PinoezOpenDialog (Another kind of Open Dialog)

Posted by Daniel - 1,815 Views

On some occasions, when I build an application for a specific language with orland Delphi, I also need to change all button text to suit the language used, for example the button text on the OpenDialog. Creating a brand new component is an alternative, but time is something that I don’t have. Hooking the available function by overriding the text assignment in the original OpenDialog component code, proved to be faster than creating a new one, and PinoezOpenDialog is the result.

PinoezOpenDialog is not just an open dialog, but it also contains save dialog. So far I haven’t had time to provide some design interfaces, so all adjustment have to be done in the underlying code. That will be painful if you have no experience at all in the component creation, but it will be fine I guess, it won’t break or damage your heart.

PinoezProgramRun is a Delphi component which wraps the ShellExecute API function. It exposes all of the function’s parameters, provides you an easier way to use the ShellExecute function when you need to run an external program, or a URL from your Delphi application.

Even I prefer direct coding to use the ShellExecute function, but it worth to try - not really that bad at all :).

PDUSpy (A good tool to deal with GSM SMS PDU)

Posted by Daniel - 12,259 Views

PDUSpy is a tool to playing around with the PDU string mostly found in the GSM SMS. It can read SMS message from your GSM modem or cellphone. The interface is quite technical that is why it’s not so easy to understand. You can adjust most settings available in an SMS message structure with this tool.

On the first tabsheet, you may enter a PDU to analyze by your own, or you may import a PDU from the clipboard. If you click on ‘decode’ the PDU will be decoded, and the result will be displayed on the ‘Decode’ tab sheet. You must tell PDUspy if the message is inbound or outbound, and wether you have a GSM07.05-compatible PDU or a ETS-compatible PDU.

Most dialup modems follow to a large extent the specifications of the Hayes Command Set, a specific programming language originally developed for the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 modem. The modem initialization string consists of a series of commands. It prepares the modem for communications, setting such features as dialing mode (tone or pulse), waits, detection of the busy signal and many other settings. - wikipedia.org

I need to read SMS messages from my old Siemens phone (C35i) via serial port on my PC just to see the code behind the scene of an SMS message. Well, it is a 7-bit default alphabeth. The phone support AT-Command, and The AT-CMD Tester is my hand made utility to test the AT-Command set of the Siemens GSM cellphone and modem.
