Push to send specific User.  I'm following the blog sarina push to send the application. Worked properly but it does not teach how to send to a specific user.  Anyone know how to say? thank you  http://blogs.embarcadero.com/sarinadupont/2014/04/17/sending-notifications-from-baas-enabled-desktop-apps-to-your-mobile-clients/ http://blogs.embarcadero.com/sarinadupont/2014/04/17/sending-notifications-from-baas-enabled-desktop-apps-to-your-mobile-clients

When the mORMot (Delphi) developer meets the Brook (Free Pascal) developer - IMHO, both mORMot and Brook are the best  open source web frameworks for Delphi and FPC respectively, and this discussion lead to an argument between the developers of these two frameworks. http://synopse.info/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1762

Had a problem last week with D2007, where there were a few lines of code that had no blue dots after a build. They also would not accept breakpoints. Has anyone else encountered this? In the end, I retyped the code block, then commented out the old lines, and it worked, leaving me to believe that there was some undisplayed character in the source which caused the problem.

Hi Gurus, Does somebody knows a solution for Tims problem? http://stackoverflow.com/q/23907144?sgp=2

Perhaps a silly question: Does the History tab exist in XE6 Pro?  Mine's gone missing, in all projects, and since I didn't look for it until I needed it and I've only had XE6 for a few weeks, I don't know if it was there and is missing, or was just never there. The __history folders still exist, but the IDE tab doesn't.

Delphi Gem of the day: putting "reintroduce" on a destructor.     destructor Destroy(); reintroduce; overload; In our case all we got was a memory leak because the rest of the inheritance chain didn't override the destructor.

ANN: HTML Report Library released! HRL is a template-based reporting library for Delphi, designed to generate reports using databases and XML. Templates are simple HTML files containing special tags, and output is pure HTML suitable for displaying in any browser and sending by mail (all of the graphics are directly integrated into the text, so when sending mail you don't have to attach pictures separately). HRL can be used in client applications to generate and view report inside the program, and in server applications or Web-servers. As a template language HRL uses widely known Mustache with some extensions. Library supports all versions of Delphi from Delphi 6 to Delphi XE6, and also supports Unicode for old non-unicode versions of Delphi using widestring. HRL fully supports Right-to-Left languages, including order of table columns and location of chart data. HRL supports major data-access components ( FireDac, IBX, UIB, DOA). Adapters for other libraries could be implemented ver...

Hi everybody, I wana to redirect page, using form submit( with WebServer ).. as like login form(user&pass) into correct page(with user data)... In datasnap server xe5. Thanks all..

I just discovered the Ctrl Click IDE shortcut.  I wish the Ctrl Click worked on third party component libraries such as Raize components. Update 05/28/2014: Please check out the response I received from Ray Konopka regarding the find declaration for Raize Components.  http://www.raize.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=481#p1285

Hi everybody, How i can create a web server with login( User&pass) ,redirect into #mypage( with user&pass Author),....  I using datasnap Xe5.

Hi Everyone. My name is Pawel Piotrowski, I'm living in Poland and I'm a delphi programmer since more then 15 years. I even developed a 3D Game Engine with delphi. That was fun. I'm currently running my own small software development company, and we are doing delphi programming for the most part. Not only delphi, but that is the main language we are using. If you like to know more, or if you need a delphi contractor, please see more at http://www.maxlogic.eu

Hi all what unit do I need to add to be able to use TFloatProperty I am trying to use an old component that uses that (originally was in the units   designintf,  DesignEditors,  dsgnintf, thanks for any tips/help! Brian

A response from a Dinosaur... Originally shared by Michael Riley I am one of those Dinosaurs. I am a self-taught Delphi programmer (I actually started with Turbo Pascal 3). Until about two years ago my thought process was I must build everything I can by myself. I am One-Person Part-Time Micro ISV (OPPTMISV).  I have a library of approximately 80 Delphi/Pascal books. Google, SO and the web didn't exist when I started programming. It was a lonely and challenging place for individual programmers like me. To learn new concepts you spent hours in the book store looking for answers before buying yet another book that duplicated 90% of all the other books. There were also bulletin boards and newsgroups but the interaction was not instantaneous like it is today. Hell, finding like-minded and like-skillset people was a challenge in and of itself. I dare you to go one week with out googling for an answer. I bet you can't do it. :-) I'm a die-hard Delphi guy. I have a constant love-h...

Delphi enumerators: is there any way to get them to work with indexed properties? For example, to enumerate over all components in a form you have to use code like this:   for Loop := 0 to Form.ComponentCount do... but I want to be able to do:   for Component in Form.Components do...

Today is the first day of the rest of my  #delphi  life!  :-)

I've never shared any of my components for fear people would laugh at my coding. Oh, well. I'm looking for beta testers for my MaxIni component, a non-visual component that simplifies persisting property values and other information in an ini file.

Ok guys, it's time to learn a little about FMX ... and French :) I was disapointed by the lacks of Drag&Drop support under Android, but I dig the FMX source code and found what's going on. My Execute.FMXBasedDragDrop unit is a crossplaform implementation of Drag&Drop for Android (and probably iOS, but I don't have an iPhone). All the explanation are in french, but the source code is english commented, you can find the sample projet on the bottom link of the page. http://lookinside.free.fr/delphi.php?FMXBasedDragDrop Conclusion: it would be great to have access to TCommonCustomForm.FMousePos and TCommonCustomForm.SetCaptured. (image captured from my smarphone with TeamViewer for Android & LICEcap for Windows)

Delphi XE2: Nested Comments, I want them! I've had some troubles with nested "{" and "}" pairs aka curly-braces. Specifically, when I have a piece of code with an inline comment that I'd like to keep.... function ThisIsAFunction() begin    if (SomeFunction(Var1{used to use Var2})) then       DoSomething(); end; ... But in debugging, I decided to comment a line out in this function. However, nest curly-braces don't seem to work and the IDE/compiler complains... function ThisIsAFunction() begin {   if (SomeFunction(Var1{used to use Var2})) then       DoSomething();} end; Sometimes, I want to comment out a section of code and mark it..  {$REGION 'OldCode'} { function ThisIsAFunction() begin {   if (SomeFunction(Var1{used to use Var2})) then       DoSomething();} end; } {$ENDREGION} I always have to change my comments to "//" when I want to enclose them in "{". Sure wish I could just leave the "{" there and nest it insid...
