One more bridge between desktop and web: HTML Office Library. The first Delphi library for reading all office formats (+ PDF) and convert them to plain HTML on the fly. Converted document contains only plain HTML/CSS/SVG and can be displayed using HTML Component Library or browser. Library provides a uniform access to an entire document and its parts, document resources (fonts, images, etc) and properties (title, Table of Contents, etc). The library doesn't depend on any external components (DLLs, OLE, ActiveX, etc) and is cross-platform. Fully written in Delphi and comes with full source code. Following document formats are supported: Rich Text Format (RTF) MS Word 6-2007 binary format (DOC) MS Word XML document (DOCX) MS Power Point binary format (PPT) MS Power Point XML format (PPTX) MS Excel binary format (XLS) MS Excel XML format (XLSX) Adobe PDF format (PDF) Supercalc format (SXC) EPUB (electronic books). Besides the document conversion classes it also contains the following: EMF/WMF to SVG conversion TTF to WOFF conversion TTF normalization TTF to SVG conversion CFF to TTF conversion Adobe PostScript to TTF conversion. Supported Delphi versions are Delphi XE2 - Delphi 10.4.1. Supported platforms: Windows 32/64 VCL and FMX, MacOS, Linux. There are two compiled demos available https://delphihtmlcomponents.com/FileBrowser.zip 1. Simple document viewer: allows to view any document on hard drive using file tree on left side and HtPanel on right. To view final HTML press View in browser button. No installation required. 2. Document Indexer: create full text search index for documents located in selected folders and find any document from application or Web. No installation required. How to use: Run application (OfficeIndex.exe). Click Add folder and select folder containing office documents. Click Start indexing, wait until it completed. Search for documents using one of the following: a) Go to Search tab and enter search query (any words). b) Click Web interface and enter search query. c) Point mobile phone camera (mobile should be connected to the same router) to QR code and open mobile interface. Full cource code of both applications are included in library.

Oh, please nothing special, just make 10.4.x usable first.

DFM Editor allows edit and create Borland Delphi VCL/FireMonkey Forms in text and binary format. It is compatible with all Borland/Codegear/Embarcadero development tools (Delphi, Builder, BDS, RAD). DFM Editor can extracts forms from compiled executables and DLLs (or others Portable Executable files) by its extraction tool. Syntax highlihting editor with code folding, object inspector and object tree view are tools that make work easier. There's form preview tool available so you can view form in WYSIWYG mode. DFM Editor allows also user packages (*.bpl) registration to make included components to be known to DFM Editor. For more information see https://www.mitec.cz/dfm.html

I'm using AsyncPro since many years without problem.

Thank you. I'll think about this.

Apologies guys, yep. Forgot to make public. Should be visible now.

Check out some of the interesting algorithms and data structures used to create an extremely light-weight XML DOM. https://blog.grijjy.com/2020/10/07/an-xml-dom-with-just-8-bytes-per-node/

Last Delphi roadmap was published in May 2019 https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/rad-studio-roadmap-may-2019 and later updated in August 2019 https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/august-2019-delphi-android-beta-plans-august-roadmap-update. Those roadmaps cover up to mid 2020. It would be great to have an updated roadmap to know the future evolution of Delphi. What do you think?

Assuming the calling convention of the DLL function is stdcall, then the correct PInvoke declaration in C# would be as follows: [DllImport("my.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)] static extern bool Mostra_Msg (string Parmsg); Alternatively: [DllImport("my.dll")] static extern bool Mostra_Msg ([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]string Parmsg);

This could be an interesting companion to VS Code with OmniPascal.

<OT> Have I ever noticed how silly "BING BING BING !" would sound </OT>

What is Project Maker? MiTeC Project Maker is tool for automated batch Delphi projects building. With Project Maker, you can set compiler and its configuration, define actions processed before and after building, patch version information of built binary, sign this binary with specified certificate, apply 3rd-party software protection and many more. How does Project Maker work? Project Maker offers clear powerful interface for project building task definition. Every project can contain unlimited number of tasks. Task represents Delphi project, defined in dpr or dproj file. In addition Project Maker features Profiles, where you can define common properties for project. The project can have unlimited number of profiles. Using profiles you can simply switch between variety of build configurations. Who is Project Maker targeted on? Project Maker is targeted on developers who need to make various build scenarios and make repeated actions automatic. Project Maker is simple but powerful and provides one-click building of very complex and dependent projects. For more information see https://www.mitec.cz/pm.html

BASS library seems to handle what you need https://www.un4seen.com/

The interesting part is that there is still room for improvement - and if it is a significant one - it will have huge implications.

I've not used FastSpring before I'm afraid. Stripe seemed to tick all the boxes for me so I didn't look elsewhere.

For voice communication, UDP is usually used because it is no necessary to have a communication without error, but the most real time as possible.

I hope they were getting paid for that work.

I almost always use TFrame or TForm from each page of a TPageControl. And from elsewhere I don't reference the components they are made of. Instead, the frame or form expose properties, methods and events related to what is on the page. I strongly agree with you. Having huge main unit is how newbies are coding.

Woohoo Oh..,

Would be nice to localise the disabling of overflow checks to just the hashing routines.

Hm, I always convert to hex as an intermediary step (and actually prefer hex constants in source code). and I can still do binary to hex and back in my head, back from the C64 times.
