Hi I have another question. For Windows x86 and x64, we will need to copy the webview2load.dll to the app directory. How about linux? what are the files that i need to copy or attach to my app directory? The windows webview2load.dll is found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Redist\win64 for 64bit deployment and C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Redist\win32 for 32bit deployment. Do i attached the entire C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Redist\linux64 directory files when i deploy for linux when using TWebBrowser in Linux? please advise regards chris

hi i managed to find it. must download the EdgeView2 SDK from Getit. From there get the webview2load.dll and copy it to my app directory. thanks chris

hi, i am using the Twebbrowser component to load a page which i can see it from microsoft edge and chrome but it was not able to be displayed on the TWebbrowser. Any ideas on how to debug it. i think its still using IE but i am trying to use EdgeIfAvailable but Edge engine is not found if i set the EdgeOnly option where can i find the webview2loader.dll? i downloaded the Evergreen standalone as well as the Fixed version. Expanded the Fixed version but cant find this file regards chris

hi I am also having this error whereby Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime is installed as shown in Programs and Features but Delphi 11.1 will show an exception as shown in the pic please advise regards chris

so meaning there is no component that i can use readily to plug into a Delphi form so that i can connect to a VNC server isnt it? still have to do more work on it. oh mine.. then will need more time to research on these few github sources

The TControlSizer made by http://www.simes.clara.co.uk/delphi/ctrlsize.htm no longer exists. Is there a replacement for it to work on Delphi 11? Its still working under Delphi 6 but somehow due to it using windows messages lparams, it is currently not working now regards chris === From the Delphi Groups ====== Here are a few URLs you may want to check out: TStretchHandle http://www.torry.ru/index.htm, at the Authors's page under S for Scott, Anthony.

Hi What is the difference between https://github.com/teppicom/RealThinClient-SDK and https://github.com/CloudDelphi/RTC-Portal-VCL? Actually i need a VNC client component to connect to the VNC Server which is running on Ubuntu 22. Somehow the VNC Server on Ubuntu 22 is different from VNC Server on Ubuntu 20 regards chris

Hi I have a local web page which i will use the FMX.TWebBrowser for Linux to call e.g. File:///home/chris/webpage.html In this web page, there is a java script that will read the xml in that /home/chris directory However, the web browser is unable to read the xml due to CORS Is there a way to allow the FMX.TWebBrowser to enable the javascript to read the local xml file or how to disable the CORS? regards chris

Hi Currently i running Delphi 11.1 in Windows 10 VM. The VM is running on MacOS Monterey 12.6.3 With Delphi 11.1, i am still able to compile MacOS app to run on Monterey. However, if i were to upgrade my MacOS to Ventura, Will my Delphi 11.1 able to compile MacOS app for Ventura? I dont want to face the fact that after i upgraded my MacOS from Monterey to Ventura and Delphi 11.1 cannot compile for MacOS, iOS and Android via PAServer. regards chris

Hi So sorry to cause so much of confusion. Currently, i am running MacOS Monterey with XCode 14.2, PAServer 13.1.11 Actually, if i were to upgrade the MacOS from Monetery to Ventura, while keeping the PAServer for Delphi 11.1 at 13.1.11 and XCode 14.2, would there be any problem to compile and run a FMX application for MacOS? Previously i had a problems after upgrading the XCode or MacOS, Delphi would not be able to compile and run the fmx application for iOS or MacOS. I am now stuck with Delphi 11.1 as the company may not want to continue with using Delphi further due to not able to find programmers with such skills locally. Everyone is onto newer programming languages such as javascript, Ruby, Rust, C sharp etc. So sorry to say (what i feel) that delphi is really on a decline whereby the number of components released in 2008 and now, its not easy to find a suitable component for delphi. Hence maybe i am stuck in the middle whereby i may need to re-write some of my apps into other programming languages such as Java or ReactJS regards chris

does it mean that my Windows 10 VM with Delphi 11.1 will not be able to compile iOS and MacOS app on my Macbook running on MacOS Ventura? regards chris

