How to use the result of a call to GetFileSecurity?
Hi, My overall task is to determine if the current user can write to a given folder (i.e. C:\Program Files\MyApp). Up until now I have just tried to write a file in the folder to determine this. However on Vista with UAC enabled this will flag my application as "not compatible" when someone tests it with the Vista Compatibility Tool. I have found the API function GetFileSecurity and can call it just fine. However I am a novice with ACL and ACE etc. so how what I need to find out is how to use the result of the function to determine if the current user has permissions to write to the folder. Does anybody know where I can find a working example or have any other pointers? Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Lars Sondergaard

Secondly, you should check the logs of VCTool. It tells what is problematic with your app. Otherwise you could try the JEDI Windows Security Code Library, since it encapsulates all the C API calls (http://jwscldoc.delphi-jedi.net/JwsclSecureObjects.TJwSecureFileObject.html) There is even a small sample : http://jedi-apilib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jedi-apilib/jwscl/branches/0.9.1/examples/FileSecurity/Get/ReadFileSecurity.dpr?revision=433&view=markup I guess the same code with C-API calls would need hundreds of lines of code. -- Christian Wimmer http://blog.delphi-jedi.net/

Trying to call a .DLL from Delphi XE (used to work with Delphi 6 :-) )
Hi everyone, I have a problem where perhaps some one could help point me in the right direction. In Delphi 6 I used a stand alone package to train a neural netowrk,. The trained neural network was stored as a .DEF file. The standalone software provided a .DLL and Delphi code to call the network and get the prediced values from your sw. (The .DLL was created in 2002 and apparently is 32 bit.) I have'nt used it for years but am now coming back to it.... I now use Delphi XE on Windows 7 (32 bit) The old .exe's I had compiled from that time work fine. However in Delphi XE ...
To use or not to use Delphi
Sadly, it seems to me that there is a sort of race between the two threads, for and against using Delphi in new projects, with more or less the same users posting in both threads. Arguments are fiercely debated in both camps. Borland had their own vision. As a community, now that Delphi has changed ownership I believe we should try to be more consistent, more clear, and more articulate in what we expect from Embercadero in terms of Delphi. We can contribute to keeping Delphi alive and moving in the right direction. "Laurent Cocea" schrieb: > Sadly, it seems to me that there ...

Can Delphi call Cocoa framework methods that use code block parameters?
I have been investigating whether it is possible to call the ExternalAccessory framework from Delphi XE5. I am trying to write an interface unit for this framework, and I have run up against the code block data type in Objective-C. For example, in the EAAcessoryManager.h header file we see this declaration: typedef void(^EABluetoothAccessoryPickerCompletion)(NSError *error); If I understand this syntax correctly, this declares the identifier EABluetoothAccessoryPickerCompletion as a pointer to a code block that takes an NSError object parameter and returns a void (i.e. acts as a proced...
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...
