ABSTRACT:

Description

DXAddMmb is a Delphi application that illustrates the use of Delphi with NetWare ActiveX controls.

It will specifically use the Directory Query control to view and change users' group memberships.

Usage:

Step 1: Select the tree The browser window will be displayed

Step 2: Select a user and a group. The group memberships of the selected item will be displayed

The last respective user / group selected will be remembered and displayed in the edit boxes on the bottom right panel

Step 3: Press the "Add" or "Del" button to add the selected user to the selected group, or to cancel that membership.

The sample shows how to modify group memberships and multi-valued properties. Before a value is saved, the old values are read, and the new item is added to (or removed from) that array. Then the modified array is saved.

This sample is based on the NW Session control v1.2 NW Directory control v2.2 NW Browser control v1.0

Prerequisites (run-time): NetWare Client 32 Installation of the NetWare ActiveX controls

You can download Novell's latest ActiveX controls from the DeveloperNet web pages at http://developer.novell.com

Platform: Win9x / WinNT / Win2000

Compilers: Borland Delphi 4.x/5.x

Though it was not written for Delphi v1.x (16bit), it could be converted with only minor modifications.

Conversion between 32bit Delphi versions (2.x/3.x/4.x/5.x) should be possible without any (or only minimal) code changes.
