Será que alguém poderia me ajudar, estou precisando imprimir etiqueta em uma impressora matricial, não sei nem por onde começar, alguém me dar uma ajuda, estou usando um campo do banco de dados longtext, e gostaria de utilizar os dados deste campo como etiqueta. Gostaria de saber como configurar a etiqueta PIMACO própria para formulário continuo. Estou usando Delphi 7 e QReport.

Originally shared by Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) A new test release of my dzDebugVisualizers for Delphi 2005, 2006 and 2007 is available.

I'm looking for a Delphi API for Amazon Polly. Does anybody know of something that already supports it? If not, would anybody like to build one for me for a reasonable fee? I only need support for DescribeVoices and SynthesizeSpeech at this time, but the other handful of APIs probably wouldn't be hard to build either. I've been messing with some examples for other AWS APIs, and I've not had much luck with the authentication part. Actually, I'd be happy with a working Delphi translation of the Python example at the link below for either of these two APIs. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/sigv4-signed-request-examples.html

Hello everybody :) i am a simple delphi6 user, trying to build some applications to run on cnc lathes; cnc lathes have windows at this moment, i put shortcuts into win+startup menu, so applications are starting and all is ok; but i would like to have a start up behaviour from code this is what i have used : procedure SetAutoStart(AppName, AppTitle: string; bRegister: Boolean); const RegKey = '\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run'; // Run or RunOnce var Registry: TRegistry; begin Registry := TRegistry.Create; try Registry.RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE; if Registry.OpenKey(RegKey, False) then begin if bRegister = False then Registry.DeleteValue(AppTitle) else Registry.WriteString(AppTitle, AppName); end; finally Registry.Free; end; end; this code creates the key inside the HKLM, but at start-up, i receive an error the error is the same on all 3 computers ( my PC + 2 lathes ) i hav

The linked page documents the Display Format Specifiers for expressions in the Evaluate / Modify dialog of the Delphi IDE. S and C seem to do the same: Display as string and use the #$xx representation for control characters. Is there any difference between using S and C? In my tests, I could not find one. D is for decimal. H or X is for hexadecimal. I could have sworn that it is possible to specify a minimum length for hexadecimal, so "5,H4" would be displayed as "$0005", but it doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something? Fn is for floating point where n specifies the number of significant digits. Which, to say the truth, was new to me. It works fine for "1.23456789,F5" displaying "1.2346", but unfortunately does not display "1.00000000,F5" as "1.0000". Also, it does not display "0.00000000001,F2" as "0.0" but insists on the E notation which makes it pretty useless in my opinion, because the E notati

I don't mean to Whine but, if WINE is mature enough, why doesn't EMBT officially test and support WINE for development on Mac OS/X and Linux for developers who target those platforms and mobile devices? Do they not realize the importance of a X platform IDE?

What should AnsiDequotedStr(s, #39) return for the following ansi string: 'bla 'blub'' ? Note that the string starts with a single quote and ends with two single quotes. These Quotes are part of the string's contents. (Assigned in code as s := #39'bla '#39'blub'#39#39;) #39 is the sinqle quote character. I would have expected something like >bla 'blub'< or possibly >bla blub< But the actual result is >bla <. So, apparently the second ' is interpreted as the end of the string.

This program: {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} uses System.SysUtils; type TRec1 = record X1: NativeInt; end; TRec2 = record X1: NativeInt; X2: NativeInt; end; function GetRec1: TRec1; begin Result.X1 := 1; raise Exception.Create(''); end; function GetRec2: TRec2; begin Result.X1 := 1; raise Exception.Create(''); end; procedure Main; var Rec1: TRec1; Rec2: TRec2; begin Rec1 := Default(TRec1); Writeln(Rec1.X1); try Rec1 := GetRec1; except end; Writeln(Rec1.X1); Rec2 := Default(TRec2); Writeln(Rec2.X1); try Rec2 := GetRec2; except end; Writeln(Rec2.X1); end; begin Main; Readln; end. Outputs 0 0 0 1 It's kinda lame that assignments of function return values can happen when the function raises an exception. It happens because large return types are not returned by value, rather they are handled as implicit var parameters. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46466691/delphi-tokyo-exception-prevents-setting-function-r

Has anyone an idea why FastMM's FullDebugMode takes hours to end an application? I'm working in a huge project. After spending a lot of time I've managed to get the application run in FullDebugMode. When I close the application immedtiately after the start I get a detailed memory leak report file including stack traces. But when I work with the application (performing REST requests, parsing huge JSON strings, creating and destroying many objects etc.) the FullDebugMode takes at least several hours before the application will terminate. Has anyone seen this happen before? Is there a way to solve it?

