Please don't forget India... there is a (mostly monetary) reason why management considers outsourcing a good idea.

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.

I have 25+ years Delphi experience programming professionally. What does that work out to? 😉

 

Unemployably expensive? 🤪

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.

But is it unpatchable?

I just patched it...

Here's a different link: https://pacmanattack.com/

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

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

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)?

or is the TEdit bound to the data source by LiveBindings ? (Right click on the TEdit and select BindVisually....)

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Agreed, however you don't have to answer all of those.. most have a prefer not to say option. I really don't know why they need to ask about my sexuality etc 🙄 

My guess is, next year they'll ask about sex in the workplace and need to set up possible combinations...

But joking aside I participated in the survey too.

I found the only integration into the IDE I consider useful is the LiveBlame feature from VersionInsight.

Unlike fmx Skia is developed by Google. They have more resources and ..... (I cannot write here that unlike Embarcadero most probably they will keep it stable).

Well... Google has a tendency to scrap even well used projects out of the blue. And just because something is being developed by Google doesn't make it a great thing...I feel quite contrarily, but maybe I just hate ads a bit more than others.

What's the sense in such surveys gathered from 20-30 guys?

Well, we are the most important...

Someone at Embarcadero was sleeping ...and by the looks of it still is. https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-37609

There seems to be a workaround for this issue though. Check the comments in that RSP.

This is really saddening.

Perhaps this SO question can help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36123333/which-method-is-getting-called-when-app-is-opened-by-push-notification-clicked

To what end? As a form of global TearDown?

You forgot the "...which in turn import a ton of more libraries all of which may or may not contain some serious security issues" part 😉

Are there any particular security update, unavailable for Windows 7, that you can't do without?

Apart from the obvious TLS 1.3?

I'm OK, guys, thanks for asking. Not Corona, but I've spent some time in the hospital nonetheless.
