INSTALLATION NOTES

===============================================

The following items describe known issues,

behavior, and functionality that can affect

installation of this product. For other

installation issues, including how to remove

the product, see the file INSTALL.TXT at the

root of your CD.

Minimum system requirements

-----------------------------------------------

* Intel Pentium 90 or higher (P166 recommended)

* Microsoft Windows 95, 98,

or NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later

* Memory: 32MB of RAM (64MB or more recommended)

* 80MB hard disk space (Compact install)

* CD drive

* VGA or higher resolution monitor

* Mouse or other pointing device

* Networks supported: Any Microsoft Windows

95, 98, or Windows NT or higher compatible

network

If you've installed Delphi before

-----------------------------------------------

You can install to the same machine (though to

a different location) as another version of the

product. If you want to install to the same

directory as an existing version, uninstall the

existing version first. In either case, you

should back up your IDAPI.CFG file (if one is

present) and any other important data, including

existing projects that you intend to use with

this version.

Uninstall Internet Control Pack

-----------------------------------------------

If you have installed any previous release of

the Microsoft Internet Control Pack, uninstall

that version before installing Delphi.

Installing from a network or shared drive

-----------------------------------------------

If installing from a network or shared drive,

you must map a drive letter to the server and

folder that contains the INSTALL.EXE program

that initiates installation of this product.

Windows 98 users: The directory Browse button

may cause the installation to halt

----------------------------------------------

If installing under Windows 98 with Microsoft

Client for NetWare Networks and the Microsoft

Service for NetWare Directory Services (MSNDS)

network clients:

Installation may exit or stop with a fatal

error message if you click the Browse button

on the directory selection dialog.

Workaround: If you choose not to install to

the default directories, type your directory

choices into the dialog fields, rather than

clicking Browse.

For more information on this problem, see the

following technical articles at the InstallShield

and Microsoft sites:

Search for article Q192249 at:

http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.asp

Search for article Q102400 at:

http://support.installshield.com

InstallShield and Microsoft Outlook 98

--------------------------------------

If Outlook 98 is running when you install Delphi,

InstallShield will hang. We strongly recommend

that you close Outlook 98 and all other Windows

programs before installing Delphi.

Performing a Custom installation

-----------------------------------------------

To conserve disk space, you can perform a custom

installation, selecting only the options you

require. To do so, select the Custom radiobutton

in the Setup Type dialog during installation. Disk

space required for the total custom installation

and individual options is displayed as you select

or deselect options.

Among the options is to install Registry keys only.

This option can be used to repair keys damaged as

a result of a computer crash or to set up sets of

registry keys for different user profiles.

During a Custom install using registry keys only,

you may select to install minimal files. These are

files in the Windows system directory; the option

installs the files and defines the registry keys.

Just-In-Time Debugging

-----------------------------------------------

During installation, you have the option of

updating your Just-In-Time Debugger registry

settings.

If you choose to update your registry, changes

are made to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\

Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AEDebug\Debugger

The key is changed to:

C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi\bin\

bordbg50.exe -aeargs %ld %ld

(where C:\Program Files\Borland\

is the installation directory)

If you do not perform the update during

installation, you get a second chance to update

the registry at program startup. The Just-In-Time

Debugger automatically starts when any program

running on your computer fails. Just-In-Time

debugging and distributed debugging will not work,

however, unless this registry setting is updated.

If you want to preserve your existing AEDebug

settings in case you want to change them back

at a later date, you must follow these steps

BEFORE updating the registry settings:

1. Run Regedit.

2. Select the AEDebug key (noted above).

3. Choose Registry | Export Registry File.

4. Name and save the file containing the AEDebug key.

To restore the AEDebug settings you can:

1. Run Regedit.

2. Choose Registry | Import Registry File.

3. Specify the file in which you saved the AEDebug key.

ABOUT EDITING THE WINDOWS REGISTRY

-----------------------------------------------

Warning:

Registry edits are performed at your own risk.

Several items in this document and in other

parts of the documentation that accompany this

product describe how to edit your Windows

registry. In most cases, we recommend that you

use the Microsoft Regedit tool to perform your

editing. Whatever tool you use, however, you

should, before making any edits, make backups

of your registry and thoroughly familiarize

yourself with the editing tool and the

registry editing process. The registry is a

critical component of your operating system,

and any mistakes made while editing it can

cause your machine to stop functioning.

THIRD-PARTY PRODUCT NOTES

AND KNOWN ISSUES

===============================================

The following items describe issues and problems

you may encounter when using Delphi 5 with other

tools and applications. Additional third-party

and external application issues may also appear

in the "DELPHI 5 KNOWN ISSUES" section.

