Devrace has published XMLInspector, a new product for Borland Delphi and C++ Builder. XMLInspector helps developers to quickly and lightly create stable applications with human-engineered and understandable interface. The developers may concentrate on complex object modelling as XSD schemes whereas XMLInspector automatically enables them to edit the objects in a hierarchic property inspector. Main XMLInspector features and advantages: * Automatic generation of dialog forms. XMLInspector automatically creates dialogs and object editing forms based on XSD schemes, and enables developers to edit object properties. * TDataSet support. XMLInspector generates XSD schemes for records of any TDataSet descendants, thus helping to quickly create database record editing dialogs. * Robust applications. Using XML to create dialogs developers may easily change objects (add new attributes, make attributes compound and able to change their type depending on conditions, etc) without changing the program code and recompiling the application. * Handy data import and export. The XML format simplifies data exchange between your applications. Pricing and availability: The XMLInspector library is immediately available for purchase. For more details please check http://www.devrace.com/en/shop/. You may download XMLInspector from http://www.xmlinspector.com/ -- Sincerely yours, Serg __________________________________ e-mail: [email]sv (AT) devrace (DOT) com[/email] url : http://www.devrace.com/, http://www.fibplus.com/ Back to top Peter Sleuth Guest Posted: Fri May 13, 2005 9:42 pm    Post subject: Re: Devrace publishes XMLInspector - generator of dialog for Serg, I tried to take a look at XMLInspector by downloading and installing the trial but failed because: a) there is no precompiled demo application (in binary form) in your zip-archive b) I can?t compile your demo app because it references some components that are not part of your zip-archive. It would be nice if you could add a precompiled demo to your zip and add the sources of a demo-app that doesn?t require any other thirdparty-components.

I look forward to the new demos you propose to post. May I also suggest that in you help you add a simple code example of the use of each th eproperties/methodes. In some cases the example will duplicate over several properties/methods. It just makes it so much easier to understand the implementation and context of the property/method.

Quote: * Handy data import and export. The XML format simplifies data exchange between your applications. 1. As far as advanced TDataSet data editing is concerned, does the component create in-memory master/detail datasets to support this: http://www.devrace.com/img/xml/xmlins_adv_record_big.gif ? 2. Is it limited to GUI or can those datasets be used programmatically to write data exchange add-ons ?

This example does not use master-details links, it demonstrate how to group fields of a record just to make interface more user-friendly. However, it is possible to use master-detail links in XMLInspector. it requires some coding.

We included database backup file FIBEX.GBK in the example, because GDB depends on IB/FB version and you can not use it with all InterBase/Firebird versions. GBK is version independent. Quote: If you want to send me the package before the next public release I'll check the dependencies on a clean box. We decided to exclude this example because it is too complicated to start this sample for developers who do not work with InterBase.

A few questions though: 1. Are enumerations supported (dropdown lists)? 2. Can the elipsis button on "Group Fields" be turned off? 3. It appears that adding childnodes in the XMLInspector is not supported. Is that right? 4. Can values be made read only in the inspector or not visible (like GUIDs or internal values)?

However, it is possible to use master-detail links in XMLInspector. it requires some coding. For a future version, do you plan to allow the developer to open a complex XML document, generate the XSD, and generate in-memory master-detail datasets so the XML document can be made readily available for navigation and update through db-aware components, and be used to populate a database by navigating the datasets. This would be really good.
