Experience Creating application using CodeGear 2007 in Vista
26th April 2008
Few days back, i got assignment from my boss to convert delphi application so can be run on vista, These application using TGif component to show some gif picture draw on the paint box. problem that i encounter when using vista is that now the windows have features to protect user from malicious software called User Access Control especially when the picture was put on one of mapped network drive.
the syntax of FileExists cannot find the respected file on that mapped network drive even the file was there, at first i try to find the caused why the FileExist cannot find the file even the file was laying there perfectly.it took a lot off pulling hair and scratch in the head that finally i found out that there was something fishy with UAC and the FIleExists incident, by disabling the UAC then the application work prefectly.by Now i wonder why microsoft making such features with out a proper documentation that we developer can read and understand…
