  1. This is a crosspost from the german DP. Short question: How can I create an APPX using Delphi, when I have no means of accessing the PFX from the Certum Token? The Delphi options for distribution type "ad hoc" require a pfx file. What to do?

    Making both vertical axis visible at all times in TeeChart

    Visible but without data, best describes what I meant. I currently don't use TChart but had to, several years ago. I remember the necessity for trickery like that to reach the expected outcome. But my brain is not good at storing code...sorry.

    Perhaps draw invisible point belonging to the axis?

    New Code Signing Certificate Recommendations

    That would have been nice to know...but alas, just finished the verification process. Note to self: always read a thread to the end, before responding.

    Looking for a certain component

    Cosmetics aside, you should not store values in (visual) components. Store values in variables, class members or a database... not in a visual component. That is not its purpose. Try to avoid misuse of objects. For very small projects this might be OK. But overall and in real life this is not a way to go.

    Why doesn't this work?

    What does "work" mean in this case? No Compiler error?

    New patch is coming ?

    Same here

    Delphi 12.2 Patch 1

    Funny, I got "Don't bother installing Parnassus" on mine.

    Thank you for clarifying. I am pretty sure that goes for 90% of our members here as well.

    Buying a mini pc to install Delphi

    @Lars Fosdal What good are developer machines that run faster than light, when the average customer has the software running on what can only be described as a steam powered abacus? To test on a low end machine is the minimum, IMHO.

    tag as String

    I suggest to wait with bated breath to see what comes next... I fear a collection of bad ideas might not be such a good...idea.

    String memory usage

    There are no trivial questions for LLMs...or perhaps I should rephrase that: All questions are considered equally trivial by an LLM. Unless your specific number was covered in a publication it has scanned, it will "know" nothing about that number. Hell, it might even believe it to be your grandmas name, if you should claim so.

    Delphi 12.2 Patch 1

    Yeah, that part is no longer maintained and deprecated. There are at this time no formatters out there that can deal with every language feature 12.2 has to offer (multiline string literals - just to name one of them).

    Delphi 12.2 Patch 1

    Condolences...roll back your VM to before and remove Parnassus and forget about them they are not worth the hassle. Edit: But it still might be salvageable just in case you don't use that particular best practice.... I'm sifting through the heaps of parnassus related stuff.

    Delphi 12.2 Patch 1

    I'm unsure, because I never needed the bump myself
