    Do bug fix patches really require active subscription?

    If I understand correctly nobody likes to be forced to pay for bugfixes for stuff they already bought.

    Prevent Alt or Ctrl + Print Screen

    On Windows 7 and later, you can use SetWindowDisplayAffinity() to specify that you want your Form window to only appear on a monitor display. That will omit (black) it out in screen captures, etc.

  6. Thanks, the issue is resolved. The culprit appears to be 'SpyHunter 5 - System Guard'. Egil

    SetWindowDisplayAffinity(Application.MainFormHandle You really need to be calling this method from CreateWnd because of VCL window recreation. Also it's kinda odd that you would use MainFormHandle from a method of the main form. Why not use Handle? But it's important to move that code to CreateWnd.

    And what about Schokohase?

    Hmm, yeah, that's a conundrum. A better pattern would be that your included subscription follows the cycle of the major version - i.e. 10.4.x.

    If you worry about copying signatures, you can slightly blur them so they will be readable but look modified.

    I think at least in Germany the court would say otherwise - keyword: Nachbesserung und Gewährleistung

    Maybe using Low Level Keyboard Hooks MSDN LowLevelKeyboardProc But the thing is, there are more ways to make a Screenshot than just using these Shortcuts, even without third party tools: Microsoft Snipping Tools Windows Key + Shift + S Print and MS Paint to cut the Screenshot You should ask yourself if you actually need to do this and save yourself the time and money.

    Delphi books

    Thanks for that link too, which links to a whole lot of succinctly free e-books, thats quite interesting. I hope I don't misunderstand, you want to send the link to the sources, not the entire PDF's, of a copyrighted book ? But many of the original sources for books you can find easily by searching after its name, so everybody can get them on his/her own, if needed.

    Delphi books

    I rate myself as an "intermediate-level" Delphi programmer (as compared to the experts I found in this forum; I also use C/C++, .NET/C#/F#, FORTRAN). The following is the list of Dephi books that I've collected over the years. These are all great books by great writers - I'd like to thank them all for their books accompanying my Delphi journey over the years. For Learners: Inside Delphi 2006 (Ivan Hlandi) - the first Delphi book I read, by which I learned Delphi. I found this book very good for picking up Delphi. It covers not only Delphi but C++ Builder (for cross referencing Delphi features). Object Pascal Handbook (Marco Cantu, 2021) - classic, and continuously updated, with the latest one being for Sydney 10.4.2. Delphi XE2 Foundations (Chris Rolliston, 2012) - a well written book covering the Delphi language and other aspects. Comprehensive: Mastering Delphi 7 (Marco Cantu, 1996) - classic of the classics. Old but still relevant. Of all of Marco's books, I think his "Master Delphi XXX" series are really well written, impeccable text-book style. Expert Delphi (Pawel Glowacki, 2017) - another good Delphi book. Delphi Cookbook (Daniele Teti, 2018) - cookbook style, and good as a desktop reference to check out the tips occasionally. Delphi GUI Programming with FireMoney (Andrea Magni, 2021) - on the GUI programming using FMX, haven't finish reading it. Seems a comprehensive one. Delphi in a Nutshell (Ray Lischner, 2000) - my favorite book. Very well written, concise, and no non-sense. I like the "nutshell" style. I really hope Oreilly could update this book to the recent Delphi editions. For COM/ActiveX developing in Delphi: Delphi COM Programming (Eric Harmon, 2000) - the classic for Delphi COM programming. Oldie but goodie. A must-have if you are still doing COM programming. For Delphi Component Development: Delphi Component Design (Danny Thorpe, 1996) - the classic for component developers. Oldie but goodie. The author is Danny Thorpe after all. Even if you don't read it, you can save the book for the old times' sake. A nostalgic item to keep. Developing Custom Delphi 3 Components (Ray Konopka, 1997). Old, but still relevant. Well-written. For Database: Delphi in Depth - Client Dataset (Cary Jensen, 2014) - Not sure ClientDataSet is still a good option nowadays. But the book provides comprehensive coverage on ClientDataSet and its under-the-hood. Delphi in Depth - FireDAC (Cary Jensen, 2015) - a must-have if you want to learn FireDAC systematically. Introducing Delphi ORM (John Kouraklis, 2019) - An interesting little book about ORM, with a focus on TMS Aurelius. Enterprise Delphi Database with mORMot (Erick Engelke, 2016) - the only book on mORMot (except mORMot's own manual). Neither well-written, nor carefully proofread. It can be useful before driving you lunatic with the various typos, typesetting errors, or out-of-no-where examples. Still appreciate the book for being the only mORMot book, though. Multi-threading/Parallel Programming Parallel Programming with OmniTheadLibrary (Primoz Gabrijelcic, 2019) - A systematic book on the wonderful OmniThreadLibrary. Delphi Event-based and Asynchronously Programming (Dalija Prasnikar, 2020) - a very well written book on the subject. Design Patterns Hands on Design Patterns with Delphi (Primoz Gabrijelcic, 2019) - A very nice book of implementing various design patterns in Delphi. Coding in Delphi, More Coding in Delphi, Dependency Injection in Delphi (Nick Hodges, 2015) - the three books by Nick Hodges on implementing design patterns in Delphi. Primarily about the Spring4D. The books have a very enthusiastic writing style, together with a lot of filler jokes (not my style but I can appreciate Nick's enthusiasm trying to make things lighter and fun). MVVM in Delphi (John Kouralkis, 2016) - a book on implementing MVVM in Delphi. The first couple of chapters are quite academic but interesting. Delphi Performance/Memory Management/Algorithms Delphi High Performance (Primoz Gabrijelcic, 2018) - a fairly unique book on writing performant Delphi code. Delphi Memory Management (Dalija Prasnikar, 2018) - a very interesting book, well written too. Delphi Algorithms and Data Structures (Julian Bucknall, 2001) - A unique book on algorithms and data structures in Delphi language.

    FIDO2 and CBOR

    Hi there! There is the C library libFido2 around in form of a dll. I took the liberty to put arround a Delphi library that supports FIDO2 keys around that library including a little project that shows how one could do WebAuthn logins. check out: https://github.com/mikerabat/DelphiFido2 https://github.com/mikerabat/DelphiCBOR for further reading. kind regards Mike

    @Remy Lebeau Selective perception? If a compiler is not a critical product function I don't know what is.
