Anyone having trouble with Windows 10 latest update (build 1709)? Since that, Delphi won't run at all: no splash screen, no error, nothing. Tried new registry settings, disabling every addon, andy's ide fix, even a full uninstall/reinstall Both with Delphi 2010 and Delphi 10 Seattle Toughts?

I am getting an odd exception: Cannot create WIC Imaging Factory object for 'TCustomBitmapCodecWIC'. This is occuring on Windows 2003 server with code that is built with 10-Seattle and seems to run perfectly fine everywhere else. Nothing weird... In a nutshell, I'm just trying to load the application's icon from the exe to an image on the application's splash screen. This is what it is running and it is choking on the Bitmap.LoadFromStream() call: var icon: TIcon; Stream: TMemoryStream; begin icon := TIcon.Create; icon.LoadFromResourceName(HInstance, 'MAINICON'); if icon.Handle = 0 then begin Exit; end; Stream := TMemoryStream.Create; icon.SaveToStream(Stream); Stream.Position := 0; imgAbout.Bitmap.LoadFromStream(Stream); icon.Free; Stream.Free; end;

I'm trying to fully understand what Martin explains in his discussion of encapsulation . He uses the C and C++ languages in his discussion. Because I do not have a background in C/C++ I'm finding it difficult to understand what he is explaining. I assume that Delphi also breaks perfect encapsulation according to Martin's explanation. I would very much appreciate some help it trying to understand what Martin is talking about. Especially within the context of how Delphi breaks perfect encapsulation. Clean Architecture pages 34-37 (C) Robert Martin Encapsulation? The reason encapsulation is sited as part of the definition of OO is that OO languages provide easy easy and effective encapsulation of data and function. As a result, a line can be drawn around a cohesive set of data and functions. Outside of that line, the data is hidden and only some of the functions are known. We see this concept in action as the private data members and the public member functions of a class. Th...

Muy interesante... Game developement with Delphi

Few months ago, I've started a new blog about game programming with Delphi Firemonkey. It's in Spanish and I try to explain how to design and programmings games step by step. This week I've started a new video series about Firemonkey programming showing how to programming a game. https://jugandocondelphi.blogspot.com.es/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1L4H7c-gxA&list=PLyeWl1NOoFSyQBysP6Bcf5Uf0H1qi33lv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1L4H7c-gxA&list=PLyeWl1NOoFSyQBysP6Bcf5Uf0H1qi33lv

I'm using Delphi Tokyo 10.2 with Sybase SQLAnywhere 11 and / or 16. I've put a dbExpress TSQLConnection onto a VCL Form and can connect successfully to the database at design time. When I run the application, it gives the following error: --------------------------- Debugger Exception Notification --------------------------- Project Project3.exe raised exception class TDBXError with message 'Cannot load dbodbc*.dll library (error code 126). The dbodbc*.dll library may be missing from the system path or you may have an incompatible version of the library installed'. dbodbc11.dll and dbodbc16.dll are in SysWow64. I've tried using regsvr32 for both and tried removing all of them and copying them and registering them one by one. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try to connect successfully at runtime?

Hello Everybody, I have an application developed in XE2 (Hot Fix 2 + IDE Fix Pack installed) that has started giving me the "out of memory" error message therefore I have to fix this in order to progress. I Googled it and made sure my swap file is big enough but no joy. I have found some suggestion saying I should rename some .DLLs but I want to keep this as last resort. In the end I found this article http://support.embarcadero.com/article/44279 suggesting I should compile via MSBuild. I also found this questions https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8068481/how-to-build-using-msbuild-and-delphi-xe2 that helps me a bit but I don't understand if I can run this inside the IDE and how to do it or if I have to run from "DOS windows". One last question. If I compile and run the application via MSBuild do I still have all the debug facilities in the IDE ? Sorry for the multiple questions but this is something very new to me. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8068...

Hi All! First Edition of the Delphi Memory Management for Classic and ARC Compilers is officially released... 🎉🎇✨ Err... WAS released like two weeks ago! Sorry, it was hectic here so I forgot to announce it publicly 😊 Anyway, it's a bit longer than expected. From a planned 150 pages it grew up to the 326 (A4 format), but I guess you won't mind that.

Has anyone implemented the JSON-RPC protocol (2.0) on top of the DataSnap REST server?

We've got a project with a couple hundred units and forms, and we want to start using GIT for version control. I know that the latest Delphi can connect directly to GIT. The company here actually has a white-label hosted GitLab server attached to their main domain name. What I'm wondering is if anybody has any suggestions or can point to tutorials or a white-paper of some sort that discusses how to go about migrating an existing project to GIT? Everything I've seen talks about setting up a new project from scratch. Also nothing I've seen is Delphi specific, so I'm not sure what files we want to grab and which ones we don't.

