Posted: Fri Jan 05, 2007 2:36 pm Post subject: Bold for Delphi design |
|
|
Hi,
I don't know anything about Bold for Delphi (or whatever the name is
now). I'm just curious to know what Bold is based on. Is it based on
MVP, MVC or on it's own design?
From the little bit I have read so far, Bold seem to be a OPF, VTF and
Presentation Framework (MVC, MVP, MGM) all in one.
And no, I am not considering using Bold (I need cross platform apps
without .NET), I'm just interested in it's design. :-)
Regards,
- Graeme - |

Hi! I use Bold for Delphi daily in my work. Bold is a system that aloud you to make a UML-model with classes and their relationsships.
Generate SQL-script that create or change the actual database. Each class have properties and methods. Bold can generate Delphi method prototypes to easy access to the modelled classes. The purpose is to objectify data in the database for easy access. There is also a lot of components to access and display data in Delphi.

Bold (D7 Architect) is an OPF framework that ECO (Delphi.net) is based
on. Instead a design pattern, it uses its own components for
presentation purposes, just like old versions of tiOPF did.

Ah, that's a pitty. I think it would have been even more flexible if
they followed the MVC, MVP or MGM pattern instead of creating another
bunch of components (as if the Component Palette doesn't have enough
already <smile>).
Thanks for the info Joao.

Thanks Roland,
Does Bold always use the Attibute Types (TBoldAttribute descendant) for
properties, or can you use simple types (String, Integer, TDateTime,
etc) as well?

Hi Graeme,
Found this yesterday. http://www.lhotka.net/cslanet/
You might be intrested in it. Take a look and see for yoursef. As far as I
can see now it is an extensive framework free to use. Not in delphi but
maybe to study.

No idea Basically you inherit from an existing control and add a
TBoldProperties property to it, a couple of lines later you have a TBoldEdit
for example. There are lots of existing controls.

I found out that it doesn't use any of those presentation frameworks.
They created yet more controls (Bold specific ones are descendants of
standard controls) on the control palette. :-(

Linux and Windows native apps mainly, but starting to look at WinCE as
well. Currently using the Free Pascal compiler.
