    How to hide "block highlighters" ?

    I'm guessing you write about structural highlighting. The link to the manual should clarify. On second thought, you might have 3rd party tools like CnPack installed. That has such an option as well.
  2. The really fine manual states this behavior as being as expected.

    When execute, this error appears

    Check what is entered in the field labeled "né". This can not be converted to a date. I'm guessing that is a TMaskEdit. You should only try to convert its contents, when it is filled with data. By the way, this applies to all other date fields...and perhaps even more.

    Scaley drawings

    OK you'll need: uses FMX.Types, FMX.BehaviourManager, FMX.Platform; And even if you only develop for yourself, you should consider different DPI and scaling in your application because you might treat yourself to a monitor with higher resolution at some point.

    Scaley drawings

    Have you tried your code on Windows set to 150% or any other scale? You need to find out, what the DisplayMetrics are and react accordingly. I use something like this if TBehaviorServices.Current.SupportsBehaviorService(IDeviceBehavior, DeviceBehavior, Context) then begin DisplayMetrics := DeviceBehavior.GetDisplayMetrics(Context); Scale := DisplayMetrics.ScreenScale; ppi := DisplayMetrics.PixelsPerInch; end else ShowMessage('Help?!');

    iPhoneOS15.X.sdk

    I'm afraid that is a waste of time. It's not just the SDK that is needed here. Code signing by a specific XCode release is checked by Apple as well.

    iPhoneOS15.X.sdk

    If you only need the mac sporadically or for barely more than XCode code signing consider a service like macincloud.com

    MacOS: How to remove ambiguous Developer ID certificates?

    Strange. You probably should contact Apple about that.

    Windows XP App

    Microsoft used to offer outdated OSes such as XP in virtual machines to test websites on different IE versions. Seems these VMs are gone though...you could try archive.org however.
  10. So, to wrap it up: Be a genius and have your decades old application rely on an object being available at all times. Or just double check to make sure. The penalty for that is being frowned upon by the real geniuses...or not.
  11. @Stano, please try to post in English. For the time being I have inserted a google translation into your post. Feel free to enhance it.
  12. Please don't forget India... there is a (mostly monetary) reason why management considers outsourcing a good idea.

    Split String

    I would suggest to look up TryStrToInt. But that is just the beginning. What happens if you add 1 to 999.9999? Are there rules for those grouping dots? If the dots are always at the same place you could remove them before conversion and put them back in after your math and reconversion to string.
  14. Unemployably expensive? 🤪

    Add #13#10 to a string

    In Python a \n usually does the trick. As per your example: caption = 'First line \n second line' Note that there is no need to concatenate the string.

    macOS where to save downloaded executable?

    And the OS may interject as well, asking the user to verify that it may execute this downloaded file.

    GUI are not the same size

    All you need to do is calculate the correct size. No biggie.

    Partial Serial Number Verification System in Firemonkey

    Well, what are your problems? Any error message would be appreciated. Apart from that, have you tried your FMX build on the same Windows machine? Was it built with the same "bitness" (32-Bit or 64-Bit)?

    How is text being saved to the database?

    Side note: Considering the DBEdit in question is the 85th of its kind, and remembering the low scalability of LiveBindings I find that highly improbable.

    Vcl to Fmx

    Seriously, at this time all alarm bells should be going off, when entering the MIDA Converter site: No Certificate, no Imprint, last forum entry was April 2019. This is no place to buy anything from right now. Try to get your bank to cancel the money transfer.

    Rounded polygon

    Ok, so the points need to be hit, but the lines in between may be rounded. That might not be covered by splines to well. 😞 Well strike that, of course the Points will be hit. It is "just" a matter of choosing the controlpoints well to get a decent shape. But therein lies the rub I guess.

    Rounded polygon

    From the Bézier curve you'll eventually have to move on to (Bézier) splines to get from a polygon to a bezigon. And not sure about VCL, but FMX has some Bézier procedures. Edith says: Naturally VCL has it, because MS has it: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Sydney/en/Vcl.Graphics.TCanvas.PolyBezier
  24. Since this is code generated by the IDE, you should create a call for this right here https://quality.embarcadero.com/login.jsp. They just might be unaware that this error occurs. Edith says: Have not been able to log in right away, but there already is a call open for this: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-37338
