 DELPHI DEVELOPER SUPPORT
Delphi 3 Client/Server Update Patch:
Delphi 3 Client/Server Maintenance Release 2
Instructions for Use
This patch is intended for use with the Client/Server version of
the Delphi 3 update (Maintenance Release 1). Do not
attempt to use this patch with another version. There are separate
patches for the Standard and Professional versions.
NOTE
Because of filename collisions, this patch does not include updates
to the .DCU files in the SLIB directory. If you use these files for
debugging, be sure to install the SLIB patch as well.
Instructions:
- Copy dcs302.exe to the "root" of your Delphi 3 installation.
(by default, C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi 3).
- Close Delphi and all Delphi applications that use packages.
- Run dcs302.exe.
- Recompile all your Delphi projects to incorporate the fixes.

Partial List of Fixes
Below is a partial list of fixes that are included in this patch.
- Image lists that do not include masks can now be streamed out.
- Finally blocks inside safecall procedures were not always called
when an exception was raised. This has been fixed.
- String conversion problems with converting Variant data into
OleVariant data have been fixed.
- MAPI initialization can now reliably detect when MAPI is installed.
- Changes to COM initialization prevent crashes when shutting down
client applications.
- TOleControl has been fixed to handle array parameters passed to event
methods.
- Problems with inserting detail records using client datasets are fixed.
- In the client application of multi-tiered applications, you can now
use the object inspector to set the Provider property of a client
dataset to a provider component in the same form or data module.
- You can now create a TMIDASConnection object, use it to connect to the
server, call GetProvider, and then free the MIDAS connection object
all in one routine.
- Problems using TMIDASConnection to call methods that return data in
var parameters or out parameters have been fixed.
- Windows common controls behave differently, depending on which version
of Internet Explorer is installed on the system. A number of fixes
are included to allow programs to adjust to these differences:
- TLibImp.exe is more tolerant of invalid type library entries. A
command line switch was added to disable warning messages. If you
can't import an ActiveX control or COM server typelib into the type
library editor, you can now use TLibImp from the command line instead.
