Code for writing Delphi source program format (II.)

3.6 Properties

3.6.1 Nomenclature and format

The names of the variables of the class with which the prefix ' F ' is used are consistent.

3.7 Files

3.7.1 Project Files

3.7.1.1 Project directory Structure

Program Home directory--bin (application path)
-DB (the path where the local database resides)
-doc (the path where the document resides)
-hlp (the path where the Help files are located)
-backup (Backup path)
-tmp (temporary file path)

3.7.1.2 naming

The project file must use a meaningful name. For example: Delphi System Information in the project file is named SYSINFO.DPR.

3.7.2 Form File

3.7.2.1 naming

Consistent with the name of the form: for example, the name of the form is FormMain, and the name of the form file is formmain.frm.

3.7.3 Data Module File

3.7.3.1 naming

The name of the data module file should be meaningful and use ' DM ' as a prefix. For example, the user Data module is named ' Dmcustomers.dfm '.

3.7.4 Remote Data Module file

3.7.4.1 naming

The name of the remote Data module file should be meaningful and use ' RDM ' as the prefix. For example, the user remote Data module is named ' Rdmcustomers.dfm '.

3.7.5 Unit File

3.7.5.1 Common Unit

3.7.5.1.1 Unit file name

The name of the unit file should be meaningful and use ' unit ' as the prefix. For example: The universal unit is named ' Unitgeneral '.

3.7.5.2 Form Units

3.7.5.2.1 naming

The name of the form unit file must be the same as the name of the form. For example: The main form is called Formmain.pas the form unit file is named: Unitformmain.

3.7.5.3 Data Module Unis

3.7.5.3.1 naming

The name of the Data module unit file must be the same as the name of the data module. For example: The main data module called Dmmain.pas the Data Module unit file is named: Unitdmmain.

3.7.5.4 file Header

The head of all files should be written on the purpose of this file, the author, the date and the input and output. For example:
{
Date Modified:
Author:
Use:
This modular structure consists of:
}

3.7.6 forms and Data Modules forms

3.7.6.1 Form Class

1. Form class naming standard

The name of the forms class should be meaningful and use ' tform ' as a prefix. For example: The name of the About Form class is:
Taboutform = Class (Tform)
The name of the main form is
Tmainform = Class (Tform)

2. Naming criteria for form class instances

The name of the class instance of form should be the same as the name of the form class of ' T '. For example:
Type Name
Instance Name
Taboutform
AboutForm
Tmainform
MainForm

Tcustomerentryform
Customerentryform

3.7.6.2 Data Modules Form

3.7.6.2.1. Data Module Form naming standard

The name of the Data Modules forms class should be meaningful and use ' TDM ' as a prefix. For example:
Tdmcustomer = Class (Tdatamodule)
Tdmorders = Class (Tdatamodule)

3.7.6.2.2. Data Module Instance naming standard

The name of the class instance of the data module form should be the same as the name of the Data module form Class of ' T '. For example:
Type Name
Instance Name

Tcustomerdatamodule
Customerdatamodule

Tordersdatamodule
Ordersdatamodule

3.8 Control

3.8.1 the name of the control instance

The instance of the control should be prefixed with the name of the control class that removes ' T ', for example, the name of the Tedit that entered the user's name is: Editusername.

Shorthand for 3.8.2 controls

The name of the control can use the following shorthand, but the drug is added ' _ ' between the name of the control:
