Hi There's a Excel component which i use within my Win32 Delphi application and it's also working perfect for uniGui. In combination with the 'UniSession.SendFile' you can download the Excel file to the customers machine. The component is from Stefan Cruysberghs (Belgium developer) and can be found here: Excel Export component Regards Peter

Hi, That's what i need. That's why i'm thinking of a combination from a uniGui web application and a Windows .exe file which has to be executed from whitin the Unigui application. Creating the FastReport Desginer as a standalone .exe file isn't the problem (is finished) Executing a .exe file from within uniGui works BUT i could only test it on my local machine and where the uniGui apps is started as a .exe file. Couldn't try it as isap.dll FastReport has also a rptdll.dll which can be used, but i don't know if it's the designer, can't find i on my machine If other have solution for this...let's share because more of us are looking for a report designer solution Regards Peter

Hi Nobody a solution for it ? Oke...what if i create a .exe containing the FastReport Designer as a standalone desinger and is it possible to execute a .exe file from within UniGui (ISAPI or Stand-alone server) Regards Peter

Hi Iema, That does the trick...perfect Thanks Peter

Hi, I can't find anything on the forum about a installation error. I use UniGui 0.89 because of the design/ JS EXT issue about uniDBEdit components and maybe it's releated to 0.89 Building the package is no problem, installing the package gives me this error: Cannot load package 'uniTools14'. It contains unit 'uniDateUtils', which is also containted in package uniTools11. Regards Peter

Hi And a Happy Christmas from the Netherlands Regards Peter

Hi Ronak Thanks for the example...this works and is a good idea/solution for some of the tables. There are also 'lookup' tables which contains about 6000 records (cities) where i can't use it. I looked a little bit further on the database server and i saw that a couple of the MySQL tables where MYISAM instead of INNODB...and after changing them there was a performance improvement which can be enough and acceptable. Regards Peter

Hi I'm rebuilding a large Win32 application in UniGui...large because there are about 120 tables and 140 forms. I use lot's of datamodules to keep queries/tables together from some kind of 'function'. Example: There's a datamodule dmMAIN the MyConnection component (DevArt MyDAC) There's a datamodule dmTYPES with 5 tables called TyDocument, TypeRder, TypePayment, TypeRoom, TypeEvent There's a datamodule dmGEO with 2 tables/queries GeoCity, GeoCountry There;s a datamodule dmCONTACT with 3 tables ContactCrew, ContactGuest, ContactArtist The database connection will be set in the dmMMAIN.OnCreate event....which works normally Normally i open the queries in a form when i need them. So there a form called CREW and i have to open dmCONTACT.Crew, dmTYPES.TypeDocument, dmTYPES.TypePayment, dmGEO.City, dmGEO.Country. Some queries are only used for lookup information When i start the apps in VLC mode and open the form the tables are directly openend and the DBnavigator buttons are enabled When i run the apps in WEB mode (local) there's a delay from 8-12 seconds before the DBnavigator buttons are enabled and i can enter/create a new record When i have a form where i open only 1 query then the DBnavigator buttons a directly enabled. What causes this problem or do i have to choose a other approach ? Because of design i need to use the latest 0.89 version. Reason is the design issue with the UniDBEdit HEIGHT. The height from this component is not the same as from the other components and it can't be modified. I know it;s a Ext JS issue. Regards Peter

hi, Well...it's not so difficult to start your first apps: - Start Delphi and then do the following: - File / New / Other / UniGui for Delphi - Application Wizard and do what you normally do in Delphi, gave the project a name and a project directory. - Choose al VCL Applicaton / Standalone server or Isapi if you would like - Click the OK button and your project is ready to start - If you need a DataModule or Form do the same as about File / New / UniGui for Delphi and choose a datamodule or form - Use the ServerModule to create the standalone server or if you would like to change the MainFormDisplay into mfPaAge or mfForm and run the apps and see what happens - Run the apps using F9 like the Delphi way - Start you browser and use: http://localhost:8077 to see you apps Regards Peter

Hi, I was wondering how you give the users the possibility to create his own report. I'm not looking for a technical solution,- there are good FastReport examples (by Ronak) which works great, but i'm looking more how you deal with it. I'm developing several commercial tools where the user may create report for printing labels, badges etx (i use FastReport). The finishing touch is the reporting. I was also thinking about developing a Windows .exe including the FastReport Designer and a connection to the database/website so the user uses this .exe file for creating reports. So how are you facilitate reporting within you're commercial applicatoins: - Are you developing the reports for the user...and if so...has the customer to pay for a report? - Do you store reports into a database or as a file? - Are you using Microsoft Word/Excel for reporting? - Do you have other suggestions? Lot's of questions and i hope other developers have ideas which they would like to share. Regards Peter

Hi, Within the Win32 environment there are vcl components (TMS Securiy System) for building user authorisation or Roled Based Access including access to modules. Are any of you using this kind of components within UniGui and which tools are you suggestion...or building from scratch ? Regards Peter

