I've used https://www.charlesproxy.com/ with success for seing exactly what is sent/received in a REST API. You can also inject it into a https connection as it acts as a proxy.

Bruno looks quite interesting! And, it's open source!

Ref. the above mentioned leak. Does it occur if you set ListView.OwnerData to true? There is BeginUpdate/EndUpdate on ListView.Items, but not sure that would suppress item events.

Did you override the HintWindowClass before Application.Run is executed? https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Athens/en/Vcl.Controls.THintWindowClass

Short answer: Yes Long answer: Yes, but don't! It would put your SQL database at risk. Instead, build a proper REST API as - it hides the underlying database - it allows you to change the underlying database operations without changing the client A REST API done right is far more secure and robust.

TMS has a new customizable context menu which is cross platform. https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/blog.asp?post=2364

Isolate your business logic from the UI. Use an intermediate class to pass the data around.

If you currently are a Delphi/RAD Studio subscriber, you can request access to the beta if you didn't already get an invite. As per the link in the starting post of this thread: Closing this thread.

I would decouple the action by having a handler. unit Druga; interface uses Dialogs; function Demo:boolean; type TOnShowMessage = reference to procedure; var OnShowMessage: TOnShowMessage; implementation // No circular ref here function demo: boolean; begin if Assigned(OnShowMessage) then OnShowMessage else raise Exception.Create('Someone forgot to set the OnShowMessage handler'); end; initalization OnShowMessage := nil; end. In Prva, I'd connected the handler in f.x. FormCreate; procedure TForm1.FormCreate(sender: TObject); begin Druga.OnShowMessage(Self.MyShowMessage); end; procedure TForm1.MyShowMessage; begin ShowMessage(Form1.Edit1.Text); end; This avoids the circular unit ref, and since you initialize the handler from the main form, it shouldn't matter if the bpl is dynamically loaded? If you want to, you can of course also add parameters to the handler to display a text generated in unit Druga or have multiple handlers for different uses.

@dmitrybv I assume that in your real code, you retrieve the correct installation paths from registry? Edit: Also, see this for executing shell commands:

@RDP1974 Dave is correct. Please remove your comment.

It is possible to add a comment to the issue, but not sure if that would be more hurtful than helpful.

You can also define symbols in an environment variable, but then they apply to ALL projects you compile. dcc_define=Test;MagicSymbol;SomeOtherDefine dcc_define being the magic environment variable name which defines the symbols. Example: This one defines "foslar" - so that I can include code that I am working on but which doesn't compile in the project and commit/push to git without breaking the build server or messing up for other users. {$ifdef foslar} procedure DoSomething begi What was I thinking? {$endif}

Version Control.
