Using TBitmap and TImage alternately (D2007)?
I have a QR code generator class available that has a constructor that
is called with a TImage as the parameter. The class will fill the
image with a QR code down the line. It was intended for use on a
visible form...
Now I want to use this in an application that prints a report and in
this application there is no image to use, instead it holds an
imagelist with preloaded QR codes which it transfers to the printer
canvas as follows:
{code}
var
QR_BMP_SSM: TBitMap;
...
begin
...
QR_BMP_SSM := TBitMap.Create;
imlQR.GetBitmap(0, QR_BMP_SSM); //Read from imagelist
...
if (LicType and 1) > 0 then //SSM
begin
Rect.TopLeft.X := xm;
Rect.TopLeft.Y := y + tdy;
Rect.BottomRight.X := Rect.TopLeft.X + 3*xm div 2;
Rect.BottomRight.Y := Rect.TopLeft.Y + 3*xm div 2;
StretchDraw(Rect, QR_BMP_SSM); //Xfer QR to printer canvas
end;
...
{code}
The QR class uses internally a TBitmap but it is created and destroyed
in the class itself, the assignment to the TImage object is done in
the end of QR code generation into the bitmap as follows (FImage is
the supplied TImage object from the caller):
{code}
procedure TQRcodeGen.ScaleImage;
var
Scale: double;
begin
FImage.Canvas.Brush.Color := clWhite;
FImage.Canvas.FillRect(Rect(0, 0, FImage.Width, FImage.Height));
if ((FQRCodeBitmap.Width > 0) and (FQRCodeBitmap.Height > 0)) then
begin
if (FImage.Width < FImage.Height) then
begin
Scale := FImage.Width / FQRCodeBitmap.Width;
end else
begin
Scale := FImage.Height / FQRCodeBitmap.Height;
end;
FImage.Canvas.StretchDraw(Rect(0, 0, Trunc(Scale *
FQRCodeBitmap.Width), Trunc(Scale * FQRCodeBitmap.Height)),
FQRCodeBitmap);
end;
end;
{code}
It seems a waste to make a TImage in my application just to use the QR
code class....
So my question is really if I can instead overload the constructor of
the QR code generator as follows:
{code}
constructor Create(Img: TImage);overload;
constructor Create(Bmp: TBitMap);overload;
{code}
And then in the two constructors set a flag to control weather to
operate directly on the external bitmap or to use the internal bitmap
followed by the ending transfer onto the TImage.
I tried to use the D2007 help to find out what if anything to look out
for when switching between TImage and TBitmap, but the help function
did not work. :( (see my previous post here).

Change the class to only accept a TBitmap and not a TImage at all. For UI work, you can simply pass in the TImage.Bitmap property as the TBitmap to operate on. Internally, TQRcodeGen.ScaleImage() is forcing the TImage to hold a TBitmap anyway (the TImage.Canvas property is only valid when TImage is holding a TBitmap), so you would not lose any existing functionality with this change. > It seems a waste to make a TImage in my application just to use the QR > code class....

Too much complexity when the end result would be the same in both cases if you just eliminate the TImage logic completely. -- Remy Lebeau (TeamB)

Using Using
I have just completed reading a chapter in my book on performance. The books says to speed up performance on your web site you should use the using statement when opening connections. My question is how do you catch errors if you are using this as apposed to a try catch block.thanksBryan Why would you use it as an alternative to a try/catch statement. Couldn't you just do something like public void UsingSomeMethod() { try { SomeMethod(); } catch(SomeException e) { /// do something useful }}public void SomeMethod() { using (Something) { /// do something }} public void SomeMethod() { using (Something) { try {} catch(SomeException e) {} }} Hi,So what is the actual benefit of using the using statement if you still have to put it in a try catch to catch errors, I thought that was the point of using using... to get away from the try catch which is apparently more of a memory chomper. Will it really speed up my apps then? The only benefit i can see it that you dont have to explicitly close your connection which would free up some memory there.Bryan First of all there are two things, using Statement and using directive, I think you are referring to the 'using' statement. The using statement allows the programmer to specify when objects that use resourc...

How to use a .dmp file for a system which crashes using a delphi app
Hi, I put this post here because I am not sure of the best location. I have been given a memory dump (.dmp) file by a client who thinks that a Delphi 7 application is causing their system to blue screen from time to time. Does anyone know how I can use this .dmp file to locate the problem in the delphi app? The build the client is using has debug symbols turned on. I have downloaded Microsoft Debugging Tools for windows and have dupmchk.exe (and kd.exe) but I would really appreciate some help with how these or any other useful tools should be used? Many thanks Ben > I have downloaded Microsoft Debugging Tools for windows and have dupmchk.exe (and kd.exe) You'd have to learn how to use WinDbg, which is a little too complex to explain here. Anyway you can start by opening the .dmp file and follow what WinDbg tell you, it will point you to the executable and stack trace that led to the error. At least you'll understand what is exactly causing the BSOD. Delphi debug symbols are not useful because they are in a differend format than those used by MS tools. You'd have convert them to a suitable format. It's a pity Delphi can't output debug informations in those formats. Anyway I believe it is a little strange a "normal" Delphi app can lead to a BSOD, because it usually require some kernel-side error.

