FreeAndNil() - The Great Delphi Developer Debate
Sherlock replied to AlexBelo's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
So, to wrap it up: Be a genius and have your decades old application rely on an object being available at all times. Or just double check to make sure. The penalty for that is being frowned upon by the real geniuses...or not. -
Non-Visual Component Caption Color / Transparency IDE

@Stano, please try to post in English. For the time being I have inserted a google translation into your post. Feel free to enhance it. -
2022 StackOverflow dev survey - salary results
Sherlock replied to Darian Miller's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
Please don't forget India... there is a (mostly monetary) reason why management considers outsourcing a good idea. -
I would suggest to look up TryStrToInt. But that is just the beginning. What happens if you add 1 to 999.9999? Are there rules for those grouping dots? If the dots are always at the same place you could remove them before conversion and put them back in after your math and reconversion to string.

Unemployably expensive? 🤪 -
In Python a \n usually does the trick. As per your example: caption = 'First line \n second line' Note that there is no need to concatenate the string.

All you need to do is calculate the correct size. No biggie.

Partial Serial Number Verification System in Firemonkey
Sherlock replied to ParodiusX's topic in FMX
Well, what are your problems? Any error message would be appreciated. Apart from that, have you tried your FMX build on the same Windows machine? Was it built with the same "bitness" (32-Bit or 64-Bit)? -
Side note: Considering the DBEdit in question is the 85th of its kind, and remembering the low scalability of LiveBindings I find that highly improbable.

Seriously, at this time all alarm bells should be going off, when entering the MIDA Converter site: No Certificate, no Imprint, last forum entry was April 2019. This is no place to buy anything from right now. Try to get your bank to cancel the money transfer.

Rounded polygon
Sherlock replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
Ok, so the points need to be hit, but the lines in between may be rounded. That might not be covered by splines to well. 😞 Well strike that, of course the Points will be hit. It is "just" a matter of choosing the controlpoints well to get a decent shape. But therein lies the rub I guess. -
Rounded polygon

From the Bézier curve you'll eventually have to move on to (Bézier) splines to get from a polygon to a bezigon. And not sure about VCL, but FMX has some Bézier procedures. Edith says: Naturally VCL has it, because MS has it: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Sydney/en/Vcl.Graphics.TCanvas.PolyBezier
