Hello. I am in need to design the hierarchy of classes (up to 10 classes), and I am looking for some UML-like tool for this, which would generate the code at the end. There was ModelMaker long time ago (and we licensed it), but right now it's a one-time task, so I'd use something simpler and preferably free. Any suggestions, please?

Hi Can you tell me how can i save PDF file to MS SQL Table in Delphi 10.1 ?

Does anyone have experience using the APIs at https://market.mashape.com/spoonacular ? I am trying to POST some data and use the Response. They do not have a Pascal example. I think I have used Indy10 to post. However, all the POST examples show the URL with a "/dosomething.php" or something similar. Then the HTTP component adds a "?name=value&one=two&" and so on for all the headers and data. The API call I want to use does not have this, " http://spoonacular-recipe-food-nutrition-v1.p.mashape.com/recipes/visualizePriceEstimator " When I send the request it sends ...Estimatorx-mashape-key=xxxxxx... The response is "missing key". Can someone show me how to do this? Win 10, Delphi XE7 Pro. https://market.mashape.com/spoonacular/recipe-food-nutrition

Hello guys, Some days ago I started a project aiming decrease the gap in the integration between Delphi and Objective-C, it is the first time I own an iPhone device (it was a gift, I am a poor guy :P) and my first contact with Delphi wrapping Objective-C APIs, it is pretty good however the integration between the two languages is not pleasant, using TOCGenericImport and TOCLocal is not much beautiful. The idea here is consume Objective-C APIs in a more friendly way, using the max of Delphi code possible :D It is hosted here ( https://github.com/fofoflylandia/Raco ) in very very early phase, at this time it is just an experiment. If you are interested on it, please let me know :D Thanks in advance and thanks for Chris Rolliston and David Nottage for answering my question here :D

Lasse has released new version of TBCEditor. Lately he has been included pretty good optimizations also. For some cases it's faster than SynEdit (With big file, keep in mind that SynEdit has "native" pascal code highlighters and TBCEdit has dynamic highlighting) If you have need for syntax highlighting or already use one, you really should check this out. And I think it would be good choice even if you do not need highlighting at all. https://github.com/bonecode/TBCEditor/releases/tag/v1.7.0 PS. not my project ;) https://github.com/bonecode/TBCEditor/releases/tag/v1.7.0

Steffen Nyeland i can not comment on your post re DnD.

I've been playing around with Berlin for a couple of days. These sessions is about finding out about a lot of changes and additions since XE2 (i use XE7 too, but only "like" XE2 because i could not upgrade some of the needed libraries). It's a lot of fun catching up on RTL, VCL and what 3rd Party Libs i could afford. So i'm starting small projects and checking out published properties a lot. 1. Is there a keyboard shortcut for the ellipsis button in the Object Inspector? The button brings up collection and other kinds of design-time editor windows / dialogs. 2. Is there a IDE plugin or something that will keep the active row in the Object Inspector after i clicked and used a collection editor? Why; When i click (example "Columns" property in TDBGrid) to edit a collection the collection gets focused in the "Structure" view, that changes the content of the Object Inspector and when i close the editor the active row is the first again. It's ki

Hi, I have a problem getting the data from the source node in a virtual treeview OLE dragNdrop operation - between processes. I have a VCL form with a TVirtualStringTree and a TMemo - and the objective is to be able to drag one node to another, and on the drop take some of the source nodes data and manipulate the target nodes data. Within the same application no issues, but when doing this between processes - I do not seem to able to get data from the DataObject as I would expect. I do not want to add or insert nodes in target tree - just have access to both my source and my target nodes. An example of one of my tries for the DragDrop event: var Data: PString; Node: PVirtualNode; begin if Source<>nil then // within same process begin Data := TVirtualStringTree(Source).GetNodeData(TVirtualStringTree(Source).FocusedNode); Memo1.Lines.Add('Source data: '+ Data^); end else begin // between applications Node := Sender.AddChild(nil); // temp node

Do i have the sources for FireDAC? It was impossible to Google the answer. So i opened the feature-matrix PDF. I'm using Professional w/o any "packs". I can only find: Source code of the included database drivers [ C2 D2 ] ... FireDAC source code [ C4 D4 ] Numbers are footnotes, heres the ledger: X2 = Optional with FireDAC Client/Server pack in Professional editions X4 = Limited to local connections in Professional editions, remote connections optional and part of the FireDAC Client/Server pack I think they meant D2 for the second entry. Bummer. From the look of it FireDAC looks very capable. If it's not as buggy and incomplete as other stuff [ehrm... another topic, another forum] then i'm impressed. But w/o sources i won't touch it.

