    Default Delphi learning thread

    Ok, me and my friend Phonokin are learning Delphi.

    This thread is for people to post thier programs, get help, rate programs, share knowledge etc. If anyone wants to start learning too then just make a post with your programs in it. If you know Delphi then you can share your knowledge, rate programs, help people and stuff.

    If anyone feels like teaching me the basics and helping me with understanding the basics please add my msn.

    I'm just getting started, as well I'm yet to make my first Delphi application.

    From what I've seen of it, though experimenting, is that it's basically just like any other form editor.

    If you've used any other form editors, such as VB6, and you know the basics of SCAR/Pascal scripting- Which I'm sure you all do- this should soon become second nature to you.

    As far as a command list; Alt + Space. Just like in SCAR

    Edit:

    @ Meanage

    "How to make it do something"? That's the same problem I ran into with VB6

    All you have to do is double click on the form component, while it's up on your form.

    Open up Delphi.
    Start of with just a normal... Button?
    Make it whatever size you want. Doesn't matter.
    Double click on it.

    The window that was somewhat hidden by the form, is now completely visible and awaiting your commands.

    Yeah I can do that, hence the fact that Ive made that Hello thing but I just dont understand how to make it do stuff, Ill have a look at alt + space thing and see if I understand it more.

    Edit: alt space brings up the close, restore minimize etc menu in the corner lol?

    Ah, I guess that would make sense, now wouldn't it

    It brings up what now? Here's what it brings up for me:

    Thanks mate

    I'll take a look at it tomorrow. I gotta go to bed now.

    Edited:

    I seem to be confused about something. Kind of embarrassing, but...

    How do I export my project as an exe?

    Probably a bit of a nub for asking, but please answer

    Don't worry, it took me days to figure that out . You have to save the project, and then press the run button (there's another way, but that's the easiest). It will then create the exe file in the folder you saved the project.

    Yaaay the Josh is starting tomorrow shall be fun. spky has already given me some tut's what are u guys using? Also I'm using that delphi 7.2 thingy. I'm not even sure if I have the proper thing lol it was like a kinda modded edition or something I couldn't find the actual proper delphi 7......anyone got a link?
    and Why did bullezeyes source code for notepad install open in Visual studio? Was that because I opened the wrong thing? or does that mean I don't have delphi?
    EDIT: I just read Freddy's thread and realised I have SE even tho I don't actually know where it is lol I guess I'll have to do a search. Although I think I might download Jason's upload thx
    EDIT: Oh it was 7.2 which i already had =,= lol oh well thx anyway :P now I'll remember to look before I click ok
