als take a look at EntityDac (Beta state now), it will be a competitor for Aurelius http://www.devart.com/entitydac/ In the Devart-forums you can find a short comparison of EntityDac and Aurelius.

Post it in the "Sample Projects" part of this forum, please. Maybe interesting for other developers.

thank you very much for your detailed explanation. I also agree that in some business users expect a "nice" interface, but in other business they don`t. F.e. in the account department a VCL looking interface is ok, but when showing customers an application on the IPad or on a presentation screen in a sales process they expect something as in your screenshot, more web looking. There we need to build our own interface, our own buttons, our own menu, and so own. Its a bit of work, but with the help of some topics here in the forum, the demo projects of UniGUI and many hours one can handle it.

important information, maybe something for the unigui docs.

Here is a rewriter for IIS which promises to be Apache mod_rewrite compatible: http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/ (did not installed it yet, but sounds interesting )

mh, I think first step would be a mature UniGUI for which you can buy a license with source.

1. add a calculated field of type string and f.e. size 80. If you have a field "aktiv" with type integer name the new field "calc_aktiv" or what you like. 2. In the OnGetText event of this new field manage the HTML-output for the image: procedure TDataModule1.Query_KontaktListcalc_aktivGetText(Sender: TField; var Text: string; DisplayText: Boolean); begin with sender.Dataset do begin case fieldbyname('aktiv').value of 0: text:= '<img width=16 height=16 src="/images/res_red.bmp"/>'; 1: text:= '<img width=16 height=16 src="/images/res_green.bmp"/>'; end; end; end; 3. Add a column to your grid with the field "calc_aktiv".

I searched the forum some time now but did not find a solution: how to change the background color and text color of all TUniBitBtn (using theme Neptune)? So of all buttons used in the application, not a specific one, thats said changing the default layout of the theme. From this button (default Neptune): to this button: I found something from famous ExtJS-Guru "Delphi Developer" in this forum to change the fontsize of a pagecontrol: UniSession.AddJS('Ext.select(''.x-tab-default .x-tab-inner'').setStyle(''font-size'',''9px'');'); but how to change background color and text color of the TUniBitBtn? Best Regards Peter

how can I drop the caption bar with theme neptune? So that there is on top only a small border around the form, just like on the left, right and bottom side. screenshot below. Best Regards Peter

List & Label from Combit is one. Full featured and "UniGUI web ready", but if you want it to use in web projects, its heavy priced. I will use it in an upcoming project, because it has some unique features, a designer which is mainly "page based" and very good PDF export (uses integrated WPDF from WPCubed). Only 64bit, because there are some (Microsoft based) problems with 32bit applications on 64 bit servers with List & Label.

The defined timeout of UniGUI Isapi progs seems to not work as expected. I did the following test with some browsers on the following clients and a defined timeout of 30 minutes: 1. IPad: timeout ok after defined time 2. Samsung Galaxy: timeout ok after defined time 3. Apple MacBook Air/Safari: timeout ok after defined time 4. Windows 7/32 Firefox and Chrome: no timeout at all after 24h 5. Windows XP and Firefox: no timeout at all after 24h I wonder if anyone else did also experienced that UniGUI apps did not timeout as expected on some clients? Best Regards Peter

obviously nothing . You are not the first to ask for examples of a real world application under heavy traffic built with UniGUI. And I doubt that you will find much responses here as long as UniGUI is in beta state.

well, logged in 2012...... any solution or news about this report? Best Regards Peter

Nirlan reported in another thread that he has problems with an application and more than 70 forms, 64bit. On 32bit all works fine. Is your project a 32bit application?

interesting for everyone with a growing project.... can you describe the layout of your application a bit more, do you use 70 forms or do you use a combination of forms/frames layout?

well, wrong section in this forum, but: I can confirm that some sessions do not expire from time to time. Just today I can keep on working with an UniGUI app which I started the session 24h ago and kept the browser window open..... most of the time the sessions do expire as expected, but sometimes not. Sorry to have no solution for that. Best Regards Peter

try to use another DB system with the same UniGUI program as you used with DBIsam and see if the problem is related to DBIsam. I had some problems with DBIsam (the DBIsam server did not saved the data when posting) and changed to Firebird/IBDac (never wanted to do that, because I like DBIsam a lot....). The same program, only changed the DB part - and everything is fine now. Best Regards Peter

the classic stress tools do something like stressing a static html page. So that you put the URL in the tool, and then simulate more and more users. Its ok for PHP programmers. For ExtJS its a different thing. If you do it right, you use an automation tool which simulates user input and maybe also can handle some local database stuff to simulate some random data input. There are not so many automation tools which handle ExtJS applications also with uploading, downloading, PDF creating and downloading (in a second tab?), handling popup windows and all the stuff real users can do with your application. One may be Sahi (http://sahi.co.in/), I am not sure if the OS version is offered any more. With the pro version it seems you can stress your application from many clients in parallel. I do not use Sahi, I am looking for some weeks now to get a consultant which knows to build the scripts for testing some applications, but its not so easy to get some because Sahi is not so common in the automation test business like other automation tools. Best Regards Peter

UniGUI is somewhat matured now, but how do you know your nice looking application stands rock solid in the real web world? What happens when x users are heavily using your system? And does the db implementation do the job just like it should? Are you sure that the PDF creating is not resonsible for eating the memory of your server in very short time? Well, all of this questions can be answered with automation tests for your UniGUI applications. I found the following tools promising: http://sahi.co.in/ http://www.cogitek.com/riatest/features/technologies/extjs.html http://docs.seleniumhq.org/ http://www.bryntum.com/products/siesta/ http://html5robot.com/ Does anyone use one of them and can recommend it? I think an easy way to automate is recording a session, manipulating the resulting code as needed (f.e. for random data access/input) and then playback the sessions on different workstations for a good time. Any discussion about UniGUI/Ajax/ExtJS automation tools is welcome Best Regards Peter

if its only for nice messages which shows up for a few seconds(or until the user moves the mouse) , take a look at humanejs notification system: http://forums.unigui.com/index.php?/topic/1808-humanejs-notification-system-for-unigui/ works great in my actual test project.

there is a "filter"-property in the UniGUI file upload components, but it does seem to have no effect on filtering file extensions for uploading. Are there any news how to set an extension filter with the standard UniGUI file upload component? Best Regards

I think you can guess: as long as you don`t spend $$$ for the license, you don`t get the source.

I requested the license key twice. And I did not get the licence key. The mails were dropped into my span folder. I think because of the .txt-attachment.... so everyone who requested the license and did not get the key: also take a look in your spam folder

a known bug with firefox.
