delphi-6

I want to show popup button or fancy message (with coloured background, etc) just under right-bottom corner of particular cell of the current row. For now I only figured how to get grid coordinates: x = DBGrid.DataSource.DataSet.RecNo y = DBGrid.Columns[index] There is also TCustomGrid.CellRect, which would do what I want, but it's protected and I don't want to inherit and create another component class. One crazy workaround I can think of is to save TRect-s in onDrawColumnCell event to some array. So, what do you think ? EDIT How do I get screen coordinates of, say, second cell in the current

With Delphi-6 there are two options: Build and Compile. I know when I run a program it compiles only the files which have changed and uses the DCUs for those which haven't. When I click build apparently it rebuilds the DCUs. What I have been wondering is, when I make a program for release (changing build settings, conditional variables, etc.) can I just compile, or do I have to do a full build? What happens if I don't do a full build, is there any consiquence? Marco van de Voort When build, when compile? The compiler only automatically recompiles units when the datetime stamp of the .pas

I'm working on this project where we don't have the source code for large chunks of the project, but we have the .DLL files with some information. There is a bug in the DLL files. I am able to create a subclass of the class with the bug in it and I would like to downcast the object which already exists at a point I have access to it. The issue is that at any point I have access to the object, it's cast as a Variant. I've tried the following (edited to remove context): tempSubclass := Subclass(ParentClass(Integer(oleVariantCast))); but I get the following error: Could not convert variant of

To get a particular DOM node embedded in the current web document from a TChromium instance, using its ID, you use ICefDomDocument.getElementById(). But how do you find elements by the NAME attribute? Javascript has the document.getElementsByName() method and TWebBrowser (that wraps IE) has a similar call, but I can't figure out how to do this with TChromium. I need to find some DOM elements that have NAME attributes but no ID attributes. I searched the ceflib unit and did not see anything that would do it. Side question. If anyone has a link to a TChromium "recipes" style site or document I
