Thank you for the reply.

I used MVD's Copy and Delete string functions and solved my issue.
It would be nice to include in MVD more Delphi functions to manipulate string or numbers.

Than you

Make a button that will not be visible.
Use script to click it.
Setup the button to run a report from mvd side panel.
In this setup you can select to quick print with no preview.

Hi does MVD support the LastDelimiter function?
I have a string that I want to search to find the last occurance of the symbol '/'. How can I do this?

I am using this  position := LastDelimiter('/', arrStr[5]);    but I get error.

Thank you
George

Is there a way to run an external program just as getshot.exe above inside an mvd window?

I managed to solve my problem with a timer that checks if a picture has been taken and then loads it into the record. As long as the record window is open it automatically captures any pictures taken with getshot.exe.

Thank you all,
George

Hi to all,

Is there a list of commands that can be used in MVDB to act on files or their properties? For example their is the Openfile command. What other commands exist?

For example how can these commands be included in MVDB : https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rt … tines.html

Thank you,

ehwagner is there a way to automate the loading of the picture taken directly in the record?

At the moment you press the button in Getshots form to take the picture and then you press the Load Img button on the record form to load this picture. Can we do it with 1 click only?

Is Getshot written in MVDB? We could get some nice functionality out of it if we had the source code.

Thanks again,
George

Yes this an example of a preview after the picture is taken.

We need a preview before a picture is taken so that the user will be able to point the camera at the right direction to get the shot.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you

Has someone figured out how to make a preview windows with a capture picture button?

If this is possible it would greatly elevate myvisualdatabase as a development environment for applications that require people to input pictures in their databases such as logistics or wharehousing.

Dimitri please reply if you can.

Thanks for the reply.

The functionality of your script is not suitable for my case.

When someone clicks the button to take a picture a preview windows should open so that the user can aim at what he wants to shoot at. In this windows a capture button would be pressed to acquire the picture. That is what I need.
Can this be accomplished with getshot.exe? What is the syntax for getshot.exe?

Thank you
George

Hi

I want to create a simple database where a field will be a photo.
I want to be able to click on a button next to this field and open the camera of the device I am using to take a picture.
The picture will be saved in the photo field. I do not wish to store a picture saved on the head before. I want to take a new picture at that time with the devices camera.

How can this be done?

Ok I have found the solution.
The button report setup has an option for 'Quick print'. This is the option for direct printing.

Thank you all.

Hi

I have a button to print a report.
When I press the button I get a dialog box from windows to choose some print parameters (printer,number of copies etc) . I have already assigned a printer for the report.
How can I get a direct printing of the report without any dialogue windows appearing?
You can see the windows opening in the attached picture.

Thank you

Thnak you for your reply.

I did not mention that f1 is not a unique field. It is not a primary key.
One way is to include a field that is unique and then execute the statement above and reffering the WHERE clause to this field .

The question was (better stated): how can i edit and update the fields of a record when the table does not have a primary key?

Can I request from the database to give me the record id for the record I am editing? If yes then can I use this reply to issue an sql update statement for the same record?

Thanks again
George

Thank you Derek.

That is what I was searching for. Instead of the search button I will run the code in the form show event.

Thank you for your help.
It is very nice to get answers to questions concerning MVD.
