Documentation also

[djf]

Further to an earlier post I am surprised at the lack of documentation in relation to the forms designer and controls.

You appear to have added lots of controls but no information as to what they do.

I appreciate that these forums are a great place to ask questions and learn but I’d rather not have to ask a question about each control each time I want to know what it does.

For instance, what’s the difference between:

Listbox
RzListBox
RzListBoxEx

What properties are there, what methods etc? Why use one rather than the other.

I’m amazed that even the word Listbox only appears 8 times in the language guide.

I’m about to start developing some front end apps for my users and I’m already thinking it might be easier just to present an asp page in a portal.

David,

Thank you for your post.

The magnitude of the component documentation for Formativ 2.0 dictated we had to release the product prior to amalgamating component documentation. Prior to official documentation becoming available, component information can be accessed from the following sources:

The components on the Standard, Additional, Win32, System and Dialogs tabs of the component palette are documented in the Borland Delphi VCL help file. This can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftpc.borland.com/pub/delphi/techpubs/delphi6/d62pro.zip

The components on the Enhanced tab of the component palette are documented in the Raize Components Trial Help files. This can be downloaded from:
http://www.raize.com/DevTools/RzComps/DemoTrial/RC3Trial.zip

The components on the Netware, LDAP and NDAP tabs of the component palette are Novell’s ‘ActiveX Controls for Novell Services’. Documentation for these components can be found at: http://developer.novell.com/ndk/activex-index.htm

The components on the GroupWise tabs of the component palette are Novell’s ‘GroupWise Controls for ActiveX’. Documentation for these controls can be found at: http://developer.novell.com/ndk/gwactive.htm

These links no longer work.

Is there updated information available?

It appear the Borland Delphi VCL help file link (ftp://ftpc.borland.com/pub/delphi/techpubs/delphi6/d62pro.zip) is broken, we will write to Delphi about the broken link.
