What graphic class is image? You can retrieve that from imgPerson.Picture.Graphic.Classname

In that case changing that field value inside the program seems a pretty rare case. The shown queries give the impression that some dummy fields are returned with no relation to the data in the database. As there are better ways to create such fields in the program it makes the query the wrong place for it.

Exactly! The approach used in the query is just the wrong one.

That's correct. So we need to know the Delphi version being used.

What about using TDBImage instead of TImage?

As mentioned in this blog post: Available Today: the C++Builder and RAD Studio 11.1.5 C++ Code Insight Update (emphasizes by me):

procedure TForm1.SomeControlEvent(Sender: TObject); begin var myLabel: TLabel; if Sender.Supports<TLabel>(myLabel) then myLabel.Caption := 'handled'; end;

Thinking out of the box here: type TSupport = class helper for TObject public function Supports<T: class>(out ResObj: T): Boolean; end; function TSupport.Supports<T>(out ResObj: T): Boolean; begin ResObj := nil; if Self is T then begin if not ((Self is TBoldObject) and TBoldObject(Self).BoldObjectIsDeleted) then ResObj := T(Self); end; result := ResObj <> nil; end;

That would require to pass a TObject variable to that parameter, which is not helpful. An out parameters works like a var parameter, where the types must match exactly.

Which version of Pascal Analyzer do you use? I couldn't reproduce it here.

You might be interested in the Delta property of TFDQuery.

Hey, we also have TPair<Double, Double>.

According to that list, that would be better named TDouble?

You can return a TArray<Double>: function GetBomCosts(const ItemCode : String) : TArray<Double>; begin { Retrieve values } ... { Return values as array } SetLength(Result, 2); Result[0] := value1; Reuslt[1] := value2; end;

IIRC, that separation has been suggested since Delphi 6.

Not quite. The MultiPaste expects some text containing multiple lines.

You need separate packages for runtime and design.

It works as expected when I place the following code in FormCreate: var displayIndex := Screen.DisplayCount - 1; var display := Screen.Displays[displayIndex]; SetBoundsF(display.Workarea.Left, display.Workarea.Top, Width, Height);

You cannot directly set a specific display. Instead you position the form so that it is shown on the desired display.

I would rather like to know which magic makes your system behave different than most others.

You know that there is a place for such wishes?

The Client info mentions <sqlite3_x86.obj statically linked> That means the SQLite engine is part of the exe or bpl. You cannot change that for the IDE.

If such an API would wrap things like "provide LSP with all necessary code for the current project" and "notify this interface with the requested results" that would make things easier. Even not trivial, though.

The LSP protocol is documented, but one has to implement the complete client code from the ground up and that is a pretty complex task. Currently there is no ready to use API provided by the IDE.
