Message from: "Farshad Mohajeri" Hi Jason, Yes, your method seems to work fine. You can set the Interval to 1 ms so it will pop up almost immediately. I will investigate to add a built-in function to block UI when it is needed.

Message from: "Jason Reid" Hi Farshad Thanks for this reply I have come up with a little solution that works ok. Basically I'm "Chaining" events together with a timer so : - I call my "BusyForm" on modal mode when I want to do a lengthy process - OnShow of the "BusyForm" I start a 1 second timer (gives a little delay to actually show the form) - OnTimer I set the timer to inactive and call my lengthy process - After Process is done I close the "BusyForm" That works fairly well. I suppose another option is to run my lengthy process in a new thread ? -- Jason Reid Systems Developer Compucorp Ltd. www.compucorp.co.uk "Farshad Mohajeri" wrote in message news:QKNlWmzNLHA.1608@anaxavps227.anaxa.local... > Hi, > > Yes, that's something that I had in mind too.

Message from: "Oscar Flor" Mr Farshad: How I can do to finish a browser session? Application.Terminate, terminate server application. Best Regards -- .

Message from: "Oscar Flor" Hi Mr Farshad: I noticed that when a session is in a browser, the TUniForm change its ClassName to TUniExtForm. Is there a common ancestor from these two types of form that have the UniApplication property? I'm doing a lookup component and I want to get from the owner of the component the UniApplication property to create dinamically forms and components to make the lookup form. Best Regards -- .

My long term plan is to implement, if not all, most of the features available in Ext JS controls. Since all uniGUI controls should be able to work in both VCL desktop and the Web, I should implement missing VCL features too. I mean those features that are available in Ext JS but not implemented in VCL twin of the component. Displaying images in DBGrid is one of them. .

Message from: "Farshad Mohajeri" Hi, Yes, that's something that I had in mind too. Ext JS works in a fully asynchronous manner. While it is a good thing there are moments when we want things to execute synchronously. There are some options. We can force all AJAX calls to execute synchronously but it is not a good solution because many Ext JS events just work fine in an asynchronous manner. I think it is better to let the developer decide where events should block UI while the execution is in progress. (like your query example) We can use Ext JS MessageBox for this purpose. It has a built-in progress bar. Now, I must develop a mechanism where developer can decide how to activate this feature when it is needed. I added this to issue tracker. I will try to include this in next release.

Message from: "Jason Reid" Hi Farshad. I've spent the weekend playing with UniGui. Thats why I'm posting so much. A question: Is there a way to display an image in a DBGrid ? if not, are you planning on implementing this ? -- Jason Reid Systems Developer Compucorp Ltd. www.compucorp.co.uk .

Message from: "Jason Reid" Hi Farshad I have a little query. How can I implement a progress indicator in my application? I have a main form with various buttons, when you click one of the buttons it goes off and does something which can take a few seconds. I want to disable the main form while it is working to prevent the user from clicking something else and (if possible) display some sort of progress indicator. I have tried to do this using a new modal form with a progress bar on it, but I find that ,my "progress form" only shows after the operation are finished, which doesn't help me much. Thanks -- Jason Reid Systems Developer Compucorp Ltd. www.compucorp.co.uk .

Message from: "Farshad Mohajeri" Some docs are uploaded to unigui website. It covers deployment for now but will be added and improved. .

Message from: "Jason Reid" Hi Farshad I got it working by copying the ext folder into the same folder as my Exe and then setting ExtRoot in the ServerModule to "EXT\" Setting it to blank does not seem to work.

Message from: "Farshad Mohajeri" Hi Jason, Good question. Yes, Ext folder should be deployed along with your EXE. In "ServerModule" there is a property called ExtRoot which defines Path for ExtJS files. (the Ext Folder) Default value for ExtRoot is "[ext]\" which means that Ext files are in their default installation location where uniGUI lib is installed. However, since you won't install uniGUI library on target PC, you must assign a value to ExtRoot which can be a full Path or a relative path. (Relative to ServerRoot) Or, you can simply assign an empty value to ExtRoot which means "Ext" folder is in same folder where your EXE is. This way you only need to copy ext folder to the folder where your EXE resides. "ext" folder is available in [installdir]\FMSoft\Framework\uniGUI\ext Let me know if this works Thanks Farshad "Jason Reid" wrote in message news:yedRZSvLLHA.1604@anaxavps227.anaxa.local... > Hi Farshad > > What files do I need to deploy with my exe (compiled as a VCL standalone > server) > > If I just do a build (without packages) in BDS2006 the web application > wont start. > > Do I need to deploy EXT in a specific location ? > > Are there Dll's needed at all ? .

Message from: "Jason Reid" Hi Farshad What files do I need to deploy with my exe (compiled as a VCL standalone server) If I just do a build (without packages) in BDS2006 the web application wont start. Do I need to deploy EXT in a specific location ? Are there Dll's needed at all ? .

Delphi's default Form inheritance doesn't work for uniGUI. If you analyse a normal unigui Form you'll see that its source code is different than a standard Delphi form. That's why I should implement it to generate correct source Form code. I already started implementing it and I can create inherited forms. It will be available in next release, Thanks Farshad .

Message from: "Hur AKDULGER" Hi Farshad, I saw some questions about "form inheritance" feature of uniGUI in ExtPascal groups. And you answered them as "it will be done in next version". In the nature of VCL+IDE, it should be very easy. What are difficulties about form inheritance for uniGUI? Regards. Hür .