Hi I have a component like this TMyComponentEvent = procedure (Sender : TObject ; aData : string) of object; TMyComponent = class(TComponent) private FClient : TidTCPClient; FProcessList : TmyStringList; FReadThreadComponent : TidThreadComponent; FProcessThreadComponent : TidThreadComponent; FOnMyEvent : TMyComponentEvent; procedure DoMyEvent(aData : string); dynamic; ... ... procedure ReadThreadComponentRun(Sender : TidThreadComponent) procedure ProcessThreadComponentRun(Sender : TidThreadComponent) .. .. published property OnMyEvent : TMyComponentEvent read FOnMyEvent write FOnMyEvent; end; procedure register; begin RegisterComponents('MyComponents', [TMyComponent]); end; // cc : the UI screen will have this component and will have a set of code // cc : to implement on this event procedure TMyComponent.DoMyEvent(aData : string); begin if assigned(FOnMyEvent) then FOnMyEvent(self, aData); end; // cc : assume that the TidTCPCLient is connected to the server // cc : so the FReadThreadComponent will always get the data from TidTCPClient procedure TMyComponent.ReadThreadComponentRun(Sender :TidThreadComponent) var l_readBytes : TIdBytes; l_processdata : string; begin FClient.IOhandler.ReadBytes(l_ReadBytes, -1, false); if length(l_readBytes) = 0 then exit; {There are some headers to remove from the l_readBytes l_processData := ProcessidBytes(l_readBytes); FProcessList.add(l_processData); end; // cc : this is another idThreadComponent that will take the first item from the myStringList // cc : and process it procedure TMyComponent.ProcessThreadComponentRun(Sender : TidThreadComponent); var l_data : string; begin // cc : take the first item from the MyStringList l_data := FProcessList.getFirstData; if (l_data[1] = '1') then DoMyEvent(l_data); end; In the main form TMainForm.MyComponentMyEvent(Sender : TObject; aData : string) begin TThread.Synchronize (nil, procedure begin // update the FMX Form UI button, grid etc. end); end; Now, the question is, if i DO NOT use the TThread.Synchronize, there will be problem updating the UI grid etc. What is the difference if i use the TThread. Synchronize and TThread.Queue Somehow, if i use the Synchronize function, it is slower in updating the UI than TThread.Queue. How can i make the UI updating more responsive? Am i doing it correctly or can anyone advise? Also there is some hanging issue whereby the function using the TThread.Queue can be called by Clipboard event. Maybe i will need to capture that event screen again

I agree with you. It is really a headache when dealing with Thread and synchronisation. In Indy TCP component, i need to use the Thread component to read the TCP socket constantly for data. When there is data, need to append to a buffer or memstream as network data does not come in nice chunk of data with start and end. Then we need to process that memstream for the appropriate data and remove the part of the data process from the memstream and add to another queue or List. Then we need to create another thread to process this List to send out events. Need to create the thread so that it will hog up the first thread that read data from the TCP component. In this processing thread, need to fire event based on the message. In this event, if there is a need to update the Main form UI, we need to use the TThread.Synchronize or TThread.Queue. If I were to update the data in memory, then i would not need to use TThread isnt it? <== Am i on the correct path? So, if i update the data in memory and i use the timer to refresh the Main form UI, Do i still need to use TThread.Synchronize or TThread.Queue? But using System.TTimer to refresh the data would have a lower priority in refreshing as if there are lots of data coming in on the TCPClient, the updates would use up the CPU and the timer will be set back to later time when the CPU is less busy isnt it? Please advise

Hi remy Ignore my last statement on the TThread.Queue can be called by Clipboard event. I am still trying to figure out why my application UI can hang or irresponsive when there is a large amount of data is received from the TidTCPClient. The TidThreadComponent will be busy processing and send out events to the MyEvent function as shown below TMainForm.MyComponentMyEvent(Sender : TObject; aData : string) begin TThread.Synchronize (nil, procedure begin // update the FMX Form UI button, grid etc. end); end; My app is then reported by windows task manager that it is not responding. How can i check where the problem lies? Is it at the TThread.Synchronized in the MyComponentMyEvent? I cannot click on any part of the application UI anymore. This is an FMX application running in Windows 32 bit. Would I not face any of this hanging issue if i change to a VCL application instead of FMX? Please advise regards Chris

