wuppdi Welcome Page for Delphi 10.4?
Sherlock replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
There are always at least three fingers pointing back...so, no worries. I'm laughing at my own code at a regular basis...and crying...drinking even. Oh dear. -
Will this server be open to the public? If so, please consider a finished, polished and most importantly relatively safe commercial/OS product. Though your token solution sounds good, it may not be once you have implemented it. Exposing yourself or maybe worse your customers like this should be given a lot of thought - and know how. First off, you should use FTPS or SFTP, not plain old FTP. If I had to, and I mean really head to, I would use FileZilla and for each user their own folders, without possibility to get out of that (resulting most likely in a Linux file system). Then into every folder a sym link (or whatever the're called) to the files they may retrieve.

Make Messages TOOL WINDOW remain always visible after Build/Compile
Sherlock replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
All I can say is, it works for me. Sorry. @dummzeuch GExperts for 10.4 is there? Good job!! -
Make Messages TOOL WINDOW remain always visible after Build/Compile
Sherlock replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
And you did save it as your default desktop (Standard-Layout), not the debug desktop? -

Sherlock replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Isn't that something you can just save using the desktop settings? Edith says: Yes, it is. -
The reasons not to install under "Program Files" being? - Small as possible system drive, separate data/app drive - Constant need for unencumbered w/r access to "Program Files" Just curious.

Main question here should be: What happens to tools installed via GetIt? Will they be broken for 10.3.3?

I have basic settings right in my application...for windows. In iOS the settings are in the iOS settings. For the more advanced settings, that users should not meddle with, I have an administrative web page. And the even deeper stuff has to be done by my support team in a Linux-shell.

TIP: Reporting bugs for RAD Studio / Delphi
Sherlock replied to Lars Fosdal's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
This is actually true for all software products, so I pinned this. -
Then perhaps a "Mainform.Show" will do the trick?
-
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

TThread.Sleep in iOS/android background mode threads, what to choose ?
Sherlock replied to Rollo62's topic in Cross-platform
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. -
TThread always raises OS Errror
Sherlock replied to pyscripter's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
I wish I had that amount of spare time. I would enjoy more walks in the sun. *sigh* -
Record Circular References
Sherlock replied to Bernard's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
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 -
When computers try to be clever
Sherlock replied to dummzeuch's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
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
