Is order saved when casting Double to Int64
Hi,
I want to save Integer, Double, TDate, TTime and Boolean values in the same column in a database.
Since the maximum size for all these is 8 bytes, I plan to use an Int64 column and cast all values
to Int64.
What I need to know is, if the order of different values is the same or if there are cases where it
will be different.
var
d1: Double;
d2: Double;
i1 : Int64 absolute d1;
i2 : Int64 absolute d2;
begin
d1 := 2.33;
i1:= d1;
d2 := 4.112;
i2 := d2;
if d1 < d2
then Assert(i1 < i2)
if d1 > d2
then Assert(i1 > i2)

And I presume you have another column that specifies what data type has been stored in your "special" column? Otherwise how would you know how to interpret the value when reading it back? > What I need to know is, if the order of different values is the same > or if there are cases where it will be different. What do you mean by "order" exactly? > i1:= d1; That is redundant. Since d1 and i1 share the same memory, i1 automatically gains a value as soon as you assign a value to d1, and vice versa. > i2 := d2; Likewise. > if d1 < d2 > then Assert(i1 < i2) > > if d1 > d2 > then Assert(i1 > i2) I do not think that is a guarantee, since Int64 and Double have very different bit patterns to represent their respective values. The only thing they have in common is that they both happen to use the same bit to represent the sign. If the sign is 1, the value is negative, otherwise the value is positive. If you need to compare two values against each other, you have to make sure they are in the same representation first. -- Remy Lebeau (TeamB)

>> What I need to know is, if the order of different values is the same >> or if there are cases where it will be different. No. The meta information is in structure in the application itself. >I do not think that is a guarantee, since Int64 and Double have very different >bit patterns to represent their respective values. The only thing they have I ended up with the solution to have three columns Double -> for Double, TDateTime Integer -> for Integer, Boolean, References String -> for Strings The overhead of 8 bytes is not a problem today compared to avoid such complicate structures and it is easier to search for a value. cu Christian

Delphi 2007 to Delphi XE2 paint order change
Hello all, I have a program here that does some very specific work in the paint handlers and requires that the controls are painted from bottom to top. This worked just fine under Delphi 2007 but now that we have migrated to Delphi XE2, it no longer works. Tracing the paint order, we discovered that there are cases when the bottom most component (the form for instance) is drawn last instead of first, which means that the painting code we do in the program gets a black area for the bottom most control instead of its background. This was observed with D2007 and DXE2 on the same c...

Save as..Does not Save as..
I have a project that I want to save as a different project name in a different folder. Selecting Save Project as.. does not do this. It saves a few files and continues to use files in the original folder. I am trying to keep each version of the program I write. Is there anyway to do this without having to do a total redesign or editing hex files looking for the paths that need changing. Ray. Ray Firstly I have very few hard coded path references in my dpr.

how do you save column order
What is the best way to remember the preferred order per user and arraign them in the preferred order after retrieving? Some columns are Computed Object columns, all have Tab = 0, using PB 6.5 If it is a grid dw, make all columns initially hidden. Then, make columns visible one by one starting with the 1st column. You can store the order info in the user INI file. This way you can save not only the order, but also columns that the user might want to hide. I did this a long while back and actually made use of the database rather than INI file to make it quicker but either way w...