Installing Microsoft Data Access Components

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise edition only]

If you need to update your Microsoft Data

Access Components (MDAC) to version 2.1.2

after installing Delphi, run MDAC_TYP.EXE

from the \MDAC directory on your Delphi CD.

Uninstalling when McAfee virus scanner active

-----------------------------------------------

Because it normally scans "outbound files"

(such as files being uninstalled), recent

versions of McAfee virus scanner may cause long

delays during Delphi uninstallation. Windows NT

users can switch off this protection option by

right-clicking the VShield icon in the system

tray, choosing Properties, then deselecting

the "Outbound Files" option in the "Scan"

group. Windows 95/98 versions of VShield do not

have the "Outbound Files" option, but users may

speed the uninstall by disabling "System Scan"

directly from the VShield tray icon.

Microsoft ImageList common control

and video drivers

-----------------------------------------------

Some older video drivers (S3 Virge GX, Diamond

Viper, Riva TNT, Matrox Millenium, and others)

have trouble handling the quantity of images

that the Delphi IDE's component palette places

in its internal ImageList control. This can cause

the component icons to appear shifted or corrupted

in the IDE component palette. The solution is to

contact your video card vendor for an updated

video driver. At the time of this writing, all

the video drivers known to exhibit problems with

the Microsoft ImageList control have been updated

with fixes by the video card vendors.

You can also work around this ImageList problem

by reducing or disabling video hardware

acceleration in your Windows configuration

settings. For instructions, consult your operating

system and video hardware documentation.

ActiveX Wizard/licensing issue

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise, Professional editions only]

Delphi does not directly support the licensing

of ActiveX controls for Web deployment.

License package (.LPK) files, which are

required for runtime licensing of ActiveX

controls, can only be generated by

LPK_TOOL.EXE, a utility available in

Microsoft's Internet SDK. For more information

on the license-creation tool and how it is used,

visit http://support.microsoft.com

and search for "LPK".

Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS)

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise, Professional editions only]

If Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) is

installed before Delphi 5 is installed, the

only preparation required is to set MTS POOLING

to TRUE in the Borland Database Engine (BDE)

configuration file. Use the BDE Administrator

to do this. The MTS POOLING setting is in the

System/Init area of the configuration. This

setting enables the BDE to use MTS pooling,

improving the initial connection time when

opening a database and allowing BDE database

connections to participate in MTS transactions.

If MTS is installed after Delphi 5 has been

installed, additional steps must be taken:

1. Copy DISP.DLL from the RUNIMAGE directory

on your Delphi 5 CD into the BDE directory

on the host computer.

2. Issue the following command:

REGSVR32 <BDE directory>\DISP.DLL

3. In Transaction Server Explorer, install the

BDE-MTS package:

a. Right Click on Packages Installed.

b. Choose New | Package.

c. Choose Install pre-built packages.

d. Add file DISP.PAK from the BDE

directory.

4. Set the value of MTS POOLING to True in

the System/Init section of the BDE

configuration.

Microsoft icon cache prevents icon updating

-----------------------------------------------

If running Delphi 5 on a Windows 95 or 98

machine on which Delphi 4 was previously

installed (even if it is no longer present),

the Delphi 4 icon set may persist in its

association to Delphi applications, overriding

the new Delphi 5 icon set. This is a known

problem with Microsoft's icon cache updating

mechanism on Windows 95/98. To read about the

problem and its solution:

1. Visit the Microsoft KnowledgeBase at

http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.asp

2. Choose Search All Microsoft Products from the

listbox.

3. Choose the "Keywords" option.

3. In Search Options (lower part of the page),

choose to search against Titles.

4. Type the phrase "icons randomly change"

(no quotes) into the Question field. The search

should yield a number of article titles, any of

which should lead you to a resolution.

IntelliMouse driver v2.2

-----------------------------------------------

Version 2.2 of the Microsoft IntelliMouse

driver writes an invalid value to the registry

when it is installed. This default value can

cause some applications, including Delphi,

Outlook Express, and Windows Explorer, to

crash. To correct the problem:

1. Use Regedit to locate the key

HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\

Microsoft Input Devices\Mouse

2. If the value of TrayIcon is "ON", edit

the value to make it "TRUE" ("FALSE"

works as well).

ODBC certification

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise and Professional editions only]

DELPHI 5 KNOWN ISSUES

===============================================

For additional late-breaking Delphi 5 usage

notes, see the section "ONLINE HELP

OMISSIONS, CORRECTIONS, AND

CLARIFICATIONS" later in this document.

ADO issues

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise edition only]

When using TADOTable or TADODataSet, an error

may occur when retrieving a list of table names

from Microsoft SQL Server 6.5. To correct the

problem, you must install the latest

SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack (currently 5a),

or update the system catalog as described in

the MDACREADME.TXT file that accompanies

MDAC 2.1.

