Speaking of TAction...

There is a problem when using TActions (the standard, vanilla Action components - not the ActionBand stuff) inside a TActiveForm. In a nutshell, they just don't wor, so I logged a QC report on it. In talking with some people, the question that keeps coming up is: "Do people actually use ActiveForms?" So, please, if you are using ActiveForms, do a few things for me:

Go to the QC report and rate it and/or leave a comment saying that you use ActiveForms
If you also use (or want to use) TActions in your ActiveForms, vote for the report
Leave a comment here

Even though this issue affects me directly, I'm inclined to think that this is a corner case that isn't really in the mainstream. If that assumption proves to be wrong, then at least we will have some facts to help support the position.

See the following Web page for a satisfactory workaround

We are using ActiveForms (see: http://www.infront.no/xquote.htm) and would like to see this issue fixed. This would make it easier to share code between the AxtiveX and Win32 App version of our code.

Btw, Dan, the links in your posts are "invisible" until you hoover the mouse over them - irritating, and makes it harder for people to notice or find the QC report link, for instance.

For the record, its: http://qc.borland.com/wc/wc.exe/details?ReportID=8107

Hallvard, I'll use your syntax for hrefs from here on out. As for the invisible links, I'll investigate. I imagine I need to update the skin to post a better color. Hang in there.

Thanks again for the feedback.

I modified the code in the link that vk submitted slightly, and uploaded the attachment to the original QC report. It sure looks promising. Thanks!

Dan,

Glad you liked the workaround but thanks should go to Paul Klink, the author of the article.

Talking of ActiveForms bugs, could I ask you to vote for my reported bug http://qc.borland.com/wc/wc.exe/details?ReportID=7775 as a small token of appreciation! :)
