I want to create a custom control (from TPanel) that holds some TImages.
I want to display PNG (with transparency) into those mages. Therefore, I am TRYING to attach the PNG via IDE's "Resource and Images" to the package.
The problem is that when I put the component into a test application it will fail on MyPng->LoadFromResourceName line with "resource not found". Interestingly, if I add the PNG as a resource to the test application, it will work.
This means that the component is looking into the wrong module for the PNG resource.
I print the instance with ShowMessage it shows indeed "ComponentTester.exe".
__fastcall TVolumeCtrl::TVolumeCtrl(TComponent* Owner)
: TPanel(Owner)
{
HINST h = FindClassHInstance(__classid(TVolumeCtrl));
ShowMessage(GetModuleName(h));
TPngImage *Png3 = new TPngImage();
MyPng->LoadFromResourceName(h, "Btn1");
How to get the correct instance?
Note: The PNG files ARE compiled into the RES file generated. I looked inside with a Hex viewer.
The only explanation that makes sense is that you are not using runtime packages. So you aren't loading the module that contains the resource.
The right way to link the resource for the component is to use a $R directive in the source file that declares the type, TVolumeCtrl in this case. That way the resource will be linked to whichever module contains the implementation of TVolumeCtrl. That's going to be a package when you are compiling the runtime package (which is used at designtime by your designtime package), and it will be the executable when you compile an executable that does not use runtime packages.

Does anyone have experience with using resource for styles. I'm working on a program for which we created a custom Style. We saved it as .style and as .vsf. Because we don't want the user to see/change the style of the programm we want to include it in our resource file (.res) This is done as explained in next Link: Customizing and Creating VCL Styles Afterwards the created file (Tested with .style and .vsf) is placed in the Resourcefile as RC Data.
Thats the preparation, now what didn't work. (tWinMain)
TStyleManager::SetStyle(TStyleManager::LoadFromResource((unsigned int)HInstance, "StyleName", RT_RCDATA));
This also doesn't work:
TStyleManager::LoadFromResource((unsigned int)HInstance, "StyleName", RT_RCDATA);
TStyleManager::SetStyle("StyleName");
also not working
TStyleManager_TStyleServicesHandle MyStyle;
MyStyle = TStyleManager::LoadFromResource((unsigned int)HInstance, "StyleName", RT_RCDATA);
TStyleManager::SetStyle(MyStyle);
All three methodes resulting in the error message: Invalid Style-handle
Loading the same style from a file works:
TStyleManager::LoadFromFile(stylePath + "StyleName.vsf");
TStyleManager::SetStyle("StyleName");
I had the same problem in Delphi (DX10.3) and the following worked for me
Basically the same call of "TStyleManager::LoadFromResource", but without the specification of the optional parameter "RT_RCDATA".
MyStyle = TStyleManager::LoadFromResource((unsigned int)HInstance, "StyleName");
TStyleManager::SetStyle(MyStyle);
But then the resource type "VCLSTYLE" is necessary to load the style correctly. When adding the resource in the IDE, with [Project] > [Resources and Pics...] you can only specify RCDATA in the dialog, which is bad. But you can enter the resource type directly manual with the keyboard as "VCLSTYLE". The IDE remembers this setting and now the resource is available as the correct type. As said before, it works with Delphi 10.3, with the Builder it depends on one try.

I'm trying to use LestMove to be more precise
the second implementation method where it says:
Option 2:
Copy the following files into your project:
PFMoveApplication.h
PFMoveApplication.m
If your project has ARC enabled, you'll want to disable ARC on the above files. You can do so by adding -fno-objc-arc compiler flag to your PFMoveApplication.m source file. See How can I disable ARC for a single file in a project?
If your application is localized, also copy the 'MoveApplication.string' files into your project.
Link your application against Security.framework.
In your app delegate's "-[applicationWillFinishLaunching:]" method, call the PFMoveToApplicationsFolderIfNecessary function at the very top.
but I'm not able to call the method / Class, could someone help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!
In general, there are a couple of ways to set up an Objective-C class in your AppleScriptObjC project:
Add the file(s) to the project - the Objective-C class name will be
the one used in the #interface/#implementation declarations
Add an outlet property in the AppleScript class/script you are using, e.g. property someProperty : missing value
Instantiate the class programmatically:
set someProperty to current application's ClassName's alloc's init()
or
Connect stuff up with the Interface Builder:
Add an NSObject (blue cube) from the library to your project
Set the class of the object/cube to the class name of the Objective-C file(s) in the Identity Inspector
Connect the AppDelegate IB Outlet to the object/cube in the Connections Inspector
After setting up the outlet property, the Objective-C methods can be used like any other script/class:
someProperty's handler()
That LetsMove project wasn't really set up for AppleScriptObjC, but I was able to tweak it a bit to get it running. I'm not that great at writing Objective-C, but the following worked for me using a new default AppleScript project with Xcode 10 in Mojave (the original file is over 500 lines long, so I'm just highlighting the changes):
Add PFMoveApplication.h and PFMoveApplication.m files to the project (the class name is LetsMove)
Add Security.framework to Link Binary With Libraries in Build Phases
As described in the original project README, add the compiler flag -fno-objc-arc to the Objective-C file in Compile Sources of the Build Phases
-- Now to alter the Objective-C files a bit:
Move the #interface declaration to the .h file and include the redefined method signatures below in it:
The PFMoveToApplicationsFolderIfNecessary and PFMoveIsInProgress methods are redefined as instance methods:
- (void)PFMoveToApplicationsFolderIfNecessary;
- (BOOL)PFMoveIsInProgress;
Redefine the above method signatures in the .m file, and include those methods in the #implementation section - to do this, move the #end to just before the helper methods (after the PFMoveIsInProgress method)
Remove the isMainThread statement at the beginning of the PFMoveToApplicationsFolderIfNecessary method - this is not not needed (AppleScript normally runs on the main thread), and fixes another issue
There is still a little stuff in there from the original app such as NSUserDefaults, so for your own project, give it a look to see if anything else needs changing (dialog text, etc)
And finally, in the AppDelegate.applescipt file, the following was added to applicationWillFinishLaunching:
current application's LetsMove's alloc's init()'s PFMoveToApplicationsFolderIfNecessary()
I have a gdnative library loaded in my godot. I can also call functions on it, that works. But I want to instantiate c++-Classes from it inside Godot.
