FWIW, it can be set through the constructor too. Yes but then I would have expected TGadgetAnimation to be in the leak list too. As far as I can tell from the screenshot the list only contained the string. Anyway, the string leak is definitely a secondary leak and the problem lies elsewhere.

I have used bits of their Internet Suite for over a decade. Looking back over the few tickets I have opened, the response time has varied between two and ten days. Not much more than it used to be when Sergei just responded to e-mails. I agree the help file is a bit primitive but they also have a large library of examples and tutorials for the Internet Suite on their site and on Github. I know nothing about their other products, but the ones I use are pretty solid. For this reason, and the fact that I have the source code, I have never really worried about where their offices are, or how many people are in the 'Clever Components Team' which appears under Sergei's e-mail signature.

Yes, I'm using it actively. Don't expect rushed answers; the situation must be complicated, obviously. Otherwise, the components are mature and have been working well in production for years. Is your question technical?

The terminology in the quoted text is muddy, IMO. Reintroduce does not affect the compiler other than suppressing a warning. You will get the same code emitted whether you omit the reintroduce keyword or include it. When you use the keyword you are just telling the compiler you intend to do something that kind of looks like a mistake (hiding the inherited method), because it is not common to declare a method in a child class that has the same name as a virtual/dynamic method in its parent and not also override it. (There are times where this makes sense but I personally try to avoid it because of the inevitable confusion it may cause down the road when it is forgotten this was done...) It's also sometimes the case that the inherited class changes: someone adds a new virtual method that didn't exist when the child class was designed, and now there is an unknown conflict; the warning is a good one so you can know this happened and deal with it accordingly. I can't understand from your post what you actually want to do, so I can't offer you an alternative that works around the confusion.

Another option where I had a better experience than with OpenAI and Gemini is YouChat

Yes, it is a matter of that. It's explained in the demo in Kastri.

I usually don't rely on the TabControl UI for multi-plattform. The TabControl itself works fine, but I remove its visual Tabs and use separate navigation controls to switch between Tabs, for example simple TButton's in a separate TLayout. That way I have full control over behaviour and appearance and the UI and the navigation can even separated from the tab-control itself, or even easily replaced by different visual impressions for different device categories ( phone, tablet, desktop).

is all you need

I always do Stopwatch := TStopwatch.StartNew; On a side note I wonder if the new managed records thing could make your original one work (which I would prefer.)
