Hi there again

I am attempting to build the EDBManager project, as I hardwire the LocalEncryptioPassword, LocalSignature, LoginPassword, RemoteEncryptionPassword and RemoteSignature. I also make some minor changes to this outstanding utility, and call it my own

I am running version 2.22 Build 2 on Delphi XE8. The target platform is 64 bit, and the database is Unicode.

I compiled the manager a couple of months ago, but today it will not compile, saying "Undeclared identifier: TEDBApplicationEvent". I can't find any references to that object anywhere, so I am at a loss as to how I can compile a new version.

XE8 has been bombing all over the place, so perhaps a library path has been lost, but it all appears OK.

Has anyone any suggestions please?

Regards

Peter

Sounds like a procedure definition, like TEvent to me, not an object.
Disk search?

Did a quick test here (running 2.23 B2 though) - compiled and installed
edbutilcomps and then tried edbmanager, I did have an issue with the
{$I} directive on top of edbmgr unit but after it compiles fine.

Did a quick search in source and i cannot find a reference to to
TEDBApplicationEvent - looks like your code to me.

Search again - I find 5 references in the Elevate DB source. THe
definition is in edbutilcomps.pas - first type there.

 TEDBApplicationEvent = class;
 TEDBQueueEvent = class;
....

No luck here - is this in 2.23 b2 source ?

My edbutilcomps.pas (there are 2 of them) has no reference to TEDBApplicationEvent nor TEDBQueueEvent.

No idea. It does though indicate the root problem, which will be an
incompatible source set on the disk. On mine, TSQLForm has

procedure ProcessEventQueue(Event: TEDBApplicationEvent;
      var Processed: Boolean);


If that is different in later versions, then it being missing means
that the code versions are incompatible, and updating fully (and
eliminating the other versions) will get Peter working again.

None of that exist. Closest i can think of is that newer version has
TSQLEvent and TSQLEventPool so that might have replaced it.

Agreed - definitely looks like Peter has a mix of old/new units on path.

Peter,

Sorry, I completely misread your original question and thought that you were talking about the TApplicationEvents class, not the TEDBApplicationEvent class, and I thought that it was a general Delphi question.

The TEDBApplicationEvent class no longer exists - it was removed in 2.22 when the handling of the server events was changed to use Windows messages instead of the existing design.

If you're running into an issue with compiling *any* of the utility source code, make sure that you're using the 2.22 or higher versions of the source code for the utility, and not something older.
