Blog post "Buy Delphi, Get 6 Months Free Maintenance" at http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/buy_delphi_free_maintanance.html

Hi all, I'm trying to understand some details on Google TOS in relation to a Delphi application.  Is it ok for google if you wrap a google search (or image search) with the whole browser in a TWebBrowser of a Delphi application? No automation involved, it's just a way to avoid user to open the browser as a separated app.

Well, I pulled the trigger and just purchased the upgrade from 2009 Pro to XE4 Pro.  Now I just have to save my pennies to afford the mobility pack. Now where did I put those planning specs on all those back burner projects?

When it was fixed ? We stumbled that XE2 happily finalizes constants, thus you cannot load the same BPL twice is you have another BPL with string constants. That happened in XE2 Win32, but seems it was already fixed in Xe4u1 Win32. Did not tested Win64 yet. I googled http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=79756 as the closest topic to the issue - but there is only a comment on this. I did not found yet any public reference to that bug and when and how it was fixed. Maybe some remembers ? Test project is at http://rghost.ru/47754697 http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=79756

We're having problems dealing with FireMonkey 'native' iOS controls such as TWebBrowser. The problem is that they don't behave correctly when setting properties such as Position.X. Also, they don't allow FireMonkey controls to be displayed above them. Does anybody have a solution? See my StackOverflow question for more info. #ios #FireMonkey #Delphi http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17919378/firemonkey-controls-based-on-ios-controls-do-not-behave-correctly

Hi group, I am developing a Intraweb application.When i use WebApplication.Showmessage('test message') it gives different header of message box across the different browsers. i am attaching snap of message box on different browsers  any one having idea how we can have same message header.

Does JCL/JVCL supports XE4 ?

Sometimes I hate generics and full qualified type names... [DCC Error] Spring.Collections.Dictionaries.pas(430): E2010 Incompatible types: 'System.TArray .TKey,Spring.Collections.Dictionaries.TDictionary .TValue>>' and 'System.TArray .TKey,Spring.Collections.Dictionaries.TDictionary .TValue>>'

Issue with DLL debugging. Using XE4, I'm building a DLL and a VCL application which consume the DLL. Everything works fine except that sometimes, the debugger doesn't stop on breakpoints (Blue dots are not showing). After a while, it works again without apparent reason. I tried many things to make it works again once it is broken. I was not able to find out a reproductible way to have the blue dots back. Sometimes, it is enough to delete the directory conatining all DCU (same dir for app et dll). Sometimes not. Sometimes, restarting the IDE solve the issue. Sometimes not. Sometimes, doing a "clean" on both project solve the issue. Sometimes not. I don't clearly understand the underlaying mechanism and I cannot find a reproductible way to solve the issue. I'm not alone. See Stackoverflow article: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5679989/delphi-why-breakpoints-from-time-to-time-are-not-usable-green-highlighted-line Any hint appreciated.

I discovered now that github show ? on diffs for international characters like Swedish. I am sure it depends on that my Delphi 2007 save source as ANSI. It should be UTF-8. Is there a way to convert a whole project to UTF-8 and make it default when create a new unit or form ? I read this post  http://www.micro-isv.asia/2008/12/choose-the-right-file-format-for-your-delphi-source-code/ http://www.micro-isv.asia/2008/12/choose-the-right-file-format-for-your-delphi-source-code/

If you read Malcom Groves recent blog post and have XE3 or XE4 you might have taken a look at the FMX.Messages unit. First I wondered what this has to do with FM - imho nothing. It should be part of the RTL as it clearly is platform/framework indipendent. Then if you take a look at the code you most likely will find a bug - in the TMessage.Manager.Unsubscribe - comparing the address of two delegates will most likely NOT result true. At least someone noticed that and fixed it for XE4 - BUT ONLY for the overload which takes the procedure of object parameter, not for the procedure reference. Did I mention that it does not remove all listeners if you added one more than once? Then obviously the person that wrote this don't know about TObjectDictionary that handles ownership of its values - no extra code in the destructor necessary - btw WHY THE F call FreeAndNil on a local variable (hence that cast to TObject because that needs to be passed to FreeAndNil)? Does anyone actually expect t...

