Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #46
11 Dec
- I’ve written an article on building Live Template Scripting Engines. It’s surprisingly easy, and I try to make it a little easier by providing a base class that does some of the grunt work for you.
- We’ve added a link to the Delphi Product page that highlights third-party components that work with Delphi 2007 and RAD Studio 2007. If you are looking to upgrade, this list should help you decide. If you are a component vendor that wants their components on the list as working with the 2007 products, let us know. If there is some third-party component that is not on the list but you wish it were, let us know that as well, and we’ll find out about it for you.
- Nice YouTube videos:
Nice write up on the scripting engines, Nick. (Although the article was a little confusing; it showed GetScriptInfo() accessing the FScriptInfo TStringList, but never shows where the stringlist is created. The downloaded code, however, explains the discrepancy. )
Thanks,
Ken

You have to buy TMS Unicode Components for that..
December 14th, 2007 at 8:02 amNick, random thought:
Where is the update that will fix the context menu problems introduced with update 2007.3 ??
December 14th, 2007 at 8:04 amThanks a lot for the code, Nick, but, imho, what we’re expecting is a live template editor which will hide the complexity of XML, jump points etc. Usually we just want to do have a text with some fields in it. (see QC#47897)