Hi Farshad/HarryG Thanks for the quick respons, i'm going to try the solution which HarryG posted Regards Peter

Hi, Within my application i registrate employees, every employee has a unique nummer (something like 05432467). The employee needs to upload a copy (scan/image) from his ID card. The FileUpload is not the problem but i would like to upload only images so the employ may only see/filter image files. Because a scan can have any name i also would like to change the name when i upload it. So the images gets the name of the employee nummber, something like 05432467.jpg. To do this i need to extract thee extension because a image can be a .jpg, gif, tif etc. - How to create a filter when the user selects a file for thee upload - How to retrieve the extension from the uploaded file Regards Peter

Hi I have downloade the original file and the example project and don't get it working with version 0.89 I can enter normal character into date field Am i missing something Regards Peter

Thanks Maher for the link/suggestion...i'm going to try it. regards Peter

Hi, I did create a mask for a DBedit field, based on this topic: http://forums.unigui.com/index.php?/topic/2042-help-with-mask/page__p__9087__hl__mask__fromsearch__1&do=findComment&comment=9087Hi But how can i create a more custom message for the user ? Regards Peter

Hi, Within my apps i use MyDac components voor database access and so also the query components. The query components contains the fields and is use 2 time fields On a field it's possible to set the DisplayMask (HH:mm) for time and EditMask (99:99) Then i use the OnSetText event for this field with the following code: procedure TdmArtist.ArtistStageTimeStartSetText(Sender: TField; const Text: string); begin if trim(Text)=':' then Sender.Clear else try Sender.AsDateTime:=StrTotime(Text); except // custom message when the time is invalid raise exception.Create('"'+text+'" is not a valid time or time format!'); end; end; Normally on standard Delphi applications it works. With uniGui i dont get the display/edit mask on a uniDBEdit component. How can i create a edit mask for time and check if it's a valid entered time. Regards Peter

Last time i used Raudus it was extremly slow when putting components on the form...a lot of rendering will be done

Hi Farshad I found the problem...it's a FastReport issue which deletes the delphi library path settings. After i did a new Delphi install followed by FastReport the install removes the path settings After added them manual i could install UniGui Thanks

Hi Farshad, That doesn't help. i have a clean installed pc with Delphi 2007 and all other components i can install. Did a reboot, but still got the some problems....any suggestions? Regards Peter

Hi I was wondering if the installation is the same as version 0.89 because now i got errors when building the packages : SysEdit_R2007: [DCC Error] sysEdit_R2007.dpk(30): E2202 Required package VCL not foun SysEdit_D2007: [DCC Error] sysEdit_D2007.dpk(31): E2202 Required package DESIGNIDE not found uniTools_D2007: [DCC Error] uniTools11.dpk(31): E2202 Required package RTL not found u|Indy11: [DCC Error] uniIndy11.dpk(31): E2202 Required package RTL not found this is for all packages regards Peter

Hi My DataModule contains query components and at the BeforePost i check if the user enters some data...if not a message needs to be showed. This doesn't do the trick: ShowMessage('<br/><br/>You need to choose a PRIORITY!' + '<br/><br/>'); How can i solve this so i can display messages which will be fired form within datamodule. Regards Peter

Hi WebBuilder is only for building client applications which will be used into a browser. At this moment no support for other databases like MySQL, only DBISAM and ElevateDB. At this moment I struggle if 'm going to use UniGui or start over with Visual Studio 2010 for building web application. Our main application is build with Delphi 2007, Raize components, FastReport, MySQL and some additional .dll. I think the most can be build with UniGui but i missing lot's of features in the components like allignment, borderstyle, correct positioning on forms, dbgrid functionality you find them in Raize or http://www.scalabium.com/. Just the things to make a application 'complete or the finishing touch'. Don't misunderstand me, i like UniGui a lot and it has lot's of potention for a Delphi Developer to build web applications. For Delphi and Visual Studio are lots of components/Active X available and i'm not sure if the are all supported by UniGui. I also know that UniGui is at the beginning and Farshad is working very hard to fix the bugs and extend the functionality to create a good framework. The UniGui demo examples and yours on the site gave me a good feeling to start building with UniGui. Maybe i must accept that not all features are compleet at this moment. Developing with UniGui makes the learning-curve a lot easier as start over with Visual Studio Regards Peter

Hi Farshad You may delete the post i forgot the i posted it earlier with the answer about the invisible borders and the solution is to make the panel/groupbox bigger. Pesonaly i don't find it a nice solution because you would like the WYSIWYG methode and because my forms are complex and have lots of obejcts i got a design issue and have 'overlaps' with obejcts. Greetz Peter

Hi Why is there a difference when positioning a object and run the apps in Win and web mode. When i place a object on a panel or groupbox there a difference of the position when running the apps (Win and Web mode). Also when placing a button nearly to the left or right size of a panel/groupbox the last part of the button will not be shown Within uniGui you can change themes and so colors, would be great if it's possible to change colors of borders from object. Regards Peter