Delphi Tokyo crash when debugging on macOS... I still have to use Delphi Berlin when debugging on macOS because in Tokyo (10.2 update 1), any breakpoint will crash the IDE. It does stop at the breakpoint, but immediately after I get a "Debugger Exception Notification ... AV at address 00000000", which freezes the Delphi IDE. Only way out is to use "End Process" in Task Manager. It works fine with a new empty app, so I suppose it is related to having several threads running in my main app. The exact same code debugs fine in Delphi Berlin. Anyone else having experience with debugging on macOS using Tokyo? (I use macOS 10.12.6 and XCode 9.0)

I recently installed Delphi Tokyo 10.2.1 Ent. Ed. into a VirtualBox VM with Windows 7. I'm playing around with a fairly simple project, and when I compile it I'm getting the red dots on the left of the line numbers on the wrong lines in the main form unit. They all appear to be shifted down by one. It makes it hard to debug, to say the least. Any idea what the problem might be or how to fix it?

Hello, everybody! I need to put an image into an FMX form, of a desktop application. I've seen that I have at least three options: TImage, TImageViewer and TImageControl The Image I need to put is a PNG file of 512x512 pixels with a relatively low quality. My ask is for people that have experimented with this controls. I've seen the help pages, of course, I've searched on Internet, of course, and I've seen things like his inheritance: TControl -> TStyledControl -> TCustomScrollBox -> TImageViewer TControl -> TSyledControl -> TImageControl TControl -> TImage What control, based on your experience, is better for this applying and why? Thank's to all in advance.

In the Print function built into the Delphi IDE, is there any way to adjust the print page margins? I like to print listings double-sided in landscape, then either staple them at the top or 3-hole punch or something. Landscape seems to leave barely one line height as the margin, and there are times when I'd like more than that.

The localization of FMX and VCL projects is something that I really need at work and so far we've been using DKLang (but we don't really like it...). I have seen that here there are already topics about localization tools but I'd like to ask something different. I need a component that is able to localize some strings that I input and it must work on FMX and VCL. I want to write one by my own so I can customize it and also we won't have to pay the expensive tools I can find online (not saying that they aren't good, but If I can get a solution for free by myself that's better :) ). I already know how to create components and stuff. My question is: how should a localization component work to be efficient? I don't need to change the language at runtime. I just need to input in my component a string, have the different translations and then (once the program opens) load the strings in the correct language. Everything VERY easy. I would create a component that us

After having looked at most of the major translation tools for Delphi, the conclusion is: - They all suck in different ways - Those with visual tools, crash in different ways - They are not really VCS friendly at all - Team support is mostly not present - Documentation is either near non-existent, incomplete, or outdated - Prices go from "free", to affordable to ridiculously expensive There seems there is no bleeding edge tool here - only a lot of blood, sweat and tears - for the user of the tool.

FireDAC on iOS Hi I'm using loads of TFDQuerys in an iOS application using SQLite. I have a global connection object they all use. I'm suffering random crashes in the app (particularly on iPad Mini 3) that seem to related to my db accesses. I'm using the usual desktop pattern.. aQuery := TFDQuery.Create(nil); try aQuery.Connection := MyGlobalConnection; aQuery.SQL.Text := '...'; aQuery.Active := true; // do things finally aQuery.Free; end; I've single stepped in to the 'Free' call, and the reference count doesn't seem to reduce to 0. It's mostly this that's making me wonder about a leak. I've tried calling Close before the free and that appears to make no difference. Any suggestions on what's going on? Cheers

Status: Windows 10 Creators Update 17 Oct 2017 & Older Delphi Versions? RSP-17972 was a show stopper to migrate our development to Windows 10 Creator Update. We are aware of the Tokyo patch http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/2017-august-creators-update-loading-tokyo-release-1.html But for us the most important question is: Does "Windows 10 Creators Update 17 October 2017" solve the problems for the older Delphi versions properly. I have not found any final statement provided by EMBT that say "yes - all is fine for the older Delphi (Development and Runtime) after applying the October 17 update". Does anybody knows more or have used the RTM of the October 17 update?

Does anybody have any experience building interfaces for Amazon AWS services based on the classes included with Delphi (Tokyo 10.2.1 Ent)? I've been going through Pawel's CodeRage X video and I find the part around authentication quite unclear. The Delphi classes use V 2 of the auth services by default, while virtually all of them use V 4 (and have for a while). The fields it uses don't seem to align with those in Amazon's docs. I need to interface with one of the less-used services (Polly), and the only examples I've found are for S3 and what Pawel discusses. His presentation is great, but I've replayed the 2nd half several times and there's stuff that just isn't connecting for me.

