http://cc.embarcadero.com/ CodeCentral Submissions for Cyril Jandia Here are the missing packages VCLXML50, DCLXML50 from upload #15531.Note these are for illustration purpose of what my article in upload #15531 explains about Custom Modules and Custom Design Surfaces in Delphi's IDE; that is, as far as XML functionnality is concerned, they are far from completion.Hope it helps and/or inspire.Regards,Cyril http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/15551 2001-01-29T21:11:35 2001-01-29T21:11:35 http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/15551 Here are the packages VCLXML50, DCLXML50 and related source files missing from upload #15531.Note these are for illustration purpose of what my article in upload #15531 explains about Custom Modules and Custom Design Surfaces in Delphi's IDE;that is, as far as XML functionnality is concerned, they are far from completion. These will hopefully serves "as seeds" for further, more practical tools w/in the Delphi/Kylix IDE.Hope it helps and/or inspire.Regards,Cyril http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/15548 2001-01-29T17:13:30 2001-01-29T17:13:30 http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/15548 There is no documentation, yet : only source code ; though if you know how Apache modules integrates within the HTTP server (at least, in C) it will not be too difficult to use (see the Apache book from O'Reilly).Please do start w/ Apache.pas before going on w/ the .dpr's/.dpk'sWell, I guess Borland, will do far? much better, anyway.Apache Version=1.3.9Date=16 August 1999Originated=Apache HTTP Server 1.3.9URL=http://www.apache.org/Description=Interface for the Apache HTTP Server APIApache.pas11 December 2000WORK-IN-PROGRESS1.139.00121111 December 2000OriginalFile=httpd.h as of Apache 1.3.9HttpCfg.pas11 December 2000WORK-IN-PROGRESS1.139.00121111 December 2000OriginalFile=http_config.h as of Apache 1.3.9Win31=NOWin95=YESWin98=YESWin2000=???WinNT3=NOWinNT4=YESReq1=Requires Delphi 4 or laterReq2=Requires ApacheCore.dll as of Apache 1.3.9Cyril J.

See the (very basic though proof of concept) demos. Also, be aware there is a performance issue, still, since no effort has yet been devoted to optimization.Last version is 20010123 (further updates will be available at http://www.cjandia.com/)See copying.txt please.Enjoy. http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/15532 2001-01-26T17:13:16 2001-01-26T17:13:16 http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/15532 IDE PackagesIDE packages are feature foundations for the different editions of Delphi.Core IDE packages include CORIDE50.bpl, DPHIDE50.bpl, PROIDE50.bpl, DPHPRO50.bpl, amongst others, in the BINaries.Learn to build them in section 2.Desktop Windows(New support for custom ones in Delphi 5)Examples of desktop windows are: Delphi's main window itself (TAppBuilder), the Object Inspector (TPropertyInspector),the Project Manager (TProjectManager), the Breakpoint List Window (TBPWindow),the Disassembly View Window (TDisassemblyView), etc.Apart from its specific functionality, what makes a desktop window interesting isDelphi automatically saves the window's state as part of the current desktop's.This includes basically its size, its position, whether it is visible or not, and optionally,information about the docking site that hosts it. Section 3,"Desktop Windows", explains you how to build them (optionally dockable), and how to do registration into the IDE.Design Windows(Available since Delphi 1, modified in Delphi 4)Design windows are forms where design-time activities take place.Amongst the most commonly used ones are the form editor and the Object Inspector, obviously.The menu designer, the dataset field editor, and various editors of TCollection-derived objects(e.g., the editor for TStatusPanels) are other examples of design windows.Learn to write them in section 4, "Design Windows". Note this would apply to Delphi 4 as well.Custom Modules(Appeared in Delphi 3, extended in Delphi 5)Custom modules are a powerful design-time constituent of the IDE object model.Delphi 3 introduced them to allow root components that descend from classes other than TForm to be edited usingthe form designer, thus allowing to present their specific published properties in the Object Inspector, andto stream them from/to a .DFM file.Custom modules were one of the requirements to have an elegant implementation of Web Modules(by deriving from TDataModule), used in CGI/ISAPI projects of Delphi 3 Client/Server.They are also useful to implement report components (e.g., TWinControl-derived) in reporting libraries,such as QuickReport. Learn to implement them in section 5, "Custom Modules".Modelling Support(New in Delphi 5)This would deserve an article of its own.For now, have a look at the end of the quick reference and at the "xxxReg" units inDelphi's "Source\Property Editors" directory. http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/15531 2001-01-26T16:32:45 2001-01-26T16:32:45 http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/15531
