Are you using an EXE compressor such as AsPack by any chance? AV programs don't like compressed executables.

Apart from data validation as suggested above, you can use setters and getters for other purposes e.g procedure SetName(NewName: string); begin if NewName<>fName then begin fName := NewName; ProjectNotSaved := true; end; end;

Noting the comments above, if I'm asking the user a question that needs an answer, I want a question mark. My fix is to create a descendant of TTaskDialog, put the question mark in a resource file and load it immediately after creating the dialog CustomMainIcon.LoadFromResourceName(HInstance, 'QUESTION_BLUE'); Flags := Flags + [tfUseHIconMain]; See https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Sydney/en/Vcl.Dialogs.TTaskDialog.CustomMainIcon Tony Bryer, Greentram Software Pty Ltd

This may or may not be relevant, but this thread reminded me of a fix I made a while back, adding the following line to my printing code Printer.Title := ProgName + ' calcs '; // 11.11.18 latest Win10 update falls over without this

Thanks for the feedback. It's not that UPT doesn't work, just that a business query related to using software that doesn't appear to be actively maintained.

Our apps have used the Plasmatech OLE structured storage library https://plasmatech.com/storage.htm for many many year and it still works but doesn't appear to have been updated since 2011. To remove a dependency on what looks like abandonware (though the website is still live) I'm looking for a replacement, so far in vain. Any ideas?

Mine - in use for the last 20 years - is named iif. Yes, I was a FoxPro user in the 1990s! I was looking at something in one of my programs a few weeks back and realised it was there to save space when saving to floppy disk. If there's such a thing as a code archaeologist they could have a great time with my codebase.

Only issue I've found so far (desktop VCL) is https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-29287 : Wrong text positioning for TButton with custom style. In my case it's buttons with images; OK without styling; add style and caption is output in the middle of the button, not in the middle of the space to the side of the button. Appears to be caused by a line added to TButtonGlyph.CalcButtonLayout.
