If this is too complicated... well anyway I've done the Access method and it is NOT complicated. Your machine must have an alias to point to the Oracle DB. That's a given so it can't be complicated. In MSAccess97 ( comes with Office professional) create a blank database. This is not complicated...

I built a class to compare the strings cause that way I could code once and call often. Then I checked the result(s) and acted on the input. Mine are bool but you could easily either overload them to return a value of 1, 2, 3, 4 allowing a switch/case block etc. The nice thing here is that I...

Not equal to != AND & OR | also AND if(( yaba )&&( dabado )) OR if(( yaba)||( dabado ))

Umm, I might have missed something early n the conversation but cut copy and paste dont need any help from the clipboard to work (unless your trying to copy a lot of these edits at once?) The only time I've ever had to code anything for these functions has been if I was using a DBGrid ( I think...

How do you get the char value of &Key when it's type WORD? I need to catch some control keys ( which works fine ) but I also need to know if the key was a character, punctuation, or number. This also works OK as long as the key pad is not used, however, type WORD gives the wrong answer with...

If the editor doesn't chop this up beyond readability this is the official answer to my problem. It makes cut, copy, and paste work in all situations. You have to turn off short cuts in the Menu's properties to use this correctly. Posting it for the edification of anyone else with a similar...

I have found that if I set my MainMenu->EditMenu->Cut1->Shortcut property to CTRL+X it will actually disable the windows default behavior when I attempt to use the menu item. Instead the menu item calls the OnClick event. This would be OK if I could use ClipBoard to copy and paste but I can't...

I opened a new application, added a DB, Table, Source, and Grid. Assigned each so it was connecting to the Database I wanted ( Access97 ) Ran the app as it was. The only "Code" I wrote was to Connect to the DB and make the Table active. Cut and paste of partial or whole strings from...

Yup, that helped. Thanks for the help. I can now cut, copy, and paste the contents of a cell through the clipboard. Unfortunately SelText is not a member of TField. For some reason Fields don't have all of the properties of an Edit box even though you need to do all the same things with both...

Look in the editor options, there should be a property you can set. There was in 1.0.

Take your pick. :-> Number = StrToInt(Temp); Number = StrToInt64(Temp); Number = StrToFloat(Temp); etc.

Does anyone know how to implement Cut, Copy, and Paste inside a DBGrid? <CTRL><X>,<CTRL><C>,and <CTRL><V> do not work. If anyone can post a code sample demonstrating this I'd be greatful. There is no built in call for this I can find so I assume it's a windows call thing. Unfortunately I have no...

I am attempting to set up a query in Borland C++ Builder4.0 I have asked this question in that forum but am hoping to increase my chances of a solution. Here is my question in the short version: 1) How do you get a TQuery to accept type bool and act on it and 2) what is the correct means of...
