1) Prepare cursor - here it is animated cursor in file "cursor_busy.ani".

2) Create file with .rc extension, write path to cursor to it.

CUR_ANIM 21 "c:\delphi\projects\project_name\cursors\cursor_busy.ani"

3) Add link to .rc file to project:

{$R 'myResources.res' 'myResources.rc'}

4) Define internal number for own cursor:

const
  crCursor_Busy = 115;

5) Load defined cursor to app:

const
  Screen.Cursors[ crCursor_Busy ] := LoadCursor( hInstance, 'CUR_ANIM' );

6) Now, when you use this code:

Screen.Cursor := crCursor_Busy;

..you will see this loaded (animated) cursor:

DELPHI - How to split string with TStringList class support

For string split you can use class TStringList.

var
  i : integer;
  sResult : string;
  pSplit : TStringList;
begin
  pSplit := TStringList.Create;
  try
    { define delimiter }
    pSplit.Delimiter := ';';

    { - split it }

    pSplit.Clear;
    pSplit.DelimitedText := 'This;is;a;list';

    { - list it }

    sResult := '';
    for i := 0 to pSplit.Count - 1  do
      begin
        sResult := sResult + pSplit[i] + #13;
      end;

    ShowMessage( sResult );

  finally
    pSplit.Free;
  end;

DELPHI - How to make rotation of shape around point

Suppose this easy class for shape - triangle:

TShape = class( TObject )
  p1 : TPoint;
  p2 : TPoint;
  p3 : TPoint;

  procedure Moving( _iDeltaX, _iDeltaY : integer );
  procedure Rotation( _iAngle : integer );
  procedure RotationAroundXY( _x, _y : integer; _iAngle : integer );
end;

And initialization:

pShape := TShape.Create;
pShape.p1.X := 300;  pShape.p1.Y := 250;
pShape.p2.X := 250;  pShape.p2.Y := 280;
pShape.p3.X := 350;  pShape.p3.Y := 330;

For rotation shape around point use this code:

procedure TShape.RotationAroundXY( _x, _y : integer; _iAngle : integer );
var
  iNewX, iNewY : integer;
  dCos, dSin : double;
  dRadian : double;
  p1x, p1y, p2x, p2y, p3x, p3y : integer;
begin
  { -- angle }

  dRadian := ( 2 * pi ) / ( 360 / _iAngle );
                     
  dCos := cos( dRadian );
  dSin := sin( dRadian );

  { -- point for rotation around (in other case the rotation is around start of coords) }

  p1x := p1.x - _x;
  p1y := p1.y - _y;
  p2x := p2.x - _x;
  p2y := p2.y - _y;
  p3x := p3.x - _x;
  p3y := p3.y - _y;

  { -- calculation of the positions }

  iNewX := round( ( p1x * dCos ) - ( p1y * dSin ) );
  iNewY := round( ( p1y * dCos ) + ( p1x * dSin ) );
  p1.X := iNewX + _x;
  p1.Y := iNewY + _y;

  iNewX := round( ( p2x * dCos ) - ( p2y * dSin ) );
  iNewY := round( ( p2y * dCos ) + ( p2x * dSin ) );
  p2.X := iNewX + _x;
  p2.Y := iNewY + _y;

  iNewX := round( ( p3x * dCos ) - ( p3y * dSin ) );
  iNewY := round( ( p3y * dCos ) + ( p3x * dSin ) );
  p3.X := iNewX + _x;
  p3.Y := iNewY + _y;
end;

JAVA, JAVAFX - listener and lambda expression

Since JDK 1.8 you can use lambda expression. This article compares old and new variants on one example with CheckBox listener.

Old variant (response for change in CheckBox):

@FXML CheckBox checkbox1;
@FXML Label label1;

@Override
public void initialize( URL url, ResourceBundle rb ) {               

  /* variant without lambda expression */
    
  checkbox1.selectedProperty().addListener( new ChangeListener< boolean >() {
    @Override
    public void changed( ObservableValue observable, Boolean oldValue, Boolean newValue ) {
      label1.setText( newValue.toString() );
    }
  } );        
        
  /* -- init */
    
  checkbox1.selectedProperty().set( true );    
}  

And new (optional - old variant is still working) with lambda expression:

@FXML CheckBox checkbox1;
@FXML Label label1;
  
@Override
public void initialize( URL url, ResourceBundle rb ) {               
   
  /* variant with lambda expression */
    
  checkbox1.selectedProperty().addListener(
    ( ObservableValue observable, Boolean oldValue, Boolean newValue ) -> {
      label1.setText( newValue.toString() );
      }
    );    
    