Delphi IDE command line question -- in much older versions of the IDE, you could put -np on the shortcut to launch the IDE in order to suppress loading a project. I notice that on 10.2 it not just suppresses loading a project, but also suppresses the Welcome page. There used to be a ton of command line switches on the IDE, now there are just a few. How do I tell it to just open the IDE to the Welcome page and not load the previous project?

A foreword === Hello everybody, the two major things that were recently introduced into my software architecture which led to significantly better maintainability and modularity, are *Dependency Inversion* (via https://bitbucket.org/sglienke/spring4d ) and *Eventbus* (via https://github.com/spinettaro/delphi-event-bus ). And most recently, what caught my attention is the idea behind Redux - one of the most popular idea and framework in the JavaScript front-end development world lately. The problem === The *problem* Redux trying to solve can be described in short as: "...At some point, you no longer understand what happens in your app as you have lost control over the when, why, and how of its state (model)...". For example, assume in an application we have a model called TOrder, the issue is that, although the functionalities to manipulate TOrder can be encapsulated in TOrderManager, it's often that we might call TOrderManagr in Module A, B, C and D. Redux's solut

So, who currently owns Delphi / RAD Studio, the name, history and viability of the CEO, and so on and so forth is something i feel i should not have to spend mental capacity on. But so so many times typing on this keyboard i have to type the current name. Em.. Id.. Bor... ?? !!. Inprice? No... bummer. So i hereby suggest that whatever venture/vulture capitalist making good or bad out of "our" legacy should be addressable by one single eternal name. My personal suggestion is "Borcogembidera"! But, alas! it's flawed!! EFAFF: Interface fails to implement the 'eternal' property.

Now +/- 4 seconds Hello, I'm using the function below to fill a SOAP request that requires a IssueInstant timestamp...from time to time, the server return a SOAP fault telling that the timestamp is up to 4 seconds in the futur... Is there anything wrong in my code ? function NowUTC: TDateTime; var Time: SYSTEMTIME; begin GetSystemTime(Time); Result := SystemTimeToDateTime(Time); end; function XmlNow: UTF8String; begin Result := UTF8Encode(FormatDateTime('yyyy-mm-dd"T"hh:nn:ss"Z"', NowUTC)); end; my PC is Windows 7 under VirtualBox and the clock seems right.

I was wondering if anyone had a solution to add MS Office plugins/extensions that could be accessed from FMX ?

Hello, Why do TEncoding strickly protect those very usefull methods ? strict protected function GetByteCount(Chars: PChar; CharCount: Integer): Integer; overload; virtual; abstract; function GetBytes(Chars: PChar; CharCount: Integer; Bytes: PByte; ByteCount: Integer): Integer; overload; virtual; abstract; function GetCharCount(Bytes: PByte; ByteCount: Integer): Integer; overload; virtual; abstract; they could be used with any kind a memory data (TBytes, TMemoryStream, TWhatEver)...but the only available methods uses TBytes or Array of Byte.

Advantage Server Delphi Components for Server Version 11.0 I have installed Advantage Server 11.0. Only this version is allowed for the project. Task is to develop an 64-bit application working with the server using Delphi XE7. Problem is very strange, have never met such one. Advantage Developer Zone provides me components with version 11.10. They are good compiled with Delphi XE7 but then the application can not connect to the server. Exception Message is: The Advantage server version is older than the Advantage client version. The Advantage server must be the same version or newer than the Advantage client. Lower available version of components is 10.1 and not compartible with XE7. Do you know a way to download components with version 11.0? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46222732/advantage-server-delphi-components-for-server-version-11-0

We have acouple of SOAP-Services here (running in IIS as dll's in a application pool). I am wondering if i should continue using "Ansistring" as data type for TRemotable class and for parameters in functions/procedures. Or should i change to "string"? If i let the assistant in the ide create a new soap service project, then it still uses "Ansistring". So i am unsure what type i should use. I tought that all the internet stuff are UTF8 so best would be to use "string" in soap services. https://community.embarcadero.com/forum/enterprise/6537-soap-service-string-vs-ansistring-xe10-2 https://community.embarcadero.com/forum/enterprise/6537-soap-service-string-vs-ansistring-xe10-2

Update : It's more complicated than I realised. The compiler will only skip evaluation of arguments if it is sure that there can be no side effects. For instance, for a direct memory read. If the argument invokes a function then it will be evaluated. So I have created a storm in error. This post is a lot of FUD. Sorry. --------- Inline functions are not guaranteed to evaluate their arguments exactly once. This means that the compiler's choice on whether or not to inline a function can change the observable behaviour. X := IfThen(b, funcWithSideEffect1, funcWithSideEffect2) Only one of the side effects will be performed if the function is inlined. If the compiler doesn't inline then both are performed. I consider this a defect of design. Has inlining in Delphi always been this way? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46220994/ifthenassignedwidget-widget-description-no-widget-doesnt-crash-should

Thank You Andreas Hausladen for Idefixpack 10.2, I was able to install it in 10.2 Update 1. Only three Messageboxes with warnings on starting delphi: Not all Compiler Speed Pack x86 patches were applied. Failed patches: failed : Compiler optimizations (UnitFreeAll) [Compiler.UnitFreeAll] Rest is working good and now my IDE is fast again reacts super fast!

