It doesnt matter if I add a breakpoint to it or not when the syntax isnt right.

I know you are trying to help, but the error is that of syntax. Ill just try to get help in the VB section. Thanks...

Believe me, I have tried... Many times LizR. Either I don't know how to do debugging effectively, or I am just plain stupid, or a combinatioin of both (the latter is most likely).

This tends to...

ok well, i guess ill take the remaining bit of it to the VB forum. If you are interested in helping me figure out how to parse the proper characters, I think the only problem is a matter of syntax...

i think putting that in actually worked! lol! niiiiiice!

but now im stuff in the data retreival part.. i need to look into that before i ask more questions.... If you care to... you could...

I think you have a good point... But if I dont put them within the "" , it returns an error as follows:

Compile Error:

Expected: expression

If you know of a way for a program written in VB6...

thanks for the help with the watch to see what is happening. It looks like it does connect to the remost host because it returns an ip for that host. but it seems to get stuck in the subroutine. ...

Thanks Lizr,

I dont really know how to find out what I am "getting back" from the program when i run it.

I think the line sub that isnt working right is this one:

Private Sub...

welp i hope someone can help me, i think i jes have the syntax wrong. anyone is certainly welcome to put their 2 cents in. :) Also, wysiwyg... i dont have any public/global variables set for this.

Hello LizR,

The difference is that I dont get anything at all. It doesnt seem to do anything except for sit there checking to see if the info in the code matches the info at the website i have...

First off let me say if this is in the wrong forum i sincerely apologize. Since most people move from VB6 to Delphi, I figured this would be the proper place to put this question.

The code I did...

Thanks Douas,

I'll keep on trying.

plenty of examples on the net for I think pascal version .00000011 hehe

I cant seem to get it to work properly.

Better yet, a component to load binary files into a memo, listview, richedit,...

better yet, why the 5 line restriction.. guiness world record? hehe

oops, Duoas asked why already, my bad...

I did what you suggested (and admittedly feel QUITE STUPID for not thinking of this before posting my question).

WOW at the simplicity of the answers to my problems....

Solved. Thank you Duoas.

What I mean when saying when the program starts is when I "play" the program. There are 2 functions in the code the produce one number. The funcions are in the implementation part of the code.

I...

Actually, I am not doing anything on form create. There is a function or 2 that is being called when the program strarts. So what I did was went to the TButoon's events in the object inspector. ...

I have the button doing the function over and over again, but I did it by saying the the button click should perfom a FormCreate.

This cant be what you meant. can it?

Very big help.. darn syntax... I didnt add () around the edit.text boxes.. that was the problem. :\

Thanks also for the other info regarding not using mterror unless needed. I have also...

so you are saying to write the error code out separately for each edit box?


if edit1.text <= '' then
MessageDlg('whatever goes here',mtError,[mbOK],0)

if edit2.text <= '' then
...

"create a ("utility function") to get the number."

oh Duoas... HAHAHHA!!! cmon now... you know better than this.. lolol

"When your program starts, call the function. When you press the...

I have a new program I am working on and I would like to repeat a portion of code to redo the same thing again, and again.

When the program starts, it will give me a number from my NIC card (I...

Thanks Duoas,

I got it to work perfectly... I had to add tell it what to do when each different command was clicked as well. I thought that was what that different population choices did...

"when your (form creates), assign it to the PopupMenu property of the TTrayIcon."

this is where I am stuck... any chance you could help me? thanks again for all your help :)

what have you done thus far in an effort to make this happen? Arte you using ListView? ListBox? RichText?

Post your code so that I and others might see where you are. Please use the tag...

Hello kamatatul,

It sure wouldnt hurt to mark to problem 'solved' and give this user a reputation point for helping you so quickly..

I dont mean to spam, just hoping that the author of this...

welp, all I can say to what you sent me Duoas is WOW!

What a wonderful way to help me and anyone else that is beginning in programming! Thank you very much for your help kind sir.

I am going...

Scratch the adding of an image to a form... I cannot believe how I didnt see this earlier. That problem is no longer a problem. sigh....

The other question on how to add commands to a systray...

first comment.. ok thanks duoas... :)

1: uhmm.... I have no clue as to how I even begin this... (from the start of what you said to the finish of it.)

2: uhmm.... (what docs?, uhmm... ...

I know this must be painfully simple to do, but I cant seem to find any text that makes sense to me regarding how to actually do it.

Basically I have program "X".

Program X has the TTrayIcon...

Thanks for your help ExplainThat... It was very well written out. I got it worked out without doing all the stuff you did.

Your way certainly works, however. :)

Thanks again!

also,

not trying to be a code nazi here... I just dont know if you know :) No one told me this.

Post your code (which I had to learn when I was new as well) don't put any spaces in between...

Question for you Loyen...

Are you using this program you are trying to write to fill a a user screen with whatever you want it to say?

As in a joke of some sort?

Far be it from me to...

I have one form that is doing a security check. if the serial number or whatever is found, then a button will appear to open the actual program.

Welp, that isnt working out so well.

How do I...

ok Duoas, I have read that about 10 times now over thanksgiving and whatnot and have a pretty good understanding of that now. Thanks for the help there!

Very good information Duoas. Very well...

WOW Duoas! Thank you for all the work you did there! I am reading it, then rereading it.. and them some more...

I will post back when I get this down.

Thanks again! :)

ok i did the following:

lined out
//function StringReverse(const AString : string): string;
because of the error

then this:


procedure TMainForm.ReverseOrderButtonClick(Sender:TObject);

private

function StringReverse(const AString : string): string;



this wont stop giving me the following error:

E2065 Unsatisfied forward or external declaration: 'TMainForm.StringReverse'

How do I get a function to work when I click a Button on my form?


function StringReverse(const AString : string): string;


I thought I was to put this up in private declarations. Then add a...

I have the list capitalizing as it should now.. the code is probably poor, but it works...

I will now work on reversing the items in my listview.. but that will wait until tomorrow, I have...

I found the problem with the capitalization of the first letter.

the line:

Item[1].Caption := s;

should be

Item[i].Caption := s;