  /* -- init */
    
  checkbox1.selectedProperty().set( true );    
}  

Both variant have same result:

DELPHI - How to show normal distribution curve (Gaussian)

Typical propability density function (Gaussian distribution).

var
  i : integer;
  iY : double;
  pDN : TDistribution_Normal;
  pSerie : TLineSeries;
begin
  Memo1.Clear;

  /* prepare chart */

  pSerie := TLineSeries( Chart1.Series[0] );
  pSerie.Clear;

  /* prepare distribution data */

  pDN := TDistribution_Normal.Create;
  pDN.Init( 0, 1 );

  for i := 0 to pDN.pIntegral.pY.Count - 1 do
    begin
      { -- get value }

      iY := pDN.pIntegral.pY.GetValue( i );

      pSerie.AddXY( i, iY );
    end;

And here is very important TDistribution_Normal.Init() function with parameters as MEAN and SIGMA, here is generated range MEAN +-3.5 SIGMA.
The sum values under curve is equeal to 1.

function TDistribution_Normal.Init( _iMean, _iSigma : double ) : boolean;
var
  i : integer;
  iFrom, iTo, iValue : double;
begin
  result := false;

  { -- check }

  if _iSigma <= 0 then
    begin
      ShowMessage( 'Distribution_Normal() - standard deviation can`t be 0.' );
      exit;
    end;

  { -- add range -3.5 sigma - Mean - + 3.5 sigma }

  pIntegral.Clear;

  iFrom := _iMean - ( 3.5 * _iSigma );
  iTo := _iMean + ( 3.5 * _iSigma );
  { aproximation - 300 items }
  pIntegral.iStep := ( iTo - iFrom ) / 300;
  pIntegral.SetInterval( iFrom, iTo );

  { -- calc values normal distribution for every X }

  for i := 0 to pIntegral.pX.Count - 1 do
    begin
      iValue := ( 1 / ( _iSigma * sqrt( 2*pi ) ) ) * 
                exp( - ( sqr( pIntegral.pX.GetValue( i ) - _iMean ) ) / 
                ( 2 * sqr( _iSigma ) ) );

      pIntegral.pY.AddValue( iValue );
    end;

  pIntegral.Calc;

  result := true;
end;

SQL SERVER - INSERT trigger

Sometimes you need to perform some actions immediately after you insert row to table. For this purpose you can use insert trigger on the table.
Pseudo-table named "inserted" contains inserted data row - you probably utilize it here.

ALTER trigger [dbo].[sql_insert]
on [dbo].[sql]
for insert
as
  begin transaction;
  
  begin try

    /* -- add new initial role */

    insert into [role_object]
    ( ident, [description], [role_object_type_ident] )
    select inserted.id, null, 'Q' from inserted;  
  
    /* -- add log row about creation to log table */
  
    insert into sql_detail_changes
    ( sql_id, [description], [type] )
    select inserted.id, 'Creation', 'I' from inserted;  
    
    if @@TRANCOUNT > 0 commit transaction;      
  end 

  /* -- problem ? */

  try begin catch
    if @@TRANCOUNT > 0 rollback transaction;

JAVA - How to split string to parts (java.util.StringTokenizer)

Another variant for string split - class java.util.StringTokenizer:

StringTokenizer pSpaceDelim = new StringTokenizer( "This is a text." );
           
System.out.println( "Count = " + pSpaceDelim.countTokens() + System.lineSeparator() );
    
while ( pSpaceDelim.hasMoreTokens() )
  System.out.println( pSpaceDelim.nextToken() );

Output:

Count = 4

This
is
a
text.

NOTE: System.lineSeparator() is system dependent line separator.

SQL SERVER - How use COLLATE over special chars

Sometimes (dependent how is your DB created) you need specify character set for some command that used special text chars. Here, for example in WHERE section.
Without COLLATE..

select count( * ) as rows
from salesline a
where
a.itemid = 'PŘEPRAVNÉ' and
a.confirmeddlv >= '2018/02/01' and
a.confirmeddlv <= '2018/02/07'

Output:

rows
-----------
0

(1 row(s) affected)

..you get empty result set.

But with COLLATE..

select count( * ) as rows
from salesline a
where
a.itemid collate latin1_general_ci_ai = 'PŘEPRAVNÉ' and
a.confirmeddlv >= '2018/02/01' and
a.confirmeddlv <= '2018/02/07'

Output:

rows
-----------
4

(1 row(s) affected)

..it is something else.

NOTE: Collate DB parameter you can get from DB properties.
