TODO: find some sleep command for the batch file, as we sometimes get "access denied" while trying to overwrite the just terminated exe. Seems like taskkill doesn't close all handles itself.
- Fix URL opened by btnBuild
- Fetch and display date, revision and note of release/build
- Put the download buttons into separated TGroupBoxes and add a TMemo for Notes above them
- Enable a download button if "download revision" > "current revision". Enables a more exact comparision, especially for releases.
- Remove dodgy "refresh" icon on form.
If you stumble across this compiler notice: "FileAge(File)" is deprecated, while the used overloaded method "FileAge(File, DateTime)" is not. See also: http://groups.google.com/group/borland.public.delphi.rtl.win32/browse_thread/thread/9792bef1ee37a298/75b96783bb4862ee
Implements a simple dialog which tells the user if there is some new release or nightly build available. Parses http://www.heidisql.com/updatecheck.php as a .ini file. Download buttons just start the webbrowser currently.
Todo: Automatic invocation of this dialog at regular intervals (for example once a week)
Todo: Automatic download + update + restart
- Consequently use Mainform.GetRegValue() to read these values, an overloaded method with either Boolean, String or Integer result. These methods keep a global TRegistry object (regMain) open while the application runs, rather than creating a new one for each caller.
- Remove Mainform.SaveRegValue() which was used in one or two callers. Rather use a TRegistry object and do that by hand. There's no significant advantage in using a SaveRegValue method currently.
Error message: <spatial data type> can't have a default value.
Solution: I tried every type of this family data type and found that they needs the flag HasDefault as False.
Related changes:
+ Use modal result values on buttons instead of explicitely setting them via code
+ Move some safe code out of a try .. except because only THandledSQLError's are catched.
Solution: Just keep CreateTableForm open after firing a faulty CREATE TABLE statement.
Note: The "Create" button has ModalResult := mrOK, so the form is automatically closed in the normal case.
- Use variables like "have_innodb" for detection of supported engines.
- Move redundant code from two places to Childwin.TableEnginesCombo()
- Remove some legacy code around this logic
- Don't free the instance of CreateTableForm after closing it. Saves some SQL queries from being fired each time the form gets created.
bug #1850003 "DB treeview context menu opens only on first monitor" and
bug #1846610 "Database View/List Popup Menu position issue"
Although I can't test the solution completely as I'm lacking a second monitor (like the reporter of the first bug), it seems correct that TPopupMenu.Popup() needs the clientorigin added to the mousepoint which is only a relative position to the underlying TWinControl.

- Wording: "table" should be more clear than "objects"
- Source: Add TODO for platform specific method call
- GUI: Add right hand anchor for new radiobutton to ensure it's not covering some borders of the parent box
- Add a fourth radiobutton + edit + button labeled "Directory" below the "File" option
- Code just uses that new option just like the File option. Only differentiate in the InitFileStream method.
- The SelectDirectory() method expects the unit FileCtrl in the USES clause. Silence a relevant compiler warning about usage of platform specific units - we will never compile anything else than a Win32 app here.
The output filename gets parsed and the eventually existing "<table>" pattern gets replaced by either "header", "table1", "table2", ..., or "footer". That means, the single SQL files won't be complete in the end, as the header and footer is missing in the table-files. Not 100% sure if this is a good strategy. For me it seemed like the best/fast/lame way of working around the fact that the header potentially contains a CREATE DATABASE statement.
* TNTGrid is not capable of displaying a sort arrow in column titles. So, signalize sort direction of columns in grids and listviews by lightgrey (= ascending) and mediumgrey (= descending)
* Remove special color for NULL cells in grids because it can conflict with the new sorting colors. Instead, place a grey (NULL) text in these cells. Less gaudy colors now.
* Also remove grey background in primary key columns for the benefit of sorting colors. PK cells have bold font anyway, should be noticable enough.
