TB_HFXGD v.1.0 (Microsoft Hierarchical Flex Grid) |
|
The Hierarchical FlexGrid control displays tabular data. Unlike the DataGrid, it is strictly read-only. However, it can sort, merge, and format tables containing strings and pictures. Additionally, the Hierarchical FlexGrid differs from its predecessor, the FlexGrid, in that it can display both summary data and detail data.
A hierarchical rowset is required to display summary-detail information in the Hierarchical FlexGrid control. To create a hierarchical rowset for this control, the Microsoft Data Shape Provider is required in combination with the ADO data control.
TB_HFXGD is a library of wrapper functions that allow you to use this control in procedural form with PowerBASIC. The package includes examples that create a grid control in a DDT dialog using ATL71.DLL as the ActiveX container and binds a recordset to the grid (both using ADO and ADODC). There are also examples that use the DataShape Provider to create an hierarchical rowset. To compile and run the examples you will also need to download TB_ADO28.ZIP, TB_ADODC.ZIP and NWIND.ZIP.

TB_FXGRD v.1.0 (Microsoft Flex Grid) |
|
The Microsoft FlexGrid (MSFlexGrid) control displays and operates on tabular data. It allows complete flexibility to sort, merge, and format tables containing strings and pictures.
You can put text, a picture, or both, in any cell of an MSFlexGrid. The Row and Col properties specify the current cell in an MSFlexGrid. You can specify the current cell in code, or the user can change it at run time using the mouse or the arrow keys. The Text property references the contents of the current cell.
If the text in a cell is too long to display in the cell, and the WordWrap property is set to True, the text wraps to the next line within the same cell. To display the wrapped text, you may need to increase the cells column width (ColWidth property) or row height (RowHeight property).
TB_FXGRD is a library of wrapper functions that allow you to use this control in procedural form with PowerBASIC. The package includes an example that create a grid control in a DDT dialog using ATL71.DLL as the ActiveX container and shows how to set cell properties and how to load a recordset in the grid. It also includes template code to connect to the events fired by the control. To compile and run the examples you will also need to download TB_ADO28.ZIP, and NWIND.ZIP.

||
|
The DataList control allows retrieved data to appear in a list box. The DataCombo control allows retrieved data to appear in a drop-down combo box.
TB_DTLST is a library of wrapper functions that allow you to use these controls in procedural form with PowerBASIC. The package includes examples that create a DataList/DataCombo control in a DDT dialog using ATL71.DLL as the ActiveX container and binds a recordset to the control (both using ADO and ADODC). To compile and run the examples you will also need to download TB_ADO28.ZIP and TB_ADODC.ZIP.

TB_ADODC v.1.0 (Microsoft ADO Data Control) |
|
The ADO Data control uses Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) to quickly create connections between data-bound controls and data providers. Data-bound controls are any controls that feature a DataSource property. Data providers can be any source written to the OLE DB specification.
Although you can use the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) directly in your applications, the ADO Data control has the advantage of being a graphic control (with Back and Forward buttons) and an easy-to-use interface that allows you to create database applications with a minimum of code.
Possible Uses
To create a client, or front-end database application, add the ADO Data control to your dialog. You can have as many ADO Data controls on your dialog as you need. Be aware, however, that the control is a comparatively "expensive" method of creating connections, using at least two connections for the first control, and one more for each subsequent control.
TB_ADODC is a library of wrapper functions to allow you to use the ADO Data Control in procedural form with PowerBASIC, using ATL71.DLL as the AxtiveX container. For examples, download the TB_HFXGD library (Microsoft Hierarchical Grid).

TB_MAPIC v.1.0 (Microsoft MAPI Controls) |
|
Microsoft MAPI Controls (MSMAPI32.OCX) includes two MAPI controls, MAPISession and MAPIMessages.
The MAPISession control signs on and establishes a MAPI session. It is also used to sign off from a MAPI session. The MAPIMessages control allows the user to perform a variety of messaging system functions.
The MAPI controls are invisible at run time. In addition, there are no events for the controls. To use them, you must specify the appropriate methods.
TB_MAPIC is a library of wrapper functions that allow you to use the Microsoft MAPI Controls with the PowerBASIC compilers in procedural form.
Note If you attempt to run a program that uses the MAPI controls, make sure that you have the 32-bit MAPI DLLs installed properly or you may not be able to perform simple MAPI functions such as SignOn.

TB_WINSK v. 1.0 (Microsoft Winsock Control) |
|
The Winsock control, invisible to the user, provides easy access to TCP and UDP network services. It can be used by Microsoft Access, Visual Basic, Visual C++, or Visual FoxPro developers. To write client or server applications you do not need to understand the details of TCP or to call low level Winsock APIs. By setting properties and invoking methods of the control, you can easily connect to a remote machine and exchange data in both directions.
TCP Basics
The Transfer Control Protocol allows you to create and maintain a connection to a remote computer. Using the connection, both computers can stream data between themselves.
If you are creating a client application, you must know the server computer's name or IP address (RemoteHost property), as well as the port (RemotePort property) on which it will be "listening." Then invoke the Connect method.
If you are creating a server application, set a port (LocalPort property) on which to listen, and invoke the Listen method. When the client computer requests a connection, the ConnectionRequest event will occur. To complete the connection, invoke the Accept method within the ConnectionRequest event.
Once a connection has been made, either computer can send and receive data. To send data, invoke the SendData method. Whenever data is received, the DataArrival event occurs. Invoke the GetData method within the DataArrival event to retrieve the data.
UDP Basics
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a connectionless protocol. Unlike TCP operations, computers do not establish a connection. Also, a UDP application can be either a client or a server.
To transmit data, first set the client computer's LocalPort property. The server computer then needs only to set the RemoteHost to the Internet address of the client computer, and the RemotePort property to the same port as the client computer's LocalPort property, and invoke the SendData method to begin sending messages. The client computer then uses the GetData method within the DataArrival event to retrieve the sent messages.
