Fixed, try with B39 (32 and 64Bit)

My Styled Dialogs uses internally my StyledButtons that are full VCL Styles compatible. You can also use dialogs with animations using Skia4Delphi: https://ethea.it/docs/styledcomponents/TStyledTaskDialog.html

Hi, I'd like to share a post. It addressed a byte loss issue captured from a discussion. // Compile with code page 936 program Problem; const strPublicKey: RawByteString = #$30#$3C#$30#$0D#$06#$09#$2A#$86#$48#$86#$F7#$0D#$01#$01#$01#$05 + #$00#$03#$2B#$00#$30#$28#$02#$21#$00#$A4#$65#$B8#$CD#$B4#$29#$A9 + #$64#$1A#$C5#$80#$55#$22#$1B#$BB#$C5#$98#$36#$B9#$23#$0C#$CA#$D4 + #$A8#$B8#$7C#$E6#$32#$E3#$89#$3D#$77#$02#$03#$01#$00#$01; begin Writeln(Length(strPublicKey)); // expected 62 got 58 - why? Readln; end. https://devjetsoftware.com/delphi/byte-loss-in-string-literal-concatenation/

I forgot to mention that, in the original case, the proper solution is to use a byte array —I’d assumed this was common knowledge, but I should have spelled it out. As I wrote at the beginning: I simply documented the journey, shared it, and hope it helps someone. At the very least, the exercise deepened my understanding of character encoding and how dcc handles string literals. In the end, it’s just an article. If you skimmed it, read the conclusion, and found nothing useful -- no worries, and thanks for taking a look.
