How can i take a list of opened Delphi IDE and which one is the active when i do a double click in a .pas file?

Maybe misunderstood what i write or i write completely wrong. Let me be more specific. function Tfrm_custom_debug_info.RunCommand(Command: String): Boolean; var full: string; begin full := '/C '+ Command; ShellExecute(0, nil, 'cmd.exe', PChar(full) , nil, SW_HIDE); Self.Close; end; I have this function in my code. the command which is string is the full path of a .pas file. when the program is in runtime and run this function the .pas file opens in the last Delphi IDE i open. What i want to do here is. Get a list of all DELPHI IDE that running Somehow when i execute the function above open the .pas file in the DELPHI IDE i want choose from the list i get above. I think now be more specific. Thank you

The main reason to seek which Delphi IDE have the "control" to open files is not the double clicking. Is that when i am inside the project i made when i open a form then i get the class name and make with a key compination like ctrl+F1 to open the .pas file of the form. But when i have two Delphi IDEs open i cant sent it to open in the specific IDE to open instead that it opens in the last instance of Delphi IDE. Is there anyway to open this file at runtime from the specific Delphi IDE that i want and not the last one that opens? Thank you.

Hello... I install the Intraweb 14 and when i open Delphi 10.4 i get this error Can someone tell me how to fix this. Thank you,

Hello ... Try to add video files with TMediaPlayer and TMediaPlayerControl and always get "unsupported media file" for any video file type like *.avi, *.wmv or *.mp4. I install the latest K-Full media codecs and the problem remains the same. Anyone has some experience about TMediaPlayer? P.S. Even the MediaPlayerHD example provided from delphi not working. Thank you..

After 2 year ago and i have found no solution ... always get " unsupported media file "

Based to this Implementing Object Persistence using Streams i think i manage to save all the runtime created components of my form in a dat file. with this code when the form closes procedure TForm.FormClose(Sender: TObject; var Action: TCloseAction); var strm: TFileStream; vi: integer; begin strm := TFileStream.Create('MyComponentList.txt', fmCreate); for vi := 0 to ComponentCount - 1 do strm.WriteComponent(Components[vi]); strm.Free; end; Now how can i load all the components in FormCreate or In FormShow event. In tutorial can read-load a component by its name. So how can i get the name of all components in the dat file so i can read-load?

I think this is the best way. Thanks

Hi I am totally new to android development with delphi. I success to setup and deploy a simple program in my device. Now try to create a folder in Documents folder ->storage->0->Documents->myProject and put images and text files in it. But i dont know how. Any simple examples. And one more question how can i find if the Documents folder exists. Thank you

Hello I download an image from the internet and the author gives me the sha1, md5 and crc or the image to check if the download image is correct. 1. Can i take somehow the sha1 or md5 or crc of the downloaded image with delphi. 2. Can i do this with Turbo LockBox components. And if i can a simple example how to do this or a web site to explain. 3. Can i add different sha1 or md5 or crc in the same image Thank you

Thank you very much for all the help. If you have and html sites to read about md5 or sha1 or crc i appreciate.

begin myJoy := Tjoystick.Create(form1); myJoy.OnJoyMove <---- that how can i handle? end; thank you

I see that the best option is from winsoft components but i don't want to pay for a free program. I think the best way is to write a new one from the scratch.

Thank you remy i'll check it out. Btw do you know any good components or header for joystick either mmsystem or DInput or Xinput... Thank you again

Yes it triggered only one time hmmm Is there a change to have problem that i use FMX platform.

Thank you very much now i have the x and y for one time Now how can i handle x and y every time the program is on. Is it a good practice to put a timer and every x seconds runs the MyOnMoveHandler ?

I download and install successfully the new 10.3.2 Delphi CE Start a new VCL program Add a Stringgrid and load some data inside. Every ok in that stage. When i try to click inside the grid or in the column or everywhere inside the stringgrid i get the forbitten icon and i can't do anything. Did i miss something here or is a bug to new CE edition?

Hello, I am using the default ClientRest components the provide the Delphi Community 10.3.2. I manage to get and delete a file from a json server but i can't do a post. I try to post a new user to cscart based jsonserver here is the api wiki that tells how to manipulate the API. https://docs.cs-cart.com/latest/developer_guide/api/entities/users.html I don't know how to post the data needed for creation a user. Thank you.

Hello.. I finally manage to success a TSQLConnection with all the required params. Before i run my program i test it and change the connection from false to true. Add the password and it connects successfully. Return to True to False propertie. Try to run my program and i get the below message Am i doing something wrong or embarcadero have some default about dbexpress components and make me drive crazy?

After many tries and a lot of read i found that the dbExpress components simple aren't to stable. So i change to FireDac and everything works just fine. So please do not use dbExpress components at least for Interbase Database embedded. Thank you for all the awnsers.

Do you know any good links for very beginner in Interbase Like how to create a database Connect Show results ADD , Update, delete Staff like that Thank you

Thank you Markus

Try to add columns to Tstringgrid at run time with the code below var vStringColumn: TStringColumn; for vi := 0 to 15 do begin csCart.main.Grid.InsertObject(vi, TStringColumn.Create(vStringColumn)); ... end; But i get abstract error ... What i am doing wrong? I use Delphi 10.3.2

Ok i found it the right one is csCart.main.Grid.InsertObject(vi, TStringColumn.Create(csCart.main.Grid));

Try to connect to cscart Rest API Server The documentation here says that Uses Basic HTTP authentication so but the e-mail and the api-key must encode to base64 encoder. So i encode the email and api and try with the rest tool that embracedero provides. I add in the authentication tab the basic and in user name the encoded with base64 email and in the password the encoded with base64 Apikey. And returns that
