    Delphi 12 (Athens) - CustomTitleBar - fsMDIForm

    Well since MDI forms have experienced a major redo for D12, I would suggest looking there.
  2. Considering the 1337 attitude of some developers ("well written code is self explanatory") they might just have the best Delphi coders in the world... however, seeing as the RTL and VCL are very often a source of inspiration and for learning, I would also appreciate more well written comments. Perhaps not line for line, but at least stating the intent of the following code block or the reasoning why this way was chosen over another.
  3. This is always a very good idea, unless you are trying to develop something like hardware drivers.
  4. It has always been my understanding that you may continue to use the product after the license expires, you just wont get updates or assistance. But that cited text there reads quite troubling. You should be aware though, that there are different license agreements for different countries. So please make sure you are reading the correct one, concerning you and where you bought the license.

    ListView

    Well, it looks like the FMX.TListView might be able to do the trick...not VCL, mind you! For VCL follow @PeterBelow

    Unknown Delphi Version

    1. May I suggest to quickly edit the first question and translate the title to english 😉 2. The version in question is quite surely XE7 which for some people is also "just" 7.

    ListView

    Those are just TButtons with three dots in 'em. It is up to the programmer to react to the OnClick event and open up whatever dialog is desired.
  8. Fixed the title. Should the fix be wrong, or if it can be improved. Just holler.

    Unable to install Athens on new Windows 11 ARM

    Use Parallels? Even Microsoft only mentions Parallels in their FAQ regarding Windows 11 on ARM (https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-arm-based-pcs-faq-477f51df-2e3b-f68f-31b0-06f5e4f8ebb5)
  10. And the good news is: Yay!!!
  11. No worries, you're not the first, and definitely wont be the last.
  12. Hi @Chris1900 sorry about that. But please be aware that while this forum is focused on Embarcadero Delphi, it is neither owned or operated by or at Embarcadero. If you still experience some issues with this forum, please post a message in the community management section of this forum - found here: https://en.delphipraxis.net/forum/2-community-management/ or PM me.
  13. Yeah, I really hope so too. But having read the word reputation at least twice in this read just triggered the association.
  14. There is fitting german proverb for exactly this "Ist der Ruf erst runiniert, lebt es sich gänzlich ungeniert" Which roughly translates to "Once the reputation is shot you can live quite unabashedly" Soooo... I'm guessing they are headed in that direction. 😄
  15. For the Embarcadero Edition there seems to be only GetIt as a source, but you may try to contact their support.

    GetIt alternatives

    Moved this part of the discussion to here. Looked smoother.
  17. So...this seems to be just about the right time to create a new thread. Anyone looking for GetIt alternatives...please look here: Anything else concerning the unavailable Embarcadero services continues right here.

    GetIt alternatives

    Ah, Delphinus. I remember that. Awesome project! But alas, all free projects collide with some restrictions of other "free" projects (note the different frees here). The following part just made it to much of a hassle for me (I am really lazy): That ended my brief foray into this great project. But it seems really well thought through and implements many of the ideas posted in this thread. Only downside is the Github monoculture.

    Filtering ListBox Items

    Every single line of code you need is in your example...just remix it to do what you want. Edit: Or just take @Lajos Juhász code. But I strongly suggest trying to understand, what is being done there.

    Filtering ListBox Items

    Isn't it up to you which items you put in the list? "Any way" could also imply to just filter yourself.
  21. When this happens again try following what files are sought via ProcMon.

    Delphi 12 Welcome Page: Open Recent

    I too consider this to be a valid question for this forum. Alas I am unaware of any ways to change the behavior of this. Perhaps the Wuppdi welcome Page has something to offer?
  23. Oh, goody! I was actually looking for that, when I was interrupted....and forgot about it
