TSimpleGraph Issues (and wish list)

Please post bug reports, feature requests, or any question regarding the DELPHI AREA projects here.

I have a problem with a bug only in delphi5 when inserting a link in SimpleGraph 2.61:

Code: Select all
procedure TSimpleGraph.MouseDown(Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
var
  Pt: TPoint;
  NewObject: TGraphObject;
begin
  if not Focused then SetFocus;
  inherited MouseDown(Button, Shift, X, Y);
  Pt := ClientToGraph(X, Y);
  CheckObjectAtCursor(Pt);
  case CommandMode of
    cmInsertNode, cmInsertLink:
      if Assigned(DragSource) then
        DragSource.MouseDown(Button, Shift, Pt)
      else if (Button = mbLeft) and not (ssDouble in Shift) then
      begin
        NewObject := nil;
        case CommandMode of
          cmInsertNode:
            NewObject := InsertObjectByMouse(Pt, DefaultNodeClass, SnapToGrid xor (ssCtrl in Shift));
          cmInsertLink:
            NewObject := InsertObjectByMouse(Pt, DefaultLinkClass, SnapToGrid xor (ssCtrl in Shift));
        end;

      showmessage('MouseDown Hier1');

        if Assigned(NewObject) then
        begin
          NewObject.Selected := True;
          NewObject.MouseDown(Button, Shift, Pt);

      showmessage('MouseDown Hier2');

          if DragSource <> NewObject then
          begin

      showmessage('MouseDown Hier3');

            CommandMode := cmEdit;

      showmessage('MouseDown Hier4');

            ObjectChanged(NewObject, [gcData]);
          end
          else
            CursorPos := Pt;
          RenewObjectAtCursor(NewObject);
        end;
      end;
    cmPan:
      if (Button = mbLeft) and not (ssDouble in SHift) then
      begin
        fDragSourcePt.X := X;
        fDragSourcePt.Y := Y;
        Screen.Cursor := crHandGrab
      end;
  else
    if Assigned(ObjectAtCursor) and (CommandMode <> cmViewOnly) and
      (goSelectable in ObjectAtCursor.Options)
    then
      ObjectAtCursor.MouseDown(Button, Shift, Pt)
    else if  ((Button = mbLeft)
             and not (ssDouble in Shift)
             and     (CommandMode <> cmViewOnly))
             or
             ((Button = mbLeft)
             and not (ssDouble in Shift)
             and     (ssAlt in Shift)
             and     (CommandMode = cmViewOnly))
    then   {HPW commandmode check}
    begin
      fDragSourcePt := Pt;
      fDragTargetPt := Pt;
      MarkedArea := MakeRect(fDragSourcePt, fDragTargetPt);
      Screen.Cursor := crCross;
    end;
  end;
end;


Code: Select all
procedure TSimpleGraph.SetCommandMode(Value: TGraphCommandMode);
begin
  if CommandMode <> Value then
  begin
    if Assigned(DragSource) then
      begin
      showmessage('Hier1');
      DragSource.EndDrag(False);
      showmessage('Hier2');
      end;
    fCommandMode := Value;
    if not (CommandMode in [cmPan, cmEdit]) then
      SelectedObjects.Clear;
    CalcAutoRange;
    DoCommandModeChange;
  end;
end;


When I try to insert a link-line in EditMode starting at a empty area, I reach:
showmessage('MouseDown Hier3');

but only in delphi5 and not in delphi7!

In delphi 5 it reaches then SetCommandMode with:
showmessage('Hier1');
and throw an access vilation in:
DragSource.EndDrag(False);

Any ideas whats going wrong in D5 and how to workaround?

It seems to be a serious bug in Delphi 5 compiler. The problem is loosing address of fDragSource variable, that causes any access to fDataSource, generates an AV exception.

I couldn't find a workaround, sorry.

Thanks for the info.

I can switch to delphi 7 but there I have still the problem with the tooltip shadows.

viewtopic.php?t=643&highlight=shadow

I have contacted the neobook author, if he could enable the shadow it the neobook host-app. Maybe then it would be removed properly.

Or can I disable the tooltip shadow somehow in my form, where I use TSimplegraph?

The hint problem could be because of Delphi 7 XP theme manager. Did you check it?

The hints are managed by Delphi classes and SimpleGraph manages the hints as like as other controls.

If your application had a reference to XPMan unit, the XP Theme manager is enabled.

There is the problem, the application is neobook (where I have no control, but it has no shadows) and my plugin is only a form from a DLL running in neobook.

I found this code to enable the shadows in D5

http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/de/showcode.php?id=1182

So maybe I can disabele it in my plugin code for D7.

Yes, you can do it by offing the CS_DROPSHADOW bit.

The forum seems to have problem with double posts.

How would I do that?
:oops:

In OnCreate of the form?

No, it's because of my connection. :)

You have to create your own Hint Window class. Here is an example of such a class.

Code: Select all
type
  TNoShadowHintWindow = class(THintWindow)
  protected
    procedure CreateParams(var Params: TCreateParams); override;
  end;

procedure TNoShadowHintWindow.CreateParams(var Params: TCreateParams);
const
  CS_DROPSHADOW = $00020000;
begin
  inherited CreateParams(Params);
  Params.WindowClass.Style := Params.WindowClass.Style and not CS_DROPSHADOW;
end;

initialization
  HintWindowClass := TNoShadowHintWindow;
end.

Great thanks, I will give it a try in the evening.

By the way, will you remove the D5 compatibility sign on the TSimpleGraph product page now?

Kambiz,

I tried it with D7 and now the plugin has a D5 compatibel tooltip!
Thanks again for the valuable tip.
Now I am working on a D7 based new release of the plugin for neobook.
The next feature will be to offer simple linklines as drawing lines for the canvas.

Are you sure that it works in D4/D6 ?

I could resolve the problem. The compiler was confusing with default parameters of InsertLink method.

I tested SG on D4, D5, D6, D7, and D2005.
