Delphi

Pascal Script includes the following features: Variables, Constants Standard language constructs: Begin/End If/Then/Else For/To/Downto/Do Case x Of Repeat/Until While uses Exit Continue Break Functions inside the script Calling any external DLL function (no special function headers required) Calling registered external methods All common types like Byte, Shortint, Char, Word, SmallInt, Cardinal, Longint, Integer, String, Real, Double, Single, Extended, Boolean, Array, Record, Enumerations, Variants Allows the importing and use of classes, with events, properties, methods and constructors Allows the importing and use of interface and their members Allows IDispatch dynamic method invocation through Variant Assignment of script functions to Delphi events. Uses byte code as an intermediate format and allows storing and reloading compiled scripts Easy to use component version Support for include files Support for compiler defines Capability to call RemObjects SDK Services from within scripts. Pascal Script includes a tool to create headers for importing classes and interfaces

ListWizard: does at the source level what generics do for you. Useless. OOPFormWizard: let you remove the form components from the publsihed section, making them private, by adding to the form the required manual initialization code. Settings: change menu position and enable clipboard tracking (shaky). third option is useless... About: a very old about box. Object Inspector Font: let's you change the font of that pane. Great for presentations, not all fonts adapt well. Rebuild Wizard: let's you see all projects in a directory tree and build them all in sequence Clip History Viewer: last 9 text entries of the clipboard (if tracking is enabled) VCL Hierarchy: a tree of all currently installed components, including third party ones DB Form Wizard (likely the most usefull!): like the database wizard of the early days, but based on dbExpress. Placed SQLConnection, SQLDataset, DatasetProvider, CleintDataSet, and a series of DBEdits in a form, all at once. No ".net safe" warnings: disables the safe type, safe cast, safe code warnings of the current project. Handly when updating very old projects. Bookmark list (nice): show in a dockable pane the list of bookmarks in the current file. A long due feature of the IDE. Palette Info: shows in the message pane the name of the elemetns of the Tool Palette (list of components and groups). Interesting only for exploring the internals. Add to project manager for .ini: Add a project manager menu items for INI files (useless) ShowDebug Inspector: opens the Debug Inspector (a run time object inspector) for the IDE, letting you view the internals (forms, component, etc) and change some of them. The same component is avaialble for use in your own applications. Publish Project: produced an HTML-ized version of the source code. Very crappy, you get "chinese" due to Unicode errors... will work on it.

enumerators can be added by using class helpers

When you declare a class helper, you're not extending original virtual method table, you just get a new global function that takes a hidden parameter to 'Self' and uses it when calling other class helpers or methods from the original class.

Local Network, Internet - Read or Write Data From EverywhereDelphi provides numerous objects to allow you write applications that exchange data over the network (Internet, intranet, local).
