* Use AttrCount and Attribute[x] in SynEditHighlighters to iterate through available attributes, instead of doing less with more code.
* Use integer registry values for highlighter colors (were strings) and also integers for bold, italic, underline, strikeout (was one boolean per attribute).
a) optimizes registry access b) normalizes registry names and c) simplifies code. Unfortunately this breaks everyone's customized highlighter style - hopefully ok to do this is in an interim build.
* Leads to unpredictable errors in special cases
* Advantage over SHOW TABLE STATUS is hardly measurable
* Makes integrating stored routines into the database tab complex and unstable for the benefit of nothing
* Keep only one TRegistry object in memory instead of creating a new one in each routine.
* Move out relevant functions and TRegistry object from main to helpers to make them usable globally.
The bug seems caused by any TUpDown + TEdit which fire OnChange when they get visible for the first time. PageControl.OnChanging + .OnChange help here.
* Remove sub tabs
* Replace the color panels by a combobox showing which item is to be changed and a color combo box.
* Add a SynMemo, displaying color and font changes immediately using some sample SQL text.
* Normalize component names
* Apply and use modal results to OK and Cancel buttons
* Fix apply button to be enabled after changing NULL color
* Fix all tab orders
* Fix cut labels on Vista
* Also disable btnOK after applying changes
* Find better/shorter captions for main tabs
* Remove form borders and apply 8px edge margins instead
* Indicate in CSV files which rows need to be UNHEX()ed with LOAD DATA INFILE during import. Takes care of export part of issue #709.
* Optimization: stop copying records and arrays to stack where appropriate. See also note in helpers.pas.
* Factor out code to extract a cell in it's full width into EnsureFullWidth().
* Create method DiscardData() to release memory for a row.
* Bugfix: GridTo{Xml,Csv,Html} did not export cells in their full widths; they do now. Fixes remainder of issue #685.
* Bugfix: remove superfluous field separator at end of each CSV record.
* Bugfix: CSV field enclose characters within field data must be escaped by printing the enclose character twice, as per de-facto (is it a standard when there are hundreds of applications supporting it, but *all* the major ones all come from the same company?..) CSV.
* Indicate in CSV files which cells are NULL by removing field enclosing (non-standard MySQL CSV extension).
* Indicate in XML files which cells are null and which cells are in hexadecimal format.
* Bugfix: always escape <, &, > in HTML and XML files.
Affected issues: rfe #618, rfe #464, bug #324, bug #635 (maybe more)
Breaks: Unicode grid editing (due to yet unsolved bug #620), enum pulldowns, MEMO editing
Major changes:
- editor tab at bottom completely removed, SQL log is always visible now.
- memo, blob and enum editors don't have a replacement yet. This is left for later commits.
- grid cells are colorized to signalize their datatypes
- UPDATEs, DELETEs and INSERTs are composed by own code, no longer by Zeos internal mechanisms. Should make debugging easier.
- UPDATEs + DELETEs on tables without unique key are blocked now.
- editing in the query grid is always blocked. Would need some extensive parser to allow that.
a) some hundred lines of code from childwin.pas to main.pas
b) redundant hints/captions/shortcuts/events for similar buttons/menuitems to their corresponding TAction in main.dfm .
This change
a) avoids several inconsistent captions like described in issue #595
b) makes it easier to have toolbars on the mainform which are controlled by childform.
- 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.
* 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.
