IBX Change Log version (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100 |
2 |
|
3 |
1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration |
4 |
when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for |
5 |
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622. |
6 |
|
7 |
2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server |
8 |
since Firebird 1.5. |
9 |
|
10 |
3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or |
11 |
similar. |
12 |
|
13 |
4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id. |
14 |
|
15 |
5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in |
16 |
Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16. |
17 |
|
18 |
6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8 |
19 |
regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This |
20 |
is for compatibility with the LCL. |
21 |
|
22 |
IBX Change Log version (1.4-2) Sat, 16 Jul 2016 13:25:48 +0100 |
23 |
|
24 |
1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to |
25 |
read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance |
26 |
improvement when opening datasets containing blobs. |
27 |
|
28 |
2. Clearing a Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag. |
29 |
|
30 |
3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order |
31 |
is now used. |
32 |
|
33 |
4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically |
34 |
determined. |
35 |
|
36 |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened. |
37 |
|
38 |
6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post |
39 |
lazarus 1.6.0 |
40 |
|
41 |
7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages" |
42 |
compilation error. |
43 |
|
44 |
IBX Change Log version (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100 |
45 |
|
46 |
1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the |
47 |
character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then |
48 |
Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character |
49 |
set as the connection. |
50 |
|
51 |
2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow |
52 |
for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path. |
53 |
|
54 |
3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name |
55 |
to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the |
56 |
entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only). |
57 |
|
58 |
4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the |
59 |
column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue |
60 |
Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value. |
61 |
|
62 |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating |
63 |
column width. |
64 |
|
65 |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given |
66 |
and a case insensitive search is requested. |
67 |
|
68 |
7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls |
69 |
or column ListSource. |
70 |
|
71 |
8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an |
72 |
unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed. |
73 |
|
74 |
9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer. |
75 |
Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows. |
76 |
|
77 |
10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin. |
78 |
Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0. |
79 |
|
80 |
11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed |
81 |
|
82 |
12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a |
83 |
string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after |
84 |
Firebird driver transliteration, if any. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for |
85 |
earlier versions. |
86 |
|
87 |
13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString |
88 |
will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver |
89 |
if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. |
90 |
|
91 |
14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter |
92 |
is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with |
93 |
the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure |
94 |
platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC |
95 |
3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when |
96 |
the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page. |
97 |
|
98 |
15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set |
99 |
name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the |
100 |
Database is connected. |
101 |
|
102 |
16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage |
103 |
id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName. |
104 |
|
105 |
IBX Change Log version (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000 |
106 |
|
107 |
1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database |
108 |
path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the |
109 |
temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:" |
110 |
prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to |
111 |
be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used. |
112 |
|
113 |
2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL: |
114 |
i. The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory. |
115 |
ii. If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this |
116 |
points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying |
117 |
"bin" directory. |
118 |
iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances |
119 |
is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying |
120 |
"bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL. |
121 |
iv. The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x |
122 |
are searched for the FB Client DLL. |
123 |
v. The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL. |
124 |
vi. Finally the PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL. |
125 |
|
126 |
3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine. |
127 |
See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications. |
128 |
|
129 |
4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to |
130 |
simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms. |
131 |
See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications. |
132 |
|
133 |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for |
134 |
dynamic columns. |
135 |
|
136 |
6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition |
137 |
between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event. |
138 |
|
139 |
IBX Change Log version (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000 |
140 |
|
141 |
1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies. |
142 |
|
143 |
1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo |
144 |
|
145 |
2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column |
146 |
|
147 |
3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early |
148 |
|
149 |
4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset |
150 |
i.e. when it is a calculated field |
151 |
|
152 |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid. |
153 |
This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and |
154 |
determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation |
155 |
is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to |
156 |
be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being |
157 |
calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk. |
158 |
|
159 |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on |
160 |
Windows. |
161 |
|
162 |
7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer; |
163 |
These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character |
164 |
to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
165 |
|
166 |
8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from |
167 |
TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
168 |
|
169 |
9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from |
170 |
TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of |
171 |
1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
172 |
|
173 |
Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated |
174 |
from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero |
175 |
implies no truncation. |
176 |
|
177 |
10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active. |
178 |
|
179 |
11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state |
180 |
(avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error). |
181 |
|
182 |
12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator. |
183 |
|
184 |
13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling |
185 |
DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control. |
186 |
|
187 |
14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent. |
188 |
|
189 |
15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls |
190 |
|
191 |
16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked. |
192 |
|
193 |
17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened. |
194 |
|
195 |
IBX Change Log version (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100 |
196 |
|
197 |
1. OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties |
198 |
|
199 |
2. IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids |
