How add a new vartype to the System variable ?

rbuser

What is the best way for add a new function in the TppSystemVariable ?

I added a new Username pass-trough function, but it's too complex for my
user.

Thank you !

Hi Philippe,

(a complex 'Username' function?)

use a JITPipeline to provide static informations, this is as simple as it could be (no RAP needed!).

Another option would be to either create a descendant of SystemVariable or
copy the code and create your own. You could unregister the existing
SystemVariable if you want to remove it and then register your own. Source
to the SystemVariable is located in ppVar.pas. An example of a custom
component is in RBuilder\Demos\RCL.

Another option is to use the RBAddOn component set. It features a system
info pipeline that you could use to get the username. Surf
www.bancoems.com\RBAddOn.htm for a demo.