Component : TLabel Property : Transparent Delphi XE Why is the property Transparent depending on the Windows Theme setting? If my theme is set to "Windows 7" or "Windows 7 Basic", the property is default True. If my theme is set to "Windows Classic", the property is default False. What am I missing?

Fun US Highway sign I made to help people find their way to iPhone, Windows and Mac development.

As an aside to Jeroen Pluimers' blog entry on Messagepack/BSON, I note that on the Messagepack site, languages represented include Erlang, D, Scala, Haskell, Smalltalk, and OCaml, none of which appear on the TIOBE index top 20, and no entry for Pascal or Delphi.  My point being that the absence of popular support for Delphi and Pascal has much less to do with actual usage than with other factors.

Has anyone worked with the MMap component in HTML5Builder? The documentation says that the map can be referenced in JavaScript my using the componentname_map but that object does not exist in the DOM. I have used FireBug to try and snoop out the global variable to no luck. Has anyone used the map and how do you reference it in code? Thanks, Jim

Can I use both Delphi XE3 and XE4 to work on the same project? What are the drawbacks? Would I need to maintain multiple project or settings files or something like that?

I wish EMBT would use tag in ToolsAPI. Otherwise I really have no idea about how to properly use some interfaces. e.g.   /// RAD Studio 2009     IOTAEditBuffer = interface(IOTAEditBuffer60)   //...   end;

While I am building our own compiler for DocInsight 3, I realized that the compiler directive $IF is really evil (compared to its occasional power). The usage of Declared/SizeOf/etc in the condition expression makes three stages lexing/parsing/compilation gone. It also seems impossible to benefit from parallel in multi-core machines. Typically, if you use $If Declared/SizeOf in type declaration, the Delphi IDE (or third-party utils) may not handle it properly as the IDE only parses a single unit to get its structure.

Hello I just made a video from my first iOS app that I made with Delphi XE4: Digifort Mobile Camera with Delphi XE4 This is a software that "turns" your iPhone into a security camera, streaming live video from the iPhone camera to Digifort camera surveillance system (Also compiled in XE4). I took about 2 weeks to finish the app (Including the time to learn the Firemonkey for iOS), but now I'm just waiting apple developer to be online again in order to send my app for approval Comments are appreciated! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_lEPpp7oeA

Blog post "FireMonkey Webinar and White Paper" at http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/firemonkey_webinar_white_paper.html

I am looking for suggestions on some code rework. Given: Data import from a spreadsheet, with column names in the first row. Column order and count are now subject to change. I must import to a grid, and in the grid, present in-place editors as well as validation for the import data. Numerous of the editors are combo boxes populated from the DB. What I thought to do was define in a const array the things I must know for each column (column name, header, field name, and so on), and to define this statically. While that works well enough, maintenance of the array is a mind-numbing affair, and as I am now dealing with 9 items for each column, and over 40 columns, well, it's not pretty. I'd appreciate suggestions from anyone with a neater solution to taming this monster.

Here's my solution to the "can't combine constant arrays"... record constants with booleans in them. I'm posting code because of the truly ugly "decide based on four booleans" decision tree that I had to code. I decided that "A XOR B NAND C XNOR D" type code was just not maintainable so I went with one if statement per use case. I decided to include a picture of the code because that's what I see and I think it's easier to read. type   TInstallRec = record     ProgramOne: Boolean;     ProgramTwo: Boolean;     Name: string;   end; const   INSTALL_FILES: array[1..82] of TInstallRec = (     { 1}(ProgramOne: True; ProgramTwo: True; Name: 'data.zip'), function FileInInstallList(const Filename: string; IncludeSolutionlink, IncludeVisionlink: Boolean): Boolean; var   i: Integer; begin   result := False;   i := Low(INSTALL_FILES);   while (not result) and (i   begin     result := SameText(Filename, INSTALL_FILES[i].Name);     // four ca...