200 |
problem with row size when exception is called. |
201 |
|
202 |
3. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit. |
203 |
|
204 |
4. IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if |
205 |
in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo |
206 |
|
207 |
5. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text |
208 |
keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed |
209 |
|
210 |
6. Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support |
211 |
console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and |
212 |
cursor management) centralised in the IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is |
213 |
not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program. |
214 |
See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a |
215 |
console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your |
216 |
application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package. |
217 |
|
218 |
IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order |
219 |
to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is |
220 |
included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause. |
221 |
This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why |
222 |
you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The |
223 |
ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs |
224 |
to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the |
225 |
unit search paths set up correctly. |
226 |
|
227 |
Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in |
228 |
each project's source file (*.lpr). |
229 |
|
230 |
You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode |
231 |
exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This |
232 |
adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently |
233 |
available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file. |
234 |
|
235 |
Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode. |
236 |
|
237 |
7. SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines |
238 |
|
239 |
8. IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end |
240 |
of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a |
241 |
column and then inserting text. |
242 |
|
243 |
9. New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor. |
244 |
|
245 |
10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer |
246 |
write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the |
247 |
IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write |
248 |
of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could |
249 |
not be automatically recognised. |
250 |
|
251 |
11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor |
252 |
already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical. |
253 |
|
254 |
12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error |
255 |
when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the |
256 |
table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix. |
257 |
|
258 |
13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead |
259 |
of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing |
260 |
users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications. |
261 |
|
262 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100 |
263 |
|
264 |
1. Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an |
265 |
empty Params property. |
266 |
|
267 |
2. IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3. |
268 |
Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply |
269 |
SQL markup on initial open. |
270 |
|
271 |
3. "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling. |
272 |
|
273 |
4. DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a |
274 |
TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a |
275 |
random image cached). |
276 |
|
277 |
5. DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time. |
278 |
|
279 |
6. IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid |
280 |
even when further rows exist. |
281 |
|
282 |
7. DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should |
283 |
always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion. |
284 |
Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time, |
285 |
each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE |
286 |
in order to remove the property value from the lfm. |
287 |
|
288 |
|
289 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100 |
290 |
|
291 |
1. TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always |
292 |
call Prepare before setting parameter values. |
293 |
|
294 |
2. Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter. |
295 |
|
296 |
3. Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector. |
297 |
|
298 |
4. Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction |
299 |
has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost" |
300 |
and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called |
301 |
for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called |
302 |
after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events |
303 |
enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be |
304 |
handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs |
305 |
an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes, |
306 |
the transaction should be committed. Rather than doing this per dataset, this |
307 |
can now be done per transaction. |
308 |
|
309 |
5. TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when |
310 |
the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default, |
311 |
discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now |
312 |
have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes |
313 |
on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the |
314 |
behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges |
315 |
then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed |
316 |
(and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the |
317 |
dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case, |
318 |
no action is taken and any unsaved changes are discarded. This avoids both |
319 |
unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post |
320 |
raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback. |
321 |
|
322 |
6. String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets. |
323 |
In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character |
324 |
width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character. |
325 |
For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be |
326 |
the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined |
327 |
dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS |
328 |
system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766). |
329 |
|
330 |
7. SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string. |
331 |
|
332 |
8. IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the |
333 |
control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms. |
334 |
|
335 |
9. DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even |
336 |
when dataset rows are less than visible rows. |
337 |
|
338 |
10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource |
339 |
does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event |
340 |
OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row. |
341 |
|
342 |
11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset |
343 |
while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors. |
344 |
|
345 |
12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to |
346 |
avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables. |
347 |
|
348 |
13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes. |
349 |
|
350 |
14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced |
351 |
to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by |
352 |
a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset |
353 |
always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate |
354 |
to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the |
355 |
"MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called |
356 |
as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post |
357 |
into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is |
358 |
achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be |
359 |
raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal |
360 |
a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml) |
361 |
|
362 |
15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon |
363 |
separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right |
364 |
order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux, |
365 |
the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be |
366 |
overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function. |
367 |
|
368 |
Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:" |
369 |
then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will |
370 |
require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username |
371 |
and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant |
372 |
access. |

