You can install XE5 only if you have had support for XE3 at the time when it was released otherwise no. You can try with your XE3 serial number to activate.

I am with the idea that was presented in the Delphi's birthday webinar, I do not want the code from any of the projects I am working on to land in some AI database and pop up as a suggestion on a query. The code I am working on belongs to the company I am working for or a client. Nobody wants that code to go public. I am ok with the idea and did it a couple of times to ask Bing to write some simple code that I can review faster than to type in, have some fun.

First step is to exclude the folder for a project that antivirus program reports and upload the generated exe to VirusTotal. If it is a false positive the next step is to report it to your antivirus program as false positive. Edit. So far, I have done this twice. Last time, a couple of years ago Microsoft Defender started to mark the Delphi executables as virus infected. After I filled the report, the issue was gone in 5-7 days. The other time when I did it was more than a decade ago.

Close the Local variables, it's that slow at least since Delphi XE5.

You should backup the installation ISO for every Delphi you use before you let the subscription expire. Also it could be problem to bump up the registration limit if you don't have an active subscription - a solution could be to install Delphi to a virtual machine.

This was changed in D12, in Delphi 11 it was declared as: const {$EXTERNALSYM CW_USEDEFAULT} CW_USEDEFAULT = DWORD($80000000); now it's: const {$EXTERNALSYM CW_USEDEFAULT} CW_USEDEFAULT = Integer($80000000);

I don't read that way. The remark is: Note: To avoid ambiguity, conversions must be explicit, as the following code example illustrates. In the example MyList.delete(0) I don't see ambiguity. The examples on that page are reather bad.

"Customers who have installed RAD Studio 12 using the online installation process won’t have the ability to add new platforms and core features to the product via the Manage Features dialog. In order to do this, they will need to uninstall and then reinstall using the new inline release." It's not about the GetIt or Welcome page.

That's not possible. The Welcome page is working fine for me (installed from the ISO image). I doubt that the ISO and online installer has different setup for the GetIt.

1.) Log into https://quality.embarcadero.com/ 2.) Enter RSP-26436 into search (you can find it at the upper right corner of the page) and you cannot copy paste it from the text above as it contains unicode characters. https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-26436

Unfortunately the parser that the IDE uses is not up to date. I also have some cases where the editor messes up my code I have to pay attention what I am doing. In one class I can add a property only if I paste it from the clipboard entering using the keyboard is not possible. Embarcadero might replace the IDE in near future (5-10 years from now).

Interesting I've the patch installed but the IDE thinks it's not installed......

This is a patch, not an update it should only change the Version.

(In case of Delphi 12 patch 1 (it's not officially 12.1) a clean all was required before I could compile a project group. I have tried before to uninstall design time packages that was not enough to remove the Access Violation when I tried to compile. After clean all I was able to compile.)

In that case you was lucky or you are not using packages often. This error can appear at no reason, you have to recompile the packages and everything should work fine.

Since a long time Windows 10 is reuqired to install the Delphi IDE. You can compile applications for older versions of Windows but the dev. machine should be at least Windows 10. I am not aware if there a possibility to install it on Windows 7.

There should be 32 bit clients for every database server. I doubt that every application that is connecting to database has moved to 64 bit.

You should be able to do so. I've done for Informix. At design time I use the 32bit ODBC driver while when compiled as 64 bit application runtime the 64bit driver.

procedure TForm1.Edit1Change(Sender: TObject); Var i: Integer; lFilteredList: TStringList; Begin lFilteredList:=TStringList.create; try if trim(Edit1.text)<>'' then begin for i := 0 to list_global.Count - 1 do if pos(Edit1.text, list_global[i]) > 0 then lFilteredList.Add(list_global[i]); end; if lFilteredList.count=0 then listbox1.items.assign(list_global) else listbox1.items.Assign(lFilteredList); finally lFilteredList.Free; end; End;

procedure TForm1.Edit1Change(Sender: TObject); Var i: Integer; Begin listBox1.Clear; if trim(Edit1.text)='' then listbox1.items.Assign(list_global) else begin for i := 0 to list_global.Count - 1 do if pos(Edit1.text, list_global[i]) > 0 then listBox1.Items.Add(list_global[i]); end; End;

It is a general algorithm. For search you loop to the items. While for search you have to maintain the data in order to insert into the components the values that match the criteria.

I would bet on the contact information at https://www.mmx-delphi.de/ there is a link legal notice with contact details.

There was a discussion about this function already at this forum:

I cannot reproduce your bug using Delphi 12.
