Re: 32-bit Forms

Hi,

Answer to your 1st question:
You can use INI-Files under 32bit-windows too. Instead of using the KRNL386.EXE-Functions you have to use the KERNEL32-Functions like the following:

OLD
lh ORA_FFI.LIBHANDLETYPE := ORA_FFI.Register_Library('','KRNL386.EXE'); f1 ORA_FFI.FUNCHANDLETYPE :=
ORA_FFI.Register_Function(lh,'GetPrivateProfileString',ORA_FFI.PASCAL_STD); f2 ORA_FFI.FUNCHANDLETYPE :=
ORA_FFI.Register_Function(lh,'WritePrivateProfileString',ORA_FFI.PASCAL_STD) ;

NEW
lh ORA_FFI.LIBHANDLETYPE := ORA_FFI.Register_Library('','kernel32'); f1 ORA_FFI.FUNCHANDLETYPE :=
ORA_FFI.Register_Function(lh,'GetPrivateProfileStringA',ORA_FFI.PASCAL_STD);

f2 ORA_FFI.FUNCHANDLETYPE :=
ORA_FFI.Register_Function(lh,'WritePrivateProfileStringA',ORA_FFI.PASCAL_STD );

good look
