When I call TMyConnection.Connect (or set TMyConnection.Connected := True) a permission denied for the server is generated as if the connection is being attempted with an invalid password. Why doesn't TMyConnection prompt for username and password before attempting to connect (as it does in the IDE when you change Connected to True in the Object Inspector)?

As an aside, I tried searching the forums for TMyConnection AND LoginPrompt. Of the 19 results returned not one of them contained either of those words. Isn't that strange?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Some questions about the visual part of MyDAC

The following situations usually arise from the same problem:


·I set the Debug property to True but nothing happens!
·While executing a query, the screen cursor does not change to an hour-glass.
·Even if I have LoginPromp set to True, the connect dialog does not appear.

To fix this, you should add the MyDacVcl (for Windows) or MyDacClx (for Linux) unit to the uses clause of your project.

The only defense I can offer is that I did look at the FAQ here, but didn't make the connection with "Visual" and what I was trying to do. I also tried searching the forums with no success.
