JEDI For Delphi XE4 Pending the final JVCL + JCL for Delphi XE4 I made you a compressed file for them. It works very well http://www.kernelofwar.fr/Fichiers/JVCL_XE4.zip Of course it is also compatible with other DELPHI. http://www.kernelofwar.fr/Fichiers/

I am developing an app that does some serial communication through an USB port with an FTDI chip. I am researching if it is possible to port this to FMX and make an OSX version. However, I cannot find any info about the ability to use USB / serial communication with OSX. I use the comport library from  http://comport.sf.net/ . Does anybody know if this will work with OSX?

I've been doing a spot of work with the new Delphi for iOS and written up a bunch of stuff I've found and bumped into and sorted out and worked out.

Marco and JT wrote a nice article for Dr. Dobbs.  Good to see Delphi there. http://www.drdobbs.com/mobile/reference-counting-and-object-harvesting/240155664?pgno=1

Guys, where can I found a good component for bittorrent protocol? (better if it is open source)

Learning more from your debug output In the context Nick Hodges's post on memory usage, here are some tweaks for OutputDebugString which I've been using for a few years to help debug trace live services running in production environment.  The memory consumption code looks like the spitting image of the stackoverflow post, so I probably gleaned it from there, or possibly from  http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/delphiAndcpp2009/HelpUpdate2/EN/html/devcommon/monitormemorymanager_xml.html . or the MemoryManager usage tracker sample: http://sourceforge.net/p/radstudiodemos/code/HEAD/tree/branches/RadStudio_XE4/Delphi/RTL/Usage%20Tracker/MemoryManagerUsageTracker.pas If you peruse the documentation - http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/delphiAndcpp2009/HelpUpdate2/EN/html/devcommon/monitormemorymanager_xml.html and http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE4/en/Monitoring_Memory_Usage also give hints about GetMemoryMap which supposedly helps you track memor...

Evening! I am looking for a good fingerprint verification SDK, I did some tests with Nffv, however it requires me to provide both the username and the fingerprint. I need a SDK where I just pass the fingerprint and it returns the user.

I am just starting out on my first FireMonkey app and was looking for a way to make a memo control have a transparent background. Any ideas? I need to place it over an image and I want to see the image below the text. It will only cover a small part of the image. Thanks, Jim

This, folks, is how you find out how much memory your application is using. http://stackoverflow.com/q/437683/2044?sgp=2

Am I going nuts?   Question:   Will the following leak memory? var     IntArray: array of integer; ...      SetLength(IntArray, 10);      SetLength(IntArray, 20); Or will the second call merely augment the first?

Last year I ran across a very dated looking but free app that had thousands of Delphi code snippets. It was very blue themed too, if that helps.  It wasn't DephiDabbler.  Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where to find it again?

Hello, I have recently thought about the future of Delphi and my personal choice for playing around at home. I would like to compare C# with Delphi. What do you think, are the advantages of Delphi? Honestly, the only advantage that comes into my mind is the fact that C# needs the .Net framework. But this one comes along with every Windows 7 PC, so it's not as bad as it was back in the XP times. What do you think?

Need help - how do I create a set of white push-buttons? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16773270/how-to-simulate-word-2010-style-options-category-selecter

Some people don't seem to understand why visual component prefixes are used.... lmddckpnlSales has advsbtnFilter and lmdfrmdsplySaleEdit on it. If we have to have them can they at least be shorter than the name of the component? Really, I don't care that the button in question is a TMS one, or that it's the "s" variant, I just care that it's a button. And most of the time I care more about what other controls it's with, or what it's for, than I care about what sort of control it is. I'm a fan of the "purpose first" naming so things sort together:   SaleDiscountButton: TAMSFunkyGraphicButton;   SaleDiscountPercentageEdit: TJEDIPercentNumericEdit;   SaleDiscountFixedAmountEdit: TFredsFunControlsCurrencyEdit;   SaleDiscountDescriptionEdit: TOverdesignedEditControl; That way when you see SaleDiscountDescriptionEditOnMenuPopup(nil); in code you're not in any doubt as to what it is, and you can probably guess what the method does. But advgr...

I am looking in to automating the IDE to attach to a process for  debugging purpose but I am unable to figure it out. I am using Delphi  XE, so this page is relevant http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE/en/IDE_Command_Line_Switches_and_Options I have tried "bds -attach: " but that doesn't seem to work :( Any pointers in the right direction would be great! http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE/en/IDE_Command_Line_Switches_and_Options

I have a problem with Indy (in XE). If i make a download with TIdHTTP in standalone application, all is okay. But if i try same code in Delphi Wizard/Expert  (in .bpl) running in Delphi, i have a problem - it doesn't even try to connect to the server (i check access log). The error code is "connection closed gracefully". Any ideas why same code have different behaviour running standalone or in Delphi environment (as the wizard/expert) ?
