RBuilder.ini and Citrix/TeminalServer

rbuser

Hi,

We are having write privilige problems writing Rbuilder.ini on a Citrix
machine.

The settings are:

IniStorageType = 'IniFile in Temp Dir'
IniStorageName = '($TEMPDIR)\RBuilder.ini'

What could be the problem?

Hi,

Can it has something to do that we create TppDesignerWindow classes at
runtime.
In the code i see that this class is also creating TppIniStorage classes.

Hi Eric,

You might try storing the ini information inside the registry rather than in
a file. Change IniStorageType to Registry.

Hi

It's not possible to set IniStorageType for a TppDesignerWindow or is it?

For future reference - please post questions to a single destination
(newsgroups or email). I cannot stress that point enough. If you need to
send an example project then please use email only.

I received the sample code. I think you are assuming that ($TEMPDIR) has
some special meaning - however it does not. You have to write some code to
translate that into an actual directory path (C:Windows\Temp or whatever).
You could override CreateCustomIniFile to do that. In ppUtils, there is a
ppGetTempPath method that calls the windows api to determine the path.

Example:

{translate the ($TEMPDIR) prefix, if present}
aStorageName := StringReplace(aStorageName, cTempDIR, ppGetTempPath,
[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);



Rather than creating a custom class, I think the simplest solution would be
to add some initialization code set TppDesigner.IniStorageName prior to
calling Designer.Show:

uses
ppUtils;

myDesigner.IniStorageName := ppGetTempPath;

Hi Nard,

Sorry for the double questions.

You mention:

But we create a TppDesignerWindow and that class has no IniStorageName
property.

I recommend using TppDesigner - let it create and manage the
TppDesignerWindow. If you do not want to do that (for whatever reason), then
please see the source code to TppDesigner (ppEndUsr.pas) to see how it
manages the IniStorageName.
