Copy Protection & Feature Enablement Component? For one of my application I license third party zipcode data. It's provided on an annual license basis. So I need to ensure my application stops working if the license isn't renewed.  To accomplish this I'm looking for a Delphi component similar to OnGuard (which I have used in the past). In this case I don't want to use OnGuard as I notice it's riddled with 32 bit assembler and at some stage a 64 bit version of my application will be needed. It also isn't actively supported which is another negative point. So -does anyone know of a suitable component? I realize everything can be hacked if there is enough determination. I'm aiming to keep the honest guy honest? All help appreciated! Steve

TStream.Seek(Int64) problem in Delphi XE2 I've just discovered a condition in which I'm sending a INT64 value to a variable of type TStream, but it seems to use a 32-bit version of the function? Specifically, When I use TStream.Seek(MyInt64, soFromBeginning) it seems to be calling the 32-bit version of the function and "eff'ing" up the seek when the value is over 32-bit.  I've swapped it to use the TStream.Position property and it seems to use the 64-bit correctly. Any idea why? Stack Trace URL added for more documentation. == System.Classes == == START CUT == function TStream.Seek(const Offset: Int64; Origin: TSeekOrigin): Int64; begin { Default implementation of 64 bit seek is to deflect to existing 32 bit seek.   Descendents that override 64 bit seek must not call this default implementation. }   if (Offset High(Longint)) then     raise ERangeError.CreateRes(@SRangeError);   Result := Seek(Longint(Offset), Ord(Origin)); end; == END CUT== http://stackoverfl...

I needed about 4 hours to find this bug in Delphi XE5 (it may be there since D2009). Actually, I can understand why Delphi behaves like that but to my mind it's still a very dangerous bug that is also very hard to find. The problem occurs with non-packed records that have unused space inside. The default hash function in Delphi (e.g. that is used by TDictionary) may return 2 different hashes for the same record because it uses the bit represantation of the records which can be different for equal records (due to garbage in the unused record section). More importantly, the garbage may be caused by Delphi itself because records are not initialized. I definitely think it's a bug and I'll post it to QC. But before I do so I posted it here so you are aware of it as well. I am also a little bit worried if Embarcadero fixes it because it doesn't have a straightforward solution. A workaround is to use packed record. + What do you think about it? Showcase: program DictBug; {$APP...

I'm trying to convert some Delphi/FireDAC code that works with Firebird SQL to MSSQL. It should be straightforward, but of course it isn't :) For Firebird, I have a simple SQL statement:  UPDATE MY_TABLE SET FIELD_A=:PARAM_A I then set the FireDAC parameter and execute the statement. All good. The above SQL doesn't work with MSSQL so I change the parameter declaration to: UPDATE MY_TABLE SET FIELD_A=@PARAM_A I set the FireDAC parameter and execute the statement and I get the following error: Must declare the scalar variable "@PARAM_A". Any idea what could be wrong?

Hi,  is there anybody experienced in firemonkey mobile business app? Has anybody created such an app and could provide link to app store/play? I want to see business app so I can compare it with ours. I mean not one frame apps. Minimaly 20 frames or forms, showing rich data, connected to isapi datasnap server, nice design. Can anybody share a little of his knowledge? Is anywhere one app at least ? Thanks

Hi guys, I am just new to Delphi and I am trying to learn some of components. I tried to add a checkbox and wanted to store its value to a certain variable. if checkbox1.Checked then BIT:=1; /// when i tried to run the program and trap into it, it would say that the variable is inaccessible due to optimization.

I have recently introduced FireDac into our main app here at work. When running it on Windows Server 2003, I get the delightfully unhelpful: "Cannot load type library/dll" message.  Naturally, no info on which DLL is not able to be loaded -- that would be too easy. Can anyone think of what DLL might be missing on WIndows 2003 such that a FireDac application wouldn't run?

Is anyone here active in the Delphi area of Stack Overflow? I've felt a bit frustrated there recently, since they closed a couple of good posts you may have seen blog posts about.

It measures and reports activity in your code with the purpose of identifying performance bottlenecks. It records routine calls and reports time spent in each routine. It also shows you a list of routines that are called from a particular routine and how much was spent in a routine on behalf of a calling routine. In addition, MethodTimer contains a disassembler that reports the clock counts and pairing issues that affect the efficiency of your code.