[github pull request merged] The constants editor in DKLang (the best localization package IMHO) has the feature to *search* for constant names and values now. The code was quickly written, but this would significantly improve your productivity if you *have hundreds* of constants in your project. I wish the original author would accept my pull request since I don't want to modify the source file every time the package is upgraded. PS, DKLang is great. PS 2: In order to make this github pull request, today I have spent hours, at the end the GitKraken software was my chosen tool, since it's easy for a TortoiseSVN user like me (you still need to know some git concepts though). https://github.com/yktoo/dklang/pull/19

Imagine you've got a fairly typical client-server app built in Delphi that's connecting to pretty much any SQL-based back-end server using whatever DB connection and adapters (eg., ADOConnection and ADOQuery). Now, suppose you're asked to get rid of the direct server connection and adapters, and replace them with a REST-based API. Under what conditions would this make sense (or not)? Are there any videos or case studies that address such an architectural refactoring? In general, are the tools available today (in the Delphi world, at least) of sufficient "quality" or "maturity" or whatever that such an approach would make sense to employ on a regular basis? (It's a given that you'd probably need to add a service to sit between the API and the DB. I guess I'm asking if it's "easy enough" or "simple enough" to manage the additional layering in the presence of typical table maintenance activities like adding fields, tables...

I built a DelphiAST -> source engine. Feel free to check it out at: https://github.com/JBontes/DelphiAST_Source . It does not add any new syntax, yet, but it does take every file I've tried and reproduces the original source code from the abstract syntax tree. Feel free to report any files that do not get processed correctly, I'll post any fixes needed to Roman Yankovsky DelphiAST project. The fixes used to get to this point have already been submitted there. I have not released the source code yet, because I plan to make an IDE extension that expands the Object Pascal language. A few simple constructs like a += 1; already work (in my test version, which is a bit more advanced) and a few more, like operator overloading for interfaces, still need some work on the symbol table engine. https://github.com/JBontes/DelphiAST_Source

A Singleton in Delphi Tokyo I have some code that appears to have stopped working. We have had every version from XE7 right up until Tokyo and I have a singleton in there for doing Debugging to Log files...... For IPR reason I cannot include the source code, but safe to say I used the pattern described in: http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/22576 However, we made a few mods, so: var debugger: TuexDebugLogger = nil; debuggerRefCount: Integer = 0; {* **************************************************************************** * Class : TuexDebugLogger * Function : NewInstance * Arguments : None * Action : Overriden NewInstance for singleton * Returns : An object pointer *******************************************************************************} class function TuexDebugLogger.NewInstance: TObject; begin if debugger nil then begin Result := debugger; end else begin Result := inherited NewInstance; end; Inc( debuggerRefCount ); end; {***********...

Hi! Anyone here with an "F2092 Program or unit '?' recursively uses itself" error in Tokyo? I have this error in Tokyo but the same project compiles ok in Berlin. Is this some issue with Tokyo only? Can't find the problem in my project files. Thanks.

Zombies took over my IDE. All of the sudden and without compiling or building the project, I get an internal error (F2084) in a unit I haven't opened for some time. The strange thing is that the project compiles and builds without any internal errors. Git shows that the IDE adds a blank line in the end. I saved the unit, put some code to move the end line further down, restarted the IDE but nothing works. Anyone any ideas? It is become annoying as I am typing the IDE takes me to the other unit every 3 minutes now.

I updated My Delphi 10.1 Berlin to update 2 and am now finding that on exiting the IDE I see an invalid pointer operation with no ability to identify what is causing it. Does the IDE maintain a log anywhere? I imagine it is a bpl causing it, but would prefer to track it down without having to progressively enable and disable the various components I am using.

I try use PPL and ITask, but I get strange things.

Hello! At what time does a TPersistent object (at runtime) receive the data assigned to it through the Object Inspector? Is there an event for this? Thank you.

Hi, For years, when I hover the mouse cursor above a component in the component toolbar (I use the classic undocked editor setting with components on the horizontal toolbar) I never get any tooltip showing me the name of the component if a project is open. I have them only when there is no open or a blank project. Any one with the same problem? Or better, a way to fix this? Sometimes it's convenient to know which component you're going to click instead of going through the search field Thanks for any help.

Anyone know of a Delphi db component set that has support for SAP HANA 2.0+?

I'm on Delphi Professional 10.2 update 1. Code completion (Ctrl+Space) does not work any more in my project (mouse just show busy cursor and that's it). When I clean the project, it works, but after first recompile is stops working. Any fix for this?

Will we ever see class operators on classes in Delphi? So far only records can have them! I know that iOS can have them but will the next update bring them?? Or at least has someone discussed about it?

BrintToFront SetWindowPos doesn't work at all @ Delphi 10.2 Tokyo. I used to write a code in FormKeyUp event SetWindowPos(Form1.Handle, HWND_TOP, Form1.Left, Form1.Top, Form1.Width, Form1.Height, SWP_SHOWWINDOW); ================================================== Thank you for everyone help me by reply. I think I was wrong that I didn't make it clear the question above. I was trying to make 2 forms and would like to popup main form when click F10 key on sub form. actually I was trying same situation at Delphi 7, Delphi 10.1 and Delphi 10.2. so that I have seen it works at 7 and 10.1 but 10.2 didn't. anyway I have solved this question after delete some code in dpr file. Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True; After delete it, it works well. thank you for all anyway.

Does anyone know if the TMS Flexcel trial allows you to compile an EXE and have it run on a machine without Delphi? We have a client that has issues with running the Excel automation object (they've screwed around with his virtual machine -- don't ask). Our current code uses the automation object to read XLSX files. However some machines have two versions of EXCEL loaded (again , don't ask), and depending on which one is loaded last, it can't read XLSX files (just XLS). Anyhow, I wanted to prove that the Flexcel components would work on his machine before we buy a site license
