  1. Hi all, I just wanted to let you know my (long-awaited) FMX book is now available (actually it is rolling out on Packt and Amazon so availability may be different across different countries). If you like to read some details you can read my latest blog post: https://blog.andreamagni.eu/2020/10/book-delphi-gui-programming-with-firemonkey-now-available/ I really hope the book will be useful to spread Delphi and FMX as development platform. Thanks for the attention, Andrea

    Reading fields with different lenghts

    Hi, Showing some code always helps us give accurate answers. Anyway.... If you can read Sizeof(TMyData) in one peace, you could use a record like type TMyData = record bSTX : Byte; bSep1: byte; Field1: Array[0..1] of byte; bSep2 : Byte; Field2 : Array[0..5] of byte; bSep3: Byte; Field3 : Array[0..2] of byte. Field4 : Array[0..4] of byte; bsep4 : Byte; bETX : Byte; bLRC : byte; end; var MyData : TMyData; begin fillchar( MyData, Sizeof(TMyData) , 0 ); move( DataFromCOM[0], MyData[0], Sizeof(TMyData) ); // Use the data MyData.Field1; MyData.Field2; end; Always check if you are receiving the expected number of bytes. Check the values of STX, ETX and the separators to see if at least those are Ok. If this routine will be called "a lot", I suggest creating MyData as a class field, to be use as long as the class is not destroyed.
  3. It was first done well in this book, Hoare, C. A. R. Communicating sequential processes I have a book "Patterns in Java. A Catalog of Reusable Design Patterns Illustrated with UML | Grand Mark". This book describes the Producer-Consumer pattern, in my opinion this is your case. There are code examples for the queue.
  4. Got my copy too. Thanks Andrea
  5. Got my copy as well, thanks!
  6. Reading it now. Finally a nice and clear introduction to FMX - I wish this were part of the documentation from the first introduction of this framework, instead of a dry list of obscure classes present in the official docs today. Thank you for the excellent book!

    Tools API - Changing Key Assignment

    I wrote it myself a few years ago, based on an article written by Cary Jensen that you can find here. Attached is the code for the expert in its current state, the changing of the format source key assignment is still a work in progress. Editor.zip

    The android app doesn't start at specific devices

    Thanks for that information. It might help other developers who make the same error. You're welcome!

    Find UDP Server

    Subnet broadcasting is supported only in IPv4, not in IPv6, you have to use multicasting instead.