Hi Currently i need to go back to maintain my source code written 10 years ago. when i tried to run IdHTTP.Head function, sometimes it would hang there and this caused my thread to hang there. What can i solve this "hanging" problem? Where can i download the latest Indy 9 (9.0.50) or Can i download Indy 10 to work with Delphi 6? please help regards chris

Hi Remy attached is the Computil which i compiled under Delphi 6 in win XP. regards chris Computil_compiledD6XP.zip

Finally managed to install Indy 10 on Delphi 6. I need to remove the indy60.bpl files from c:\windows\system32 as well as c:\program files\borland\delphi6\projects\bpl also remove all the indy*.bpl from those 2 directories and install the delphi 10 dpk file seems like need to install packages from different directories as compared to Indy9 Install the design package from Core then Protocol directory. Is this correct? regards chris

Hi I tried to install Indy 10.6.2 into Delphi 6. First I would need to recompile the CompUtils.dpr under delphi 6 running in Windows XP as i think the CompUtils.exe is not meant for Win XP. After compiling that into CompUtils.exe, i run the fulld_6.bat in terminal mode Once that has been done, Open the Delphi 6 and compile the package IndyCore60.dpk. When i tried to install it, it prompted me "Cannot load package IndySystem60. It contains unit IdWinSock2 which is also contained in Package Indy60." Then i recompile and install dclIndyCore60.dpk and it came out the same message. "Cannot load package IndySystem60. It contains unit IdWinSock2 which is also contained in package Indy60 Then i recompile and install IndySystem60.dpk and another message "Cannot load IndySystem60. It contains unit IdGlobal which is also contained in package Indy60. Where is Indy60 package? I tried to look for it but cant find it. please advise regards chris

hi attached is the code whereby it generated the error. The funny thing is that this app can run on other machines without error but only that particular machine. procedure TDataModule1.loadFilterTable; var l_str : string; l_ini : TIniFileEx; l_fieldList : string; begin if (trim(FFilterDay) = '') and (Trim(FFilterOthers) = '') then l_str := '' else if (Trim(FFilterDay) = '') and (Trim(FFilterOthers) <> '') then l_str := Trim(FFilterOthers) else if (Trim(FFilterDay) <> '') and (Trim(FFilterOthers) = '') then l_str := Trim(FFilterDay) else l_str := Trim(FFilterDay) + ' and ' + Trim(FFilterOthers); cdsDYNAFLTS.Close; qyDYNAFLTS.Close; if DataModule1.getLoginSuccess then begin try cdsDYNAFLTS.IndexName := ''; cdsDYNAFLTS.Filter := ''; cdsDYNAFLTS.Filtered := false; qyDYNAFLTS.SQL.Clear; l_Ini := TIniFileEx.create(ChangeFileExt(Application.ExeName, '.ini')); l_fieldList := l_ini.ReadString(DYNAFLTS_TABLE, INI_SECT_FIELDS, ''); // cc : if the field list is still empty, then make it a * if Trim(l_fieldList) = '' then l_fieldList := '*'; l_ini.Free; qyDYNAFLTS.SQL.Add('SELECT ' + l_fieldList + ' FROM ' + DYNAFLTS_TABLE ); if l_str <> '' then qyDYNAFLTS.SQL.Add(' WHERE ' + l_str); DoLog('LoadTableData2 SQL: ' + qyDYNAFLTS.SQL.Text); cdsDYNAFLTS.ProviderName := ''; cdsDYNAFLTS.ProviderName := 'dspDYNAFLTS'; cdsDYNAFLTS.Active := true; <== when open is called, the BeforeOpen will be logged.
