Look this for the patch: https://blogs.embarcadero.com/rad-studio-12-3-april-patch-available/

ONLY if you install the patch from IDE GUI the update will appear in the "About" box.

The PAServer should be copied manually to the destination target (from the Repository path that you have indicated).

About the personality, I don't know about it but may be is some issue about license ?

is like using Assigned on pointers (even object pointers). On delegates it makes sense, but for everything else I think (FooBar <> nil) is more readable and better communicate intention than Assigned(FooBar). I'm sure everybody agrees with me on that 😉

Lool, I always use Assigned(...) hoping that one day or another it will solve all the situations (either nil or an invalid pointer) 🙂

The only issue with absolute that I can think of is that the compiler treats the aliased variables as "volatile" which inhibits certain optimizations - AFAIR. Apart from that it's just like a hard typecast.

 

Of course one has to avoid doing stupid things like using absolute on managed types.

You are right, those were my fear.

What change? You mean a possible future change of the index type?

 

I can't see how any of the Pred used here would survive that:

TABLE_DATA: array[0..pred(TABLE_SIZE * 3)] of string
Elements : array[0..pred(TABLE_SIZE)] of record

 

The use of pred here is only the result of copy / paste operation. But I use pred sometimes, especially when there is a dimension of an array in play. In a for / to cycle instead I use normally "-1".

It is not mine, I'm not a chemical tech. I only see the use of the "absolute" directive and ask if there is any issue (in assignement for example). By the way I have tested some uses case and i don't found any issue, it's like a normal array of records.

Like I wrote, I had know that there are other methods, I was only curious about "absolute" used in array of records.

Thank you all for your interest.

Hello everyone.
From a post in the international Lazarus forum ( https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,71183.msg555336.html#msg555336 ) I noticed the use of the "absolute" directive to actually initialize an array of records.
By defining an initialized array of strings, these are then fully matched to an array of records.
I knew about the "absolute" directive, but honestly I have never seen it applied (or at least I have never noticed it, I vaguely remember seeing it in Indy).
Apart from other ways to obtain the same results, does the definition as it was made have any contraindications other than the pure reading of an element of the record (I think of its writing or passing as a "var" to some processing method)?

Sample:

const
  TABLE_SIZE = 118; //118*3 -1 = array size

  TABLE_DATA: array[0..pred(TABLE_SIZE * 3)] of string = (

The point of my original post is that I have no idea if the patch was successfully installed and if it wasn't, how to install it.  THAT'S the question I'm asking here. I appreciate your trying to help and understand now that you do not know the answer.

I don't see any "list of packages that failed in the GetIt Packages dialog box."

Delphi version 12.3 with patch.

I used the TaurusTLS from https://github.com/JPeterMugaas/TaurusTLS with bundle version of Embarcadero to activate the use of TLSv1.3.

Inside a web server project that I use for testing, I substitute the old PR299 (openSSL 1.x and 3.x wrapper) with TaurusTLS and all is perfect working with really less change.

I don't use the component at design time, so with some $IFDEF I adapt the code that can work with old PR299 (TLSv1.3), only a bundle distro (TLSv1.2) and the new TaurusTLS (TLSv1.3 with all the new OpenSSL 3.x DLLs) with only a recompile action.

I have more server place with some certificates from Let's encrypt and redirection function (http port 80 -> https port 443) and is all good.

Thanks to @Remy Lebeau and @J. Peter Mugaas

Unfortunately, the GetIt installer does not add WindowsAPIfromWinMD-1.0 to the Library Path.

That's fine with me, because then I copy all the units used as "uses" (NOT COMPONENTS) into the $BDSUSERDIR\Imports folder (in this case the WINMD folder)
And in the library paths I add that path (which is specific to the platform). In this way I have a single point (I repeat only for the uses, i.e. those units that represent a stand-alone functionality) under which there are all the "utilities" and that will be copied and maintained for each version of RAD STUDIO. I still have some files from almost twenty years ago that I still use (rarely, only for maintenance of old code ... with the new RAD).

"It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good" ...

@PeterPanettone

If something of WinApi is missing, you can look at this and download the WINMD from getit: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Athens/en/What's_New#WinAPI_Delphi_Headers_from_WinMD_metadata

Like they told,

Quote

These new headers are much more extensive, covering all recent APIs compared to the set available in the core RTL.

Bye

P.S.:I use some of those headers to include some functionalities missing in Embarcadero WinApi.

If you mean me, my last post was just an explanation of your previous post.
Far be it from me to criticize you. I understand very well the difficulty in dealing with new things.

I wish you good things. I am definitely in the wrong place not knowing enough about C++.
Bye

I don't think the answer is simple. It is not enough to have a simple FIPS compliant DB (if there is one) to make "everything" FIPS compliant. The rules of the American administration (if your project refers to this) are very stringent and rigorous (I know 'cause I worked with them years ago).
I think it is better to consult with an Embarcadero sales engineer on this.

Please explain the difference ("StackOverflow is a Q&A site, not a help forum. ")  Why would I ask a question if I didn't need help?. But if you wanna ask me about my cats (I have 19) please do... I got pics too.

