ConvOrder - OrderString/Id convertor

Hello there.

This is a small program I've made that converts orderstrings and ids.

This is my first real program I make in Delphi.

It is easy to use, and should not have any bugs.

Feedback please, and remember that I am a newb.

This program was made in Delphi, so everybody using windows should be able to run it.

Make it a OrderString <> Id convertor.

It might be a idea to learn how to use 'for', even thus your while's are very nice :) (just like loops in JASS =P)

I know my code is far from perfect. But at this early point I am happy that it works :).

Nooby :p

1 - Make it guess what you are writing. ( atuo-complete is the property )
2 - I dont have to select the text when I want it to be copied into the clipboard.
3 - Disable the maximize button.
4 - In the about make the adress of wc3c a link , I click , browser opens.
5 - You might want to add any glyphs to the buttons?
6 - Didnt I make something like this before ?

Overall very nice

Would like to add that, it seems like a good idea.
You don't have to as it selects the text automatically. Might want to change something here though.

I like some of the ideas.


I mainly made it because I wanted something that was simple and could be used for something.

The main differences between our programs are, that yours have autocompletion and ONLY converts order strings to ids.

Mine does not have autocompletion, but can convert both orderstrings to ids and ids to strings (autodetects what to do), which yours can't.


Thanks!

Updated, fixed a rare bug that could happen if the user gave it invalid input and made the email and site link on the about form work. I think I will add more later.

Updated again, fixed the problem with the text not being copied if it wasn't selected when clicking the "Copy To Clipboard" button.

The read me file is now a html and I added a help document, not only telling about the program but also about orderids and strings in general.

EDIT: Minor update again, fixes some errors in the help file and the program has also got a less ugly icon now.
