We have software that is called Dispatch Assist, Dispatch Manager and Mobile Manifest here in Canada. Our original Dispatch Assist program was an Internet waybill and delivery order system for courier companies. customer reports, and queries. My first version was done with Dephi and Intraweb, and DBISAM as the database. In 2014 it was converted to run under Delphi XE and uniGUI. I still use DBISAM as the database that is also proven to be awesome for me. I also evaluated Webbuilder by Elevate Software, which is also a great stable product, however uniGUI had better options, more components for my needs that I can understand in put into place within Delphi. My main application has more than twenty forms and can be easily adapted for us to many other customers that distribute or process product. uniGUI allows developers to make money instead of being at the mercy of having to buy many Delphi upgrades, extra third party components, and extra frequent subscriptions that had disappointing and costly support. I am very happy with this product, and so are my customers. There are some quirks, as with any web application. But those are being worked out. The main reason I stuck with it after evaluation is because of the great support all around, especially from members who share their time here, along with functionality and design. And for me is priced just right. John P. Track Information Systems - Canada

Sorry for not being as clear as I should have. I was referring my existing uniGUI datamodule as a non visual form and not any native Delphi forms. Thanks for the help and quick answer.

I did not realize the link for Sencha Touch download is emailed after the form is filled with our email address. It just took awhile.

I am about to try the mobile version. I am using uniGUI for a web application that has a non-visual form used as data module. I have some special queries, filters and calculated fields that I use in my application. I am wondering if I can use the same form as I have setup for the mobile version, which would make things easier for me to manage since I am connecting to the same data set as my application. John P.

Not sure how to explain this one. I rebuilt my data module with all the table table and query components that I use and it now works. I was using Uni.. grids, labels, edits to begin with. My project has become quite complex. I am thinking something in a data source was not quite right as was suggested. Thanks for all the feedback. John P.

Well that looks nice. Usually I do clean up my code after I get it working but not as nice as you presented. I will be checking everything again, and will try different data sources. Thanks. John P.

Hi Farshad, 1. I am using DBISAM in client-server mode. 2. The second query is from a different query component accessing the same table and I was trying to join two tables in a view but did try just with one table on that other query component (not text) I am referring to. On my first query component I do use many different SQL commands and they all do seem to reset OK when I add many different SQL commands or text on my first query as seen below. My first Query is called QueryWaybill. My second Query component is called QueryRoutes. They are also setup in the very same way as seen below. On another note I cannot use Select * in my SQL text. I have to use Select with the column names as below, which I assumed the way it had to be. Can you comment on this. Var RecNumbers: Integer; begin DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.SQL.clear; DA3DataModule.QryWaybill.SQL.Add ('SELECT Route,Serv_type,ShipmentId,Custcode,Ref,PCE,WGT,Receiver,ShipAddress1,ShipAddress2,'+ 'ShipCity,ShipState,ShipPostalCode,SpecialInstructions,Origin,OriginAddress,OriginCity,OriginPostal,Status, cast(Orderdate as date)'+ 'from shiporders where custcode ='+quotedstr(UniLabelCustcode.Text)+ (' and orderdate >= :FirstDate')+ (' and orderdate <= :LastDate')+(' AND Extract(Hour from orderdate)') + ' between 0 and 24'); DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.ParamByName ( 'FirstDate' ).Asdate; DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.ParamByName ( 'LastDate' ).Asdate; DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.Active := false; DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.Prepare; DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.Close; DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.Params[0].AsDate := Now; DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.Params[1].AsDate := Now+1; Try DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.Active := true; DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.Open; RecNumbers := DA3Datamodule.QryWaybill.recordcount; UniLabelRecords.text := inttostr(RecNumbers) + (' records found for today'); Except On E:Exception do Begin ShowMessage(e.Message); Exit; End; end 3. I will try with just a couple of forms or break into two first. And if it is still a problem I will send over. In the meantime I was just trying to see if anyone else had any similar issues. Thanks for your great support. John P. Track Information Systems - Canada

Hello, I am using uniGUI with Delphi XE, DBISAM and FastReports. I have all my data table and query components in a data module that each form can refer to. The problem that I have is that I can run one query off a table set with many types of queries using various SQL text for my query. Works fantastic. However, I cannot seem to display any data in a second grid on an existing form where I use tabbed pages, nor can I seem to get the results of this second query to display on a grid on a new form with a new grid or into any DB labels or DB edit boxes. I can show in a unilabel how many rows have been affected or the number of rows that are returned from my query. But I cannot see any data. I am wondering what I may be missing or if there are some limitations on using queries, forms, or grids in a project. My projects has about 14 forms. On each form I would like to display data from different queries generated from different tables. If I use a table then it is OK, but not a query. Not sure what I may be missing when one works but not the other, or maybe this is a bug. John P.

Hi, Is there a demo for this? Is it something you will be selling? Where can I find? Can you give more details John P.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone is using uniGUI to capture images or video from a web cam. A demo would be nice. Looking for some general feedback or suggested components that you may be using, and that work well with unGUI. I did see a post from last year but seems to be dated and the programmer was having some trouble with that. John P

Hello, My company currently has two core transportation products written with Delphi and unGUi. The goal is to create and expand a standardized version and internationalize our transportation software for different countries or spoken languages. If you feel you can help with this conversion and development process then I would like to discuss any potential skills or interests that may be of benefit. The idea is to build a support network and show that we have support world-wide. I am seeking four individuals to work with that can assist in these areas. 1. Programming, Support, Documentation, and Marketing. If this may be of interest please prepare a resume or proposal in PDF format for any expressed interest that may fit. Please send to info@trackinfosystems.net. We are taking applications until November 15, 2014. Thank you for any interest. John P. Track Information Systems - Canada

I just ordered mine. I look forward to working with this product. I want to note that I am also interested in hiring licensed uniGUI developers for our series of standardized international transportation software. Maybe you can put a job board where developers can feature their services or jobs. John P Track Information Systems - Canada

Alberto, Thanks, Where have I been? During the spring and summer I work out of my office on another position. Often gone 12 hours per day 5 days per week, so I may somehow missed that bulletin. Hope that answers your question. Which brings me to ask if anyone is interested in doing some piece work with uniGUI, since I am so busy. I have some small easy projects that I would like to get done but just don't have the time. John

Hi Farshad, A bit confused, .96 version was said to be published 2 weeks ago. Is does not show on the download section. Any idea when it may be out. Just trying to do some planning and hoping to resolve some issues with DBISAM as reported before. In my case it is a record pointing DBISAM issue that is preventing me to reprint a Fast Report generated PDF. I cannot seem reprint print from another record I am pointing to, but does work the first time on a new record. And when I do I get server errors. One idea that may resolve my issue is that perhaps I can append my DBISAM record to another database and temp table, or something else that works better UNIGUI, and still keep my core application with DBISAM, which I cannot change. Just wondering what may be the best approach. Anybody have some suggestions? John P.

I get these errors. TUniDBGrid.SetCellValue: Row Mismatch! Plus. Also when I try to navigate or print other reports I get blank results. For some reason I can only print one report that I use to generate a PDF. I can print one instance of a report, from both table but not a query. I am wondering if this problem is being resolved, and if it really is a DBISAM error. I having trouble with my uni db labels not showing the correct records from grid generated from a query when I move up or down records. It seems to go to one and works the first time on the current record. It seems the record pointer is lost or not able to go to another record. And when I try to print another report it shows blank. I am using DBISAM and cannot, or will not switch to any other database. I am using XE, Fast Reports, and DBISAM. and uniGUI 0.95.0.1046 I hope I can get a fix for this. Any help is appreciated. John P.

Is it possible to run a copy of the same applicaton with two different ports? e.g. 8077 8078. I have tried and get a Ajax server error. I am not sure on the mechanics of JS or Ajax. I am wondering if I try to run the same Uniserver application with different port settings. Do I need to keep each application under a separate folder, or can my application with different ports can reside in the same folder with same auxillary files? Or is this even possible right now? Any explanation or other configuration advise is appreciated. John P.

