Hello all,

I encounter an issue with the display of string value in DB grid.
Here is a screenshot of the pb:

You can reproduce it following this way:
- Feed the grid with data, having Field.DataType like dtExtString, dtExtWideString
- Modify the value of a field (here LIBQTER).
- Stay on the line, quit the field, and come back in it
- Press escape key
- The display of string field suech as ENS1E is corrupted

Here is a video of the issue:

The app is connected to an oracle database.

Here is the source code of the application:

Code: Select all

     OraSession1.Open ;
  end;
  if OraSession1.Connected then
     showmessage('Connection is Ok.')
  else
     showmessage('Connection KO !!!');

end;

procedure TForm2.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
   OraQuery1.Open;
end;

  end
end

I know that the OraDataSource1StateChange is strangely coded, but this should not generate such behaviour.
It is not easy to modify the source code of this method.

Please help !

Hello,

Please provide the script of creating the table used in your sample.

Hello AlexP,

Here it is:

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE "TestApp"
  (
    "ORTR"      NUMBER(9,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
    "OT"        NUMBER(9,0),
    "LIBQTE"    VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
    "LIBQTER"   VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
    "ENS1E"     VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
    "ENS1D"     VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
    "REFCDE"    VARCHAR2(32 BYTE),
    "CDECLT"    VARCHAR2(32 BYTE),
    "REFOT"     VARCHAR2(32 BYTE),
    "RECEP"     VARCHAR2(32 BYTE),
    "NOM_PORD"  VARCHAR2(35 BYTE),
    "TOTALQTE"  VARCHAR2(255 BYTE),
    "TOTALQTER" VARCHAR2(255 BYTE)
  )
  
Insert into "TestApp" (ORTR,OT,LIBQTE,LIBQTER,ENS1E,ENS1D,REFCDE,CDECLT,REFOT,RECEP,NOM_PORD,TOTALQTE,TOTALQTER) values (72186,71624,'7 T','15 T','ACHILLE TRANSPORTS','AEF FRET',' ',' ',' ',' ','OMP','7 T','15 T');
Insert into "TestApp" (ORTR,OT,LIBQTE,LIBQTER,ENS1E,ENS1D,REFCDE,CDECLT,REFOT,RECEP,NOM_PORD,TOTALQTE,TOTALQTER) values (72288,71726,'1 T',' ','ACHILLE TRANSPORTS','AEF FRET',' ',' ',' ',' ','OMP','1 T',' ');
Insert into "TestApp" (ORTR,OT,LIBQTE,LIBQTER,ENS1E,ENS1D,REFCDE,CDECLT,REFOT,RECEP,NOM_PORD,TOTALQTE,TOTALQTER) values (72292,71730,'10 M3',' ','SL - CLIENT TEST 1','CASO',' ',' ',' ',' ','OMP','10 M3',' ');
Insert into "TestApp" (ORTR,OT,LIBQTE,LIBQTER,ENS1E,ENS1D,REFCDE,CDECLT,REFOT,RECEP,NOM_PORD,TOTALQTE,TOTALQTER) values (72291,71729,'2 T','2 T','ACHILLE TRANSPORTS','AEF FRET',' ',' ',' ',' ','OMP','2 T','2 T');
Insert into "TestApp" (ORTR,OT,LIBQTE,LIBQTER,ENS1E,ENS1D,REFCDE,CDECLT,REFOT,RECEP,NOM_PORD,TOTALQTE,TOTALQTER) values (72287,71725,'1 T','1 T','ACHILLE TRANSPORTS','AEF FRET',' ',' ',' ',' ','OMP','1 T','1 T');
Insert into "TestApp" (ORTR,OT,LIBQTE,LIBQTER,ENS1E,ENS1D,REFCDE,CDECLT,REFOT,RECEP,NOM_PORD,TOTALQTE,TOTALQTER) values (72289,71727,'1 T',' ','ACHILLE TRANSPORTS','AEF FRET',' ',' ',' ',' ','OMP','1 T',' ');
Insert into "TestApp" (ORTR,OT,LIBQTE,LIBQTER,ENS1E,ENS1D,REFCDE,CDECLT,REFOT,RECEP,NOM_PORD,TOTALQTE,TOTALQTER) values (72282,71720,' ',' ','GHJHTRJ','SEZFGEH',' ',' ',' ',' ','OMP',' ',' ');
Insert into "TestApp" (ORTR,OT,LIBQTE,LIBQTER,ENS1E,ENS1D,REFCDE,CDECLT,REFOT,RECEP,NOM_PORD,TOTALQTE,TOTALQTER) values (72293,71731,' ',' ',' ','CASO',' ',' ',' ',' ','OMP',' ',' ');

Just add a "select * from TestApp" in the query to retrieve the data.

Thank you for the information, we have reproduced the problem and will investigate the reasons for such behavior.

Posted: **Sun 04 Jan 2015 14:24**

We haven't yet found a reason for such behavior. We are still investigating the problem. Please specify the need to use such an approach for data posting on calling the Cancel method. For the time being, as a workaround, you can use the BeforeCancel event for saving data to the database.

Hello AlexP,

Sorry for my late answering.

Currently, there are many interaction in the form, between grid and frame.
We are looking to move some code from the StateChange to the BeforeScroll event.
But it is hard job, we have the behaviour in many screen and the application is old and complex.

That is why we need to have an improve behaviour of the datasource component.

Unfortunately, we haven't yet found the reason for such behavior. As soon as we obtain any information, we will inform you.
