  1. I am on the side of the current Windows UI.
  2. I believe it would be easier to push Microsoft to change the decisions how the User Interface on Windows should work.
  3. It does deliver according to the MS user interface guidelines. You don't have to like it, however the norm in UI design is to follow the OS guidelines as most of the users expect that.

    Delphi on Surface Pro with Qualcomm CPU?

    For years it is a low priority research target to Embarcadero to replace the IDE. There is no further public information on this topic.
  5. I've never tried this product. In my experience it still requires a human developer to find bugs. All the find & replace changes to migrate between versions can be achieved using the refind utility.

    Detect CTRL or SHIFT Keys Being Held Down at Application Start.

    You can query the state of these buttons using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getkeystate if GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL)<0 then .... if GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT)<0 then ....

    Why does IDE require UAC elevation when starting?

    Same for me. I don't have the registry entry in the AppCompatFlags\Layers. Delphi 12 works just as should be with a normal level user without beeing elevated.

    Access violation installing a component

    The first instance of bds should debug the second one. Thus, it should break on the error and show the call stack. The last Delphi version where I have had problems that required to debug a second instance of Delphi was XE5. In Delphi 12 I compile without runtime packages and have a limited of debugging this kind of errors.

    Access violation installing a component

    Select the package and from the main menu activate Run - Parameters. For host application you shoulds select bds.exe (default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\bin\bds.exe). Hit F9 a second instance of Delphi will start in that instance open the package and try to install. You should get a call stack.
  10. The product About page gives you an explanation. According to that page it is an automatized robot that can analyze and rewrite your code. In my experience that is a very bold claim.

    Read a .ini file in the project file??

    I've copied IPADresses you posted and using the i.ReadString('DBiDashboard', 'IPAddresses', '') cannot reproduce your problem.

    It's not a Captcha it is a test for AI. Only advanced AI can fill this questionary.

    Why does IDE require UAC elevation when starting?

    Correct the IDE. The question was if using ISO and WEB installer will behave differently.

    Same question for me.

    Why does IDE require UAC elevation when starting?

    For me this is the first time that I am using a standard user, the IDE works without a problem. I have the default UAC for standard users, that is Always Notify.

    I am using ISO to install Delphi, never have had to start it elevated.

    Codolex 2.0 is now Free - Low-Code for Delphi

    To get the access violation I have a simple example. I do not know how to create a bug report. If you try to connect the show dialog to the merge element. (I guess it is not supported, but killing the IDE is not acceptable behavior.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using copy paste I have managed to break the code generation (the last show message - thank you is missing): Also, for some reason the files are not generated: [dcc32 Fatal Error] mainFRM.pas(25): F2613 Unit 'Test.M1.V1' not found. What I dislike in the code is that everything is an inline variable. If you have a decision (if then - else structure) the elements after the merge point are generated inside every branch. I have had no time to test it in detail (I will have more time next month).

    Codolex 2.0 is now Free - Low-Code for Delphi

    It generates a code that you can call but cannot change. If you change it will be rewritten the first time when the new code is generated. Note. I find the generated code unreadable and can kill the Delphi IDE with stack overflow.

    Codolex 2.0 is now Free - Low-Code for Delphi

    It is in the e-mail you going to receive. Interesting on the installation that it doesn't support limited users, to install it you must run the installation as administrator. When the install is finished the limited user will not get it in the IDE. The solution is to install it outside program files where your user has write access.

    How to debug a Not Responding program element

    Sometimes a logging can help. Log the start and finish of every action you take when the menu is executed (starting loading this / finished, starting that / finished). The part that does not have the finished event in the log is caused the hang.

    Drag and DPR

    I cannot, fortunately copilot is ready to help us out. Here is the response: It sounds like the author is discussing their experience with Delphi, a programming language and software development environment. Here's a breakdown of what they're saying: • "As what happens on the DPR I just edit (fix) the DPR and compile.": DPR files are Delphi Project Files that contain source code. The author seems to be saying that they usually edit or fix the code in the DPR file and then compile ithttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/13734278/opening-delphi-project-files-any-downside-of-opening-dpr-instead-of-existing-d. • "I moved from 7 to 10 where it started happening": This likely refers to the author upgrading from Delphi version 7 to Delphi 10. They've encountered some issues since this upgradehttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/13734278/opening-delphi-project-files-any-downside-of-opening-dpr-instead-of-existing-d. • "It seems I am not the only one.": This suggests that other users have experienced similar problems after upgrading their Delphi versionhttps://en.delphipraxis.net/topic/11566-drag-and-dpr/. • "Where is Embarcadero then?": Embarcadero is the company that develops Delphi. The author is probably asking for support or an official response from Embarcadero regarding the issues they're facinghttps://www.embarcadero.com/Support/. • "P.S I have been with Delphi since #1": The author mentions they have been using Delphi since its first version, indicating they have a long history with the software. If you're experiencing similar issues, it might be helpful to reach out to Embarcadero's customer support or check their support forums for assistancehttps://www.embarcadero.com/Support/. Additionally, it's always a good practice to back up your projects before upgrading to a new version to prevent any potential loss of work.

    TFDQuery BindVisually to TStringGrid

    AFAIK this can be done only in code.

    Convert Visual Studio 2012 code to Delphi

    That should be easy, consult the AI.
  24. When you create a detour you should store the original function address to be able to return it. we don't know what createNewDetour is doing (it is not part of DDetours that was suggested).

    Proj finding wrong VCL

    First step is to create a backup of the original dproj. This is required to be able to copy the required settings for the project that is written in the dproj. If you delete the dproj and open dpr Delphi will create a dproj with default settings. You can try to compile it (depends on your project it might be successful). If you cannot compile the project with the new dproj you will have to add required paths to the project until you can compile it.
