UPDATE: I see that my book is available now in Europe, and some sales have been logged there. So for anyone awaiting that availability. wait no more.

There are many legacy projects which are still in active production. This volume offers approaches to refactoring and modernizing the code base without the need for complete redesign and rewrite. Evolution, not revolution. These are approaches well suited to the incremental revision of production code, as is usually the concern with a commercial product. Motivated by my own experience with legacy apps and the need to find a manageable approach to transforming a product in current production. On Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2TY6ZZ4

I didn't see it was ADOQuery until I zoom picture ! (I don't even understand how we can still use it, but I hate ADO for a long time now) Firedac is my prefered set of database components

Just an update. Turned out the culprit was RVMedia v 9. One brownie point for Dave. ;-) The product itself is fine. When it starts up it does a version check to 'home'. This hiccups from time to time. Sergey is looking into it. In the mean time this check on start up can be turned off by right click any RVMedia component at design time and choose “Check for RVMedia update”. In the version check dialog, uncheck “Check on start” checkbox. As I said, there is nothing wrong with the product itself during design & run time, just the hiccup at Delphi start. HTH somebody else.

Maybe this showcase is interesting too, and this more modern site.

That exactly describes a blocking behavior. As long as the specification says blocking and you want non-blocking, you better change the specification first before doing anything with the code.

Sometimes all it takes is to walk away from the problem for a short while.

Because I wasn't seeing it and getting more and more confused so I decided to take the easy way out. I put it down, had a coffee, and came back to it. I now have it.. type TForm26 = class(TForm) Button1: TButton; procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject); private { Private declarations } type TLabelRecord = record iValue: Integer; iColor: Integer; end; type TLabelMatrix = array[1..12, 1..7] of TLabelRecord; public { Public declarations } end; var Form26: TForm26; implementation {$R *.dfm} procedure TForm26.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var LabelRecord1, LabelRecord2: TLabelRecord; LabelMatrix: TLabelMatrix; begin LabelRecord1.iValue:= 123; LabelRecord1.iColor := 234; LabelMatrix[1,1] := LabelRecord1; // LabelRecord2 := LabelMatrix[1,1]; ShowMessage('Value = '+LabelRecord2.iValue.ToString); ShowMessage('Color = '+LabelRecord2.iColor.ToString); // end; Thank you for your patience & guidance.

Amazon in my country lists it as "Currently not available, unknown when it will be". 😐 Please consider at least some kind of PDF. Kindle, however, would be much appreciated. It's just so incredibly comfortable, and other coding books have this option as well.