Stack overflow is a site suitable for receiving precise and targeted answers on single problems. You can't ask a generic question (like: how do you make a loop in Pascal) and hope that someone will answer. In fact, the question will normally be closed.
As a basis, it is assumed that the person asking questions has first "studied" the basis of the language and the techniques related to the question.

8 hours ago, Rick Malik said:

Most of the properties are set in the Object inspector- ie, dictionary, auto-change, etc.

Their 'do while' is my while, right? And their 'select' is my switch, or am I using Russian to translate french. I said before, I have trouble basic and pascal. I couldn't figure out how to "if(), exit  loop, endif"....  && I didn't know what to do with that second 'loop' !? I thought exit meant we're done here. Isn't that what cancelled means?

I also didn't know you could use 'break' outside the switch case statement....hmm, I'll look that up. And I purposely left out the ignore case. VSIR_IGNORE is probably another typo. Left it out.

These are just some of the basics that should be studied before asking questions or addressing any problem... and this applies to any language and not only.

On the web, and also in this forum, there are many links to manuals, even free ones, that help in understanding Pascal.

Have a good time.

VSSpell was a, ActiveX component (not free) from "ComponentOne", now  "Mescius" company.

Since 2023, this was a legacy product 'cause the use of ActiveX tecnology and now it doesn't exist anymore.

In some older pages there are some refs. but if you use the download link, only their control panel will be downloaded.

So, I don't think there wil be any chance to use it. May be if you have it you can try to derive a "wrapper" or TLB in C++:

EDIT: after that I cannot help you more than this 'cause I don't use normally c++

Removed 7 and installed 8 here. No 64-bit design time packages so not yet available in the 64-bit Initial Release of the Delphi 12 IDE.

 

Looking at the contents of C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\CatalogRepository\KonopkaControls-290-8.0_For12.3\Bin\Win64 there does seem to be 64-bit design time packages but they were not installed?
Manually copied the two design time BPLs to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\Bpl\Win64, did Component -> Install Packages, Add, selected them both  and installed them. Some basic tests and they seem to work.

I simply open the packages from source directory and compile them in Win64 IDE .... of course installing the design pkg. Take care that the pkg are in DEBUG mode, so you can switch in RELEASE before compile.

Konopka Signature VCL Controls Change Log
            
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build: 8.0.0
Date:  18 Feb 2025
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RzAboutEditor.pas
    * Updated About Box to load PNG-based component images from design package.
    * About Box now properly displays when IDE runs in High DPI.

RzAnimtr.pas
    * Changed TRzAnimator to descend from TGraphicControl instead of
      TCustomControl. As a result, transparency no longer needs to be simulated
      by drawing the parent image when painting.

RzBHints.pas
    * Detect hint control's current ScaleFactor and apply that to HintWindow
      class so that popup hints are responsive to High DPI changes.
    * Added new ApplyCaptionWidth property to TRzCustomHintWindow. Controls
      that specifically create a hint window (e.g. TRzColorPicker, TRzTimePicker)
      set ApplyCaptionWidth to False. This fixes display issues that can arise
        when custom hint text gets wrapped unexpectedly because of the
      CaptionWidth property.
    * Updated code to enforce a minimum hint window width if ShowBalloon is true.
    * Changed default font of TRzBalloonHints to Segoe UI.
    * Changed default frame color for hint window to cl3DDkShadow.

RzBorder.pas
    * Updated the TRzColorPicker so that it displays and operates correctly
      in High DPI.
    * Fixed issue where border would not be displayed in TRzColorPicker.
    * Updated the layout spacing between sections of the TRzColorPicker.
    * RSP-38977: Updated TRzBorder so that BorderWidth is scaled when running
      in High DPI.
    * Updated TRzBorder so that BorderOuter and BorderInner are properly drawn
      under High DPI.

RzBtnEdt.pas
    * Updated the display of flat buttons in TRzButtonEdit such that the button
      frames are only drawn when the mouse is position over the button not when
      the mouse is over the edit field or the edit field has the input focus.
    * Changes to TRzButtonEdit.StyleElements are passed along to the embedded
      control buttons.

RzButton.pas
    * Fixed issue in TRzButton where a VCL styled button in the default state
      would display the text in the wrong color.
    * Fixed issue in TRzBitBtn where glyph would overlay on top of button caption.
    * Fixed display issue in TRzBitBtn where built-in Kind graphic would appear
      distorted.
    * Updated TRzControlButton DrawBtnFace method to utilize toolbar button
      style if available. This provides a much more consistent interface for
      the TRzButtonEdit, which uses TRzControlButton controls.
    * Added new GlyphKind public property that allows a user to specify the
      Glyph that is associated with the Kind value, but does not change the
      other properties such as Caption, Default, Cancel, or ModalResult. This
      property is utilized in the TRzDialogButtons component.
    * RSP-38727: Stock glyph images for TRzBitBtn are now stretched to keep
      same relative size when running under High DPI.
    * RSP-41467: Redesigned the way the TRzBitBtn control (and descendants
      such as TRzMenuButton) handles the positioning of the glyph and caption
      when Margin is set to -1. Now, the glyph and caption are centered within
      the buttons and separated from each other by the value of the Spacing
      property.
    * RSP-39692: The border thickness for TRzButton instances where ThemeAware
      is False and HotTrack is True now scales with DPI.
    * RSP-41467: Fixed issue where Glyph and Caption would not be centered in
      TRzBitBtn when Margin was set to -1.