When using the Filter property on the ADO

dataset components, ADO requires a space

between operators and field names.

For example,field>0 fails, field > 0 works.

You cannot open tables or procedures that

contain mixed case names on Oracle servers

unless the names containing lower case letters

are enclosed in quotation marks. Affects

ADODataSet, ADOCommand, ADOTable, and

ADOStoredProc objects.

The IndexName and Seek methods of TADODataSet

currently only work with the Microsoft Jet 4.0

provider when using a database file created with

Access 2000.

The Oracle provider included with the MDAC runtime

does not support Oracle 8 datatypes (CLOB, BLOB,

NVARCHAR2, NCHAR, etc.).

When using the Merant (Informix 7, 9) provider,

MSADO15.DLL generates an AV when working with

Stored Procedure parameters.

ADO does not support case-sensitive filters

or find operations. Because of this, the

FilterOptions and LocateOptions on the ADO

dataset components do not respect the case

sensitive option and always return case-insensitive

results.

When opening tables or stored procedures on an

Oracle server, you must put double quotes around

any mixed case names as required by the server

("TableName").

When using the ADO Dataset components on a

MIDAS application server, ensure that the

Active property is set to false at design

time to ensure that any Refresh after

an update will return the correct data.

When using the TParameters.CreateParameters

method, ADO requires that the size parameter

be set to a value greater than zero if the

value parameter is null.

When using the Microsoft Jet 3.51 provider,

an error will occur if you bind values to

boolean columns using ftBoolean. The problem

is corrected in the 4.0 provider. You can

bind the parameters as ftInteger to workaround

the problem.

When using the pfXML option with the

TADODataSet.SaveToFile method, you

must first install version 5.0 of Internet

Explorer in order to reload the data. The XML

parser which is required to interpret the data

is not included with the 2.1 MDAC runtime.

MIDAS\InternetExpress

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise edition only]

There is a known design-time problem when

building an Internet Express application

that uses a local provider: Each time the project

is reloaded, the XMLBroker Connected property

is reset to False, and you must manually reset

it to True.

When a MIDAS server will not shut down as

expected:

A client Web application may not always be

able to shut down a MIDAS server launched via

an HTTP connection or via DCOM from an

InternetExpress client unless the DCOM user

account is set to "Interactive User" on the

server machine. To set this permission, run

DCOMCNFG.EXE on the server machine, choose

your MIDAS server from among the listed

Applications, press Properties, then

Identities, and select Interactive User. In

subsequent sessions, the server may be shut

down as expected.

"Invalid Filename" is returned trying to

Activate a ClientDataSet when:

-- A MIDAS server has a provider located on a

Novell network; or

-- A ClientDataSet attempts to connect to a

MIDAS server on another machine.

The solution to both of these situations is the

same as that described in the previous note

(set the MIDAS server Application Identity

to "Interactive User").

The Netscape browser does not support XML Islands,

and, as a result, will crash with an out-of-memory

error when the InternetExpress application

accesses MIDAS data with a very large data packet.

This behavior also occurs if using Internet Explorer

without XML Islands support (if using Islands,

it does not occur).

Current versions of the Netscape browser do not

support Unicode. Thus, if you input DBCS

characters into a Dataset field, the characters

will not display correctly in a Netscape

browser. This problem does not occur in

Internet Explorer.

InternetExpress clients accessing multi-byte

character set (MBCS) data from a MIDAS

server will receive the error

"<MBCS fieldname>:name not found in rowset"

unless the MIDAS server is running on an MBCS

operating system.

ActiveX imports

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise and Professional editions only]

If you import an ActiveX control and a _TLB.pas

file already exists with the same name as the

imported control, you are asked if you want to

overwrite the existing _TLB. If you choose to

overwrite and continue, it may appear that the

file was not overwritten (the behavior of what

should have been the overwritten control

remains in effect).

In fact, the overwrite does occur, but the IDE

will not recognize the new control until you

close and then reopen the newly created

_TLB.pas file (without saving it, since you've

already performed the overwrite).

ActiveX imports (Windows 98 only):

Importing certain OLE servers when running

Delphi under Windows 98 will result in the

generation of packages with invalid bitmaps.

These bitmaps will be replaced with the default

Delphi three-object icon when the package is

installed on the component palette.

To get the correct icons, re-import the server

under Windows NT and use the .dcr generated by

that import, rather than the .dcr generated

under Windows 98, when installing the package

onto the palette.

Frames

-----------------------------------------------

Multi-level references and indirect event

calls are not automatically generated in

nested frames. Such multi-level functionality

must be coded separately.

When creating templates from frames make sure

the frame source is saved before creating the

template or adding the frame to the palette.

Doing so will avoid later problems if the frame

is saved under a different name.

When using TChart components and frames on the

same form, changes to the components are not

inherited from frame to frame.

Recommendation: Do not change TChart component

settings when using the components on forms

with frames.

Cached updates and master-detail relationships

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise and Professional editions]

Cached Updates cannot be used effectively with

TQuery components when doing master-detail

links (DataSource property). This is because

the detail query is reexecuted each time the

master record pointer moves.

SQL Explorer and Sybase 11.5

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise edition only]

When SQL Explorer connects to a Sybase 11.5

server, the following problems occur:

-- The server type is shown as

"SYBASE: Unknown Version: Mapping error:

Bad template: SQL Server/([0-9]+)\."

-- If the text tab is selected for a table with

a numeric field, a "Property Precision does

not exist" error message is generated.

-- The server displays only Columns, Indices

and Triggers in table trees.

Workaround for above three problems:

edit DBX.DBI, located in your Delphi5/Bin

directory, and change the line:

SYBASE:IdentityRE=SQL Server/([0-9]+)\.

to (these two lines should be on one line

in the DBI file):

SYBASE:IdentityRE=[sql Server]

[Adaptive Server Enterprise]/([0-9]+)\.

BLOB limitations

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise and Professional editions only]

When using ODBC, BLOB size is limited to

1,000,000 (1 million, not 1 MB) bytes.

Attempting to post a larger record generates an

"Invalid Blob Size" error.

You may experience more severe limitations

using BLOBs with SQL Anywhere. When using

that product, problems have been encountered

when trying to read BLOBs as small as 24-32K

in a dead query.

Images in a TTreeView

-----------------------------------------------

TTreeView cannot repaint a node's image when

its ImageIndex is set outside of

OnGetImageIndex (e.g., in a button click)

and OnGetImageIndex is assigned (if the event

handler is not assigned, it works correctly).

This is due to a limitation in the TreeView

control and is designed to avoid recursion.

A simple workaround is to call

TreeView.Invalidate after setting the

ImageIndex.

RichEdit controls

-----------------------------------------------

If CoInitializeEx is called with

COINIT_MULTITHREADED or CoInitFlags has

been set to COINIT_MULTITHREADED and you

have a form containing a RichEdit control,

creation of the RichEdit control will fail.

If you need to use the RichEdit control in a

multi-threaded OLE server, subclass the control

and override CreateParams in order to set the

correct style.

Overloaded routines and default parameters

-----------------------------------------------

Overloaded routines with default parameters are

not always handled correctly by the compiler.

Overloaded procedures and functions that have

default parameters should be converted to

equivalent routines that are overloaded but do

not use default parameters.

For example, the following code:

procedure Proc1(S: string; I: Integer = 0); overload;

procedure Proc1(F: Float; I: Integer = 0); overload;

should be converted to:

procedure Proc1(S: string); overload;

procedure Proc1(S: string; I: Integer); overload;

procedure Proc1(F: Float); overload;

procedure Proc1(F: Float; I: Integer); overload;

The implementation of Proc1(S: string)

would then be:

procedure Proc1(S: string);

begin

Proc1(S, 0);

end;

Project Browser

-----------------------------------------------

The References page of the Project Browser

finds occurrences of most items, including

properties and global routines, across all

project source files. But it finds occurrences

of a method only in the unit where the method

is declared. This limitation will be removed

in a future release.

Docking issues

-----------------------------------------------

On a dockable form, TreeViews will lose their

items when docking and undocking from a

docksite parented by an MDI form.

Workarounds:

1. Parent the TreeView to something other than

the docking form (such as a panel).

2. Use the TreeView's FloatingDockSiteClass

form as the floating dock host.

Warning: Do not use duplicate menu names

-----------------------------------------------

If a form contains a menu control and all of the

names in the menu control are not unique, an

error will occur if you use the form to create a

new inherited form. The error will occur, for

example, if two or more blank menu items exist.

Menu Shortcut Conflicts

-----------------------------------------------

Menu shortcuts in the IDE may conflict with

system shortcuts and international character key

combinations. If you want to disable the Ctrl+Alt

hot keys in the IDE, set this DWORD registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi\5.0\

Editor\Options\

NoCtrlAltKeys to "1"

BDE and related utility application issues

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise and Professional editions only]

A threading problem occurs if you set the

session property sesCFGMODE2 to cfgmVirtual

and/or cfgmSession (though cfgmPersistent

works). Specifying either of the two noted

settings can cause a GPF in your program.

A mismatch between Oracle client and server

versions can cause BLOB and CLOB access

problems. SQL Links is not certified to

overcome this limitation.

