Free #TeeChart update for RAD XE5, just released: http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/29708

I'm working on a port to Delphi from Visual Foxpro 9.0, anyone knows about a good converter for forms? I tried scx2dfm 1.5, but some forms didn't make it, not to mention that all the code is lost in translation. What I need is something that at least puts code as comments (there are 300+ forms in the original code)

Hello, Given :  Type   TMyObject = Class(TInterfacedObject, IComparable)   Public     Name   : String;     Value: LongInt;     Function CompareTo(Obj: TObject): Integer;   End;   ... Function TMyObject.CompareTo(Obj: TObject): Integer;  Var   ObjComp: TMyObject;  Begin   ObjComp := Obj As TMyObject;   result := self.Value - obj.Value; End; The CompareTo  method is not used when TList .Sort()  is called. A strange sort (binary , I supposed) is done by default. So what is the IComparable interface for ????? And how do I use my nice CompareTo method ?

Can we please get the compiler generate W1035 (Return value of function might be undefined) for managed data types also? While I understand why this is not happening atm (internal handling of Result as var/out parameter) it would be very useful and prevent errors. Code like this would show an error and avoid wrong data: function Foo(list: TStringList): string; var   s: string; begin   for s in list do     Result := Result + s; end; Currently it does not show any warning and might have an unexpected result depending on what was inside the variable the function result is assigned to.

Delphi Jobs: I'm in the Seattle area and use Craigslist on some daily searches.

After a long odyssey I finally found a solution for fixing a problem in our Delphi project that caused from time to time some unexpected and hard to trace crashes during the startup phase of our software on a Terminal Server (in a RDP session). The software crashed about 1 out of 20 starts and it took us almost 2 years to understand and find the source of the problem. Keeping this story short ... The final solution was to add the following line to the dpr files in our project: {$SETPEOPTFLAGS IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_TERMINAL_SERVER_AWARE} As I understand this case: If this flag is missing, the terminal server produces some "hick ups" in the initialization process of a program within a RDP session due to some mix up of DLL initialization that happens only during a RDP session. My question is now: Is there any good reason NOT to add this line to any project? What are the possible side effects? Via Google I found only sources explaining how to add this /TSAWARE flag to a Delphi...

Hi Group, since we use XE2 we have the problem, that from time to time a modal form is behind the main window (from start or while using). This happens in programs but also in the ide. You can get that window in front with the windows-tab key. Do anyone else have that issue. Or a solution for that? Best regards Bernd

Hi Group, I am using Delphi 7 with Interbase 7.5. I run a query and result set of query contains a Blob filed ,which is shown as (MEMO) in result set of query. I want to see the exact text of this Blob field, I tried Interbase CAST operator but all is vain. Any help would be greatful.

I'm suffering with slow VCL TPageControl on application resize under XE5 and was wondering if anyone had some ideas on how one could improve speed? There are a number of TabSheets which all have there own TPanel layouts which need to get resized proportionally.

Anyone know where I can download Borland Developer Studio 2006?

Help! In D2007, suddenly the Ctrl-Shift-Up and Ctrl-Shift-Dn keys stopped working. But it seems only in some files, so I assume a syntax issue. However, the project builds without errors. Any suggestions?

We have a client that connects to a soap server (all in Delphi). The problem is that one of our users uses a proxy based on NTLM. We can connect to the outside world using TSslHttpCli, but can't see how to initiate the proxy authorisation using RIO. Any ideas?

Guess what's missing

Why don't Embarcadero add NuGet feature to Rad Studio like in Visual Studio? Wouldn't be it good?

Hi everyone! Recently I stumble upon an interesting issue in Delphi when I wanted to limit amount of RTTI generated for my controller classes and I wanted to know whether some of you have similar issues, know how to fix them (maybe in some other way, see below) or have an explanation why this happens in the first place. Here is what happened: In a unit where I declare base class for my controllers I switched off all extended RTTI (using $RTTI directive) this should limit RTTI generated for all of the descendants (ie. the actual controllers) right? But what really happened was that not only my controllers didn't have RTTI but even my model classes were striped off any RTTI as well. The model classes are defined in different unit and share no common ancestry with the controllers and since $RTTI should have local scope this should'n really happen. The weird thing here is that if I put the $RTTI directive into other unit limiting only a handful of the controllers this problem doesn...

Hi, I need to find a new DB for Delphi XE2 & up, 32 & 64 bits NOW: using Aidaim's EasyTable and Accuracer, Single User versions PROBLEMS: lots of bugs, development halted, poor support, charge upgrade price for a simple re-compile each time a new Delphi version is released. MY NEEDS, NOW: . Single user, preferably single file embedded database . basic DB functions: index, filter, BLOB support, ... . complex (engineering) data but few records, speed isn't critical . cryptography is fairly important . compliance with db-aware third-party VCL controls is fairly important . fair price NEEDS, NEAR FUTURE: . Multi-user (local server) with few users . OSX & mobile Overall, I am NOT a database programmer, I'm focused on math modeling of engineering problems, my tipical softwares have 3 tables in a "technical" database file and 3 tables in a "materials" file; the DB operations are mainly preprogrammed, there's no user creating new queries...

AdoQuery.SQL.Add('select count(*) from Table); Where do I find the result (without using DBEdit connected to the DataSource & datafield=Expr1000) ?

Yeah, this is my first Delphi app in Google Play (free, of course)!
