Windows versions supported by older Delphis
Anders Melander replied to Peter J's topic in General Help
It does but the Win32 API is declared delay-load and the RTL resolves it dynamically with fallback to GetTickCount if it isn't available. I also believe Indy uses it but with a similar dynamic fallback. Winapi.Windows.pas function GetTickCount64; external kernel32 name 'GetTickCount64' delayed; // 6.0 System.Classes.pas function InitGetTickCount64: UInt64; stdcall; begin if TOSVersion.Major >= 6 then begin var kernelLib: THandle := LoadLibrary(kernel32); GetTickCount64Func := GetProcAddress(kernelLib, 'GetTickCount64'); FreeLibrary(kernelLib); end else GetTickCount64Func := @Winapi.Windows.GetTickCount; Result := GetTickCount64Func; end; -
Windows versions supported by older Delphis
Anders Melander replied to Peter J's topic in General Help
The required Windows version really depends on the the VCL features you use. If you're using something that is only available in Windows 10 then naturally your application will use Windows 10 specific APIs. Otherwise it will not. -

Anders Melander replied to Peter J's topic in General Help
You seem to be confusing "target" and "run on". In theory, all 32-bit compilers can target any 32-bit version of Windows and all 64-bit compilers can target any 64-bit version of Windows. That page just document the IDE requirements and it doesn't really reflect the reality; Before I upgraded to Windows 10 I had been running Delphi 10, 11 and 12 on Windows 7 with no issues. The installer complains but it ran just fine. -
Code signing in a remotely working team?
Anders Melander replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in General Help
No, I can't see it from the sigmycode site either. I'm positive that I read somewhere on the digicert site that you had to use 2-factor-authentication using a USB token but I could very well have misunderstood the context. -

TMI; People tend to ignore walls of text. Log operations on the server instead so they can be examined by those who care. -

Looks good - and I like the name. Sufficiently distinct to be googleable. -

Anders Melander replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in General Help
Oh, nice. I didn't know you could do that. It's a real PITA that we have to jump through all these hoops with the physical tokens and the fact that a solution like yours, which is basically a work around, is even possible proves that it was all in vain. But I guess somebody made a lot of money selling the tokens. -

Anders Melander replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in General Help
Let me guess: The client transmits the file to be signed to the server, and the server (which has the physical token) then signs the file and transmits it back to the client. -

...once they have signed in with an USB token. I don't think you can get around the requirement for the signer to have some kind of physical identification device. -

Anders Melander replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in General Help
Hmm. Okay. I obviously don't know how your build server setup was, or what build system you used, but it should have been possible to completely isolate the different projects. Independent projects, with different developers, tools, etc. on the same build server is nothing out of the ordinary. Anyway, if you are working on different projects, and don't want a centralized solution, then why not just use different certificates? -

Anders Melander replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in General Help
There's your problem. You should use a single central build server instead of delegating the build task to individual developers. If you don't have a central server which can function as a build server, at least designate one of the developers as the "build master". -
Thanks. I just meant this: procedure TReptTextEditor.FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState); begin case Key of VK_F1: if Shift=[] then Application.HelpCommand(HELP_CONTEXT,HelpContext); VK_F10: if (ssAlt in Shift) then PopupMenu1.Popup(Left+100,Top+100); end; end; ...and that looks okay.

loading a .jpeg to a via stream timagelist at runtime

Use TJPEGImage.LoadFromStream to load from the stream Copy the TJPEGImage to a TBitmap using TBitmap.Assign Add the TBitmap to the TImageList using the usual methods -
Only 2 GB available despite IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE
Anders Melander replied to dummzeuch's topic in Windows API
Full working set does not mean out of memory; We have virtual memory. Can you explain why increasing the working set solved your problem? https://aviationhumor.net/russians-we-paid-whole-runway-we-use-whole-runway/ -

Question about Delphi class (static) constructor
Anders Melander replied to wuwuxin's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
He was wrong. -
I think Cristian is on 11.3 If someone else, other than me (where it works), could check with 12.2 it would be great.
-
Strange. Works for me. Also with 150% What I am seeing though (with 11.3 only), is that if I drop the list by clicking on the left half of the dropdown arrow, and then close the list with another click, then the open dialog is invoked. Dropping the list with a click on the right half works as expected.
-
I just tried with 11.3 and it works exactly the same. Maybe I'm just not understanding what problem your are experiencing. I'm on Windows 10, BTW.
-
I'm curious; What's the purpose then?
-
Works for me with Delphi 12.1 at 175%
-
No comments on why it shrinks but I don't think your Sleep(100) does what you think they do. Your main thread isn't doing anything while the Sleep executes so if the purpose was to let it process the messages generated by mouse_event then you will have to do that some other way. Application.ProcessMessages *shudder* comes to mind.

The BEST template engine for generating webpages on the server side?
Anders Melander replied to Edwin Yip's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
Why apologize when you are doing it on purpose? -
Is your form modal? If not, do you have a TAction on the mainform with the shortcut [Del] ? KeyPreview is a property on the form. Unless you are intercepting keystrokes on the form there is no reason to have KeyPreview=True. If you need KeyPreview=True then the problem might be that your event handler eats the [Del] key. Show us your code.

Watch me coding in Delphi on YouTube
Anders Melander replied to silvercoder79's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
That depends on the brain; Some people prefer to read and some prefer to watch a video. I also think it depends on the subject. Highly technical topics, reference material, and so on, are better in writing because we need them to be precise and unambiguous. But video is fine for entry level stuff and conceptual material. I know that very few of our end-users ever read the documentation (they never notice when it falls behind) but the how-to videos get quite a lot of views and feedback.
