    Why does IDE require UAC elevation when starting?

    Right click on bds.exe and check what its compat settings are too

    What do you think of "Local Global variables"

    I'm not sure that this is true.

    My opinions are independently formed though

    Not is the containing structured type is declared in the implementation section

    What do you think of "Local Global variables"

    Types can be declared inside structured types.

    Exit, Break and Continue are all good. No problem with them being used properly. These local variables that are shared between local functions are very different because they tend to have larger scope that is harder to manage.

    I always prefer to pass parameters because it makes it much clearer what the input/output of the function is. Usually the so called convenience you refer to just leads to obfuscation.

    I honestly can't make any sense of this text. Is it just me?

    This isn't the place to hire programmers is it

    Convert Visual Studio 2012 code to Delphi

    It seems unlikely that somebody will write your program for you. Why don't you pay a programmer to do it?

    Convert Visual Studio 2012 code to Delphi

    Doesn't seem like you want help. It seems like you want somebody to do it. I definitely recommend getting a programmer involved.

    Convert Visual Studio 2012 code to Delphi

    Maybe you need to get a programmer on your team?

    Convert Visual Studio 2012 code to Delphi

    Why not do this yourself? You could get some AI help to start, and then polish it up. If you want to pay somebody to do this there are plenty of online sites dedicated to facilitating that.

    Code for getting permissions not working in Delphi 11

    This looks like the tail wagging the dog.
  17. One thing I find odd is that you feel the need to change the behaviour of basic windows API functions. Why are you doing this?
  18. No. You detour the sysutils functions and all code in your process is impacted. Yes, detours.

    Proj finding wrong VCL

    This isn't going to be necessary because it will be under revision control

    Proj finding wrong VCL

    Is it possible that your installation has been corrupted. Why would there be Android files under Win64?

    The function of EmptyWorkingSet

    If you aren't using a swap file, where do those pages go when removed from the working set? I mean, these are pages allocated by your process. My best guess is that you did a benchmarking exercise that reached an incorrect conclusion and then you have continued using this function erroneously.
  22. If you can do this with detours then it's preferable by far

    The function of EmptyWorkingSet

    How are you measuring the performance degradation?
  24. Nobody really cares that much. It's a gruesome way to go. I'd solve the problem properly but you don't want to tell us what the problem is.
