Delphi Tutorial

As developers we’re always doing the same tasks over again, and one task is often connecting to a desktop email application. So what happens when you want to change your application to support a new email client, or want to add new functionality?

Using the Mailbox SDK you can easily connect to any email client using just one protocol, right from your desktop application. Features Mailbox SDK allows you to build a wide variety of applications, and the SDK includes several examples written in C++, C# and Borland Delphi.

Application settings management is a important and base part of any application. Usually TIniFile and TRegistry classes are used for this purpose. Our company is pleased to offer new way for application settings management. Storage library is a collection of components allowing for work with application settings. The concept of Storage library is very elegant and simple:

• The TrsStorage – main component that hold all data on tree-like in-memory structure;
• Several TrsStorageData components that exchange data with ini, bin, xml files, registry or TStream;
• Several TrsStorageClient components that simplify work with data;
• Several TrsEncryptor components that encode data with various algorithms using.

paxCompiler is an embeddable compiler of the Object Pascal programming language. The key features of the paxCompiler are:

• The compiler generates machine code for Intel compatible processors (IA-32 architecture).
• It is possible to use the compiler as a scripting engine. You can embed the compiler into host application, register host-defined types, routines, variables and constants for the engine, read/write script-defined variables, call script-defined functions etc. You can save/load compiled scripts to/from a stream.
• The compiler was initially written in Borland Delphi as a set of Delphi components. TPaxCompiler, TPaxProgram and TPaxPascalLanguage are Delphi components that allows you to embed the paxCompiler into Delphi, Kylix or Borland C++ Builder application so you can customize and extend the application without having to recompile it.
• Source code of paxCompiler is compatible with Free Pascal 2.0.
• paxCompiler, implemented as paxcompilerlib.dll, can be used for scripting Microsoft Visual C++ applications.
• The compiler supports Object Pascal language based on the Delphi 7 standard.
• Script-defined functions support register (Borland fastcall), cdecl, stdcall, safecall, pascal and msfastcall (Microsoft fastcall) calling conventions. The default calling convention is stdcall. (You can change it by means of TPaxPascalLanguage.SetCallConv method).
• COM support.
• TPaxCompilerDebugger and TPaxCompilerExplorer components implement debugger (breakpoints, call stack, watches, step over, trace into, run to cursor, pause) and code explorer capabilities.
• You can import host-defined types with paxCompiler importer.
• You can create stand alone executable files.
• paxCompiler engine is thread safe.
• The roadmap of the compiler includes: JavaScript compiler, Basic compiler and C compiler, cross-language programming, built-in assembler.

This component uses the IE’s HTTP / HTTPS mechanism (WinInet) to connect to a web server and perform GET or POST operations, (either multipart or urlencoded).

It supports content decompression, invalid or expired https certificates, and uses the existing proxy settings for the current connection so the only thing you will need is to set the URL and call the execute method.

It also supports unicode, and can automatically convert from UTF-8, UTF-16 and ANSI encodings.

LMD IDE-Tools is collection of native VCL components which help you to set up a complete IDE environment in a quick and easy way. Extend your applications by providing your customers enhanced possibilities – either by custom scripts or even complete dialogs or additional forms.

Besides that LMD IDE-Tools adds an additional integration package which combines the abilities and features of the standalone packages and adds high level features like IDE services (component palette, IDE manager, synchronizing services), project manager tools (handling of different documents, project view), advanced designing features (alignment palette, support for component editors, object/component view) and so on. An example IDE project (supporting the script languages included in LMD ScriptPack) is shipped with the complete package which demonstrates how to set up a complete IDE project.
