Open Tools API FAQ GExperts. If you have additions or corrections, please contact me. But, please do not send me questions about how to use the Open Tools API instead, use the resources listed below. What is the Open Tools API The Open Tools API OTA is a set of interfaces that allow developers to add features to the BDS, Delphi, and CBuilder IDEs. These additions are called wizards or experts. Wizards can use the OTA interfaces to modify the IDE, obtain information about the IDEs state, and receive notification of important events. To create wizards, you should first get an IDE version that includes the VCL source Professional, Enterprise, Architect, etc. Tools. API. pas that will make your programming easier. Where is the Open Tools API documented In the latest help update for Delphi 6, in CBuilder 6, and in Delphi 7 the OTA is fairly well documented. Open the iota. hlp file and look at the index there for details. For writing. NET addins in CBuilder and Delphi for. NET, also see my article on the EDN and the two IDE integration packages provided by Code. GearBorland. Sadly, most of the official OTA documentation was removed and is not present anymore in Delphi 8 2. Where can I get help with my Open Tools API questionsSourceTools. APITools. API. pas A good place to learn about the Open Tools API is is the Tools. API. pas unit and the related files in that directory such as Palette. API. pas, Structure. View. API. pas, and Code. Template. API. pas. If you dont have any of those files, try reinstalling the IDE including the source code option, or maybe you need to upgrade to a higher end IDE edition that includes the source files Professional, Enterprise, Architect, etc. All of the OTA interfaces are defined in those files, and many of them have comments about their purpose and usage. Newsgroup Search Engines There are several free web services that allow you to search for answers to previously asked questions in the Open Tools API newsgroup.

Example Code Other Web Sites What is the old OTA and what is the new OTAWhich one should I use The old Open Tools API OTA was the preferred method for addins to interface with the IDE in Delphi 3 and older and was class based. The new OTA is present in DelphiBCB 4 or later and is interface based. This FAQ only covers the new OTA, which consists mainly of the Tools. API. pas unit. Starting with Delphi 8 or greater, you will find a few more files that define the OTA such as Palette. API. pas, Structure. View. API. pas, Code. Template. API. pas, File. History.

The older OTA is depreciated and should no longer be used except to maintain compatibility with older IDE versions. Support for the old OTA will be completely dropped in a future version of Delphi, and existing bugs in it are not being fixed. The old Open Tools API consists of the following units Expt. Intf, File. Intf, IStreams, Tool. Intf, Vcs. Intf, Virt. Intf. Where can I get a simple wizardexpert to customizeHere is the Pascal source for the simplest Hello World wizard using the Open Tools API. Just compile and install this package DPK into the IDE, and try out the new menu item on the Help menu. This example was written and tested in Delphi XE but should work in several other recent IDE versions. Older IDE versions such as Delphi 567 and earlier will require changes to the package list in the DPK. Can I create wizards in CBuilder Yes. The Open Tools API was originally designed with Delphi in mind, so wizards might be easier to create in Delphi, but CBuilder works fine to create native code IDE addins. Can I install a Delphi created wizard into CBuilder Yes, GExperts is one example of an expert written in Delphi that can be compiled and installed into CBuilder. Should I ever call Release on an interface obtained from the IDE It is not necessary to call Release on an IDE interface obtained via the Open Tools API. The interfaces are reference counted for you, and the associated memory will be freed as soon as all interface references go out of scope. Note that you can force the IDE to release an interface by setting all references to nil. How can I add published properties to a TForm descendentAdd published properties to a regular TForm. Add the form to the Object Repository Project menuAdd the form to an existing design time package such as Borland User Components or to a new design time package. Add Dsgn. IntfDesign. Intf to the implementation uses clause of a unit in the package, and add a Register procedure as follows procedure Register. Register. Custom. ModuleTMy. Form, TCustom. Module. end Finally, inherit from your form in the repository inside a project and the new published properties will show up. Remember to not try to link to the new designtime package when building your deployable application. There is also a much more complex method involving writing a module creation expert, a repository expert, and using Create. Module. Ex and different streams, but is much more error prone and for most people, has no advantages. Note that the IDE will not allow you to add both published properties and components to a custom module at the same time. The workaround is to create a form with your custom properties in a package, and then have a descendent form in the repository which adds the components you want there by default. How do I obtain the current project IOTAProject interfaceStarting with Delphi 7, you can use the function Get. Active. Project.

USB Eight Channel Relay Board for Automation. This is relay board with 8 SPDT relays which is controlled via USB protocol. The main purpouse of this relay board is to help you building projects regarding robotics and home automation. You may control differenet electrical devices like lights, DC motors, pneumatic cylinders, lasers and so on. Hints for creating user application in different platforms Visual C, Borland C Builder, Visual Basic and so on are provided. Each such board require one USB port. The more USB ports you have the more Relay boards you may connect. We have Windows examples for VB6, BCB6, Java netbeans, VB. NET 2. 01. 0 Express, C.

Each such board is shown as separate virtual com port VCP on your PC. The relay board outputs are controlled by FT2. RL. It has 8 bit data output register. When data is sent to the register the outputs are set. Change Imei In Symbian. Be sure Synchronous Bit Bang Mode is selected FTDI provides Bit Bang Mode documentation. See here. WARINING When the board is connected to the PC andor the PC is restarted, the relays1,3,5 will be toggled several times. This is because of the structure of the FTDI chip. You can avoid this if you first connect the USB cable and then supply the relay board. This problem is fixed since hardware revsion Rev. There is no protection against reversed polarityIf the Vcc and GND are reversed the board will be damaged Such protection is added since hardware revsion Rev. The board is tested with 1. USB cable and works fine. The board can not work without computer. Denkovi Relay Command Line Tool. The main goal of this project is to help you to use our USB relay boards easily and without any specific knowledge how do they work. This tool is actually shell for all our USB relay boards and it does not matter which is the relay board, the command is the same. Just type one command and the the tool will set, get relay status or even will take temperature value from the board sensor if any. It can be integrated in other software and you dont need to know much about how the USB relay board protocol. With this tool it is like a game and it takes literaly minutes to create for example PHP script and control the USB relay board from smartphone browser. Typical applications for this software are Create desktop icons to turn particular relays. Create BATBASH files to make more complex logic like timers for exampleThe commands can be executed from PHP script. Control our USB relay boards from Android i. Phone mobile devices. The USB relays can be controlled from each softwareplatform which can run external executable files or commands in command line promt.

TIMER COMMAND exectues time critical operations. Well known fact is that every time when we run the command line tool the jvm is runned and this takes significant time. Many users contacted us with requests to execute timer commands for time critical operations. Thats why we added such command. It can perform single pulse, many pulses and even cycles with more complex sequences of pulses and every pulse can be with different time in miliseconds. Please note the state bits must be equal to the relay numer Denkovi. Relay. Command. Line. Tool. jar id1 4 timer 1,1. ON for 1. 0ms, all OFF for 5. ON for 2. 5msjava jar Denkovi. Relay. Command.