Anyone know of any hosting sites that support ASP.Net AND Delphi? (Datasnap, Intraweb, ISAPI), etc.  I found a good one that supports ASP.Net, VS, but not ISAPI, Datasnap, etc.

Just got XE5 and looking to port an XE2/FIBPlus application to it, I would like to use FireDAC instead of FIBPlus as FIB+  dosen't seem to be as supported as it once was and FireDAC gives me the opportunity to use other database back ends for fussy customers.  I was looking at the refind utility the EMB provide for BDE or AnyDAC migration to FireDAC.  It uses a text file with rules in it and I was wondering if anyone has one that they have already done for FibPlus to FireDAc that they had success with.  Lazy I know but why reinvent the wheel :)

I'm a bit rusty so I don't see what I'm doing wrong here. I'm having some issues where the finalization order seems to depend on Application.Run being executed or not. In my setup, Unit1 uses Unit2 in the interface section. Unit1 contains a form which accesses a global pointer variable in Unit2 in the OnDestroy handler. Unit2 has an initialization and finalization section, and it nils the pointer in the finalization section. Now, by default, this works fine. However if I do not call Application.Run in the DPR file, then the finalization section in Unit2 is called before the form is destroyed. Sample code is here, add/remove a command line parameter to trigger the error. Alternatively just comment out Application.Run. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ky3ob758xofer1f/FinalizationError.zip In my real-world case, the "Unit2" is actually Data.SqlTimSt, and the global variable is it's internal SQLTimeStampVariantType variable, which is used indirectly through Data.DB, ...

XML issue in XE We have an issue which seems very strange. We use it for processing a return call from an external service (WorldPay in the most immediate case). It seems that everything that was compiled before December 19th (maybe a little later) handles the returned XML without a problem. Anything that has been compiled recently fails to load the XML. It may had a problem with $#A characters (adding them in when we created xml and not handling them when loading. This helped with some apps but even when we took those out and it still had a problem. It seemed to have a problem loading with this as part of the document  http://dtd.worldpay.com/paymentService_v1.dtd ">  once I took that out it was fine. I haven't updated anything within my XE for sometime. Any ideas?

Some time has passed and it's still so so difficult for me to change style in XE5 FireMonkey Style Designer. How do you create/set styles? For instance I want to change button style for android. Watch my steps: - Put button+bookstyle and see no stylelookup or style is set for button. - I GUESS 'buttonstyle' is style i'm looking for.  - Click on buttonstyle and NO button designer appears. - Change font color, click apply and voila, color has changed. Good. - I wanna change background BUT i see it uses rectangle png image. What now?  - I wanna have second button with different style. How can I make copy of style? What now? Should I save current style, make somewhere some changes and load it again?  Or can I do it EASILY? Thanks

I'm a late convert to TDD and unit testing in general, but I'm wondering if/when a slide back into RAD is warranted.  Take a (very) simple CRUD, for instance, something we all know can be created in Delphi with very little effort.  Are Delphi developers choosing to abstract all of that data access so it can be unit tested, or do they dip back into RAD? I guess it boils down to...does "always write testable code" generally translate to "never use RAD" for most TDDers? Thanks.

I confess I don't know how to translate this into normal code: if (Integer1 and Integer2) = 0 then  .....

Hi, anyone with some experience on #Android and #iOS development with Delphi #XE5 can share some thoughts on it? I have a mobile project to put in production and I am wondering if I should go for Delphi, #CoronaSDK , or  Java and xcode (2 separate projects for iOS and Android).

Has anybody used FFVCL? What are your experiences? Right now we are using TVideograbber for all of our video functionality but are not very happy with it because a) it's very expensive, which would be ok if not b) basically no support whatsoever and c) very buggy http://www.delphiffmpeg.com/

OXml is slowly approaching production state. Please take a look at it, test it and provide me some feedback. It has already become a pretty complex project, so I can hardly test all cases. Just 2 facts you have to know about OXml: - It's cross-platform and supports all Delphi compilers starting with Delphi 6. OSX, Mobile platforms and Lazarus are supported as well. - It is the fastest XML library for Pascal: Reading performance is about 6 times better than MSXML, 4 times better than OmniXML and it's even faster than the C-based libxml2 ported to Delphi. Version 0.7 introduces a cross-platform DOM vendor for Delphi's own XmlIntf.TXMLDocument. http://www.kluug.net/oxml.php

I am wanting to upgrade our code from Delphi 2007/2010 to XE5, and I am running into some roadblocks... third party libraries... We have upwards of 20 of those, some of which are buried deep in the darker caverns of our code, and some that I think the original developers threw in there merely to torment future developers. It is cumbersome (nigh impossible) to re-install the IDE, let alone upgrade. Anyone have any advice/wisdom on whether ripping out the more obscure components is wise/worth it? At this point, my lack of experience with Delphi is leaving me with no idea which direction to go. Thanks!

