dzOTP Tool to test OneTimePad tokens generated by the FreeOTP Android App That was a long time ago, so I don't really remember how exactly this worked. -
I've been asked this question several times before: Yes I did, no I won't. Edit: I should have mentioned that this is also answered in the FAQ in the post pinned to this sub forum: https://en.delphipraxis.net/topic/4123-about-gexperts-some-frequently-asked-questions/

Very important, if you use TForm.OnCreate events and plan to work with Delphi 10 and 12.3 in parallel for a while: They dropped the TForm.OldCreateOrder property. All previous Delphi versions set this value to False when a new form was created in the IDE. But if open an existing project in Delphi 12 and save a dfm file, the OldCreateOrder value will be removed. When you then open it in Delphi 10 OldCreateOrder will get assigned its default value, which is True. So by saving in Delphi 12 and then in Delphi 10 the OldCreateOrder value changes from False to True. Uwe Raabe blogged about the consequences this can have. On top of that you will likely have much "fun" with Windows per display scaling which is supported by Delphi 12.

If you have been updating the GExperts sources (or are following the activity on SourceForge) you might have noticed that there quite a few bugs have been fixed. That was not me alone (I am on vacation so I have some more time than usual) but also @Achim Kalwa (thanks Achim!). Many of these fixes were for the code formatter, but there are some more for glitches in the UI, in particular for scaling problems. read on in the blog post.

What does [ref] attribute actually dows
dummzeuch replied to Tommi Prami's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
If you pass a const parameter which you want to reference by its address in asm code, you need to make sure that it actually is passed as a reference and not in any other form. -

Maybe if you want to use ASM to access the parameter? -

dummzeuch replied to bravesofts's topic in VCL
TMenuItem has got a Parent property of type TMenuItem. I haven't checked but I would assume that it is NIL for main menu items. Edit: I was wrong. See online help here: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/en/Vcl.Menus.TMenuItem.Parent It's identical to the MainMenu's Items property. But that's just as good for detecting main menu items.- 12 replies

You must set the height of the memo with alBottom. Everything else will adjust automatically (unless the splitter acts up then it will be moved above the memo with alClient 😞 in that case you can hopefully set the splitter's top position to move it back between the memos where it belongs).

In addition to allowing to change keyboard shortcuts, GExperts has the Uses Clause Manager which on the Identifier tab offers similar functionality as the Delphi Uses Helper. The UI is very different though, but it also finds partial matches (but not typos).

As @DelphiUdIT already said: The first thing you need is a compiler that creates binaries for Linux. And Delphi Professional - regardless which version - doesn't include that. According to Embarcadero's overview, you need at least the Enterprise SKU. On top of that, you might need GUI libraries, this is where FMXLinux comes into play. Of course the question is, whether you actually need a GUI. What kind of applications do you plan to develop?