Guess what the output of this code is... there's no tricks, it's just a constant array and a "find the index" function. program console_test; {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} uses   SysUtils; const   TEST_ARRAY: array[100..102] of string = ('one', 'two', 'three'); function IndexOfStringInArray(const AString: string;    aArray: array of string): Integer; begin   // SameText is case insensitive   result := Low(aArray);   while (result     and not SameText(AString, aArray[result]) do   begin     Inc(result);   end;   if result > High(aArray) then     raise Exception.Create('string not found in array'); end; var   i: Integer; begin   try     WriteLn('String "one" found at index ',       IndexOfStringInArray('one', TEST_ARRAY));     //for i := Low(TEST_ARRAY) to High(TEST_ARRAY) do     //  WriteLn(i, ' = ', TEST_ARRAY[i]);     ReadLn;   except     on E: Exception do       WriteLn(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message); ...

We'd like to invite you to have a look at our new iOS Showcase! With this showcase demo, we wanted to demonstrate the power of both TMS iCL (version 1.5) and TMS Cloud Pack for iOS (version 1.1) products for creating iOS applications. We refer to the power in terms of achieving a 100% true native iOS look and feel, using RAD methodology for developing the application, almost codeless access to a wide range of cloud services, access the iOS device hardware and finally getting the most performance out of the application. A download of the showcase demo is available at http://www.tmssoftware.com/site/iosshowcase.asp Direct link to the video: iOS showcase http://www.tmssoftware.com/site/iosshowcase.asp

Based on the recent EMBT survey and comments here by Marco Cantù, it seems clear that new versions of Delphi will focus on new features. We've been told before that nobody, or not enough people, will pay for just bug fixes and improvements, but I don't believe that is the case.  Who would be happy to pay for an upgrade that was primarily focused on bug fixes and performance improvements?  I know that I would.

Can anyone or Marco Cantù suggest to me "why we choose Delphi for mobile device over other mobile solution (virtual machine/scripting)" I mean what other benefit we get other then speed. The other solution can access hardware service too. So i might missing some other information.  I'm asking this not because i don't like Delphi mobile solution, but i am planning to write a book about Delphi for mobile device, and i need to convince my reader why they should think about to use Delphi over other cheaper solution.  Thanks

This is driving me nuts. We have rather lots of these arrays in our install/upgrade codes (lists of files) and they are badly out of sync. Being able to have a few smaller "constant array of string"s and compose the rest out of those would make life much easier. I'm beginning to think the whole "constant array" is an ugly kludge hammered onto the side of Pascal when it became obviously necessary, rather than something that's been thought through. It's bad enough that we have three or four different ways to get the same result (if you count "array of const" parameters) that are incompatible with each other, and only one can actually be declared at compile time.  I will try concatenating functions that return arrays now, that should be fun. That way I can make them return constants... how ugly can we get?

Hi Delphiers, I'm actually developping software using XE2, and my company biggest product is developped with Delphi 4 and has a Midas server. A complete rewrite of this application is planned in a mid term future, but actually I need to pick some data from this application. Is there any possibility to connect to an antique Midas server from XE2  in order to perform basic tasks (get the content of some tables) ? Google doesn't helped me at all to find if it's possible or not. TY for your answers

Gents -- I know this is a totally open ended question with little information, but here goes...... Can anyone think of a reason that a socket server application would hum along just fine accepting connections, and then suddenly stop, giving the dreaded 10061 error (Connection actively refused)? That's happening to me and I don't have many more details than that.

Note to my future self... Be careful inverting an if statement that's comparing integers. if SomeInt = SomeOtherInt then   //... else   //... The following: if not SomeInt = SomeOtherInt then Does a bitwise negation of SomeInt before comparing it to SomeOtherInt. The correct inversion is: if not (SomeInt = SomeOtherInt) then or if SomeInt SomeOtherInt then

My favorite example of novice programming: if SomeCondition then   SomeVar := True else   SomeVar := False; because SomeVar := SomeCondition; is too easy.