Unit Testing in Delphi with Nick Hodges Wednesday, February 12, 2014 6AM San Francisco / 9AM New York / 2PM London / 3PM Milan 11AM San Francisco / 2PM New York / 7PM London / 8PM Milan 5PM San Francisco / 13-Feb 10AM Tokyo / 13-Feb 12PM Sydney You’re invited to join Embarcadero and Delphi programming expert and author, Nick Hodges, for an in-depth look at unit testing in Delphi.  Without unit tests your code is fragile, hard to change, and unreliable. Unit testing is the only way that you can be sure that your code does what it is supposed to do. In this webinar, Nick discusses the basics of Unit Testing as well as providing a demo that illustrates the points at hand using the new DUnitX framework. This will lead to a discussion of stubs and mocks, and the use of the DelphiMocks framework to ensure that all your classes are tested in isolation. Topics covered include: * What is Unit Testing? * Why you should be doing Unit Testing * Proper unit testing techniques including covering the...

I am attempting to upgrade one of our applications from D2007 to D2010, and I have run into an issue I am not sure about. Basically, I try to compile and get an Undeclared Identifier error. However, I look and the identifier named as being undeclared is, in fact, declared. It is declared as a protected function of a class. Also, this code compiles just fine under D2007. A Google search of course returns examples of trying to use variables before they are declared... which I don't think is the case here. My questions is thus: Does anyone know of any strange issues with updating from D2007 to D2010 that may cause this? I should also probably mention that this is a fairly fresh install of D2010, are there any updates/fixes I have missed that may fix this issue? I can provide code examples if necessary... however the unit this occurs in is quite large. Also, I apologize that this is long. Please let me know (kindly) if anything I have posted here is inappropriate for this forum. Thanks...

Delphi SVN Private Hosting Does anyone have any advice for getting up and running to share code. I've been developing with Delphi for eons, but I've never done any joint development (shame on me).  I now need to do so... Delphi XE4 seems "Open from Version Control..." which opens from a SVN.  So the questions which string to mind: 1. Is SVN the best way to go - are there alternatives which work better for Delphi? 2. Are there any add-in / plug-ins which make it easier (or is Delphi's built in functionality rock solid)? 3. If I have a program stored under my "Documents" folder does this cause problems with the "C:\Users\Steve Maughan\" when other, with different names, try to access the file? 4. Are there any other newbie gotchas I should be aware of? Thanks, Steve

Welcome.  How to control the backlight in Delphi XE5?  How to adjust the time and the brightness of the backlight for my application?  Is there a function in Delphi or need something to do with Java?

Having a hard time finding a way to create a  FMX TBitmap with predefined pixel format in XE3, as I used to do with VCL  setting TBitmap.PixelFormat, just after creating a vcl.TBitmap instance. Now in Firemonkey this property is read-only :( I want direct access to bitmap data using the Map method without using GetPixel, SetPixel as this solution does:  http://members.adug.org.au/2012/10/05/read-write-image-bitmap-pixels-in-delphi-xe3/   The purpose is doing image processing at 32bits fixed pixel format.  work with backbuffer non-visible  bitmap then after all processing is done I can show the result to any canvas no matter the final pixel format.  Any light on this? Help appreciated! http://members.adug.org.au/2012/10/05/read-write-image-bitmap-pixels-in-delphi-xe3

You take any care about your Delphi application Memory usage?  Trying to get back to programming and maybe i'm  bit old fashioned because:  When I complained about Chrome annoying me using 1.5GB of RAM with only 8 tabs these where the replys here in g+ : "It's annoying if you don't have RAM to spare " "Anyone complaining about applications using ram is odd"

XE3, XE4 and XE5 still exists in the same focus bug when we put a control in  TTabControl. Embarcadero promised development with FireMonkey in OSX and now it seems they are only focused on mobile, maybe in the XE9 bugs will be fixed.