Details: BLOB and CLOB access problems will

be encountered when an Oracle 8.1.5 client

communicates with an Oracle 8.0.4 server.

(Delphi 5 is certified only with the Oracle

8.1.5 client/Oracle 8.1.5 server configuration.)

Using Microsoft Access ODBC driver

version 4.00.3711.08 with Delphi 5 and BDE

causes text field lengths to be reported twice

as long as they actually are. Earlier versions

of the driver do not exhibit this behavior.

Nor does the problem occur when ADO is used.

TStoredProc components that attempt to get an

spParamList value from an invalid stored

procedure will cause an AV in ORACLIENT8.DLL.

To avoid this problem, make sure the procedure

is valid on the server.

Using TQuery with Oracle 8 BLOBs and CLOBs

-----------------------------------------------

Accessing BLOB/CLOB in ORACLE 8 requires a

LOB locator. The SQL statements for inserting

LOBS using TQuery is as follows:

INSERT INTO LOBTAB ( F_BLOB, F_CLOB) VALUES

( EMPTY_BLOB( ), EMPTY_CLOB() ) RETURNING

F_BLOB, F_CLOB INTO :P1, :P2

Here, parameter P1, P2 should be bound as

OraBlob and OraClob, respectively, and the

BLOB values can be assigned to the parameters.

SQL Links internally gets the locators from

the returning clause of the above query and

populates the LOB.

Similarly, an update SQL statement would read:

UPDATE LOBTAB SET F_CLOB = EMPTY_CLOB( )

RETURNING F_CLOB INTO :P1

TQuery parameter binding --

MIDAS and ORACLE 8 CLOB and BLOB fields

-----------------------------------------------

Using Oracle 8.1.5 client/server:

If you attempt to set a CLOB to an empty value,

an AV may result when the CLOB is updated via

a TQuery parameter binding or through MIDAS.

Using Oracle 8.0.4 client/server:

An AV may result if you attempt to insert a new

Record with MIDAS and then call ApplyUpdates

without giving values to CLOB or BLOB fields.

Workaround for both cases:

Use events to guarantee that CLOB and BLOB

fields have a non-null value.

Oracle 8, VARRAYs and ADTs

-----------------------------------------------

[Enterprise, Professional editions only]

An application can crash when opening an

Oracle 8 table that contains a large VARRAY of

ADTs. Oracle recommends using nested tables

instead of VARRAYs when such configurations are

required.

ADDITIONAL COMPATIBILITY NOTES

===============================================

The following items describe compatibility

issues between Delphi 5 and earlier versions of

Delphi, as well as between Delphi 5 and other

products.

NOTE: The information below was confirmed late

in the development process and may not appear

in the online Help system. For a more detailed

discussion of this subject, see "Compatibility

Issues" in the Help Index.

DSGNINTF and deployment

-----------------------------------------------

DSGNINTF.DCU is no longer shipped with Delphi.

Thus, component developers should consider

segregating design-time code into separate units

from runtime code. Runtime code should not refer

to those units.

If this approach is not feasible, you do have the

option of compiling DSGNINTF.PAS (located in

your \source\toolsapi\ directory). This should be

considered a stopgap measure, however, and may

not be available as an option in future releases.

You are also reminded that under the terms of

your license agreement, you are not permitted to

distribute DCUs based on source code owned by

Inprise Corporation, no matter how that code

might be made available to you. For complete

details on licensing restrictions, see the

LICENSE.TXT and DEPLOY.TXT files that accompany

this release.

MIDAS.DLL replaces DBCLIENT.DLL

-----------------------------------------------

When redistributing MIDAS clients, you must

redistribute the new MIDAS.DLL with your

applications. This file replaces DBCLIENT.DLL

as the primary MIDAS support library.

(DBCLIENT.DLL is also supplied to provide

support for earlier versions of MIDAS.)

Functions removed

-----------------------------------------------

The DBError and DBErrorFmt functions no longer

appear in DB.PAS.

Delphi 3 projects need STDVCL32.DLL

-----------------------------------------------

Projects created in Delphi 3 and earlier

releases require the presence of STDVCL32.DLL

to enable their loading into Delphi 5.0. When

the older project is saved in Delphi 5.0, it is

upgraded to use the new STDVCL40.DLL, and the

older library is no longer required.

FIF libraries no longer available

-----------------------------------------------

The FIF libraries that were supplied in the

\INFO\EXTRAS folder on the CDs of previous

Delphi releases are no longer available due to

discontinued development and support by the

vendor, Iterated Systems.

