Hello,
I'm installing the trial version for Tokyo 10.2. Advantage seems to be disabled. I know there is no official support for it, but there are ways to make it work. How can I make the installer work for Advantage on Tokyo?
Hello, Raoul.
You probably downloaded the Metadata Editor for .NET. There are different editors for VCL and .NET editions. Please download the editor for VCL Edition here: https://www.activequerybuilder.com/files/metadata_editor.zip
Metadata Editor for VCL does not require any additional assemblies. You can call it by code: MetadataContainer.Edit();
Hello, Raoul.
Sorry for the incorrect answer. Use the static method
EditMetadataContainer(acQueryBuilder1.MetadataContainer);
We will update references to Advantage in the standalone MC Editor in a couple of days.
Functions must be visible in the code completion of the TacSQLTextEditor control. Is that list incomplete or don't you see them at all?
Yes that works for the editor, I see it now. I do not see my own functions in the Code Complete of the editor. How can I control the output of the Alias field names? I would like this to be the Alt names for fields and tables. Also how can I generate links? I saw there was a tool to create links from field names for DBS that do not have RI Objects, and how to create those in code.
Hello, Raoul.
I suppose you can compile the run-time package and install the design-time package after the installation. They should have names like "acQueryBuilderAdvantageDBxxx.dpk" and "acQueryBuilderDsgnAdvantageDBxxx.dpk". "xxx" is the internal number of your Delphi version.
Let me know if this doesn't help.
