It's not scary...it's human readable 

It's used extensively in the micro services world along with the radix (trie) tree. BTW, anyone knows any implementation of that one?

Hi,

I am looking for a parser for Relaxed JSON (http://www.relaxedjson.org)

Does anyone have and willing to share?

Thanks

How can I edit the URL? and what is the updated URL?

Any chances GetIT is back for 10.3.1 this century?

I came across this library and thought to share. 

It offers management of time zones if anyone is interested.

I haven't heard anything from them for the last 2 days.

Something else----when the play console shows warnings, does this mean the app is not being published?

Hi all,

I am setting up a new startup company to produce software for education. 

I am looking for someone with experience in product management who will act as advisor. At the moment there is no budget for salary or fees but I am very happy to give away a percentage of the company.

The role will not involve any development but I want to have someone to discuss technological choices, directions and  decisions. 

If you are interested please drop me an email. I am happy to have a call or a skype chat.

Thanks

John

I installed 10.3.2 and the installation was completed successfully.

Now, I open the IDE, create a new application (no matter what type), hit run with debugging. All well here.

Then, I close the app and the IDE goes back to the (non-debug) layout but the run/debug buttons are disabled.

When I try to compile/build/run the app again I get the dialog box saying that there is an active debugging process and if I want to terminate/detach/etc.

The Task Manager doesn't show the app running so I think the debug hooks somehow are not destroyed.

What can I do to resolve this? 

Unbelievable...the bring to back works

Thanks @f.m

@Bill Meyer Can't find any relevant properties.

The FlowGrid should expose the Controls property but sadly it doesn't

So, they can't be swapped designtime? I need to it in code?

Hi everyone,

I would like to share with you that my new book has reached the production stage and will be available in September by Apress.

The book is about Object Relational Mapping in Delphi and explores TMS Aurelius-- and excellent ORM solution for Delphi developers.

I would, also, like to cordially thank Wagner Landgraf and Nick Hodges who were the tech reviewers of the manuscripts.

Nick (who does not need any introductions) always shares his deep experience and has been very supportive while I was writing this book.

Wagner (the creator of TMS Aurelius) has been guiding me with his expertise and suggestions to produce a presentation of Aurelius based on real-life situations.

Thank you both.

I hope you enjoy the book and I am looking forward for your feedback.

Regards,

John

Hi,

does anyone know how to change the order of components in a TFlowLayout?

Trying to drag/drop them or change the position but no luck

How about if you locate a simple form in your project, add a new form, copy all the components from the old form to the new one and remove the old form. Maybe you will manage to trick the compiler.

Another thought...do you change the name of the form? maybe some kind of name conflict? like a form and a frame? 

Also, I guess it is impossible to create a new project and drag/drop/add all the forms/units?

Haven't tried yet as the setup is running now for hour(s)....

Hopefully it will finish any time soon

• IDE Fix Pack throws an error so the compiler was changed, however compiling without appears as if its much slower than 10.3.1

This error always shows. Uninstall/reinstall Fix pack or even better uninstall it before upgrading to 10.3.2

When they say "Feature Installer" do they mean the "Web Installer"?

Also see this https://chee-yang.blogspot.com/2015/12/delphi-multi-threading_4.html#remove-completed-itask-instance-reference-from-task-list

The example with the dataset

Check what @Der schöne Günther says about TCanvas. This operation should ALWAYS take place in the main thread

Also, what is happenng in LibNavForm? When you assign thumbBitmapDark to thumbBitmapDarkL, how do you enter a critical section? The code implies that you perform a normal assignment. 

I don't know how you store (if you do) bitmaps in LibNavForm. What I found helpful is to store bitmaps in TThreadList and access them from there.

@Sue King Thanks. will have a look

FlexCel reads/writes only XLS files, doesn't it?

I will have another look again. Thx

For anyone who is interested, I contacted CData and they told me their FireDac components do not support FMX at all. Disappointing...

TStringlist has DelimitedText and CommaText properties that works for many CSV files, free and one line of code.  However it treats spaces as a delimiter, so I use a minor variant that also always writes delimiters.

 

Angus

You need to set StrictDelimiter:=true to force TStringList to use only the DelimiterChar and not the spaces

@ertank Hi, sorry I missed that. I am looking for a FMX component.

I'll have a look at scalabium. Maybe they have one. Thanks

Hi all,

I need to add CSV import functionality in an app and before I write it myself I thought to have a look at CDATA's CSV component. 

One thing I am not clear after checking their website; is it a FMX or VCL component? Anyone has used it?

Thanks