GraphicsServer component no longer included

----------------------------------------------

The GraphicsServer component (GRAPH32.OCX)

that shipped with earlier versions of Delphi

is no longer a part of the product. Information

about the GraphicsServer component is available

from the vendor at http://www.graphicsserver.com/

ONLINE HELP OMISSIONS,

CORRECTIONS, AND CLARIFICATIONS

===============================================

The following items describe late-breaking

features and elements that are either not

covered or require correction or clarification

in the online Help system that ships with

Delphi 5. Most items include a title and

keyword that will help you locate the affected

topics.

Using CORBA

-----------------------------------------------

CORBA applications require an active TCP/IP

stack to operate.

CORBA client and server applications that call

or implement interfaces declaring OleVariants

as method parameters are advised to add

ShareMem as the first unit in the application's

uses list. ShareMem is necessary to manage

memory allocated to hold Pascal long strings.

TADOConnection

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title/keyword: TADOConnection

New published property: KeepConnection

Description: Specifies whether an application

remains connected to a database even if no

datasets are open. For details, see the

similar property description at

TDatabase.KeepConnection

TComponent

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title/keyword: TComponent

New public method: RemoveFreeNotification

Description: Disables destruction notification

after it has been enabled by FreeNotification.

TComponent.ComponentState

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title: TComponent.ComponentState

Keyword: TComponentState type

New value option:

csDesignInstance This is set on TForm, TFrame,

TDataModule, etc. at design

time. It is always set with

csDesigning but, unlike

csDesigning, is not set on the

sub-components. For frames, it is

set on design time frames but not

frames that are registered as

components.

TComServer

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title/keyword: TComServer

New public property: TComServer.UIInteractive

Description: Controls whether the server

displays error messages to the user. Can be set

to False for COM servers running as a service.

TOwnerDrawState type

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title/keyword: TOwnerDrawState type

New optional values:

odHotLight The item is highlighted when

under the cursor ("hot-tracked").

Windows 98/2000.

odInactive Both the item and the window

associated with the menu are

inactive. Windows 98/2000.

odNoAccel Keyboard accelerator cues

(character underscoring) is not

applied when the control is drawn.

Windows 2000.

odNoFocusRect Cues that normally indicate

focus are not applied when the

control is drawn. Windows 2000.

odReserved1 Not used.

odReserved2 Not used.

Updated declaration:

type TOwnerDrawState = set of (odSelected,

odGrayed, odDisabled, odChecked, odFocused,

odDefault, odHotLight, odInactive, odNoAccel,

odNoFocusRect, odReserved1, odReserved2,

odComboBoxEdit);

Additional information:

If you have any code that type-casts the ItemState

field of a DrawItemStruct, you should change the

code accordingly.

Example:

with Message.DrawItemStruct^ do

begin

State := TOwnerDrawState(WordRec(LongRec

(itemState).Lo).Lo);

Should now be:

with Message.DrawItemStruct^ do

begin

State := TOwnerDrawState(LongRec(itemState).Lo);

TQueryTableProducer

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title/keyword: TQueryTableProducer

Limitation note:

TQueryTableProducer works only with TQuery

components. It does not work with TAdoQuery or

TIBQuery.

TAppletModule

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title/keyword: TAppletModule

Events link is missing. To view Help for

events, search "TAppletModule" in the Help

Index. Events (OnActivate, OnInquire,

OnNewInquire, OnStartWParms, OnStop) are listed

along with the object's properties and methods.

Omission: Component Writer's Guide

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title: How do you create components?

Keyword: Creating components

Problem: Missing table

Missing table data:

To: Modify an existing component

Start with this type: Any existing component,

such as TButton or TListBox, or an abstract

component type, such as TCustomListBox

To: Create a windowed control

Start with this type: TWinControl

To: Create a graphic control

Start with this type: TGraphicControl

To: Subclass a Windows control

Start with this type: Any Windows control

To: Create a nonvisual component

Start with this type: TComponent

Clarification: Debugger services

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title: Debugger services

Keyword: service applications, debugging

Step 2 of this topic describes adding a

registry subkey with the full path to the

debugger as the string value, but does not

actually specify the path. The value is:

C:\program files\borland\delphi5\bin\delphi32.exe

Note that "C:\program files\borland\delphi5"

is the default installation folder; if you

installed to a different location, modify the

string as needed.

Error: Code snippet won't compile

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title: Reading and writing strings

Keyword: Strings

The code snippet:

var

fs: TFileStream;

s: string = 'Hello';

should be written as:

var

fs: TFileStream;

const

s: string = 'Hello';

Correction in example topic: ContentType,

ContentStream, SendResponse example

-----------------------------------------------

Accessible from example links in VCL topics:

TISAPIResponse.ContentType,

TISAPIResponse.SendResponse,

TCGIResponse.ContentType,

TCGIResponse.SendResponse,

TWebResponse.ContentStream,

TWebResponse.ContentType,

TWebResponse.SendResponse

The example topic noted above is incorrect in the

online Help file. The corrected code appears

below.

