    WinInet coding for Windows XP

    According to the msdn, this is the meaning of the error number: This of course could mean, that your XP can't communicate with the https server you are trying to contact...or anything else that might go wrong with a severely outdated system trying to communicate within a network.
  2. I finally got around to installing 10.3.3 and now I get this message every time I quit Delphi: --------------------------- Anwendungsfehler --------------------------- Exception EAssertionFailed in Modul GExpertsRS103.dll bei 00055131. Call DeactivateFontsInfo before calling this. (D:\source\_sourceforge\GExperts\externalsource\UniSynEdit\SynTextDrawer.pas, Zeile 475). --------------------------- OK --------------------------- I have been getting a more generic error ever since 10.2 but kind of got used to it. This now is more specific and I'll report it to the GExperts bug tracker as well.
  3. Sorry about that, totally overlooked that report.

    IDE title bar anomaly?

    The VS and the AutoCAD toolbars look self drawn, not OS drawn with some decoration glued on them. However, I don't see the Delphi issue on my 100% screen.

    IDE title bar anomaly?

    😱 I think we should better get back on track...

    IDE title bar anomaly?

    Maybe errors are the norm and what we consider to be correct is the true error.

    IDE title bar anomaly?

    Same in 10.3.2, possibly even in 10.3.1.

    Alt-sortcuts are not always the same

    Sorry, but no. You very aptly described hotkeys. An example for a shortcut is Ctrl+C to cut a marked object. The corresponding Hotkey sequence could be Alt+E to enter the Edit Menu then C to copy. Or to use your screenshot: a possible hotkey sequence to close all files would be Alt+F, L. The shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+F12.

    Develop with IOS emulator

    I think installation to the physical iDevice would have to be done via Testflight. Not sure if your physical iDevice can be connected to the virtual cloud Mac. @limelect How old exactly are we talking here? iOS 11 should be minimum, better 12.

    Develop with IOS emulator

    Well you don't need the Mac physically. You can rent a Mac in a cloud for example here: https://www.macincloud.com/

    You need a Mac. the simulator is part of XCode, which only runs on a Mac.

    [legal] Need help with Packet Sniffer in Delphi

    Guys, the german DelphiPraxis has a no-cheat-tool-policy. I'm pretty sure that applies to the english version here as well. So...sniffing is almost OK, modifying must be discussed elsewhere, please.
  17. So I have this application, that runs smoothly on a standard PC, and does quite well on a tablet too. With one exception, the virtual keyboard causes quite the headache. Not only does Windows seem to have two different virtual keyboards, they behave quite differently too: First there is the keyboard that has to be actively opened by the user by clicking on the symbol in the tray area. This works fine, but has the disadvantage of "an additional click". (Image 1) Then there is a keyboard (image 2) that can be opened automatically when FMX.Types.VKAutoShowMode := TVKAutoShowMode.Always; is set. According to the fine manual this will cause the virtual keyboard to show even if there is a physical keyboard present. So as soon as the focus is set on an editable component like TEdit, this keyboard will popup and as soon as said component looses focus the keyboard will disappear. Now here's the tricky part: This keyboard looks different, and on some machines (HP tablets with an i5) takes ages (at least 30 seconds) to "pop up". On my VM that I'm running on a Mac with an i7, this happens instantly. Any user who knows iOS will consider option 1 to be "out of the question" so I use option 2, but for the life of me am not able to speed up the virtual keyboard popup process. This might just become a deal breaker, hence this post. TL;DR: Does anyone here have experience with virtual keyboards on Windows tablets, and knows how to open them up quickly on slower systems? Thanks, Sherlock
  18. Great! Thank you, I'll give that a try.
  19. Hmmm, I don't quite follow. Could you please elaborate?
  20. Guys! Please! I'm trying to work here! Now I have to go get a roll of Kleenex to clean the coffee from my monitors and keyboard... Thank you very much.

    How to restore Windows Store

    Why don't you just recover from the backup you made before this experiment?

    Debugger in 10.3.3 is useless :'(

    Just a reminder for the next time anyone installs a Delphi update: TAKE A SNAPSHOT OF THE VM. And if you don't use a VM...reconsider and then just use one from now on. The hassle is reduced to a minimum.

    Delphi 10.3.3 CE IDE issues

    It is strange though that this is having such an impact when switching from 10.3.2 to 10.3.3, don't you think @Dalija Prasnikar?
