| property ToplevelDir: TToplevelDir;
|
| The ToplevelDir property specifies the directory where you would like to automatically extract files on program startup.
|
| 1. If you would like to extract stored files to the Desktop - just make TopLevelDir property "tdDesktop". Leave SubDirectory string clean.
|
|
|
| 2. If you would like to extract files to current directory, create subdirectory named, let's say, "plugins" and extract files there - set ToplevelDir property as "tdCurrentDir" and assign SubDirectory property as "plugins" (SubDirectory := 'plugins'). If you would like to create this subdirectory automatically even if it's does not exists - set CreatePath property to True.
|
|
|
| 3. If you would like to extract your files to non-system folder (for example, to "h:\databases\my own database\") then you don't need to use any top level directories, just set ToplevelDir property to "tdNone" and assign to SubDirectory "h:\databases\my own database" path. If you would like to create this subdirectory automatically even if it's does not exists - set CreatePath property to True.
|
| 1. You don't need to change anything from AutoExtract subproperties at run-time because of these auto extracting features used by acFileStorage on program startup only. You may set this property at design-time only, all run-time modifications will senseless.
|
|
|
| 2. Current directory (tdCurrentDir) is the same as ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName).
