Hi Derek,

I tried a Panel and then put a Label within and then put a series of Underlines to make a Horz Divider but the Label disappeared on me and I could not get back to it.  That happened when I tried to shrink both the Label & the Panel, in any case.

I wanted to make both Horizontal & Vertical lines, I presume unless you can enter a hi-bit ALT-### character there are no corner pieces so you can make single line boxes around objects, either.

Have nothing to show at the moment....
Trying to figure out how I want this form I am working to look in the end.

Regards,
Keith

QUESTION... how current is this .dll, is it updated with most current releases of the Sqlite3.dll and will is work properly with
MVD v6.4 and beyond?

OK, I see....

Thanx,
Keith

Derek,

Yes it did fix the problem so the Button would execute the code properly...  it was never on the EditBox code
and if placed there does not seem to cause any issues either ???

Thanx,
Keith

Like the book !!  Gives a new user a jump start.

Have a few Manual Corrections/Suggestions, my latest copy was downloaded on Nov 29, 2020

pg 21 ... identify the TableGrid on Form1
pg 38 ... 2.2.8 [Cancel] Button Form1  s/b frmRent   ???
pg 73 ... Figure 63  and wording start using the word/term Cust where as you have been using Client
exclusively to that point..
pg 74 ... line spacing before "Configuring the frmCustTypeAdd"
pg 90-93 ... the Report Writer uses the term "bands", why change the terminology to "block"?

Follow On thoughts for the book to really finish up the Rent2 example

Introduce the script to:

calculate the date difference between rent start & rent end
use that to calculate total rent rather than user doing that

how to right-align COST column on "Rented Equipment" Report
to dress it up.

Advanced Idea...  Allow for Manual Override of Total Cost ... just an idea.

Keith

Derek,

Thanx for the reply and info... while I was looking at the Function List I just never equated "copy" at being the function I wanted !!

While you might not like this style of programming, my example, can you or anyone explain the oddity here.

//days := 'Sunday   Monday   Tuesday  WednesdayThursday Friday   Saturday ';

days := ''   + format('%9s',['Sunday']) +  format('%9s',['Monday']);
days := days + format('%9s',['Tuesday']) + format('%9s',['Wednesday']);
days := days + format('%9s',['Thursday']) +format('%9s',['Friday']);
days := days + format('%9s',['Saturday']);

ShowMessage('Days String =>' + days +'<=' + IntToStr(Length(days)));
showMessage('Day 5 is Thurs...' +copy(days,((5 * 9)-9)+1,9) +' OR '+
            copy(days,((5 * 9)-9)+1,3));

if you un-comment the first sting (days) this works fine,
however using the format() option the first copy in the final ShowMessage works but the second
one is off by one char.  Even adding a Trim() to the loading of Wednesday does not fix the issue.
Is there something I am missing with either the Copy() or the format() functions?

Regards,
Keith

Found out how to do....

On the Form1 or any form you desire this, look in Properties for  Minimize To Tray...
The only thing that it does not be able to do is Close from the Tray, you have to restore the Form and then Close it.

Brian,

Excellent Example !!

Thanx !!
