In that case, starting DCC32 with an empty command line (or with a command line consisting of command-line options only and no file name) will cause it to compile the default file name, instead of displaying a syntax summary." This does not work. Area: documentation\online docs (not help) Problem: Remove NetMasters mentions from extras.txt. Steps: Search for "internet" in extras.text file. Area: documentation\online docs (not help) Problem: Readme.txt, under section 10, mentions INET30.BPL and INETDB30.BPL. They should be named xxx40 instead of xxx30. Area: documentation\online docs (not help) Problem: BdeInst.txt has the wrong version number information for BDEINST.DLL (twice). It should be 5,0,0,38 (as stamped on the bdeinst.dll file). Area: documentation\online docs (not help) Problem: Deploy.txt lists for the CSS version not all deployable runtime packages. Inetdb40.bpl and Inet40.bpl are missing. Inet40.bpl needs to go also to the PRO listing. Area: documentation\online docs (not help) Problem: Problem is with Acrobat reader and CD-ROM on-line Developers Guide. In the Index section, there are page references, e.g. 16-21. A click on one of these is supposed to display the relevant page. None of them work ... the following strange behaviour is evident. (a) with references to a page in any chapter up to 22, a message appears: "There was an error while performing an action. Invalid file specification object." (b) with chapters from 23 on, no message, nothing happens. The Acrobat reader on the Delphi 4 CD was installed afresh, and is the only one on my system. I discussed this problem with a technician at Borland Australia tech support, who experienced the same problem. Steps: Run the Acrobat reader program, AcroRd32.exe. Insert Delphi 4 CD-ROM. Open file DG.PDF in Documentation folder. Open Index section, click on any letter e.g. "H". Click on a page reference, e.g. "4-11" after "HandleException". Observe message.

Area: documentation\online docs (not help) Problem: Order of Options in TSaveDialog & the order ot the options in the help are different - makes it difficult to relate on to the other. Same is true in the TOpenDialog. Steps: 1) drop a tsavedialog on a form & hit F1. 2) look at the options property of the component & in the help Area: documentation\online docs (not help)\deploy.txt Problem: We should refer to Open Tools and other non-Borland files in deploy.txt, pointing people to generic web sites for third party deployment rules as appropriate. original text: Deploy.txt on the CD does not discuss the deployment status of the MS file : 40Comupd.exe Considering that D3's could not be distributed, this is an important omission.

This problem exists throughout the whole BDE Administrator help for the German version. e.g. help topic: "Farbige Symbole" or "STANDARD-Aliaseinstellungen" Steps: 1. Load BDE Administrator help (German version) 2. switch to Index page 3. Select the help topic: "Access, Treibereinstellungen" 4. ***Note the layout of the upcoming help text. The line spaces between each parameter explanation are missing. Area: documentation\online help Problem: The online help for OnDrawColumnCell states .... If the OnDrawColumnCell event handler does not use DefaultDrawColumnCell to draw the text for the cell, use the GetFieldValue method to get the text that should be displayed in the cell. ...... Steps: 1) search for OnDrawColumnCell 2) the GetFieldValue is protected and cannot be used as stated, unless hacked OR more correctly the DisplayText propery of the field is used. Area: documentation\online help Problem: In the "About the Code editor" topic, the see-also link to "Working with Event handlers" is broken. Steps: Help | Index, search for Code editor. Choose About the Code editor. Choose See Also | Working with Event Handlers. Area: documentation\online help Problem: The Run Button down down needs to be added and usage clearly stated.

Area: documentation\online help Problem:
Correx for Delphi 3.02 documentation on
"Constructors and destructors": it describes in the
context of "Control Issues" (Object Pascal Guide)
the behaviour that is expected from constructors
and destructors at assembly level.
Among other things, this page says "that an
additional Boolean flag parameter is passed" (in DL)
and that depending on that value, the
constructor "returns a reference to the newly
created object in EAX".
What this text _FAILS_ to mention is that in contrast
to what is
documented elsewhere, the DL (!) value has a
special meaning at the
_END_ of the constructor, too.
Let's take this dummy constructor:
constructor TestMe.Create;
asm
NOP
end;
This disassembles to:
00508278: 84D2 TEST DL, DL
0050827A: 7408 JZ SHORT 8; Target:
00508284
0050827C: 83C4F0 ADD ESP, -10
0050827F: E8FFFFA740 CALL -22720 //
@ClassCreate
00508284: 90 NOP
00508285: 84D2 TEST DL, DL
00508287: 740A JZ SHORT 10; Target:
00508293
00508289: 648F0500000000 POP DWORD
PTR FS:[+00000000]
00508290: 83C40C ADD ESP, +0C
00508293: C3 RET
We clearly can recognize the test of DL at entry
into the constructor.
Then comes our NOP. And then we test DL! -
guess what happens is we have some code
in-between that modifies EDX...
In fact, after having given this behaviour some
thought, it obviously makes sense: the test is
needed to determine whether there was a
failure to create the class - and where to jump to for
destruction.
Unfortunately, that latter part is not documented
anywhere. Nowhere (AFAI can tell) does it say that
there may be situations where you
CANNOT mess around with EDX - usually EDX is
one of those registers that are "freely" available
(see the following page in the online help).

Push Help button in "Select Public Data Directories" (or "Select Private Data Directories") 4. Missing topic. Error dialog will display. Area: documentation\online help Problem: The help for OnKeyUp and OnKeyDown has misleading Win32 API references in it, with regards to virtual key codes The online help requires a page that lists out all the virtual key codes, including the special cases whre codes are not defined in Delphi, and the programmer is required to use the Ord function instead. Steps:
In Delphi, select the form's OnKeyDown or
OnKeyUp event and press F1.
Notice the line: "For non-alphanumeric keys, you
must use WinAPI virtual key codes to determine the
key pressed. For more information, search for
VkKeyScan and VkKeyScanEx in the Win32
Developer's Reference (WIN32.HLP)."
Now it is true that the Delphi 1 Win API help file had
the virtual key codes listed in it (in Delphi 1, choose
Help | Topic search, then look for the topic called
Virtual Key Codes) but the Win32 help file does
_not_.
The help for VkKeyScan happens to mention
VK_NUMPAD0 through VK_DIVIDE as well as
VK_7 andt VK_NUMPAD7, but that's it. Of course
in Delphi, we don't use VK_7, instead we use
Ord('7').
The help for VkKeyScanEx mentions the same view
codes. This is not a helpful reference.
The helkp requires a proper page that discusses
these virtual key codes. It does not need to be an
epic, just a brief outline, and a list of all the virtual
key codes, pointing out which unit defines them (i.e.
Windows.Pas)
In fact, it turns out that the Win32 API help file does
have a list of these codes (including ones that are
not available in Delphi, which should be mentioned
somewhere more clearly). Bring up the API help file
and look up Virtual-Key Codes.

Meanwhile it's possible to call WaitFor from the main thread of a program even if the Synchronize method is called by the thread and even if an OnTerminate event method is defined. Appropriate changes to the doc should be made. However the programmer should be warned not to call WaitFor if the FreeOnTerminate property was set true.
