Thanks for downloading the Live Template Generator Pack. The Live Template Generator Pack is a collection of classes and projects that assist in easily creating Live Templates for Borland Developer Studio.
INSTALLING:
To install, simply unzip the files to a directory of your choosing.
Open the TemplateGeneratorExpert.bdsproj in BDS, and then compile and install the package.
Once that is done, you'll have a new entry on the Tools menu called "Template Generator Form" that will bring up the Template Generator Expert.
USING THE TEMPLATE GENERATOR
Once the expert is started, it's pretty self-explanatory and easy to figure out. Nothing fancy here. It's designed, really, for one word replacements. It started as a project to help VB6 developers develop a set of templates for translating from VB to Delphi (for instance, for turning MsgBox into MessageDlg, etc.)
Also included is a command line application, TemplateGenerator.exe, that takes a text file of name=value pairs and creates templates based on those entries. If you have a collection of items that need translating, then you can easily create a large collection of templates. I use it to create templates to fix my common typos, such as changing 'stirng' to 'string'.
In addition, I included the DUnit test coding for TTemplateGenerator class.
DOCUMENTATION
I've included the documentation generated by Together for Delphi. It's pretty sparse at the present time. I've found the Docuemtation feature of Together for Delhpi to be a bit unreliable and hard to deal with, but I'll keep at it. The potential is there, for sure. I'm hoping things will improve.
THE CODE
At the heart of the project is uTemplateGenerator, a class that creates the template, taking the various pieces of information and processing it into an XML file. By default, the file is then placed in the logged in user's code_templates directory. For instance, mine is
C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\Local Settings\Application Data\Borland\BDS\4.0\code_templates
However, you can put the files anywhere you like by setting the OutputDirectory property. You need only set the StringToReplace and ReplaceWithString
CREDITS:
