Really I have to do that:  myLabel.FontColor := System.UITypes.TAlphaColorRec.Black or at least myLabel.FontColor := TAlphaColorRec.Black ??? this is very boring...

Did you see this kind of data module error? (XE4) Any reasons? Sometimes the IDE eats all associations in other forms without any notification (when compiling) ...

CSS problems in our G+ community? I say CSS because I recently saw a G+ error message referring to a CSS problem during a page reload of our community, but none since.

A new app developed with Delphi XE5 and Firemonkey This app is a remote camera visualization and control software, that runs on Android and Apple mobile devices (Phone and Tablets) We got a very very good performance out of Firemonkey... and I got to say that I´m really impressed with the capabilities of Firemonkey... of course it has its issues, but nothing that we can´t find a way around... The app is not available yet (Thought it will be free) because it is still under development, but should be available soon!

Okay, folks:  interesting theoretical question for you. If you were writing a C/S app in Delphi, and your back end were MS SQL Server, what data access technology would you use if your concern was purely speed and performance?   Again, I don't care about convenience, amount of code needed, features of the framework -- all I care about is performance.   And to taint the response a bit, I'm particularly interested in where you think raw ADO/MDAC fits into things.

Very interesting: function Apples(nb : Integer) : String; begin    Result := IntToStr(nb) + ' apple(s)'; end; and function Apples(nb : Integer) : String; begin    Result := IntToStr(nb);    Result := Result + ' apple(s)'; end; Which function faster? ...

hi everyone, I have problem with TComboBox in #firemonkey application ( #DelphiXE4  ) I want to change text color in ComboBox, I mean text wich we see when combobox is its usual state. I've created custom style for combobox and changed color in foreground object as in TEdit. Nothing changed. After that I googled that I should change TListBoxItem style, (seems it is little bit differrent things). no luck here too. Also I tried to iterate through item and change TextSettings property. no luck anyway. does anyone know how to do that (color of text in ComboBox itself, not in popup)?

Ok.  Question for my fellow Monkeyteers (is that a word).  I am working on a custom component (I missed coderage session on custom FM components - looking forward to the replay) for the smoking ape.  How the f**k do I add a caret to it?  I have tried duplicating the code from TMemo but its just not working..... The positioning is right, the caret is parented to the control, it should be getting drawn - what could I be missing here?  If I do a canvas.drawrect then I can see the size an position look about right, but the caret itself just isn't there.....

Anyone with XE5 care to check if the following still gives an internal compiler error? type Interf1 = interface end; Interf2 = interface end; TObj = class (TInterfacedObject, Interf1, Interf2) end; var i1: Interf1; i2: Interf2; begin i1 := TObj.Create; i2 := i1 as Interf2; end.

This happens when I select Ad-Hoc instead of debug. [PAClient Error] Error: E0009 Cannot create file "\\?\C:\abc\ProjectName\c:\output\dcu\ProjectName\iOSDevice\Debug\ProjectName.ipa".  What should i do?

Soooooooooooo, who's online at coderage 8 right now?  I am :-)

I came across a gotcha today in that the declaration was:     type       Tblah = object       end; and not:     type       Tblah = class       end; and it seems that: a) the enhanced RTTI can not handle of type object, and b) class helpers can not be used. So, apart from stopping people to the new features on the type, is there any reason to use an object type (instead of a class type)? The only documentation I have found is here : http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE5/en/Classes_and_Objects#Object_Types

So I'm having a case of morning daftness. Why can't record constructors be parameterless? After all records don't support inheritance, and there is nothing preventing you from declaring a parameterless class function called Create...

Hi everyone, I have Delphi XE4 update 1 and started new #FireMonkey   project. I don't have a lot of experience with FM platform. I decided to create separate DataModule and place all my StyleBooks, which I'm going to share between forms, there. So, problems are: 1. IDE doesn't allow to add simple shapes in StylesDesigner when stylebook is in datamodule. 2. I should create DM before creating any form in my application, so I edited dpr file. Application starts fine, but when I open such form in designer I get exception. after that I decided to create hidden form instead of DataModule to store shared StyleBooks, this solves problem 1.1. But problem 2 remains. Any time I open form which uses shared StyleBook I get an error message and sould press Ignore button to continue my work. Does anyone know about best practises of using shared stylebooks?

