Not on iOS. And I see no need, except for "my notification has to look fancier than the others" which is a design flaw because to some users that translates to "looks annoying" others would consider it "not fancy enough" and still others would like to get that notification in their own style. That is not the iOS way. iOS is, at least in that respect, KISS.

That is something different, that is a (push) notification. Please read the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/APNSOverview.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008194-CH8-SW1 and more specifically Delphi: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Rio/en/Multi-Device_Application_to_Receive_Push_Notifications

Did those two devices run the same Android version? Concerning iOS AFAIK the OS will suspend an App that has been moved to the background in a short time, if it is not registered as an App that needs to stay alive (i.e. for navigation). Correct handling of that situation is to store the momentary state of ones App and load that state at reactivation. In my opinion there is no need to sleep, just handle the events efficiently.

I wish I had that amount of spare time. I would enjoy more walks in the sun. *sigh*

A second rate language that compiles fast as hell...at least for Windows. Now I wonder why 😉

Patient: Doctor, my eye hurts, when I poke it. Doc: Well then don't poke it. 😄

From Denali to Sydney...way to go further than anyone in these days of no flying

I actually know of this feature, and am not ashamed to admit that I have used it. But it was a long time ago. The pains you have to go through to debug GExperts would have gotten me to quit frustratedly, I am not very patient with "hobby projects". How hard would it be to embed GEXperts into a mockup to debug? Basically all plugin developers could unite and profit from this. Sherlock

I shut it down every day. Have done so since... well, always. You just can't get windows to behave as expected unless it's been freshly rebooted.

Yeah, I got this too. I choose to ignore it, because I can't change it. I need or rather want all the plugins I use. Only thing bugging me about that error is, Windows wont shut down until it is "clicked away". But I got used to that.

I stand by this post It is not possible as it is not what Microsoft wants you to be able to do. Anything to achieve this goal is a hack that may or may not cease to work after the next OS update. It is a waste of time and money. So just stop pursuing this and ask your users to set it manually. Write it in your manual, or some MessageBox, and also mention that you can not support any installation, where this is not set accordingly.

Ahaa, that looks like this: WindowsProductName WindowsVersion OsHardwareAbstractionLayer ------------------ -------------- -------------------------- Windows 10 Pro 1909 10.0.18362.752

I have pen entry enabled...and it's in German. Maybe one or both of them are responsible for the build number?

Where would I see that?

Not fast ring...just install as soon as it's out. It is on a VM, so I can undo whatever crap happens

My Windows says it installed 1909 on Feb 5th. My current build no. is 18363.815.... no perceptible issues in the last (almost) 3 months.

Have you tried it? There is a german proverb "Probieren geht über studieren" it roughly translates to "Trying is better than researching".

It is included. https://www.atozed.com/intraweb/bundled/10-3-rio/

@Tntman How does this perform in high security client networks, that usually block the internet?

It does, I connect to medical devices, whose output the users want to see on my client software. They may install as many copies as they like, but have to pay for each signalprocessor . Which is why I actually make money with a Python project...not with Delphi

I trust my customers...and it only works with a peace of hardware (not a dongle, a signal processor). 😉

All hail monocultures and monopolies. That said, have you waited the estimated two weeks for your reconsideration review to be approved or denied? If so, what was their answer? If not, all you can do is wait. And no, this is not the start of Googles war on desktop software. It's what you get, when one provider of a common product gets an overwhelming share of the market - they become cocky.

Oh, come on. That is not really an issue, it's just a No-No. Just like not changing some Label on a form from a thread without synchronizing. Just don't do it, and you will not get into trouble.

Firstly for the nomenclature: That is called the notification area. It used to be known as the system tray. When icons are added they land in the overflow section of the notification area automatically. Now, what is it you want to do? Do you as a user want to tell your windows to keep all icons in the notification area visible at all times? Or do you as a developer want to keep your own apps icon visible? For the former there is a solution I'm actually missing in your settings screenshot. There should be a switch to always display all icons in the notification area. Please see my screenshot for that...german, sorry, but you should get the gist of it. If it's the latter, I believe that to be impossible unless you write a Microsoft application...

I don't think they are badly done. The are just stuck in time... Back in the day - you know, when COM was invented - interfaces where the go-to thing to get COM up and running in a Delphi project. Together with reference counting and GUIDs and stuff. Plus they allow for multiple inheritance. So, all ended there. Interfaces are feature complete... at least from a 90s POV. In comes a person used to a 00s language such as C# and there you have it: "I need this", "I don't know why I have to do that" etc. Programmer millenials...
