New user question

Just got my RB Ent. and it looks very impressive. My Compliments to DM.

Got a question. As I'm looking at the demos to get some ideas, I came
across RBuilder\Demos\Reports\Demp.dpr project that has about 154
programs in it to demonstrate the product. The form name is retrieved
from a file and the main program creates the form at runtime. My
question is, where are the first 1-10 forms in the project or that sub
directory? I like to look at dm1 - dm10 but I can't find them, however
at runtime they show up. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hell Ben,


just have a look at dmMain, function TfrmDMMain.CreateForm(aLevel: Integer):
TdmCustomForm;

Here you'll find the place where the class names are generated.

example:
click on 1
- 1: aLevel := 81;
- ...
classname := 'Tfrm0081' - srcFile: dm0081.pas

regards,

Ralf

I know that, but my question is I don't see dm1 through dm10 pascal
files anywhere in the project. I'm looking for dm2.frm dm2.pas

Hello Ben,


There are no dm1 to dm10 files.
If you choose examples 1-10 (overview) following happens:
Click example 1

At TfrmDMMain.PrintReport the Level is Assigned from Field Value.
it's 1
after that the form (the *.pas you're looking for) file is located at
TfrmDMMain.CreateForm:
If 1 was choosen Level = 81;
so the classname is 'Tfrm' + '00' + '81'
the source is dm0081.pas if you click example 1 at 1-10 overview

if you click
2 -> 61
3 -> 71
4 -> 51
and so on....

For referencing these classes have a look at USES / RegisterClasses
