IBX Change Log version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100 |
| 2 |
+ |
|
| 3 |
+ |
1. TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always |
| 4 |
+ |
call Prepare before setting parameter values. |
| 5 |
+ |
|
| 6 |
+ |
2. Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter. |
| 7 |
+ |
|
| 8 |
+ |
3. Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector. |
| 9 |
+ |
|
| 10 |
+ |
4. Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction |
| 11 |
+ |
has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost" |
| 12 |
+ |
and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called |
| 13 |
+ |
for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called |
| 14 |
+ |
after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events |
| 15 |
+ |
enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be |
| 16 |
+ |
handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs |
| 17 |
+ |
an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes, |
| 18 |
+ |
the transaction should be committed. Rather than doing this per dataset, this |
| 19 |
+ |
can now be done per transaction. |
| 20 |
+ |
|
| 21 |
+ |
5. TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when |
| 22 |
+ |
the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default, |
| 23 |
+ |
discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now |
| 24 |
+ |
have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes |
| 25 |
+ |
on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the |
| 26 |
+ |
behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges |
| 27 |
+ |
then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed |
| 28 |
+ |
(and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the |
| 29 |
+ |
dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case, |
| 30 |
+ |
no action is taken and any unsaved changes are discarded. This avoids both |
| 31 |
+ |
unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post |
| 32 |
+ |
raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback. |
| 33 |
+ |
|
| 34 |
+ |
6. String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets. |
| 35 |
+ |
In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character |
| 36 |
+ |
width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character. |
| 37 |
+ |
For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be |
| 38 |
+ |
the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined |
| 39 |
+ |
dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS |
| 40 |
+ |
system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766). |
| 41 |
+ |
|
| 42 |
+ |
7. SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string. |
| 43 |
+ |
|
| 44 |
+ |
8. IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the |
| 45 |
+ |
control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms. |
| 46 |
+ |
|
| 47 |
+ |
9. DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even |
| 48 |
+ |
when dataset rows are less than visible rows. |
| 49 |
+ |
|
| 50 |
+ |
10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource |
| 51 |
+ |
does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event |
| 52 |
+ |
OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row. |
| 53 |
+ |
|
| 54 |
+ |
11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset |
| 55 |
+ |
while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors. |
| 56 |
+ |
|
| 57 |
+ |
12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to |
| 58 |
+ |
avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables. |
| 59 |
+ |
|
| 60 |
+ |
13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes. |
| 61 |
+ |
|
| 62 |
+ |
14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced |
| 63 |
+ |
to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by |
| 64 |
+ |
a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset |
| 65 |
+ |
always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate |
| 66 |
+ |
to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the |
| 67 |
+ |
"MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called |
| 68 |
+ |
as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post |
| 69 |
+ |
into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is |
| 70 |
+ |
achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be |
| 71 |
+ |
raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal |
| 72 |
+ |
a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml) |
| 73 |
+ |
|
| 74 |
+ |
15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon |
| 75 |
+ |
separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right |
| 76 |
+ |
order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux, |
| 77 |
+ |
the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be |
| 78 |
+ |
overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function. |
| 79 |
+ |
|
| 80 |
+ |
Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:" |
| 81 |
+ |
then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will |
| 82 |
+ |
require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username |
| 83 |
+ |
and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant |
| 84 |
+ |
access. |

|
1. A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike |
| 89 |
|
rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid |
| 90 |
|
that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row |
| 91 |
< |
correspondes to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the |
| 91 |
> |
corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the |
| 92 |
|
replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row. |
| 93 |
|
|
| 94 |
|
2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase. |
| 103 |
|
committed. |
| 104 |
|
|
| 105 |
|
4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still |
| 106 |
< |
using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to this feature. |
