    Currency Calculations

    "Material is not a valid floating point value" Ask yourself why you are trying to convert the text Material to a numeric value. Do you know why yet??

    When will we have a 64-bit IDE version ?

    This seems extremely optimistic

    Currency Calculations

    Set a break point on the line where the error occurs. When the code breaks there inspect the value of the argument passed to StrToCur.

    Currency Calculations

    The error message seems quite clear. Do you know how to use the debugger to inspect vakues being passed to StrToCurr?

    But is anybody going to get paid and have any job security?

    It would really help if we could down vote issues as well as up vote them

    Delphi TOIOBE index lifted in May 2022?

    I'm quite sure that the people at TIOBE are driven night and day by their intense feelings of envy towards Delphi. I really can't imagine they think about anything else.

    VLC Player 64bit

    I know what the problem is. My point is that a negative value in a signed integer that is actually holding a pointer, does not imply that a 64 bit value was stored in a 32 bit type.

    VLC Player 64bit

    Negative integer wouldn't be a problem per se. A DLL loaded between 0x80000000 and 0xffffffff would be negative when interpreted as a signed integer.

    Win32, Win64, WinRT and now... WinARM ?????

    32 bit version of MATLAB hasn't existed for at least 5 years

    Win32, Win64, WinRT and now... WinARM ?????

    I compared an XPS13 with Macbook Air 13 and the Macbook, 16GB RAM, 512Tb and the prices are £929 vs £1,649. Looking at 32/1Tb the comparison is £1,400 vs £2,000 and the Macbook only has 24Gb because there is no 32Gb option, at least where I am. Perhaps I'm missing something. Is this comparison flawed? Also worth noting that, unless I'm mistake, none of the Macbooks have touch screen displays. You can get a swanky touch screen on the XPS13 and still have a few hundred pounds of change compared to the price for the non touch Mac. I must be missing something.

    I asked a question because I am curious. Do you know the answer?

    ARM has to win in the end at least for portable devices.

    SBOM tool for Delphi

    There are commercial tools to support this. I sure websearch will find them. As soon as you link to anything that isn't delphi then the desire for a tool for Delphi is a bit pointless.

    What is the benefit of sorting the Uses clause?

    Although the real problem is the language design that makes this order affect the meaning of the program.
  24. OK. Well I'm glad this thread has been useful!!!
  25. I've no idea what your requirement is and what the problem is. You don't seem to understabd how floats work. I don't think this is going to be productive.
