RSS Pro: Useful Hints, Tips and Information.

This will be post entries for general use.
A good place to keep track of things as I continue to learn stuff.

Lets start with "How to find commands"
When you start RSS Pro.
And go to the code tab.
Just press the Ctrl and Shift keys to bring up the commands.

Also, when you add an object to the form.
Or you need info on the form itself.
If you just enter in . after the object.
It will also bring up the commands for that object.

Here is the youtube video on it.

And the better quality video for it.

Ok, in this second part.
I will be going over adding pictures to your Form.
There are two ways to add pictures to the form.

1. TImage
2. .bmp images.

Here is a video I did on it.
RSS Pro: Useful Hints, Tips and Information. Video 2.

Just a reminder, these hints and tips can be used for all versions of RSS Pro.

Now, with .bmp images.
If you have small .bmp images.
They will tile on you form window.

You can also find out more, by typing into google.
Delphi adding images
Or Delphi bitmap

Or when you are in RSS Pro.
Start with Brush. the . will bring up commands.

Brush.Bitmap.

Brush.Bitmap.Canvas.

Brush.Bitmap.Canvas.Draw

Now to look at Forms.
This is where you can put things on.
Resize the window.
Change color and fonts.

There is a lot that you can do with a form.

Another quick way to learn.
Is to download other peoples work.
And read through them.
Find out how they did things.

Here is a collection of RSS Pro scripts.

[ThomasGrant]

Since RSS Pro is a Delphi emulator.
It is always a good idea when your stuck.
To look up what the code is in Delphi.

For instance.
OpenDialog

So you type into google.
Delphi OpenDialog

Click on some of the links that appear.
And you may come across this one.

link:://:.delphibasics.co.uk/RTL.asp?Name=TOpenDialog

Note: Not all commands will work in RSS Pro.

But by placing a '.' after OpenDialog
OpenDialog.
Then the variables and properties help window will pop up.
And you can see what you can add to OpenDialog.

This technique will work for most of the objects in RSS Pro.
If you get stuck.
Just ask Google.
Or ask Silver.(Rss coder at MMM)
Or ask me.
