Hello,

I've ported a BCB3 project to BCB4, and set manually all properties
OldCreateOrder to 'false'. But when I reload the project (after a
shutdown from BCB4), the property OldCreateOrder has again the value
'true'. I set again the value to 'false', save the form and whole
project, close the IDE, restrat and reload the project : the value is
'true'.

Why does the IDE change the value of properties ?

Thanks for any help.

Are you using form inheritance via the object repository? If so, make
sure you set it to false in the base form as well.

Yes, I use inheritance and the property from superclass is set to
'false' (and stay false when reloading the whole project).

Didier Kuttel

Override the Loaded() method of the base form to read something like:

void TFormBase::Loaded (void)
{
        TForm::Loaded();
        OldCreateOrder = false;

I've posted this workaround for the bug again and again when I've seen someone
have this problem, but it doesn't seem to have got through to Team B yet.<s>

Pete Barrett

i reported this in a bug to Borland a couple of months ago and got a
response that the tester reproduced the problem.  Hopefully there will be
another patch.  If not it should be fixed in  BCB5. :)

Hi, Didier!

I believe if you move your code in the OnCreate to the constructor
(which is where it really belongs), OldCreateOrdr doesn't matter.

It's a pain, but its a good idea.

If you have no time... to rewrite you appl. with new OldCreateOrder,- you
can avoid this problem ( but for static linking only...sorry...) :
Problem:
    - OldCreateOrder not saved in child's forms and TDataMidule too...
    - I'm not know about this before...and now too...But my BCB3 project not
working...

1. Open you forms.hpp file from $(BCB)\include\vcl in any ediitor
2. Find TDataModule class declaration and add this lines :
protected:
 virtual void __fastcall Loaded(void);
3. Create new Patch.cpp file in any project with whis lines and compile it:

patch.h :

#ifndef patchH
#define patchH
#endif

patch.cpp:

#include <vcl.h>
#pragma hdrstop

#include "patch.h"
#include <forms.hpp>

void __fastcall TCustomForm::Loaded()
{
    TWinControl *Control ;

    TScrollingWinControl::Loaded() ;
    OldCreateOrder=false ;
    if( ActiveControl ){
        Control = ActiveControl ;
        FActiveControl = NULL ;
        if( Control->CanFocus() ) SetActiveControl(Control) ;
    }

void __fastcall TDataModule::Loaded()
{
    TComponent::Loaded() ;
    OldCreateOrder=false ;
#pragma package(smart_init)

3. Copy patch.obj in $(BCB)\lib\obj direcory
4. Open you project, - view makefile,- add to the END of SPARELIBS section
patch.obj.
5. Build you project and forget about OldCreateOrder.

Hi, Dmitri!

It is better to avoid using OnCreate and to move that code to the
constructor ASAP.

Hi, Dmitri!

Yes, I get paid for improving my software as part of the maintenance
process. My management understands this is in the best interest of the
company.

If that was your question...
