Delphi Questions... - Maybe you can help me...

adriantc
I'm going to start working on a new project that I have been thinking about. I have a programming contest in my highschool in february next year (I have won this year's edition) and I hope this new project will be my masterpierce. That is why I want to start working early.
Well it is going to be an encoding software (for text.. txt, doc, only... nothing too fancy). I have a lot of functions in my mind that I would like to see implemented into the software. That's why I need some help from somebody who knows more then I do. There are three things I need help with. First of all you should know I use Delphi 2006...
1. The first problem is related to printing a document. Lets say have a delphi.txt file and I want to print it. How can it be done? If you can and you have patience please explain step by step.
2. Second problem.... I was thinking about making a webupdate module. Do you have any ideas on how I can do that, on how I can make it download a file update.exe and run it! I'm open to any other suggestions.
3. Is there any way I can run another software from my program (for example I want to run C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe)? If I can how do I do it? Also is there any way to access the internet right from my project form (for example the user clicks a button and some information loads right in the software... no browser open or anything... for example a check version module... click a button, the software will use the internet to determine if you have the latest versions and it will give you a messege).

Well thanks for your help in advance!

Hello Adriantc,

In response to question 2, a webupdate component, I can help you on this one. I was looking for a similar thing, and ound on this website, maxcomponents.net.

Here is a link to get a Webupdate component for your application. I use it myself in many of my applications, and it's very reliable.
It's know as mxWebUpdate.

Although it states that it isn't compatible with Delphi 2006, I tried it out to experiment and it worked, easy as pie, plain and simply.

A few features are:

It adds automatic update support to your application.
It retrieves information from the web, if a newer version available, it can download a file via HTTP and run
the update.
Full source code available
Supports Delphi 5, 6, 7 and 2005 (and 2006)

I hope this is of use to you. I certainly have found it helpful in the past.

  12. Delphi - (6)
    Delphi is a great langguage , does anyone else Agree? I love the fact that the IDE is so fast - and
    it compiles really fast too. Also it makes hadling the windows API really easy by putting wrappers
    round most api functions that make it easy to access. The compiler is very fast. I don't like
    Delphi 8 though - its biased twoards NET programming - and I don't like microsoft stuff too
    much. I suggest going for Delphi 9 when you can - and after its been released an update since the
    current verison is a bit suspect. An update is due soon...