Note: This code segment is part of the

IServer demo project you'll find at

/demos/webserv. The corrected code can be found

in the MAIN.PAS file in that directory.

procedure

TCustomerInfoModule.CustomerInfoModuleGetImageAction

(Sender: TObject; Request: TWebRequest;

Response: TWebResponse; var Handled: Boolean);

var

Jpg: TJpegImage;

S: TMemoryStream;

B: TBitmap;

begin

Jpg := TJpegImage.Create;

try

B := TBitmap.Create;

try

B.Assign(BioLifeGraphic);

Jpg.Assign(B);

finally

B.Free;

end;

S := TMemoryStream.Create;

Jpg.SaveToStream(S);

S.Position := 0;

Response.ContentType := 'image/jpeg';

Response.ContentStream := S;

// do not free the stream because the response

// object will handle that task.

finally

Jpg.Free;

end;

end;

Correction: AutoHotKeys property value

-----------------------------------------------

[WHATSNEW.HLP]

Topic title: Miscellaneous VCL Enhancements

Keyword: VCL,enhancements

Detail:

The topic section "New Help hint and menu features"

states, "Setting the AutoHotKeys property to True

causes the menu to maintain hot keys...remove

duplicate hot keys, and add unique hot keys...."

Correction:

The property value should be maAutomatic, NOT True.

Correction: ValidHotkeys variable

should be ValidMenuHotkeys

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title/keyword: ValidHotkeys variable

Correction: The correct variable name is

ValidMenuHotkeys.

TRegistry.Access enhancement

not noted in "What's New"

-----------------------------------------------

Topic title: TRegistry.Access

Keyword: TRegistry,Access

Detail: TRegistry.Access is a new property that

specifies the level of access to use when

opening keys with TRegistry, TRegistryIniFile,

or TRegIniFile objects. Among the advantages

to using the Access property with those objects

is the ability to read HKLM on Windows NT

machines without Administrator privileges.

See the TRegistry.Access topic for additional

information.

Undocumented: ESafeCall exception

-----------------------------------------------

ESafeCall is raised when a routine has the

safecall calling convention but the application

can't provide the necessary error-handling. For

example, ESafeCall is raised when safecall is

used on a method that is not part of a dual

interface.

If you see this exception, you should either

use the ComObj unit--which handles safecall

correctly--or simply consider not using safecall.

Correction to example in topic:

Supporting state information in remote data modules

-----------------------------------------------

Topic keyword:

incremental fetching, stateless data modules

Corrected code (with changes noted):

TDataModule1.ClientDataSet1BeforeGetRecords(

Sender: TObject; var OwnerData: OleVariant);

var

CurRecord: TBookMark;

begin

with Sender as TClientDataSet do

begin

if not Active then Exit; //added

CurRecord := GetBookmark;

{ save the current record }

try

Last; {locate the last record in the new packet }

OwnerData := FieldValues['Key'];

{ Send key value to the application server }

GotoBookmark(CurRecord);

{ return to current record }

finally

FreeBookmark(CurRecord);

end;

end;

end;

TRemoteDataModule1.Provider1BeforeGetRecords(

Sender: TObject; var OwnerData: OleVariant);

begin

with Sender as TDataSetProvider do // was TProvider

if not VarIsEmpty(OwnerData) then //added

if DataSet.Locate('Key', OwnerData, []) then

DataSet.Next; //added

end;

Comment:

The key elements that distinguish this code from

the example in the Help file are the Active check

on the client, the unassigned variant check

on the provider, and the call to move next past

the located value (without which the last record

of the previous fetch is fetched instead).

Clarification: Converting MIDAS applications

------------------------------------------------

The following is provided to clarify and expand

upon the Help topic entitled "Converting MIDAS

applications". The topic can be found in the

What's New section of the Help system (keyword

"MIDAS, upgrade issues"):

The architecture to support multi-tier database

(MIDAS) servers in stateless environments (such as

MTS) has changed in Delphi 5. This has advantages

over the previous architecture and offers a

significant increase in performance and

scalability by reducing message traffic. You will

need to update your MIDAS 1 and MIDAS 2

applications to work with MIDAS 3.

Follow these steps to convert your MIDAS 1 or

MIDAS 2 applications to MIDAS 3:

1. Open your MIDAS server.

2. View the Type Library.

3. Add the Borland MIDAS type library to the

Uses page of the server library properties.

In the Type Library Editor, select the Uses page,

then right-click and select Show All Type

Libraries.

4. Remove the BdeProv unit from the uses clause

of your remote data module.

5. In the Type Library Editor change the Parent

Interface of your server's interface to IAppServer

(formerly IDataBroker).