Hi, We have developed a desktop GUI application using Embarcadero Delphi XE6. It is Multi tier application using DBExpress, DataSnap technology. We face poor performance, memory leaks, system crash, and unstable application server problems. Originally it was developed in Delphi 5. Using Midas, bde connectivity, multi tier architecture. It was fine and supported 70 concurrent users. Later we migrated to Delphi XE2 DataSnap, and the problem is started. We asked to upgrade to XE6. But the problem is yet not solved. We are looking for experts / consultants to review our application’s design, to improve the performance and stability. Also we want to develop a Delphi DataSnap REST application server and html 5 clients to support mobile and web browsers. Please reply me to make further discussions and to make arrangements to review our application. With regards J. Faridh faridh.jmr at gmail.com skype faridh.jmr

At the moment, I'm looking for justification (if any) for using a service like Kinvey for push notifications for mobile devices. Take the example where there's an existing DB of customers, and you're (probably) able to associate one or more devices with each customer by adding a table that links them. Apparently Kinvey does the "push work" for you (i.e. sends push notifications to iOS and Android devices), however it looks like you still need to build the list of customers and their devices anyway so that it knows where to send them. I figure I could extend TBackendPush and just do the push to Apple and GCM myself. Of course this all entails extending a backend service (or building one). Would there be any advantage here in using something like Kinvey?

Is it me or does the TImageList in FMX Berlin (Starter) fail to load the appropiate Icon-Layer and instead always loads the first? I have a multiresolution-icon and i only get the x16 Layer. I need the x32 layer. EDIT: Is customsize x32 correct then? (and then loading the icon) EDIT2: Okay it seems to be impossible to load the x32 layer. Exported a x32 png (-.-). But WHY does the TButton resize it to x16? All i want is a x32 picture on ab button, centered.

Ok, I have two datasnap web services , where I'm using two different ports (I have it in an ini file, and when each service starts, I set the port in the ServiceStart event). On Windows 7, I can install and start both services. On Windows Server 2012, if the first installed service is running, the second one can't be installed (gets an error saying the port is already in use). If I stop the first one, I can install the second one, but I cannot run both services at the same time. Any ideas? It is strange that it works fine in Windows 7 and not Windows server 2012.

Is it a bug or a feature ? When a ActionList state is asSuspended, any change on the Action items do not affect the associated components (like Enabled), and when you switch the ActionList state to asNormal, the state is out of sync.

Delphi generics TObjectList does have the Extract(const Value: T): T; method. But what about Extract(Index: Integer). I a lot of the cases the index is known and it makes no sense to search again and again for the pointers.

Delphi generics TObjectList does have the Extract(const Value: T): T; method. But what about Extract(Index: Integer). I a lot of the cases the index is known and it makes no sense to search again and again for the pointers.

I found that Delphi generics TObjectList with an attached TComparer behaves very strange. I struggle into that problem while switching my code from normal TObjectList to TObjectList . The heavy to understand background is the fact that the Remove(const Value: T) suddenly uses "undocumented" the TComparer and not the pointer. That works fine as long as there are not "key doubles" in the list. I know this sounds rather technical and I have prepared a small sample to make the problem visible. RunTest(False) works RunTest(True) fails Perhaps I should stop using TObjectList .Create(const AComparer: IComparer ; AOwnsObjects: Boolean) --- unit uTest; interface uses classes; type TPerson = class(TObject) public Name: string; RecID: integer; constructor Create(AName: string; ARecID: integer); end; TMyTest = class(TObject) procedure RunTest(AAddComparer: boolean); end; implementation uses system.Generics.Collections, system.Generics.Defaults, sysUtils; procedure TM

