What kind of app will be hosting the ActiveX component? The future of ActiveX is a bit iffy.

Are there changes to the theme resources since 10.3.0?

What about https://github.com/RRUZ/delphi-ide-theme-editor ?

What if you call Inherited before drawing the rect? I see that in some of my code I only do my custom drawing if State = [].

Have you tried without the lock/unlock? You are after all already inside a grid on draw event. A possible workaround could be to do an invalidate on the grid after a drag/drop. Also - how a mod 2 = 0 can draw every three rows, is a bit of a mystery 😉

The link above contains the general ISO for Delphi / RAD Studio for license hoders. You need to be logged in, and possible have a subscription? Not sure about the last bit. The Community Edition (CE) of Delphi can be found here: https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/starter/free-download Are you on CE or Pro|Enterprise|Architect?

Have you checked the integrity of the ISO image? CertUtil -hashfile <filename.iso> <MD2|MD4|MD5|SHA1|SHA256|SHA384|SHA512> i.e. CertUtil -hashfile delphicbuilder10_3_3_7899_nt.iso MD5 The output should match the MD5 signature in http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/30896 Personally, I prefer the Web Installer.

Control Panel | System | Advanced System Settings | Environment Variables System Variables | Path

Did you use the .ISO installer or the web installer? The length of the path environment variable can be a problem. Check that there are no old and obsolete paths filling it up.

Is it live at design-time? (I have nothing but bad experiences with that and prefer to NOT do that) Is the data source originally used when designing still available?

Uninstall, reinstall.

Which version of PowerShell? I recommend installing PS Core 6 while waiting for 7. Faster and richer. From your Windows Powershell command line, run: iex "& { $(irm https://aka.ms/install-powershell.ps1) } -UseMSI" Note that PS Core 6 runs on Linux and MacOS too.

You can also validate your findings through PowerShell PS C:\> Get-ComputerInfo | select WindowsProductName, WindowsVersion, OsHardwareAbstractionLayer WindowsProductName WindowsVersion OsHardwareAbstractionLayer ------------------ -------------- -------------------------- Windows 10 Enterprise 1809 10.0.17763.737

An alternative could be using a temp table for the inner select?

I've not used Interbase, but if follows std SQL, it could be something like this? SELECT HIREDMONTH, EMPLOYEECOUNT FROM ( SELECT extract (month FROM HIRED_DATE) AS HIREDMONTH, count(*) AS EMPLOYEECOUNT FROM employee ) AS Table1 GROUP BY HIREDMONTH, EMPLOYEECOUNT

Have any of you tried these ARM development kits with AOSP and Delphi? https://www.96boards.org/product/hikey960/ https://www.96boards.org/product/hikey970/

I guess that takes the 960 off the table. The 970 mentions supporting Google Android NN neural network computing framework, which means it is Android 8.1 (API level 27) or above.

Not sure if helpful at all, but could https://sourceforge.net/projects/openslp/ be wrapped with C++Builder for consumption in Delphi?

I'd start by identifying for certain which drivers that are being used by the two clients.

MARS (Multiple Active Result Sets on the same connection) doesn't work without the advanced clients, IIRCC. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/native-client/features/using-multiple-active-result-sets-mars?view=sql-server-ver15

In https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/201978/how-to-use-printer-device-fonts there are some clues to doing device font substitution, but if that doesn't work out, I am afraid that you have to raise the issue with the maker of the printer.

Is there a TrueType version of the built in printer fonts available anywhere? It could be that the MS canvas handling fails to get font info for the built in fonts, if the fonts don't exist in the Windows font registry. Installing the TrueType may help?

If FetchAll is not used, and there is more than the default row limit number of rows, RecordCount may show the same as the row limit (f.x. 50). This means that if you use a for loop for var n:= 1 to RecSet.RecordCount do begin // ... process RecSet.MoveNext; end; You may only get the first 50 records, and not the actual number. That could possibly lead to this situation where the RecSet is "unfinished". It is safer to use while not RecSet.EoF do begin // ... process RecSet.MoveNext; end; which will fetch more chunks of 50 rows until all rows have been fetched - or use FetchAll 😛
