ADS in code ... without ADSDataSource

[ChrisGillard]

Hi,
I can use dbfs under ADS if I use a AdsDataSource in my project.
In certain 'hand coded' projects I want to use ADS without an ADSDataSource.
From the ADSRDD help page I am trying the following in my Form1:onInitialise event ...
rddregister( "ADS", 1 )
rddsetdefault( ADS" )
I have tried the REQUEST _ADS statement but I am uncertain where to put it,
Also am linking in the libraries ace32.dll & rddads.lib
With xHarbour Builder this is about all I would have to do and it would just work.
What am I missing please ??

Chris,
>>rddregister( "ADS", 1 )
>>rddsetdefault( ADS" )
Those are obsolete, you just nee to put a REQUEST Ads on any of your project
files.

* Removed unneeded RddRegister( "ADS", 1 ) and adjusted calls to
RddSetDefault()

Ignacio,
REQUEST ADS works fine.
Thank you for that.
I have another question about inspecting my own object in the debugger ....
I can see the object in the debugger as Local : oLogDbf <O> DbfX - see screenshot #2
I can see the object in the Inspect variable window with a + but I cant expand it - see screenshot #1
Some objects I can inspect, but not this one.
Why is that ??
If the attached images dont come through, I will send by email.
Thanks for all your help.
Great product.

Only classes which are derived from TComponent can be inspected. So, if
you've created your own class not derived from any Xailer's one, just derive
it from TComponent.
Also, DATA's can't be inspected; declare them as PROPERTY.
I.e:
CLASS TMyOwnClass FROM TComponent
PROPERTY MyData1
PROPERTY MyData2

Jose,
> Must inherit from TComponent & use PROPERTY
I will have to think about that as I have 20+ classes that are used by my Console mode xHarbour Builder apps .... maybe some #ifdef or .ch & preprocessor work can make the classes work with Xailer & Builder.
Now I know the situation I can think about it.
Thanks for the reply.