I am using SMI Import tools for reading cell values from a speadsheet. Works for me. You can find them at http://scalabium.com/ John

Hello, I have downloaded the commercial Ext JS package from Sencha. I am overwhelmed with the entire package of folders and files from them. I am not familair with JS at all, but do seem to be picking up on some of it from their site. I cannot understand how to install the Sencha Ext JS package that comes from them. Here there is a nice simple installer created to install Ext JS, but Sencha does not seem to have anything as found here. Hope someone can get me going with this. John P.

Edit - Sorry I did realize there was another forum for this topic. I am about to test a beta version of my own UniGUI application with a customer. I am prepared to buy the Sencha license, and of course will likely purchase uniGUI once you come up with a price (maybe you can give some insight here). My question is, will I have to match the Sencha Ex JS releases with future releases of uniGUI. How will this work. Can you explain if there is anything us developers should be concerned about if I get the Ex JS license now for deployment of our own applications now, or should I hold off until there is an official release. Thanks John P. P.S. I am really liking uniGUI and really appreciate the users of the support group here on the uniGUI forums.

I finally got back to trying to learn how the map demo is done. I am not able to find this map package to try to learn and use the Map demo. I am using XE with version 0.94.0.1024. ''You must install the package unigmap (UniGMapDXXXX.dpk) and a new palette'' JohnP

Thanks. I will try that in the next few days when I get a chance.

Idris, First thank you very much for your replies. It is so great to see others helping each other out in this forum, and another reason why I continue to work with UniGUI. The link the to example you provided wa awsome and that demo is very impressive. However it seems to require ExPascal 14 which I do not have so I am not sure if I should attempt to go there or if it is required to install. For now all I would really like is to get the map demo by UniGUI patched as requested in to my own demo, which I seem to be stuck on, which would be a good way for me to do some other testing. This is where I am stuck and all I want help on for now. John P. John

I tried to copy the Google map demo (just the form and unit) to my own demo program and I get an Ajax Error - google is not defined window pop up when I try to run. There is a lot of script in the window. I did figure out that had to add uniGUIApplication to my uses list and also add Midas for trying on a separate machine. Anybody have the same experience? Not sure what needs to be done to try to patch in another project. Otherwise I can run the demo no problems as is. Any help is appreciated. John P.

I am not able to set the page index value on a Unitabsheet. I am wondering if this is a bug or a property that is simply not in place yet.

I moved from Intrwaweb for many reasons. To get better functionality I found that I had to go to TMS components to work with Intraweb. All this cost a lot of money, especially when you add the cost of Delphi upgrades. It can be a real difficult process just to try to install or upgrade Intraweb and match components with current versions all around. Just trying to install Intraweb at times to a new computer was a very time consuming and painful process. This was just too much grief, too much downtime (most deciding factor), and too much cost for me, so I abandoned Intraweb. So far I have had great success with this UniGUI. I have created an application for the transportation business that works decent using DBISAM as the database. However, I do not believe in putting all my eggs in one basket as the saying goes. I always have a backup alternative in case UniGui fails. What also looks very promising is Elevate Web Builder by Elevate Software. In my opinion if you want to do web driven databases then look at these two options, instead of Intraweb. So far UniGui was able to use components which I already have in place such as DBISAM, Fast Reports to create PDFs. and SMI Import tools by Scalibium software to read Excel files, which is a bit harder to do with Elevate Web Builder, well for me anyway as you are not always in the Delphi IDE, which Web Builder has its own environment. Each have some far better features depending on your needs. Also remember Elevate Software also makes DBISAM and Elevate DB so there may be seamless integration. Right now support is far better at Elevate Software, and I usually get answers from peers within 24 hours, which I am hoping can improve here. As it is now I am working with both UniGui and Web Builder. UniGui is my first choice, Elevate DB is second, and Intraweb would be my last resort even though it may be more stable now, and Intraweb does offer more options for complex or commercial applications but things may change. Again it depends on your needs now and what the customer is willing to pay. John P www.trackinfosystems.net
