Hello, do good and talk about... I'm currently shortly before releasing a new tool. It''s named "Delphi Code Coverage Plus" and is a completely rewritten and improved version of "Delphi Code Coverage Wizard". You can already get it on GitHub and it already works, the things before a 1.0 release I want to do are mostly cosmetic ones. Here is the link: https://github.com/MHumm/delphi-code-coverage-wizard-plus Now what can it do for me? It is a GUI tool which can generate everything needed to run the commandline Delphi Code Coverage tool that Delphi Code Coverage tool would run your unit tests and find out which lines of code your unit tests are actually run by the unit tests and which ones are never reached Why did I rewrite it and what's new/improved? The former Wizard (remember: I only reworte the wizard, not the command line tool itsself!) would generate the batch file to run the command line tool and create other necessary files, but if you changed something in your Delphi project, you would have to update these files/batch file yourself manually The new wizard got rid of JVCL components so it uses only what comes with Delphi itsself, which hopefully makes it easier for others to contribute The new wizard introduces a project format so you can load and modify an existing project, e.g. if you added more units to your project or need a different output format The new wizard can add itsself to Delphi's Tools menu if you like. The new wizard stores his position and window sze so it opens the same positionand with the same size new time it is started The new wizard should be HiDPI capable The new wizard can directly show the HTML output if you selected that one as output format What else is there to know? it was developed with 11.2, but most likely will compile and work fine with 10.4 For isntallation download the ZIP from GitHub or clone it, then open and run the project file There are plans to release it via GetIt package manager as well If you like this tool you can "star" it on GitHub 😉

AcquireSRWLockShared was introduced in Windows Vista. So, I would guess not. Delphi no longer supports Windows XP as a development target and according to comments from them, they are actively removing code that exists merely to service targeting XP. If you really need to support such an old OS, you will probably want to stick with development tools meant for it.

As I said, and this is what I want, just drop a component on form and run it... So yes, I am using the default Alignment and Anchors. And I definitely not want to do set component positions on runtime. DELPHI supposed to be a RAD application.

When creating DPI-Aware application you must take care when locating/sizing controls in code to adjust for the current DPI. Buttons appearing off-screen sounds like that sort of problem. For example, Button.Left := MulDiv(X, Monitor.PixelsPerInch, 96), instead of Button.Left := X; You will use MulDiv alot when making DPI-Aware apps.

Where else am I going to get my copy of Bonzi Buddy???

Conditionally added CRLF to a header line is certainly possible, but it would be better done when the properties are set. I'm planning a new multi-threaded web server which will be an opportunity to clean up legacy problems with the existing server that has evolved over 25 years. Angus
