Custom datatypes

rbuser

Hello

Is it possible in a end-user app to define custom datatypes, or change
the existing ones behaviour?
For example we would like to change the dtBoolean implementation (we use
S/N instead of T/F)

[we use RB 7.03 with D5]

Thanks!

If the database field is boolean you can either

1. Use the DisplayFormat property to control the display. For the
DisplayFormat you can specify S;N.

2. Override the default formating by descending from TppDisplayFormat (see
ppDisplayFormat.pas) and registering your TmyDisplayFormat class as the
replacement. See the initialization section of the unit.