Hello guys, I am playing with ObjectiveC and Delphi, it is very fun however I am stuck with a problem. In the ObjectiveC side I have: NSError *error = nil; if ([context canEvaluatePolicy:LAPolicyDeviceOwnerAuthenticationWithBiometrics error:&error]) {} I have already wrapped this method in the following way: LAContext = interface(NSObject) ['{8F6B7D53-83A8-43D3-B6C2-116068C382CE}'] function canEvaluatePolicy(policy: LAPolicy; error: PNSError): Boolean; cdecl; end; PNSError = ^NSError; I am getting Access Violation all the time I try to extract the content of this pointer.

Another question re TImageList and Buttons. How do I adjust the position of an image that I have placed in a TButton (or Speedbutton)?

When I add an image (32x32) to a TListImage it appears smaller (I think 16x16) when I add that image to a Button or SpeedButton. It also knocks out the background color which I can live with but I need to increase the size of the image on the buttons. In the attached screenclip the middle image is the original size shown in a TImage (32x32). Any ideas?

I have the following issue: When adding a new unit to a Delphi project the IDE always adds the new unit at the end of the uses clause. This is a issue since after the last unit there is a ';' instead of a ','. The problem is that when I'm working with several branches in my vcs and adding new units in every branch it is difficult to merge them at the end of the day. That's why I'm looking for an IDE add in that allows to automatically sort the units of a project. Has someone heard about this functionality?

Wow, this parses: property DepartmentName: string index 0 string read GetCustomDataX; Note the extra "string". Found this in an old piece of code so it must have been uncaught by the compiler for quite a while.

In comment of Jim McKeeth 's "How big is your Delphi project?" ( http://community.embarcadero.com/blogs?view=entry&id=8890 which does not allow comments). Largest binary here is 1.57 millions lines, full build in about 15 seconds, with optimizations and detailed map file (without map file, build takes 12 seconds). This is with XE 32bits. ...and this is with an "old" AMD Phenom II CPU. Compile times are definitely one of the reasons I keep using Delphi. Hopefully compiler speed will be a renewed focus for future Delphi versions!

Congratulations to Nick Hodges​, but whats with the duplicate posts, people :D

I have a project which I opened and the IDE does a very strange thing. The compiler doesn't recognise the changes I make in the code unless I Clean and then compile/build the project again. After the changes, it points me to lines and content from the previous edits. Has anyone experienced this before? Knows how to fix it? Is there a switch or something?

I am pulling my hair out trying to get the IDE connected to mySQL via FireDac. Here is what I have tried: 1. Downloaded mySQL and extracted 32bit libmysql.dll 2. Copied it into the Windows/System32 folder 3. Added Windows/System32 to path 4. Edited the FDDrivers.ini file and added: [MySQL] VendorLib=c:\Windows\System32\libmysql.dll What am I missing here? I can use MyDac and I connect very easily. But I am in a situation now where I can not use any third party components and must use the built in FireDac in Delphi. Help please!

Hello! I would've thought that, in the latest incarnations, Indy would automatically create the necessary components to support HTTPs. However, I am getting a 501/Not implemented.

GExperts had been working find before the Update was installed.

Hello everybody, after Reinstalling my complete RAD Studio using der downloadable ISO-Image for RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin Update 1 it did not install any Interbase Components anymore. How can I install the interbase. I want to install a small Database which shall be running on Windows Desktop and on Android. Synchronising is supposed to be implemented by my own. I thought using Interbase Database would be OK to store Data until the correct network is available. Can anybody give me some links on how to best implement this? Thanks in advance Greets Frank

Is "Multithreading - The Delphi Way" by Martin Harvey still relevant nowadays to read if not to use at least? http://www.nickhodges.com/MultiThreadingInDelphi/ToC.html At some point in time it could had been a book but that didn't happen obviously. Thanks to Nick Hodges for hosting this nice piece for so much time. http://www.nickhodges.com/MultiThreadingInDelphi/ToC.html

Originally shared by David Berneda Working hard improving the "GEO" database. Relationships between tables enable using your data in "group by" summary queries, and also to create automatic charts with zero lines of code. Choosing the appropiate map, finding the map polygons using codes (zip, fips, nuts, names, etc) and filling them with your data values is done automatically

