I use the free embedded nexus DB binary.
I use their approach to have a unit called embeddeddm created before my mainform to activate my database and tables.
I have some imageendbview that do not load the graphic anymore. the component is blank. In design time, it looks like it is showing but becomes blank when i run the app.
If i get rid of the embeddeddm unit and move the database and tables to the mainform, it works.
Is it something that changed in the imageendbview component ?

| I see. but it is not really a component you drop on the form. You have to extract the image from the database and then assign it to an imageenview. Not really what i want to do but if it is the only way i can see if i can make it work. the imageenviewDB was great. |

Not sure really on how to make it work. i have a table with a few blob fields for my graphics. in this example i only want to retrieve the field called HorizWB_View.
fDBBitmap := TIEDBBitmap.Create(embeddeddm.DataSource_Calibration, 'HorizWB_View', 'HorizWB_View' );
Not really sure if i am supposed to replace 'image' and 'name' with my field.
when i write
ImageEnView_Horiz.SetExternalBitmap( fDBBitmap );
FreeAndNil( fDBBitmap );
Nothing is showing up.
What am i doing wrong ?
Thanks. |

I also tried
fDBBitmap := TIEDBBitmap.Create();
fDBBitmap.DataSource := EmbeddedDM.DataSource_Calibration;
fDBBitmap.ImageBlobField := 'HorizWB_View';
ImageEnView_Horiz.SetExternalBitmap(fDBBitmap); |

Hi Pierre
Sorry, I wasn't saying that you needed to remove the TImageEnDBView, just pointing out that TImageEnDBView is unlikely to have changed since about v6 so the code issue is likely to be elsewhere.
For TIEDBBitmap, which of your database fields is the filename or name of the image? Which one is a blob field containing the image (same as the DataField property of TImageEnDBView )?

Nigel, i am attaching a sample project. If you do not have nexus DB, you can get the free binaries from get it.
As you can see, the imageenDBview is empty. If i move the table from the dmembedded unit to the main form, it works.
I know it used to work. not sure when something broke.
Maybe you can find out.

Nigel, have you had a chance to check with the imageenView DB is not loading ? My other DB components like combobox load fine. just not the iamgeen.

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to look at this.
I don't have Nexus DB and can't install it on my dev machine.

| You can have it for free like i did. Just open getit from delphi main page and search for it. like i mentioned in an earlier message, the binaries are free. |

Hi
It's not the cost. This machine has to be very clean, so I cannot install anything unrelated onto it. Can it work without being installed? e.g. can you upload the DLLs?

I have no idea if uploading the dll would work. it installs components in delphi and some binaries to edit tables and database.
Maybe it is the latest update from Nexusdb that broke it. The thing is that in design time, the image shows up but when you run the app, it does not.
Never mind, i can just put all the tables and database on the mainform. It makes the screen sloppy due to too many components.

no problem. it is certainly something i am doing. used to work though.
i'll work on it. if you have not changed your code on imageendbview, then it may be nexus. |

| On the same line, i do have issues and it is not related to nexusdb. I have an imageenview with a wallpaper. The wallpaper shows up if i set the designtimeview as dvblank but when i run the app the iamgeenview is blank. |

So the wallpaper has been set at design time?
If you call ImageEnView1.Invalidate() or ImageEnView1.Update() at runtime, does the wallpaper appear?

It shows in design but goes blank in runtime. This code has not changed though.

I have modified the thumbnail demo. i added a small imageenview with a picture of a chain inside. you see it in design time but it goes away in runtime.

Nigel, when you have a chance, run the latest demo i uploaded. i have a small imageenview i added at the bottom left where you can see a chain wallpaper. when you run it, it's gone. i bet if i solve that i may solve my nexusdb issue too.
Thanks |
