That site has been up for a week. You can work fast with Delphi, but you can't work magic.

How does this construct work on Windows? As expected?
-
Oh, that sounds great. For a test run, I downloaded the installer and am quite overwhelmed by the further needs (service user, SSL-certificate, Server) to run the "server". For a small test if my msix could be signed by this, it seems quite the overkill. 😞

I have, and that uses an older version of signtool: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit\signtool.exe" sign /v /a /fd SHA256 C:\Win\SignTest\Win64\Release\SignTest\bin\SignTest.msix The following certificate was selected: Issued to: My Company Issued by: Certum Extended Validation Code Signing 2021 CA Expires: Sat Jan 08 12:11:18 2028 SHA1 hash: E7C16794EA23F573DE3EA32B5B564717CE84CC75 Done Adding Additional Store SignTool Error: An unexpected internal error has occurred. Error information: "Error: SignerSign() failed." (-2147024885/0x8007000b) File version is 10.0.19041.685. I'm using 10.0.26100.0 which at least gives a slightly better error message.

I actually don't want to upload to the store. I need this to be able to create a Kiosk application for Windows 10/11. At least that is how I understand what I have found on the net so far. msix is not a must, but recommended. Also signed msix is not a must, but from a customers POV nice to have. Thanks @Patrick PREMARTIN for the /tr hint. I just shortened the command for ease of use. I really hope once the easy signature works, adding the time server will not be an issue.

Suggestions for new vendor of a delphi app?
Sherlock replied to Paul Dardeau's topic in General Help
Well, I might be way out on a limb here, but how your product was developed is of no concern to your potential customers. So just look how others have started their software business. Here is a reddit thread(?) on that subject. -
There are always remote connection possibilities as a compromise. I firmly believe an unfixed product can cost more than a trip for two guys, that know their stuff, to find out what the hell is going on.

Not much since 2022. Sadly I just now got interested in the subject. So I'm putting my hopes on @Mark NZs efforts.

Check If File is what he claim to be
Sherlock replied to mazluta's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
In all my years I saw this happen countless times and never had a name for it. Thank you. -
Programming with AI Assistance: A personal reflection.
Sherlock replied to Juan C.Cilleruelo's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
Thanks for the quick glance at the subject. I feel it to be important to know which AIs you have tried out though. Especially for the more specific tasks like bug hunting or performance tweaks. A comparison would have been cool, for any of those tasks which AIs shine and which don't. -
What does opinionated mean in this context?
-
The GExperts formatter or the built-in one? For the latter see here: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Formatter.EXE,_the_Command_Line_Formatter For the former, it should be as easy as calling GExpertsFormatter.exe <YOURFILE_HERE>

How do I close a modal form without ModalResult being set to mrCancel ?
Sherlock replied to dormky's topic in VCL
Yeah, I feel the question has been answered. Everybody should now move on...nothing to see here. -

Sherlock replied to dormky's topic in VCL
Luckily Delphi isn't the only IDE out there. Freedom of choice is a thing. -
I thought they had gone under, due to gross incompetence. But as one can see, that is no reason to die as a business anymore...quite the opposite even.
-
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
Sherlock replied to dummzeuch's topic in VCL
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. -

Sherlock replied to dummzeuch's topic in VCL
Perhaps draw invisible point belonging to the axis? -
New Code Signing Certificate Recommendations
Sherlock replied to James Steel's topic in General Help
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. -
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.
-
What does "work" mean in this case? No Compiler error?
-
Same here
-
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
Sherlock replied to Alberto Paganini's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
@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.