I'm trying to get started with Firemonkey, Android, FireDAC in XE5. Task: Connect to MySQL-Server. First I built an example app with TFDConnection and compiled it under Win32 - works nice. Then I wanted to switch to Android. First observation: No FireDAC libraries for Android available... but the sources are. Ok, added Program Files(x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\12.0\source\data\firedac\ to library path and let them compile for Android. At least it compiles now... But when running the app on the Android device, it is looking for libmysql.so (the Win32 program also needs libmysql.dll which can just be downloaded). I tried to search for a corresponding package for Android but it seems hard to find anything about that. Seems like MySQL-Support for FireDAC/Android is not yet fully supported? Any other way for connecting to MySQL or fetching some data (via PHP?)... ?

In case there's someone here who doesn't track the non-tech group, and is interested in these things, I made a small benchmark in order to test the Delphi x64 compiler. I did it mostly for fun, but I'd noticed that Delphi's x64 compiler did not use the extra registers in an effective manner. So I wanted to see just how it fared compared to a better optimizer. For the test I used the Tiger hash function[1] as it is public domain, constructed to be fast on 64bit CPUs and it should take advantage of the higher register count. Using a hash function menas it's also easy to verify that the implementations compute the same thing. The original C++ code was ported as closely as possible, while (hopefully) avoiding obviously stupid things. The Delphi x64 compiler was beaten by Visual C++ 2012 by a factor of 2.3: C++    480 MB/s Delphi 205 MB/s C#     140 MB/s (no "unsafe" code) I re-ran the test on 32bit and Delphi fared a bit better: C++    161 MB/s Delphi  88 MB/s...

I wrote a Datasnap Rest Service application and the Exe is 24MB.  I tried putting: {$WEAKLINKRTTI ON} {$RTTI EXPLICIT METHODS([]) PROPERTIES([]) FIELDS([])} but then I get an exception when starting the service saying there is not enough RTTI in the service.  Does anyone know how I can make the EXE smaller (XE4)?   It's not much code, but I guess the JSON and datasnap code is included in the Exe.

We have a small program which runs a stored proc on the server. The result set is then processed to deliver a CSV file. We are getting an error now which seems to have come up simply because the number of rows returned is too large for a TADOQuery to handle properly. I am told that the error message is "Dataset was open." Very nice. If anyone has had this experience, or can suggest a better way to deal with the issue in the context of about a million rows of 60 columns returned, please shout. This is a small app which was written by someone no longer on the project, and has worked properly for 2-3 years.

One of the more visible problems I've encountered with FM on iOS and Android is the transition between TabPages (TTabControl.SetActiveTabWithTransition). Even on an iPhone5 the frame rate is awful. After looking at the tab transition code I realised that the problem was mainly caused by both tabs being redrawn for every frame of the animation. As many of you have realised by now FM controls start to paint slowly once you have more than a few child controls. I have written an extension to TTabControl that caches the two tab pages before animating the transition. This greatly improves the frame rate. The component also accepts additional parameters that allow you to control the duration and type of animation along with a variable that sets how far the outgoing tab will move. There is currently an issue that may down to my lack of understaning of FMX bitmaps. It could also be an FMX bug - please take a look at this StackOverflow question for more info:  http://stackoverflow.com/questi...

The problem is I can't just disable this one hint, no, that would be a nice and sensible feature. Instead I have to disable *all* hints, and miss out on the sensible ones, like unused variables and other things which may point to actual code issues . In fact, the failure to inline is of such little importance there should be a specific command line switch to turn on the failure reporting, ala how VC++ deals with auto-vectorization. Oherwise it should just shut the fuck up!

Can someone help me with #DataSnap   REST Application and callbacks? I'm new to DataSnap. I'm going to create simple DS Server and web client with few buttons. I created new datasnap server (Datasnap REST Application) using wizard, modified web-pages, css, wrote my server methods. it works fine.

I watched "Heavyweight Callbacks with DataSnap " by Methew DeLong  ( Heavyweight Callbacks with DataSnap - Part 2: Thin Client ) Seems it is very easy, but it uses "DS Server" wizard and executes callback method using ServerContainer1 variable (ServerContainer1.DSServer1.BroadcastMessage()).

So, the question is, how do I implement callbacks in DataSnap REST Application at server side (in #Delphi-XE4), or I should use ...

This not work  :P if MT is TMyProc1  then doSometing1; if MT is TMyProc2  then doSometing1; thanks
