Delphi: Pascal: Tutorial (Design) For those wishing to learn to code.

Delphi: Pascal: Tutorial (Design)

To my very first Student.

A3on

Ok, where to start?

If you have done any searches for Delphi Tutorials.
Or anything regarding Delphi.
There is a huge info base out there.
You can find answer to almost anything.
I just google the question.

If you have seen any of the tutorials.
Many have the basic "Hello World"
What a waste of time.

My aim is to make something a bit more practical.
Something you can use.

In this tutorial.
We will be making a BRAND New bot.
All manual input.
Remove much of the stuff I have in the other bot I am creating.
Most of it wont work anyway.

So, we will first make a design for the bot.
And that will be in my next post.

Hope you guys have a blast doing this !

Awesome idea Thomas

Be nice to have you along.
But perhaps coding is not your thing.

[ThomasGrant]

First, lets get organised.

Make a new folder on your desktop.
And call it "Delphi_7_Bot" or "My_First_Delphi_7_Bot"
In this folder we will store all our info and files.
We can make some extra folders within the folder itself.
For instance. You may want to add in a folder for numbers.
But more on that later.

Next, get familiar with Delphi 7.
Just move your mouse over the objects.
Try putting a button on a form.
And run the program.
Don't worry.
You wont break anything.

You can learn a great deal on design from my Tutorial series on RSS Pro.

In fact, we will be using much of those tutorials to build this new bot.
As all the design and code will work in Delphi 7.

Here is a picture of Delphi 7.

Ahhhhhhh Im sorry Thomas but I wudnt want to mess you around

In a perfect world i might try this

That's ok...
Thanks for the heads up.
How about semi serious? LOL...
Just would like a few more students.
As we build this bot from scratch.

True. Before your offer to teach Delphi I made a tutorial at Visual Basic, and it was "Hello World"
And yes, what a waste of time --'

We will be making a BRAND New bot.

Thanks for trying to focus your tutorial in useful stuff

I see very similarities between Delphi, VB and RSS (at least in the interface)

Is it better to download RSS and make your tutorials, or it can be made with Delphi, as they are very similar?

Best regards,
Afonso

Well, not sure if you noticed.
This is a Delphi Tutorial.

If you have RSS Pro.
Then you can follow along any of the extensive tutorials that I have posted.

[Fripper]

Well sorry to hear to you didn't find a good tutorial to follow in Visual Basic. I think Victor posted this in another tread and this is the only one I use so far, it's very good and easy to understand.

I know this is a delphi tutorial, I was talking about this: "You can learn a great deal on design from my Tutorial series on RSS Pro.
link:://rouletteforum.cc/tom%27s-place/rss-pro-tutorial/"

Do you think I should do all that tutorials before we proceed with Delphi?
Or there is no vantage in that?

Well have a read through them.
You will find them very useful.
You can even create your own form/bot whatever.
Many of the techniques and design will be used in this Delphi Dot.
From window colors. Adding in buttons.
Fields. Memos and all the other components.

Nearly all the same things can be found in Delphi.

PS: Do you have RSS Pro?

[A3on]

No I don't have it

I will try get it then ( I dunno yet if it's paid or not, but a keygen isn't hard to get )

[ThomasGrant]

NO...

I only asked if you had it. Because you mention RSS a few times.

As for Delphi.

The only reason I creating the bots in Delphi are because no one has RSS Pro.

[ThomasGrant]

Hmmmm,

I am not sure that I can teach Delphi now.

I mean I can do all the stuff so easy in RSS Pro.

But I am finding the code just is to hard to transfer over to Delphi.

I am trying to figure out things like how to add variables.
Global Variables, Arrays, multi arrays.
Procedures with arguments.

Even with Delcode.com Support

I am finding it very difficult.
