I'm trying to migrate my components from D2010 to DXE3. I organized my components folder like this:     Source folder     Packages folder     D14 folder (dcu's for D2010)     D17 folder (dcu's for DXE3 32bit)      What folder would be a good place to put dcu's for DXE3 64 bit?

Hello! Let's see if I can start a flame... heeheh :) http://www.utf8everywhere.org/ Wanna give it a go? :) A http://www.utf8everywhere.org/

I'm starting to believe that my predecessor doesn't exactly know what he was doing...  function ReadFromDatabase(P_1, P_2: integer) : boolean; var   Query: TQuery; begin   Result := false;   Query := getQuery();      if ( Query = nil ) then     exit;   try     Query.ParamByName('P_01').AsCurrency := P_1;     Query.ParamByName('P_02').AsCurrency := P_2;     Query.Open();     Query.First();     Result := true;   finally    if ( Query nil ) then     begin       Query.Close();       Query.Free();     end;   end; end;

Is there a way to enable antialiasing in FMX under GDI+ besides downscaling of prerendered bitmap?

A bit of bitterness (Off topic) This community seems to have several experienced developers from all around the world, and I would like to have opinions about this. I'm an experienced developer, more than 15 years of professional activity mainly in programming (not counting the early ages with Amstrad, Atari, Amiga ...). I've seen several environments and languages : Linux, Windows ;  VB6, VB.NET , C#, Python, and now Delphi.   Would I advice anyone, with a passion in programming, to do my job ?  the answer is of course : NO Why ? Because if you love programming, your skills will  never been paid what they worth. You want to earn money ? Become consultant, commercial, anything but : don't put your fingers in the code. My impressions are : most of the companies hire young developers , hoping them to make shiny programs made like sh*t  to give to their customers. No matter it's crappy inside : you must sell, quicklu, and after all, what's the duration of a software in...

Anyone know the substitute for FindBinding in XE3 "(Item.FindBinding('select') as TButton).Tag:= 1" The code above only works in XE2 Thanks

OK, I would like to learn the relationship among DSharp, Spring4D, and any other projects which may be related. And especially, is the future plan for them to work together, or does Spring4D become the ultimate single framework? Given limited time for study, inquiring minds would like to know...

Hi, I'm just curios if there any TWebBrowser-like control for FireMonkey2?

Q. I am using Tibquery and want to store its result to a clientdataset without using dataset provider  Any thoughts on this..?

Has anyone come across the issue of calling WinApi.MMSystem.PlaySound returning false with an error code of 0?  It works fine in the context of a simple application, but fails in a much larger application.

Does anyone know how to make tfrxMemoview height increase automatically  (stretch) base on it's content. i put a tfrxMemoview  inside a databand, i set the stretch property of databand to true and tfrxMemoview  stretch mode to  smMaxHeight but it doesn't give me the expected result.... thanks

How do you prefer to store application settings? Which component/library do you prefer for this task? Using TRegistry seems to be not optimal for me

Anybody have any opinions about a good book on Firemonkey?

MailMerge adventures, continued... OK, I have concluded that any path but using the components statically installed on a form or frame is more pain than it is worth. So as to my previous post, never mind!

OT: Can anyone do me a favour and check, whether my domain ddobjects.de is available? I moved to a new hoster last weekend and although everything seems to be fine, there are no downloads or anything else. Looks as if it still resolves to the old host?! Thank you!

is anyone here using tms grid ? i need to get the previous (old) value of a cell  on event on validate cell. how can i get it. because i need to make comparison between the old value and the new value.  Here is the on validatecell event procedure  procedure TfrmKasirUmum.grdMenuCellValidate(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;   var Value: string; var Valid: Boolean); begin //  end; if i give the valid parameter to false, the new cell value will be revert back to the old value. i certainly believe there is a way to get the old value. but i don't know how. so please help me.... thanks in advance

Enum declaration with subrange bounds violation? type   {$MINENUMSIZE 2}   TMyEnum2 = (     Enum11 = 1,     Enum12 = 2,     Enum13 = 3,     Enum1Mid1 = $7fff,  // No warning     Enum1Mid2 = $8000,  // No warning     Enum1Max  = $ffff); // No warning   {$MINENUMSIZE 4}   TMyEnum4 = (     Enum21 = 1,     Enum22 = 2,     Enum23 = 3,     Enum2Mid1 = $7fffffff,  // No warning     Enum2Mid2 = $80000000,  // Warning     Enum2Max  = $ffffffff); // Warning The two last entries in the second type declaration above, gives a warning: W1012 Constant expression violates subrange bounds. Any known QC issue or workaround for this? Any reason that the enum can't use the most signficant bit in a 4 byte size enum?

At the "Delphi Porte Aperte" (Jan 30, 2013 Padova, ITALY) I'll show this classic jQuery+REST demo ( http://coenraets.org/blog/2011/12/restful-services-with-jquery-php-and-the-slim-framework/ ) converted to #HTML5Builder. Nice comparison. http://coenraets.org/blog/2011/12/restful-services-with-jquery-php-and-the-slim-framework/

Would anybody have a link to a list of Delphi user groups? Having googled a bit, only found mentions of individual groups so far.

This tutorial shows how you can have a Microsoft Office (Word, Excel,…) call your Delphi application. For the demonstration, I will use Word. From Word, a macro will call my Delphi application which will prompt the user for some data which will be inserted in the Word document. http://francois-piette.blogspot.be/2013/01/microsoft-word-or-excel-calls-delphi.html http://francois-piette.blogspot.be/2013/01/microsoft-word-or-excel-calls-delphi.html