IBX Change Log version (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000 |
375 |
|
376 |
1. A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike |
377 |
rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid |
378 |
that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row |
379 |
corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the |
380 |
replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row. |
381 |
|
382 |
2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase. |
383 |
When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change |
384 |
takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with |
385 |
the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor. |
386 |
|
387 |
3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery |
388 |
and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to |
389 |
Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of |
390 |
making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly |
391 |
committed. |
392 |
|
393 |
4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still |
394 |
using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature. |
395 |

IBX Change Log version (1.2-0) Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:04 +0000 |
401 |
|
402 |
1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents. |
403 |
This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the |
404 |
"Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary |
405 |
complexity. |
406 |
|
407 |
2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has |
408 |
three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser. |
409 |
These are: |
410 |
|
411 |
- TIBLookupComboEditBox |
412 |
- TIBDynamicGrid |
413 |
- TIBTreeview |
414 |
|
415 |
TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete" |
416 |
of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation |
417 |
to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the |
418 |
typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a |
419 |
newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available |
420 |
list items. |
421 |
|
422 |
TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for: |
423 |
- automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length |
424 |
- automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the |
425 |
column footer, on a per column basis. |
426 |
- DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column. |
427 |
A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order. |
428 |
- Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row |
429 |
is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any |
430 |
number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource |
431 |
as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors. |
432 |
- Reselection of the same row following resorting. |
433 |
- A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox. |
434 |
Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more |
435 |
columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset. |
436 |
Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor |
437 |
is unaffected by the extension. |
438 |
|
439 |
TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView. |
440 |
|
441 |
3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a |
442 |
zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead. |
443 |
|
444 |
4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function |
445 |
"GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers. |
446 |
|
447 |
5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter |
448 |
repeated multiple times. |
449 |
|
450 |
6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error |
451 |
check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert" |
452 |
statements. |
453 |
|
454 |
7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from |
455 |
Stored Procedures. |
456 |
|
457 |
8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls |
458 |
|
459 |

IBX Change Log version (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100 |
461 |
|
462 |
1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter |
463 |
setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to |
464 |
Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements). |
465 |
|
466 |
2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case. |
467 |
See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder. |
468 |
|
469 |
3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database |
470 |
dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word. |
471 |
|
472 |
4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc |
473 |
|
474 |
5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once" |
475 |
actions. |
476 |
|
477 |
6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with |
478 |
thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out). |
479 |
|
480 |
7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet. |
481 |
|
482 |
8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types |
483 |
for both fields and parameter setting. |
484 |
|
485 |
9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be |
486 |
visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property. |
487 |
|
488 |
10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test, |
489 |
when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true. |
490 |
|
491 |
11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields" |
492 |
|
493 |
12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the |
494 |
GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters. |
495 |
|
496 |
13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination |
497 |
of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings. |
498 |
|

505 |
|
506 |
1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when |
507 |
it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator |
508 |
|
509 |
Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix |
510 |
|
511 |
2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library |
512 |
and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it. |
513 |
|
514 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000 |
515 |
|
516 |
1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to |
517 |
Lazarus versions less than 1.1 |
518 |
|
519 |
2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set |
520 |
to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range |
521 |
1250 to 1254. |

530 |
|
531 |
1. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0 |
532 |
Necessary because of TBookmark type and TDataSet.Bookmark property change in fpc 2.7.1 |
533 |
|
534 |
2. IBX now registers TIntegerField as a "No Icon" component. This may be removed if the fpc DB |
535 |
package is changed to do this (which it should do). |
536 |
|
537 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-0) Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:43:00 +0100 |
538 |
|
539 |
1. Add "if active then active := false" to TIBCustomDataset destructor. (Avoid error on database close). |
540 |
|
541 |
2. Make use of $STATIC conditional in IBSQLMonitor (Needed for FPC 2.6.0 compliance) |
542 |
|
543 |
3. Database Property Editor: Character Set drop down box now uses "OnChange" rather than "OnCloseUp" to react to changes |
544 |
|
545 |
4. Property editors should now correctly resize. |
546 |
|
547 |
5. In IBDatabaseEdit.TestClick, the LoginPrompt is now set to the state of the LoginPrompt Checkbox |
548 |
(restored original functionality) |
549 |
|
550 |
6. Under OSX, if IBX fails to load libfbclient.dylib, it will now try and load the firebird |
551 |
library using the absolute path /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Firebird. |
