If you need an integration for MarkDown files into Delphi apps, you can find some interesting open-source projects that I'm working on. MarkDownHelpViewer Project The MarkDownHelpViewer, is an Open-Source project to provide a Delphi-integrated help system using markdown files for online "help" creation. The project includes a ready Viewer with its setup to be installed on the user's machine (in practice the equivalent of hh.exe for the help in .chm format (see image) and an "interface" file to add to your own application that hooks the viewer to the "HelpContext" or "HelpKeyword" set on the Delphi components. Besides this also a component that can be used internally to the Delphi application to display help files. Here is the link to the project: https://github.com/EtheaDev/MarkdownHelpViewer This is a "Preview" of the viewer showing the help from the "wiki" of the InstantObjects project: There's also a small demo in the project that explains how to integrate the help with your Delphi application, including the ability to use a MarkDownViewer component right inside your application: The MarkDownShellExtensions Project In addition to the viewer, I recommend to use the MarkDown file editor, which comes with my other project available here: https://github.com/EtheaDev/MarkdownShellExtensions with which it is possible to edit the MarkDown files and immediately see the preview of the final result: Combining the two projects you will be able to offer your Delphi applications a fully integrated and easy to maintain Help system for the end user: when you need to update the images of your application because the GUI has changed, it will be sufficient to update the image on disk and update the associated markdown file, without the need for further updates, in order to always have the help updated to the latest release. Furthermore, the MarkDown format allows it to be easily published (for example as a "wiki" on Git-Hub) and is easily maintainable because it can be subjected to version-control. Those two projects are based on other Open-source projects, like: 1: SVGIconImageList: https://github.com/EtheaDev/SVGIconImageList 2: HtmlViewer: https://github.com/BerndGabriel/HtmlViewer) 2: SynEdit: https://github.com/SynEdit/SynEdit 3: VCLStyleUtils: https://github.com/RRUZ/vcl-styles-utils 4: Delphi-Markdown: https://github.com/grahamegrieve/delphi-markdown

I can't offer advice on where to buy from, but I am also about to go through this process again in the next few months, so interested to hear people's experiences. FWIW, I blogged about code signing with hardware based certificates last year - https://www.finalbuilder.com/resources/blogs/code-signing-with-usb-tokens

Is there any tool available to create a SBOM for a Delphi Application or DLL? Thanks Sid

I contributed ISO8601-compliant DateTime parsing to DUnitX: VSoftTechnologies/DUnitX: Delphi Unit Test Framework (github.com) I'd recommend using ISO8601 so that it doesn't depend on the build machine's locale.

I got an EV cert from globalsign recently and it only took a couple of days from start to finish.

@kaarigar you can try some like this: FIXED implementation {$R *.fmx} procedure TForm1.Btn_Create_ItemsClick(Sender: TObject); const LHeaders: array [0 .. 2] of string = ('Header1', 'Header2', 'Header3'); var LBGHeader : TListBoxGroupHeader; LBGHeaderHeight: single; LBItem : TListBoxItem; LBItemHeight : single; LItemHeight : single; LHowManyItems : integer; begin // reset all default values... ListBox1.Clear; ListBox1.ItemHeight := 0; ListBox1.ListStyle := TListStyle.Vertical; ListBox1.Columns := 1; // LBGHeaderHeight := 19; // default values LBItemHeight := 19; LHowManyItems := 1; // for var i: integer := 0 to high(LHeaders) do // if headers with distinct height, then needs some calc... begin LBGHeader := TListBoxGroupHeader.Create(Self); LBGHeader.Text := LHeaders[i]; ListBox1.AddObject(LBGHeader); LBGHeaderHeight := LBGHeader.Height; // here you can verify if a Header is > than before // LHowManyItems := Trunc(SpinBox1.Value); // for var j: integer := 1 to LHowManyItems do begin LBItem := TListBoxItem.Create(Self); LBItem.Text := '... Item' + j.ToString; ListBox1.AddObject(LBItem); LBItemHeight := LBItem.Height; // if Item with distinct height, then needs some calc... end; end; // LItemHeight := ListBox1.ClientHeight - (LBGHeaderHeight + 1); // (LBGHeaderHeight + 1 = line-separator LItemHeight := (LItemHeight / (LHowManyItems + 1)); // LHowManyItems + Header // ListBox1.ItemHeight := LItemHeight; ListBox1.ListStyle := TListStyle.Horizontal; end; initialization ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown := true; end.

Wouldn't it be more clean to use the interposer without the intermediate class wrapper TSuperButton ? https://zarko-gajic.iz.hr/delphi-interceptor-classes-tbutton-classtbutton/ type TButton = class(stdctrls.TButton) private fLastClickTime: TDateTime; public procedure Click; override; public property LastClickTime : TDateTime read fLastClickTime write fLastClickTime; end;

TStringHelper.Compare has an overload where you can give the option TCompareOption.coDigitAsNumbers for this purpose.
