The eternal optimist

No feature freeze until Delphi Antarctica

I'm curious if anything has been said about language enhancements in 10.4. I tend to avoid language enhancements, but I'd love to see nullables as well as a ?? and ??= operators, and even a ternary ( x ? y : z ) operator, esp a ternary operator that works with nullables. I've seen that nullables are in the pipeline, but the overviews are getting so high-level that it's nearly impossible to discern any specifics.

You either mean management reports or manged records... not sure which. Hmmmmm

Managed Records were removed at last minute for 10.3 and postponed to 10.4

That's me

I am really looking forward to nullable base types. Variants sort of work, but you have to write a lot of checking code that could be made less complex with nullables + operators + validation. Some food for thought here: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2020/03/05/c-8-nullable-reference-types/

I've collected some info on 10.4 here: https://github.com/ideasawakened/DelphiKB/wiki/D27.Next.10.4.0.0 Specifically, managed records was pushed off for 10.4: http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/2018-november-deferring-managed records.html And it was confirmed recently as coming in 10.4: https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/get-ready-for-the-10-4-beta-with-update-subscription That's all I've seen specifically for language enhancements in 10.4.0 but they may surprise us. I'm looking forward ti VCL Styles + High DPI improvements in 10.4. The language server protocol will likely open up a new set of tooling for the IDE, which might be cool if it works. Beta should start 'very soon' - supposedly sometime in March.

In Fmx this would look somewhat like this: function DoLocked(const ALock : Boolean) : Boolean; var UIApp : UIApplication; begin UIApp := TUIApplication.Wrap(TUIApplication.OCClass.sharedApplication); if ALock then begin UIApp.setIdleTimerDisabled(True); // aquire wakelock Result := True; end else begin UIApp.setIdleTimerDisabled(False); // release wakelock Result := False; end; end; I put some more functionality around that basic one, to make it workable on all platforms, and to avoid double-enabling, but I removed that from the code above.

My apologies again, I was acting like an asshole. Sorry.... Well, it is a long time that I do not code. I was completely forgetting that there are many other occasions when I can act like, for instance, the OnFormClose event. My problem, if I can say so, is to resize the columns just a bit before to show the form and then save the width before closing, or on closing. I'm gonna try this now. However, can you explain what is this grZbozi ? Is it a library of components ? Where can I find it to study ? Thanks again.

IT'S A PROBLEM IN THE BUILD PROCESS THAT ONLY AFFECTS THOSE WHO USE IT. I DON'T CARE IF YOU CALL IT A BUG, FOR ME IT'S AN ANNOYANCE AND THERE IS A SIMPLE WORKAROUND THAT TAKES ALL OF 30 SECONDS TO APPLY. FIXING THIS SO CALLED BUG WOULD TAKE ME AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR. AND THAT'S MY TIME, NOT YOURS. (OK, I will stop using caps now.) I won't take the time to fix this, it doesn't affect me. If you want it fixed, fix it yourself.

As long as they are using separate IP/Ports, and any NAT proxy/router they are sitting behind has been configured properly for port forwarding, then there should be no problem. No.
