The progam compiles and displays the form, but when I click the ComboBox, I get an error message: "Operation not allowed on a DBCtrlGrid" Is it possible to use a ComboBox on a DBCtrlGrid?
  • 4. How to avoid windows to display a message if no device is in a drive-slot?
    How to avoid Windows to display a message if no device is in a drive-slot? Sorry, it sounds more difficult as it is. Having a card-reader in which (drive K:) there is a sometimes a card and sometimes not, I want to check, if K: is occupied, i.e. if a certain directory on it could be found. I did it with if(DirectoryExists("K:\\mydir")) ... In the BCB-Environment it works perfectly. The function returns a correct value, depending if the card (and directory) is in the card-reader. When running it outside the BCB-Environment Windows interrups this checking with a Messagebox, which says (translated) somehting like 'There is no medium in the drive. Please insert a medium in drive K:' How can I avoid this message to be displayed (or how can I check, if a medium is inside drive K: for not using a function which displays such a message)? Thanks a lot, Michael

  AnsiString aPath;              // used to get the path of nodes
  aFiles.Length = nGetCount;
  for(int i=0;i < nGetCount ;i++)

Please do not start a new thread every time. You are supposed
to reply to a message instead. (Like I do here).

You already showed that code and you are not answering my questions.

By asking for code we want you to show also how you call
your code (which exact parameters) and what the user has to
to before and so.

Hans.

With the way that you have it setup, you'll need to traverse
back up the tree nodes and rebuild the path. For example
(untested):

    AnsiString Path;
    TTreeNode *Node;
    for( int x = 0; x < SelectionCount; ++x )
      {
          Node = Selections[ x ];
          Path = Node->Text;
          while( Node->AbsoluteIndex > 0 )
            {
                Node = Node->Parent;
                Path = Node->Text + "\\" + Path;
            }
      }

I would also suggest that you use a virtual TTreeView instead
because a drive listing can easily overwhelm what a TTreeView
can efficiently support.

Hello again,

This is my second question today. The question is how to get just the path

looking an MFC or WinAPI function to do that because I don't want to do it
manually.

Thanks,

5.Getting the folder path for an Outlook 2000 folder 

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to make an application of mine compatible with Outlook 
2000 since I have discovered the the FolderPath property does not exist in 
the version 9 TLB.  What I need to be able to do is build a folder path from 
the current folder backward up through the parent folders in the folder 
tree.  I know I have access to a folders Parent property but being a newbie 
Delphi programmer I'm not really sure how to use that vraible once I have 
it.

I have some skeleton code below:

function TPST_Engine.GetFolderPath(CurrentFolder: MAPIFolder): string;
var
  Path: string;
  VarRoot: IDispatch;
  ParentFolder: MAPIFolder;
begin
  //  Get the current folder path.  This function is needed to
  //  maintain compatibility with Outlook 2000
  Path := '/' + CurrentFolder.Name;
  VarRoot := CurrentFolder.Parent;

  //  while VarRoot <>    // what value is returned here if there is no 
parent?????
  //  How do I use the VarRoot value to set the parent folder to my 
ParentFolder  <----------- What do I do here???????
  //  variable

  GetFolderPath := Path;
end;

My solution will need to go into the while loop as I don't know before hand 
how 'buried' the subfolder may be.  So I will need to build up the path 
string regardless of how many parents and subfolders there are.

Thanks for any help.