Isaac wrote: > I am using an external manifest file to support UAC elevations via the > RC to RES technique. > > Once I do this, I have to add the Theme aware info to that manifest Yes. If you use a custom manifest, you have to provide ALL manifest values that your app uses. At this time, Delphi is not able to merge multiple manifest sources into a single manifest resource (that would be a nice feature to have). > To get rid of the warning, I uncheck the themes option on the project.

Using Delphi 7 and Delphi 2010
I had a project in Delphi 7. I worked on it in Delphi 2010. When I try to open the .dpr again in Delphi 7, the IDE toolbar widens across both monitors, and Delphi 7 locks up. It appears that Delphi 2010 modifies the .dpr in a way that makes Delphi 7 unable to open it again. All my forms & units appear to open fine in D7 after D2010, except for the warnings on the ExplicitHeight and ExplicitWidth properties being missing... I can easily recreate the .dpr, but is this expected behavior? Thanks. Tom Field wrote: > I had a project in Delphi 7. > > I worked o...

How to use a delphi XE3 obj file in delphi 2007?
Hi, I'm migrating an application from delphi 2007 to delphi XE3 and I would like to do it in several steps. To do this I need to use a part of my new code (XE3) in the current delphi 2007 application. So I want to use the .obj file from my XE3 file. I know I have to use the {$L 'Filename'} and I know that I have to declare the functions that I want to use in external in my D2007 project. I wanted to make an easy and simple example to see how it works with only 1 function 'hello world' compiled in obj with XE3 but I can't find the way to use it in D2007. In D200...

No. -- Finn Tolderlund The compatiblity between D2006 and D2007 was unique. Normaly they can't be compatible because new version enhance/change the API.

Delphi 2006 vs Delphi 2009 IDE stability
Hello, all. I have medium sized project which includes about 20Mb of source code (just size of *.pas files). I use Delphi 2006. There are third party component suites JVCL, DevExpress Bars, Pegasus Imaging. All updates applied. The main problem is IDE stability. About four..five times a day IDE become unstable after intensive usage of code insight functions (most often I press Ctrl+Space key). The best outcome is that I have to save everything and restart the IDE. The worst outcome is when IDE stalls or falls into endless loop of error messages and any unsaved work is lost. OS...

TBitmap and TImage
I need to display a bitmap image. In some cases I want to display the entire image but sometimes I need to display the rightmost part of it. I use a TImage and a TBitmap which are fields of the form. I clearly miss something because the following code does not work. After starting the program if I first click Button1 then Button2 it's OK, but if I start the program and I first click Button2, then I get a truncated image when I click Button1. The right part of the image is missing. What am I doing wrong? procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin bmp := TBitmap...

Using Using
I have just completed reading a chapter in my book on performance. The books says to speed up performance on your web site you should use the using statement when opening connections. My question is how do you catch errors if you are using this as apposed to a try catch block.thanksBryan Why would you use it as an alternative to a try/catch statement. Couldn't you just do something like public void UsingSomeMethod() { try { SomeMethod(); } catch(SomeException e) { /// do something useful }}public void SomeMethod() { using (Something) { /// do something }} public void SomeMethod() { using (Something) { try {} catch(SomeException e) {} }} Hi,So what is the actual benefit of using the using statement if you still have to put it in a try catch to catch errors, I thought that was the point of using using... to get away from the try catch which is apparently more of a memory chomper. Will it really speed up my apps then? The only benefit i can see it that you dont have to explicitly close your connection which would free up some memory there.Bryan First of all there are two things, using Statement and using directive, I think you are referring to the 'using' statement. The using statement allows the programmer to specify when objects that use resourc...

How to use a .dmp file for a system which crashes using a delphi app
Hi, I put this post here because I am not sure of the best location. I have been given a memory dump (.dmp) file by a client who thinks that a Delphi 7 application is causing their system to blue screen from time to time. Does anyone know how I can use this .dmp file to locate the problem in the delphi app? The build the client is using has debug symbols turned on. I have downloaded Microsoft Debugging Tools for windows and have dupmchk.exe (and kd.exe) but I would really appreciate some help with how these or any other useful tools should be used? Many thanks Ben > I have downloaded Microsoft Debugging Tools for windows and have dupmchk.exe (and kd.exe) You'd have to learn how to use WinDbg, which is a little too complex to explain here. Anyway you can start by opening the .dmp file and follow what WinDbg tell you, it will point you to the executable and stack trace that led to the error. At least you'll understand what is exactly causing the BSOD. Delphi debug symbols are not useful because they are in a differend format than those used by MS tools. You'd have convert them to a suitable format. It's a pity Delphi can't output debug informations in those formats. Anyway I believe it is a little strange a "normal" Delphi app can lead to a BSOD, because it usually require some kernel-side error. But without knowing what error and where it happens is hard to tell. Am 14.11.2011 11:20, schrieb Ben Russell: > Hi, I put t...
