I have an AOC U3277 - very happy with it.

You can collapse a section of the subforum list, but then there are the activity streams.

My installation did the uninstall and asked if I wanted to keep the current registry settings, which I confirmed. Colors and environment variables, etc, were as expected after the new installation. Same with SDKs and Connections. I did have some issues with Parnassus - where I had to delete the old Parnassus_Sydney DLLs for the installer to run as the old ones did not work with the new IDE. Then I got some missing Parnassus warnings when loading workspace, before I could reinstall with GetIt. After installation, the DLLs were where I expected, and everything worked as expected - apart from a floating bookmark window 😛

It is slightly annoying that you have to manually reinstall GetIt component packages on an upgrade like this.

Individual ticket display - It depends a lot on the type of user. I know that our users that are non-PC aficionados, are uncomfortable with tree views. If the series of stages are sequential, I'd consider a segmented progress bar, combined with a panel with information on the status of the current stage in progress. Just to stay in line with my original example

Well, technically I use RAD Studio - that has the C++ bit - but that is sort of a remnant from when the .NET stuff looked like it was going somewhere. Not sure if it is possible to downgrade from RAD Studio Enterprise to Delphi Enterprise. I never use the C++ bit even though I always install it for good measure. Point being: There is a relationship that goes heavily from C++Builder to Delphi, but which is very weak the other way around.

I replaced the URL.

Indeed it is only outbound. All inbound activity is TCP/UDP oriented.

I wonder what kind of effect that has on f.x. FireDAC? We use the SQLNCLI11 and MSOLEDBSQL drivers in heavily multithreaded services. We also use OLE objects in DLLs created a decade and a half ago against our ERP system.

If that is the case, I would suggest that we remove the reference to it, @Edwin Yip

I checked our sources. We normally never use CoInitializeEx, explicitly, just CoInitialize, but I guess that depends on the requirements of the OLE control.

I am struggling with the comments in the source code 😄

Seriously...

CoInit/CoUnInit should run only once per thread.

I'd consider running an old Windows in Hyper-V to host the Delphi 7.

The API looks like standard REST and JSON format. https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.226.0.api_rest.meta/api_rest/intro_what_is_rest_api.htm Should be doable with Delphi. There also is a SOAP API, it seems.

GitHub and GitLab has forums, but I don't know of any "independent" git forums, as most people probably use one of the forementioned git services.

If I take the liberty of making some assumptions about these states Normal States Prepared On-boarded In Progress Completed Wait states On hold / problem / issue Waiting for more info Pending signoff I could consider the following grid view, with Id identifying f.x. an order of some sort. If you select a line and/or hover over a cell - you could have the details in a panel or popup. The "perfect" day would be all green and no icons. Edit: I clearly didn't read all of the initial post before starting my design - but well - the signoff stages could be more signoff cells.

Unless you are some sort of color blind? I also use color, but where there is a critical significance that requires attention, I usually add an icon or symbol in addition.

That can happen with any service you subscribe to. I'd pick two large ones that have operations internationally. DropBox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Apple iCloud, Amazon, Oracle to mention the obvious ones. Box, IDrive and SugarSync as runners up. Norwegian alternative: https://www.jottacloud.com/en/ - which has some of the best integration solutions that I've seen, and it operates under Norwegian law, which has stringent privacy rules. Don't trust any of these to not look at your data? Encrypt the shit out of it. Just don't place your bet on SD cards that unavoidably will go dead.

Spotted this So even that bank box will be a no go soon. We are inevitably headed for online storage.

OMG! Yes.

It seems it still was a manual process to create manifests for D7: https://readmydamnblog.com/2010/02/12/creating-a-delphi-7-application-that-triggers-uac/ I have no idea if D7 itself had a manifest.

Windows 7 was released in 2009, and Delphi 7 was released in 2007. I guess it was not Windows 7 ready/aware.
