Some additional options. You can view form or frame as text and doing the copy paste there. It is faster than doing it in the designer. Another way is aligning other panels to the bottom, and then aligning them back to top in order you want them.

Hi everyone, (Oops, I made a mistake posting in the VCL section when it's more appropriate here) For more than six months, I’ve been developing turnkey solutions for the Delphi developer community in the form of API wrappers that harness the full range of models and features offered by leading providers (OpenAI, Deepseek, Anthropic, Gemini, MistralAI, Groq Cloud, Hugging Face, and Stability AI). Each README file is written as a tutorial to help users get started. Natively, these libraries support both synchronous and asynchronous workflows and some even offer parallel execution to optimize performance. In addition, I’ve published two projects demonstrating the use of the Promise pattern to orchestrate asynchronous requests (notably with OpenAI, but also compatible with other wrappers), as well as a pipeline-based project that simplifies the processing chain for model calls. Coming soon, I will introduce a module dedicated to OpenAI’s new file_search feature (endpoint v1/response), which, thanks to an expanded semantic surface, enables querying vector stores with unprecedented precision and temporarily enriches models without the need for fine-tuning. If you’re new to AI integration or looking to accelerate your development, feel free to check out my projects on GitHub. Additionally, all of these tools are available via GetIt. Your feedback is welcome and will be incredibly helpful in improving these tools. https://github.com/MaxiDonkey As a point of clarification regarding my background, I am a mathematician by training rather than a professional software developer. I returned to Delphi just over a year ago—if you’d like to understand my motivations, please consult this document. My core expertise lies in using formal proof tools such as Lean and Coq, rather than in Delphi-specific development.

The winnner was announced - https://ideasawakened.com/post/rad-programmer-challenge-number-one-winner-announcement Jaques Nascimento Congrats! A serial number for a free license of Pascal Expert from Peganza was emailed earlier today and am currently arranging his $500 prize delivery for his Minesweeper build in RAD Studio. There were 18 contestants with a variety of game features implemented. Two of the games are available on the Google Play store and one user made a video tutorial of his build: - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.imperium.MineSweeper - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abrito.Minesweeper - I hope it was fun for those involved! I am writing up the next one to hopefully start soon.

We just introduced in our Open Source mORMot 2 framework two client units to access DNS and LDAP/CLDAP servers. You can resolve IP addresses and services using DNS, and ask for information about your IT infrastructure using LDAP. There are not so many working and cross-platform OpenSource DNS and LDAP libraries around in Delphi or FPC, especially compatible with the latest MS AD versions. And none was able to use Kerberos authentication, or signing/sealing, AFAIK. Last but not least, its DNS and CLDAP server-auto-discovery feature is pretty unique. Please see https://blog.synopse.info/?post/2023/04/19/New-DNS-and-(C)LDAP-Clients-for-Delphi-and-FPC-in-mORMot-2 🙂

Why is this too complicated for people? Pull requests make a lot more sense for open source projects, as they make doing code reviews etc simple - where as with direct commit access there is always more risk that something get's broken, or that the committer takes the project in a different direction than what the project owner wants. I always tell people, before contributing to a project 1) create an issue and discuss with the other contributors/owners - then when everyone is on the same page 2) create a pull request 3) owner and other contributors review and approve/merge. Usually after step 1, if I do not have the time to implement it myself, I tag the issue as "PR Invited" meaning the issue is well understood and deemed worthy of implementation - and a PR that implements the feature/fix etc will have a good chance of being accepted. Sadly most of the time people ask/want but are not prepared to help/contribute. Github is not the barrier.
