code illiterate - add text from 5 TEdit to 1

Hi,

try this :

edit6.text := edit1.text + edit2.text + edit3.text + edit4.text + edit5.text;

or even beter this :

edit6.text := '(url=' + edit2.text + '(b)' + edit4.text + '(/b)(/url)';

I used ( instead of square brackets on purpose because we use BB tag on the forum and it confuses it. On your code write them with square brackets.

*** THANKS LOREN you save my donkey. (Equus asinus)

I was trying similar, but nowhere near it, and could have gone on for ever. Like edit6.text := (edit1) + (edit2) + (edit3) + edit4) + (edit5);

And don't you hate it when Delphi says:- EXPECTED ':' but FOUND ';' So, you put in ':' and it stops and says expected ';'

I'm a bit (lot) rusty beginner. Did my projects from looping together code snippets on the Net some years ago. Usual midi player, wav player, text pad, rich text pad, save bookmarks, and on and on. Got some from PC Plus also.

Did this too -- shame on me....

procedure TMainForm.Button1addClick(Sender: TObject);
var
   ebinput1, ebinput2 : string;
begin

codecombine.text := '[.u.r.l.=' + 'ebinput1'  [B]+ '.[.b.].' + [/B][B] 'ebinput2' + '[/B][/.u.r.l].';
end;

I searched every bookstore in Perth, WA and could not find a book on Delphi programming. Even the local agents didn't have an actual copy of Delphi 5, only an empty box.

Been using Delphi since about ver. 2, and what have we learned. Nick it off the Net, because someone has done it all before. ;)

Will try it when I get off the Net, but it looks good, even more the second one, no need to show the other TEdits.

Hi,

One of the best resources on Delphi is the built-in help itself. It is more than a simple language reference.

Same is also valid for Visual Studio .Net

Thanks again -- here is image of program. I'll put the link as well, in case it does not show up. And I think I'll try listing the code, although it may not turn out correctly displayed.

{{NO -- I think it's Firefox 2, check in Internet Explorer 7, and image is OK. Such is life.}}

Have

Form > Miscellaneous
AlphBlend > set to True
AlphaBlendValue > set to 230 (Usually 255)

FormStyle > fsStayOnTop

Visual > BorderIcons > set to biMaximize False

*Change Button text to Bold > does not appear to work? >> nor colour?

I used to have Componet > dsFancyButton ?? also, that makes great looking buttons.

(Put a credit for (Lord) Loren Soth major help in the exe version info. :) Goes well with i8Spooky :) :) )

In days gone by used ASPack to compress my exe's. Reduces size by about 50%.

(This program is for a free forum I set up for BigPond ISP Aust. members.)

** Interesting thing -- I took a screen capture with Irfanview, and it just captured behind the Form!
So, it was the invisable Form. Maybe capture can handle -- Alpha blend???

I changed the Forum Code from end brackets to () like you suggested.

Yes -- just found F1 Delphi help again.

*I couldn't get a scroll bar on the Edit3 (codecombine), but may not need.

XP crashed :evil: -- or FROZE while I was writing this -- had to reboot and drop my Net connection. Luckily Firefox 2 loaded all tabs again, and fortunately the message was still there! :cool:

Oh, oh, better recompile -- looks like I left 'huwStrutils' in.

Little program in Turbo Delphi.

It helps with quickly adding NAME on top of URL LINK. Also END TAGS to images -- without having to select the link in the 'post a topic' window.

Whacked it up on EZ-Files.net for downloading if you want it. Never used them before, so don't know how reliable they are.

It's for bigbillabong forums, but may work in other forums.

****EDIT :: IMPORTANT ;;; FOR MODERATER I'm using Firefox 2.01 and I tried to insert a picture of the program, but it keeps disappearing. Did a quick check in IE7 and there appears to be 3 pictures there. Cut them if you can. Apparently, my Firefox is NOT PERFECT! Does not show images on forum. Sorry for multi ones I see in IE7, but have to go now...

I see every image up there fine in FF2... What's up with your firefox?
