    The Advent of Code 2024.

    I would rather say that are 21 seconds (which is probably less than I actually need to just read the description). This is backed by this quote from the About text: Since the start time of each puzzle is way out of my awake periods a day, I can thankfully ignore the ranking system completely. This allows me to concentrate on finding a suitable solution, sometimes even a clever one.

    Application Loading incorrect bpl

    Is this folder is added to the PATH variable or how do you make Windows find those libraries? Also, which folder is given as the starting folder when you launch the application?

    My sLineBreak is not working

    A TEdit can only show one line. For multi-lines use a TMemo instead.

    Naming abbreviations for controls

    I try to omit the control type in the name in favor of the purpose the control is used for. F.i. instead naming a TLabel as lblSomething and a TStaticText as sttSomethingElse I use dspSomething, dispSomething or even displaySomething lately. Similar I give a TEdit, TMemo or TComboBox (if not in List style) a editSomething name, while a TRadioGroup, TLIstBox or TComboBox (when in List style) gets a name like selectSomething. The advantages are that these names usually stay as is when the controls are changing type and it contributes to documentation - at least a little bit.
  5. A bit tedious, but you can set a breakpoint by pressing F5 in each line from 2 to 7 and use F9 instead of F8. (Not that I would rate that a good solution, but my perception may be different than yours.)

    Why doesn't this work?

    With inline vars this works: Var Boy, Girl, Couple: string; But this does not: Var Boy: string; Girl: string; Couple: string;

    Why doesn't this work?

    You are using inline variables. Try moving the variables declaration before the begin. procedure TFormStringConcatenation.ButtonAddCoupleClick(Sender: TObject); Var Boy: string; Girl: string; Couple: string; begin Boy := EditEnterBoy.Text; Girl := EditEnterGirl.Text; Couple := Boy + ' and ' + Girl; ListBoxCouple.Items.Add(Couple);

    Upgrade Costs

    Could it be VAT?

    Switching off automatic Bookmarks?

    Well, MMX was born in 2001 and I assume the help is just as old.

    Switching off automatic Bookmarks?

    Sending is done via MAPI, so no special handling for some mailers. You can check or set the MAPI entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem/ and /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem/ for a REG_SZ value of 1. The help gives some information:

    TRESTClient encode issue

    Have you tried using ToString instead of ToJSON?

    Signotaur Code Signing Server - Looking for beta testers

    When you sell to larger companies? Definitely! Most likely they will never make it to be your customers.
  13. The TRecordA/TRecordB relation leads to a structure of infinite size. I would question the design choice, but having no knowledge of the underlying API that is not more than just a gut feeling. IMHO, you should use the approach that fits best. There is no general rule for all cases.
  14. The RSP issues are from the Old Quality Portal (now read-only). Although they are not visible in the New Quality Portal, they still exist in the internal tracking system.
  15. There was a change in V15.1.10 that prohibits the Auto-Scan until the search window is visible. I had a couple of reports about errors regarding hidden windows in this area. Seems I have to think about a more sophisticated fix for that. Perhaps prohibiting the display instead of the search would be more suitable.