Hey guys, I'm posting a link to an unofficial document of mine about PPL (a framework by Allen Bauer) - "Introduction to parallel programming library in Delphi". I wrote it a few years ago, but hadn't published it yet, because it needs (technical) review. The document is in OneDrive and can be freely edited (be constructive, please) with MS word Online or Offline. It has track changes enabled, so using your Microsoft account will leave your name in its history (Credits section is hungry for names :) ). The document does not pretend to be detailed, it may contain stale information (it was written for XE7) or it may contain some incorrect technical information. NOTE: The document contains my thoughts, my point of view and my understanding of how PPL is designed and works (after reading parts of its source code). So please do not accept this content as 100% valid. That is currently this whitepaper should not be used as reliable source of information about PPL, nor be rep

Is anybody up for building a collection of code snippets? If you're like me, you've got a folder with some .pas files in it that have snippets of code that just don't fit anywhere. For example, I'll spend some time trying to figure out how to do something, searching around the web and grabbing bits and pieces of things until I've gotten something that works. Then I'll save that code to a file with some comments (if needed) for use later. Sometimes it's just a few lines of code, and sometimes it's an entire class or two. Some of these snippets work their way into a "common.pas" file, but mostly they're not exhaustive enough to become a separate component or library. For instance, I've got some code for when I want to use a TPageControl that has dynamically created TTabsheets that contain some kind of edit control (eg., a TMemo Aligned to Client with certain attributes set), similar to what you'd build a tabbed editor around. This is

(Or Getit Feature Request) Rant? no, it's a suggestion to specify the correct name of the free components on Getit. I believe Get-it needs another category group for "Free Trials" or mark those as Free-Trial on the thumbnail or description. I'm talking about woll2woll's firepower and infopower. Days ago I try to install them (not knowing nothing about them) and the IDE just stops at loading asking for a serial key and some weird errors/message that I don't remember, I remove both, without testing; today I seek to install them again just to check what was this "free" things then I see in the name of the installer that is a trial "InfoPowerStudioBerlin_trial.exe". I don't like to install trials (because of past bad experiences). If Getit shows the "trial" word I will not try it, or maybe yes, but after investigate more (videos, demos). Thanks!

It's time to renew my subscription. But this year my payment decision is related to the following topic - Parallel Programming Library (#PPL) and some connected questions: 1) Will PPL evolve in the next 1-2 versions i.e. will we have missing features like Task Continuation and Cancellation Token support (RSP-13286) etc; 2) Is there a deadline for fixing unresolved (for months) show stopper PPL related QCs? I would like to hear thoughts from Marco Cantù or anyone who has some information.

Anyone noticing that Delphi Berlin 10.1.1 is slower than 10.1, at loading projects and showing forms? I feel a big difference after installing the last update. Thanks.

hi there, we are using DevExpress components, there is one field TcxCurrencyEdit ( field 1) there is another one on cxGrid which is FooterSummaryValue[i], sum of all values on a colum (field 2) we try to display some indicator if above two fields have the same value then display green otherwise display red. weird thing happens yesterday the color display red, through debug both of fields have the value as 4566996 but when I do (field 1.value - field 2.value) I got the following number: 9.31322574615479e-10 And I googled that number and truns out it's a magic number as 1 GiB to EiB = 9.31322574615479E-10 exbibytes so I don't know what is happend here, I think something to do with field one type is double and field 2 type is variant but even I convert field 2 as double still get the same. can someone please help to figure this out? thanks Justin

Hello, I have a problem with an image and its code of invisible color. In the IDE, I load a picture and I indicate the color that is invisible (Lemon = 65280) and everything works. But my problem is when I want to load my image in programming then the invisible color does not. The image appears, but the color appears invisible anyway. Here are my lines of code:   RS: = TResourceStream.Create (hInstance, str, RT_RCDATA);    image1.multiResBitmap.TransparentColor: = 65280;    image1.MultiResBitmap.LoadItemFromStream (rs, 1);    rs.Free;   Does someone has an idea?