RzButtonEditor.pas
    * Updated TRzButtonEditor dialog to support Dark IDE Style and High DPI.
    * Updated layout of dialog to increase spacing between controls.

RzCaptionEditor.pas
    * Updated TRzCaptionEditor dialog to support Dark IDE Style and High DPI.
    * Updated layout of dialog to increase spacing between controls.

RzCheckGroupEditor.pas
    * Updated TRzCheckGroupEditor dialog to support Dark IDE Style and High DPI.
    * Updated layout of dialog to increase spacing between controls.
    * Added Columns cascading menu to component editor context menu.
    * Added Space Evenly check box to editor dialog and context menu.
    * Added fields to edit HorizontalSpacing and VerticalSpacing properties.

RzCheckListEditor.pas
    * Updated TRzCheckListEditor dialog to support Dark IDE Style and High DPI.
    * Updated layout of dialog to increase spacing between controls.

RzCheckListItemForm.pas
    * Updated TRzCheckListItemForm to support Dark IDE Style and High DPI. This
      dialog is invoked by the TRzCheckListEditor.
    * Updated tab order such that the Caption field receives the initial input
      focus.

RzCheckListTabStopEditor.pas
    * Updated TRzCheckListTabStopEditor dialog to support Dark IDE Style and
      High DPI.
    * Updated TRzCheckListTabStopEditor window to be sizeable.
    * Updated layout of dialog to increase spacing between controls.

RzChkLst.pas
    * Fixed display issues in TRzCheckList when running at High DPI. The default
      check boxes are no longer distorted and the calculation for the item
      height has been corrected.
    * Custom check glyphs are now properly scaled and displayed at High DPI.
    * RSP-40242: The spacing around check box glyphs is scaled according to DPI.

RzCmboBx.pas
    * Fixed display issue in TRzComboBox and descendants where a white bar
      would appear between edit area and dropdown button when application
      was set to use a dark VCL style.
    * Fixed sizing of TRzFontComboBox Font Preview popup under High DPI.
    * Updated the Font Type icons for TRzFontListBox to support light and dark
      VCL styles.
    * RSP-39198: Fixed issue where ColorNames.Black custom color name would not
      be displayed if ShowDefaultColor was set to False.
    * Added OnAfterDrawItem event to TRzImageComboBox.
    * Removed code specifically associated with versions of Windows pre-Vista.
    * Removed internal IsFocused field that was added for older versions of VCL.

RzColorNamesEditor.pas
    * Updated TRzColorNamesEditor dialog to support Dark IDE Style and High DPI.
    * Updated layout of dialog to increase spacing between controls.

RzComboBoxEditor.pas
    * Updated TRzComboBoxEditor dialog to support Dark IDE Style and High DPI.
    * Updated layout of dialog to increase spacing between controls.

RzCommon.pas
    * Updated DrawBorderSides, DrawInnerOuterBorders, and DrawRoundedFlatBorder
      methods to accommodate High DPI.
    * Added new DrawResourcePngImage and LoadResourcePngImage methods to support
      drawing and loading PNG images stored as resources.
    * Updated DrawBox and DrawFilledBox to have a default Width parameter.
    * Removed code specifically associated with versions of Windows pre-Vista.
    * Changed default font of TRzDialogComponent base class to use Segoe UI.
    * Updated DrawHighlightBox to better handle High DPI.
    * Updated DrawSpinArrow such that disabled spin arrow looks better when
      using custom VCL styles.
    * Fixed issue in RAD Studio 12 where arrows drawn by DrawArrowImage were
      not being displayed in the correct color.
    * Added new GetActiveStyleThemeColor method, which is used to extract the
      color of a specific style element.
    * Updated GetXPThemeColor method to extract color values from
      GetActiveStyleThemeColor instead of GetThemeColor, which provided
      inconsistent results.

RzDBBnEd.pas
    * Updated the display of flat buttons in TRzButtonEdit such that the button
      frames are only drawn when the mouse is position over the button not when
      the mouse is over the edit field or the edit field has the input focus.
    * Changes to TRzDBButtonEdit.StyleElements are passed along to the embedded
      control buttons.

I found out because I had to reinstall Rad Studio (Windows installation was destroyed due to a known Microsoft BUG )

Seems that this issue was resolved with this patch:

Now we are discussing what the cheap and rubbish version of ChatGPT says about Delphi? 

You are right. I removed my comment ...

Why you use '.' for domain in the LogOn function?

In the RunAs function you should use CreateProcessAsUser() API, not the CreateProcessWithLogon() .... you don't need to pass the credentials to RunAs, only the token.
