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
Sherlock replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
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 -
The FireMonkey Low Code App Wizard has problem on Delphi 11.1
Sherlock replied to RP286's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
Since this is code generated by the IDE, you should create a call for this right here https://quality.embarcadero.com/login.jsp. They just might be unaware that this error occurs. Edith says: Have not been able to log in right away, but there already is a call open for this: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-37338 -
2022 Stack Overflow Developer Survey
Sherlock replied to Darian Miller's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
My guess is, next year they'll ask about sex in the workplace and need to set up possible combinations... But joking aside I participated in the survey too. -
I found the only integration into the IDE I consider useful is the LiveBlame feature from VersionInsight.

Well... Google has a tendency to scrap even well used projects out of the blue. And just because something is being developed by Google doesn't make it a great thing...I feel quite contrarily, but maybe I just hate ads a bit more than others.

Well, we are the most important...

Someone at Embarcadero was sleeping ...and by the looks of it still is. https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-37609 There seems to be a workaround for this issue though. Check the comments in that RSP.

Parnassus Bookmarks for Delphi 11 Alexandria?
Sherlock replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
This is really saddening. -
Perhaps this SO question can help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36123333/which-method-is-getting-called-when-app-is-opened-by-push-notification-clicked

Looking for photography enthusiasts for continuing a camera calibrator project (CoCa)
Sherlock replied to hurodal's topic in I made this
You forgot the "...which in turn import a ton of more libraries all of which may or may not contain some serious security issues" part 😉 -
EULA declined installing 11.1 with Network Named license
Sherlock replied to Lachlan Gemmell's topic in General Help
Apart from the obvious TLS 1.3? -
I'm OK, guys, thanks for asking. Not Corona, but I've spent some time in the hospital nonetheless.

Ummmm... Yeah: https://images.app.goo.gl/2Xcd1gMuLncGModL6

I'm afraid in this case your Delphi version might be outdated.

Opinions about Pascal vs C/C++ IDE

Well, I just copy my SD Master for redistribution...but, why not? -

Thats why we have things like Docker. -
Developing under Windows 11 in a VM not feasible ?
Sherlock replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in General Help
Well cancel Windows 11 then. No need for it anyway. Only for testing. Some folks still use WinXP, being stuck on Win10 till MS comes to their senses seems not that long. -
When you compare Embarcaderos product portfolio with Microsofts you should notice some ridiculous differences as well. You just can't make that much money on selling IDEs or developer tools alone. Please get real. Office Suites alone generate a much higher income, add an OS to that and giving away an IDE for practically nothing seems to barely make a dent in the profits.

In the past I used one of the many free online services for my icons (not that I needed many, only two sets). Appiconmaker, app icon generator and so forth are handy google arguments. What they lack is the start screen thing, nice addition. What none have or even consider, is the use of a different icon for those small ones, where scaled down big images just look mushy and ugly. See here for more info on that subject.

Well, first of all, none of the libraries are closed source, every licensee may/can/should take a look at the RTL or VCL code. Furthermore there are some really smart fellows looking at that code, who develop some stuff I for one can't even begin to understand. So I'm pretty sure the comments don't come out of the blue and are not simply made to disrespect. They are heartfelt cries of pain and sorrow.

Ummm. to complicated for that small stroll off of the beaten path. Let's all just try to get back on topic.
