How to attach a DigiCert Token certificate to exeutable
Lars Fosdal replied to Bart Kindt's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
According to some googling, there appears to be methods of converting a .cer file to a .pfx file. -
Staying up-to-date, with the latest stable versions of your libraries, is usually a good idea! If you have proper unit and integration tests, keeping current should be low risk.

@corneliusdavid Perhaps for solo developers, but for a corporate team I would struggle if I was to defend it as a choice.

Who would select to use a closed source backend that doesn't scale, when there are multiple options - of which several have a free tier?

Favorite feature(s) of other editors that Delphi does not offer
Lars Fosdal replied to dummzeuch's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
VS Code + C# Dev Kit + .NET MAUI extension for C# Dev Kit is pretty cool. .NET cross platform GUI development on Windows, Mac & Linux. Your Operating System Supported Target DEBUG Platforms Windows Windows, Android macOS Android, iOS, macOS Linux Android You can argue that this is not an editor capability - but well, it is a pretty nifty editor that allows pretty nifty integrations.

Ok, that is pretty neat!

It has progressed to the Bronze Age...

Odd - we also use the TMS VCL UI Pack - but I've never noticed that problem when having two Delphi versions installed in parallel. Perhaps because we don't use runtime packages in our code?

I love BC, but using GitKraken, the built in comparer there is pretty nice as well. -
I've used Peganza Analyzer every time I had to get to know a new code base. Now, I haven't changed jobs for a long time - so the last license I have is for PA v. 4.x. Perhaps it is time to get the Expert? Then again - I write a lot less Delphi code these days, as work pushes me in different directions.

@corneliusdavid I replaced shortest with most readable years ago. 😛

Result := MyString StartPos := Pos('<', Result); if StartPos > 0 then Delete(Result, StartPos, Pos('>', Result) - StartPos + 1); Something like this? Note that it doesn't handle a missing '>', nor does it trim.

Featurewise - how does Peganza Pascal Expert hold up to TMS FixInsight?

Two and a half year later... I still want the above.

Skia Print Preview and Print in Delphi 12?
Lars Fosdal replied to PeterPanettone's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
Perusing the source code, it appears that a Print capability is supported. Regular FMX doesn't have print preview, so I doubt there is SKIA support for that. -
I bet that many of those will also recognize the western calendar years. Brgds, a Wood Dragon.

Ref, next major version of Delphi... Triskaidekaphobia IS to be trifled with 😛 I do wish more companies would simply adopt a calendar centric version. RAD Studio <year>.<release>.<patch>.<build> I also wish that the minor releases could be installed in parallel!

Delphi 12: The Install Packages window still has no Filter box
Lars Fosdal replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
I don't use packages except those that exist by default compile time, so I haven't really seen it as a massive problem, but yes - any list that needs a scrollbar, probably also needs a filter. -
Not to forget, FMX+SKIA+LOTTIE files.

Bringing the IDE automatically to the foreground?
Lars Fosdal replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
What drives me nuts, is the UACs that flashes the icon but doesn't bring the window to front. There are Windows settings that can affect the bring to front behaviour. Also, Windows drivers and layout management tools can affect the behaviour. -

Lars Fosdal replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
It has no filter box as far as I can tell. -
How do I get a Pointer to a generic type ?
Lars Fosdal replied to dormky's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
Please make a complete compilable executable example. The listed code does not illustrate proper generic references. It is not clear what you are trying to achieve, it being manipulating an input value or an internal value, nor what value you are trying to modify. If you are using pointer references to modify values, your code isn´t really generic anymore. -
