TLOBLocator: LoadFromStream request

[Roeland]

Hi,

Could you add a LoadFromStream procedure to the TLobLocator?

Or do you know another method to pass a stream in the TLOBLocator?

The TLOBLocator class descends from the TStream class, so you can use the standard CopyFrom procedure as defined by TStream.

 

[Roeland]

Thanks,

That worked indeed.

But could you add the LoadFromStream procedure nonetheless? That will make our lives easier and it's no pain at your site.

Thanks again,

Roeland

 

[Marco Kalter]

I'm not quite sure what that would add. Can you explain?

 

[Roeland]

That would add a no-brainer. That's because I'm used to work with LoadFromFile, LoadFromStream, SaveToStream and SaveToFile from a lot of components. (Not only Stream descendants!)

Now i have to think "Oh yes, it's a TLobLocator, i need to use CopyFrom". I don't find it user friendly, especially with so less effort at your site. (So do I suppose)

I could inherit it myself, but i don't like it in this case.

 

[Marco Kalter]

Well, it's a Stream, not a Component . But it's easy to implement, and I have added it to the list of enhancement requests.

 

[Roeland]

Any chance that this will ever be implemented?

Roeland

 

[Marco Kalter]

This is still on the list of enhancement requests.

One more request from my side I run also in this "brain problem" if I use lobs.

Any chance that this "small step for you, but a very long awaited feature for me" is going to be implemented?
