Build a Simple VCL Application for Shopify データ

Embarcadero RAD Studio provides a development environment for Delphi and C++Builder applications. With the CData ODBC Driver for Shopify, you gain access to live Shopify データ within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to retrieve and update Shopify データ. This article will walk through connecting to Shopify and creating a simple VCL application with the Form Designer.

Create a Connection to Shopify データ

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

CData 製品のすべての機能を利用するには、AppId、Password、およびShopUrl 接続プロパティを指定します。

これらの値を取得するには、Shopify への接続 を参照して、CData 製品をアプリケーションとしてShopify に登録します。

You can then follow the steps below to use the Data Explorer to create a FireDAC connection to Shopify データ.

1. In a new VCL Forms application, expand the FireDAC node in the Data Explorer.
2. Right-click the ODBC Data Source node in the Data Explorer.
3. Click Add New Connection.
4. Enter a name for the connection.
5. In the FireDAC Connection Editor that appears, set the DataSource property to the name of the ODBC DSN for Shopify.

Create VCL Applications with Connectivity to Shopify データ

Follow the procedure below to start executing queries to Shopify データ from a simple VCL application that displays the results of a query in a grid.

1. Drop a TFDConnection component onto the form and set the following properties:

   • ConnectionDefName: Select the FireDAC connection to Shopify データ.
   • Connected: Select True from the menu and, in the dialog that appears, enter your credentials.

2. Drop a TFDQuery component onto the form and set the properties below:

   • Connection: Set this property to the TFDConnection component, if this component is not already specified.

   • SQL: Click the button in the SQL property and enter a query. For example:

     SELECT FirstName, Id FROM Customers
   • Active: Set this property to true.

3. Drop a TDataSource component onto the form and set the following property:

   • DataSet: In the menu for this property, select the name of the TFDQuery component.

4. Drop a TDBGrid control onto the form and set the following property:

   • DataSource: Select the name of the TDataSource.
5. Drop a TFDGUIxWaitCursor onto the form — this is required to avoid a run-time error.

You now have an executable application that displays the results of the SQL Query set in the TFDQuery object.
