I am in a learn registery mode
<12> Dayna: probably because you are always logged in as an Admin
<12> which has access to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
<10> How come when I use the listview with the report view style I get an access violation error when using windows xp resource theme?
<13> how to delete on button push selected item from listbox ?
<6> you need to update delphi
<12> Dayna: more 411 -> http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/Library/dd670c1d-2501-4f32-885b-0c6a1ae662f41033.mspx?mfr=true
<10> using delphi6, maybe this is my problem?
<6> or use tthememanager
<6> yes it is your problem
<10> damn, i take it there isn't a free updated version of delphi like delphi6 personal?
<6> use tthememanager
<10> ok, checking it now
<12> [ghost] using Listbox1.Items.Delete() ?
<13> Rahly i try
<13> i will try
<1> milkn: D6 and before has a bug in it. it will not support XP Themes (in the debugger) works in application mode though.
<1> milkn: set a breakpoint and change its properties to no break on the point with the issue.
<13> it works :) thanks
<14> is there a tool that can determine every unit that's required by a delphi project?
<12> well the command line compiler will list all units that are compiled
<1> one day I will write a program that graphically shows the links a program makes amongst units in a project.
<1> I can't tell you how many times I've been trying to break a circular link and couldn't figure out which units were causing the issue... cuz so many units included each other
<15> GExperts has "Project Dependencies" www.gexperts.org
<5> guys - bizarre situation
<5> procedure TOSShellListView.ChangeViewStyle(const AViewStyle: TOSViewStyle);
<5> FOSViewStyle := AViewStyle;
<5> first time I call the function (from the create) it works
<5> second time (from a button) it av's on the ***ignment line
<12> its been destroyed?
<5> nothing is destroying it
<5> TOSViewStyle = (osvsLarge, osvsThumbs, osvsReport);
<12> how sure are you? interfaces?
<5> that is the viewstyle
<5> no interfaces in this component
<12> interfaces will automatically destroy when out of scope
<5> this is not going out of scope
<12> so you are doing ViewStyle := Blah; ViewStyle := Blah; and its erroring?
<8> What ***ignment line avs?
<5> yes
<15> DaynaGirl, I think a good practice to avoid that is to add units to the uses clause in the implementation section; only adding to interface section if really necessary
<5> drk: the second line - FOSViewStyle := AViewStyle;
<12> i think you are doing something funky WraithY, and we can't tell without looking at code
<5> all optimisation is off