6. Write down the name of any property that

returns an IProvider and note any other methods

that use IProvider. IProvider is no longer

supported, so delete all properties that return an

IProvider.

Note: You need to rewrite methods that use

IProvider. These properties are added when you

export a provider and may include custom methods

that use IProvider as well.

7. Save the type library.

8. Open your RemoteDataModule.

9. From the list that you created of old

IProvider properties, make sure you have a

TDataSetProvider for each of those properties. If

any are missing, drop a TDataSetProvider and set

its Name property to the old property name and

connect it to the appropriate dataset. You may

have to change the name of both the dataset and

the TDataSetProvider, since the old name came from

the dataset itself, but now it will come from the

TDataSetProvider.

Note: If porting a MIDAS 1 application, you may

want to take this opportunity to convert your

master detail relations into nested datasets.

10. The provider's Reset method has disappeared.

Any calls to Reset can be changed to

GetRecords(0,Recs, Ord(grReset));

The provider's FetchData method has also gone

away. Replace calls to FetchData with

RowRequest(Packet, Ord(foRecord),EmptyParam);

11. For any TDataSetProvider that you don't want

visible from the client, set TDataSetProvider's

Exported property to False.

12. In the Code Editor delete the same IProvider

properties from the data module that you deleted

from the type library.

13. If your data module is derived from

TDataModule, change it to derive from

TRemoteDataModule.

14. Run the Socket Server and choose

Connections|Registered Objects Only to disable

added socket and web connection security. See

Changes to MIDAS security for information on how

to update your application to include this

security.

15. Recompile the server.

16. Recompile the client.

Refer also to Changes to MIDAS support for

detailed information about the architectural

changes.

Note: Old get/set methods of type IProvider that

you replace with TDataSetProviders do not have to

be reimplemented. It's handled automatically as you

add and implicitly export the TDataSetProviders.

DOCUMENTATION USAGE NOTES

===============================================

Print documentation/PDFs

-----------------------------------------------

The Tutorial section of the Quick Start manual

included in the printed and online

documentation is designed for Delphi Enterprise

and Professional versions only. Other parts of

the QuickStart book are applicable to all

editions of the product.

The complete Quick Start, Developer's Guide,

and Object Pascal Language Guide (OPLG)

sections of your online Help system are also

available in print and Portable Document Format

(PDF) editions. The Quick Start book

accompanies all editions of Delphi, and

the print version of the Developer's Guide is

provided with the Enterprise and Professional

versions only. The Quick Start (QS.PDF) and

Developer's Guide (DG.PDF) PDFs are provided on

your Delphi installation CD (in the folder

/Documentation), and the OPLG PDF is available

for download from the Delphi Documentation Web

site at http://www.borland.com/techpubs/delphi.

The site also provides links to the Borland

E-Commerce area, where you may purchase

additional copies of the Developer's Guide

and the OPLG.

Notes:

-- To read PDFs, you must have the Adobe

Acrobat Reader installed. An installer is

available on the Enterprise and Professional

edition CDs at \IB5\ADOBE\SETUP.EXE).

Standard edition users can obtain the

Reader installation at:

http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html

-- Since online Help is produced later in the

development process than printed books and

PDFs, the Help system will, in many cases,

offer more up-to-date and accurate information

than that found in supplied printed materials.

Windows API index and topics

-----------------------------------------------

Due to limitations in the indexing capabilities

of the Windows Help engine on Windows 95 and

98 machines, Windows API Help topics do not

appear in the Delphi Help index. However, these

topics are available from the Delphi IDE's

context-sensitive Help system; if you select a

Windows API function in the Code editor and

press F1, the appropriate Windows Help topic

will appear. To see an index of Windows API

Help topics, access the Windows API Help

directly from the Help menu.

BDE and other Delphi tools

-----------------------------------------------

To directly access Help for BDE topics

(Enterprise and Professional editions only) and

other Delphi productivity tools, choose Delphi

Tools on your Help menu.

Note: Not all of the specified tools are

included with all editions of Delphi. The main

topic in the Delphi Tools Help file notes

availability of each tool.

Openhelp usage notes

-----------------------------------------------

If you see a red "X" among the items in

Openhelp's Contents, Links, or Index lists, it

simply indicates that the Openhelp project is

referencing files that either do not exist on

your system, are not installed, or do not exist

in your edition of Delphi 5. To remove the item,

right-click on it and choose "Remove Item".

Downloading updated Help system components

-----------------------------------------------

The online Help files that accompany this

release may be updated from time to time to

provide corrections, clarification, additional

examples and other new information. Updates

will be available for download from the Delphi

documentation Web site at

http://www.borland.com/techpubs/delphi

DELPHI ON THE WEB