I think I have to generate .gdns files for that to work, but i dont really find a example of that.
I created a .gdns script already with the New Script Dialogue. I named it exactly like the c++ class. And I set the Library in the scripts inspector and set ClassName to MyClass. But the following does not work as someClass is Null:
var someclass = load("res://MyClass.gdns").new();
someclass.method("myMethod");
What did I do wrong?
I tried to follow this tutorial.
Im Using Godot 1.1 and compiled the gdnative-library with the appropriate Godot-cpp headers.
I created a .gdns file with the New Resource Dialogue and it worked then (after setting the library and Class-name of the .gdns in the Inspector).
I'll add more here when I found out why it didn't work before.
My application uses log4j but OkHttpClient uses java util logging. So apart from log4j.properties, I created a logging.properties file with the following contents:
handlers=java.util.logging.FileHandler
.level=FINE
okhttp3.internal.http2.level=FINE
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = logs/%hjava%u.log
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 50000
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 1
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.XMLFormatter
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINE
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
I then added this to jvm params used for starting the application -Djava.util.logging.config.file="file://${BASE_DIR}/logging.properties"
But I don't see any new folders being created as indicated by the Filehandler. Any one know why?
But I don't see any new folders being created as indicated by the Filehandler. Any one know why?
The FileHandler will not create any new folders. A directory must be created before the FileHandler will create a file.
The system property requires a path to file that is located on the filesystem It will not expand system properties or environment variables by using the dollar sign syntax.
You can use a relative path based off of the working directory or you have to use an absolute path to the logging.properties. The logging properties can not be packaged inside of an archive.
If you want to work around this limitation then you want to create a custom config class and use the java.util.logging.config.class property in conjunction with the java.util.logging.config.file property. You then write a class that reads the file://${BASE_DIR}/logging.properties and performs the needed transformation into a path to a file. Then update the configuration if you are using JDK9 or newer. On older versions you need to use readConfiguration and add code to work work around limitations of the LogManager
I'm trying to create my RKEntityMapping outside of my UnitTest. The problem I have is it only works if I create it inside my test. For example, this works:
RKEntityMapping *accountListMapping = [RKEntityMapping mappingForEntityForName:#"CustomerListResponse" inManagedObjectStore:_sut.managedObjectStore];
[accountListMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:#{#"count": #"pageCount",
#"page": #"currentPage",
#"pages": #"pages"}];
While the following does now work. The all to accoutListMapping returns exactly what is shown above using the same managed object store:
RKEntityMapping *accountListMapping = [_sut accountListMapping];
When the RKEntityMapping is created in _sut I get this error:
<unknown>:0: error: -[SBAccountTests testAccountListFetch] : 0x9e9cd10: failed with error:
Error Domain=org.restkit.RestKit.ErrorDomain Code=1007 "Cannot perform a mapping operation
with a nil destination object." UserInfo=0x8c64490 {NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot perform
a mapping operation with a nil destination object.}
I'm assuming the nil destination object it is referring to is destinationObject:nil.
RKMappingTest *maptest = [RKMappingTest testForMapping:accountListMapping
sourceObject:_parsedJSON
destinationObject:nil];
Make sure that the file you have created has a target membership of both your main target, and your test target. You can find this by:
clicking on the .m file of your class
open the utilities toolbar (the one on the right)
in the target membership section tick both targets.
This is because if your class does not have target membership to your test target, the test target actually creates a copy of the class that you have created, meaning it has a different binary file to the main target. This leads to that class using the test's version of the RestKit binary, rather than the main projects RestKit. This will lead to the isKindOfClass method failing when it tries to see if the mapping you have passed is of type RKObjectMapping from the main project, because it is of type RKObjectMapping from the test projects version of RestKit, so your mapping doesn't get used, and you get your crash.
At least this is my understanding of how the LLVM compiler works. I'm new to iOS dev so please feel free to correct if I got something wrong.
This problem may also be caused by duplicated class definitions, when including RestKit components for multiple targets individually when using Cocoapods.
For more information on this have a look at this answer.
I used a category on the Mapped object for example
RestKitMappings+SomeClass
+ (RKObjectMapping*)responsemappings {
return mappings;
}
now this category has to be included in the test target as well otherwise the mapping will not be passed.
When you're running a test you aren't using the entire mapping infrastructure, so RestKit isn't going to create a destination object for you. It's only going to test the mapping itself. So you need to provide all three pieces of information to the test method or it can't work.