Help me to restore my Documentation Insight - IIRC XE4 is shipped with a so-called Express edition of Doc Insight, and I should have uninstalled it sometime ago due to an IDE glitch I experienced (I wasn't able to enter space at all in any of the IDE windows). And now that the glitch has gone, so I want to re-enable doc insight express. I should have removed it via Components -> Install Packages, not just unchecked but did remove it from the list. So do you know what's the name of the .BPL file, I need to re-install it back. Thanks.

"Greetings programs!" ( Tron, 1982 ) and Happy Day, now and ever. Quote: The Day of the Programmer is an international professional day that is celebrated on the 256th (hexadecimal 100th, or the 28th) day of each year (September 13 during common years and on September 12 in leap years). The number 256 (28) was chosen because it is the number of distinct values that can be represented with an eight-bit byte, a value well-known to programmers.[3] 256 is also the highest power of two that is less than 365, the number of days in a common year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Programmer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Programmer

I have to localize a project that I have made at work and also I'd like to localize two android apps (just for me). I was looking for something that was free and I have found gnugettext for Delphi. After some researches I came here ( http://developers-club.com/posts/264693/ ) and I have seen that there is an updated version of the gnugettext.pas! In fact it has the {$ifdef VER320} which is Tokyo. I am going to use this since it seems pretty easy to use and I guess I have found a recent update in that post. Have you experience with this tool? Where did you look for it (a recent version)? I have seen a similar post here about TsiLang, Sisulizer and others but if I want to use them (for work and myself) I have to pay. Note that I am looking for something that allows me to translate buttons, labels, strings and other basic VCL/FMX component. My program is basically a REST client with labels and buttons, so I really need something "easy"

What is the best way make my Android Service sleep? while Count < FWaitTime do begin Sleep(1000); Inc(Count); end; Or a unique Sleep(FWaitTime)? Consider that FWaitTime should wait for some minutes (from 1' up to 3') and meanwhile it has a GPS location update active. I've noticed that my app is consuming a lot of CPU, sometimes, and sometimes it gets Idle state.

Has anyone some experience with RemObjects? In particular does it scale well and can it be used from WEB apps (JavaScript). The guys who want to use it don't want to consider RESTful services and are currently intending on implementing stateful objects

How does GetIt Package Manager handle updates to packages? There are a few packages that I use that are available on both GitHub and GetIt. I haven't used GetIt much, so I'm not sure how/if it handles getting updates to packages. GetIt is convenient, but if its packages aren't up-to-date, I'll continue to use Git and just update things myself.

FMX / TTabControl I have a rather simple problem (that I can reproduce on Win and Android platforms). I don't know how to always apply a transition when switching from one tab item to another one. User can change tab by either - Using left or right keys. TTabControl.Next or TTabControl.Previous are called in the OnkeyUp handler. Tab is changed with a transition. or - Tapping (or clicking) on the desired tab, in this case no code is used. Tab is automatically changed without any transition. Does anyone know how to get a consistent behavior ?

FireDAC problem with MSSQL Folks We have an issue using FireDAC on Microsoft SQL Server 2016, in that we have a case sensitive ( not the insensitive default ) server and database and when we setup our .Params on our FDConnection and then call Connected := True we get an exception: Invalid object name SYS.SYSDATABASES Which, we assume is because our SYS.SYSDATABASES is actually sys.sysdatabases. Surely, there is a way to override this somehow. Has anyone ( Marco Cantù, Team B ) experienced this and know of a good solution or work around? Thanks

Okay... The D-Day is getting seriously close! Just about three weeks until the release date! :) http://sites.fastspring.com/epixeditions/product/delphimm Here's a little, sort of, off-topic, but not really, question for you. 1.

I am all of the sudden getting a "Debugger Fault Notification, system exception..." error message when I close the application and returns to the IDE (Delphi 2010). The strange thing is that I have stepped through the code right to where the application actually exists without any errors, so this happens only once returning to the IDE. I also tried to checkout a couple of older versions but the same error occurs now even with those versions too. The CPU window stops on: ntdll.RtlEnterCriticalSection: ... 775BB2E3 F00FBA3000 lock btr dword ptr [eax],$00 Any ideas?
