Custom ConnectDlg with C++Builder

pterblan · Post by **pterblan** » Thu 22 Jul 2010 15:46

Does anyone have an example of using one's own connect dialog in Builder? I need to use a themed one but can't figure it out from the Delphi example.
Thanks
Piet

You can see an example of using own connect dialog in Delphi MyDAC Demo.
Also you can see below the example of the CustomConnectForm unit on C++. The CustomConnectForm.dfm file is the same as in the Delphi demo.

Code: Select all

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include 
#pragma hdrstop
#include "CustomConnectForm.h"
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma package(smart_init)
#pragma resource "*.dfm"
TfmCustomConnect *fmCustomConnect;
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
__fastcall TfmCustomConnect::TfmCustomConnect(TComponent* Owner)
	: TForm(Owner)
{
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TfmCustomConnect::DoInit()
{
  FRetry = False;
  FRetries = FConnectDialog->Retries;
  Caption = FConnectDialog->Caption;

  lbUsername->Caption = FConnectDialog->UsernameLabel;
  lbPassword->Caption = FConnectDialog->PasswordLabel;
  lbServer->Caption = FConnectDialog->ServerLabel;
  btConnect->Caption = FConnectDialog->ConnectButton;
  btCancel->Caption = FConnectDialog->CancelButton;

  TStringList* List = new TStringList();
  try {
	FConnectDialog->GetServerList(List);
	AssignStrings(List, edServer->Items);
  }
  __finally {
	List->Free();
  }

  edUsername->Text = FConnectDialog->Connection->Username;
  edPassword->Text = FConnectDialog->Connection->Password;
  edServer->Text = FConnectDialog->Connection->Server;

  if (edUsername->Text != "" && edPassword->Text == "")
	ActiveControl = edPassword;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TfmCustomConnect::DoConnect()
{
  FConnectDialog->Connection->Password = edPassword->Text;
  FConnectDialog->Connection->Server = edServer->Text;
  FConnectDialog->Connection->Username = edUsername->Text;
  TMyConnection* MyConnection = (TMyConnection*)FConnectDialog->Connection;
  MyConnection->Port = StrToInt(edPort->Text);
  FConnectDialog->Connection->Database = edDatabase->Text;
  try {
	FConnectDialog->Connection->PerformConnect(FRetry);
	ModalResult = mrOk;
  }
  catch (EMyError &exception) {
	FRetries--;
	FRetry = true;
	if (FRetries == 0)
	  ModalResult = mrCancel;
	if (exception.ErrorCode == CR_CONN_HOST_ERROR)
	  ActiveControl = edServer;
	else
	  if (exception.ErrorCode == ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR)
		if (ActiveControl != edUsername)
		  ActiveControl = edPassword;
	throw;
  }
  catch (Exception &exception) {
	throw;
  }
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TfmCustomConnect::SetConnectDialog(TMyConnectDialog* Value)
{
  FConnectDialog = Value;
  DoInit();
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TfmCustomConnect::btConnectClick(TObject *Sender)
{
  DoConnect();
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
