You can try to use a mapping rule on the Datasnap server to map AnsiString to WideString that should solve the problem.

My guess is that the data in the database is written using codepage 1250. On Windows the program converts the field values from CP 1250 to UTF-16 while Android does not.

No, it is not. It also breaks the deprecated code formatter. Unfortunately, we must wait until Delphi 15 to use this new feature.

I am aware. Unfortunately that is thr only right way to do it. You can try to hack the system. Unfortunately that depends heavily on the memory layout and the classes current definitions as a result most probably will break with every version of the Delphi.

I guess you already know the answer. Enter a ticket on the Quality Portal to request access to the fields you want. Give a good explanation why whould you want those fields to be public or protected in order to reach MFGA (Make Firemonkey Great Again).

The glyph is an old "obsolate" property to assigning the image, also using png is an old and should not be used in modern applications. Nowdays you should use svg stored in virtual image list to be able to support various DPI settings.

As it was mentioned earlier developing for mobile platforms is a moving target. In case of Android you have to follow the rules that Google sets every year. You cannot use the same tool for years like for Windows.

Without having more information: - If a component is placed on the form using the IDE the owner of the component is going to be the form. This can be different when the component is created runtime. - You can go using in the component hierarchy using the parent property until you find the form you are looking for.

There is no need for with in your example: procedure TMyForm.UpdateInventoryItem(const NewQty: Integer); var a: <the required type>; b: <the required type>; begin a:= dmStoreInventoryData; b:= A.tblUpdateItemForStore; B.Edit; B.FieldByName('Qty').AsInteger := NewQty; B.Post; end; With will not make this code any cleaner.

Which version of Delphi?

While the component has no property you can send a message to the underlying win32 component. Everything you need is in Winapi.CommCtrl. There is a TreeView_SetLineColor to send a message.

Do it from Delphi 12, the License action were added after XE5.

I believe this was a sign that the IDE thought it was cracked? There were posts about this. Try to open LicenseManager from XE5 and refresh the license.

I can use Delphi XE5 on a Windows 11 without a problem. I have never tried to install Delphi 2007 on Windows 11.

This is most probably going to lead to memory fragmentation. My advice is to watch the working set size in Task Manager. If the memory grows very fast change the implementation if not live with it. Having said that, I have an application that is a bridge between two databases. It is prone to a low memory fragmentation that requires that I restart it 2-3 times every year.

The solution is this thread.

That is why I should be interested in the size of executable to not be get beaten by you? Strange but okay. Now please ASAP implement to show the size of executable on compile!

In that case, you should answer to us the important question. Why would anyone care after every compile on the size of an executable file. We are eager to find out the reasons. It is now the most important topic on this forum and our questions remain unanswered.

Why would it matter if it is 10MB or 100MB or even 1000MB?

Please read the previous sentence: "I doubt that nobody would buy any product if it was available for free to write an AI prompt:" I wrote if AI would learn everything from our source and would be able to generate such an application. Companies would not be able to sell their products. Everyone would using AI generate the application they want / need. Without buying custom or available programs. Yes I am aware also on various "SPAM" youtube videos how you can get rich using AI using prompts to generate application for stock trading based on AI and similair. I block those videos as soon as Youtube tries to show them.

I believe the last perfect IDE was Turbo Pascal?

Usually the source code of the closed source application is a top secret. That might contain algorithms that are fine tuned, most products are developed and fined tuned for years. I doubt that nobody would buy any product if it was available for free to write an AI prompt: Write and compile an application that behaves like application X that is 200% more efficient and consumes less memory. Beside as Dalija wrote there is a chance that a large company will ignore the law. I believe there were some law suits on that matter for example the Volkswagen diesel scandal. I doubt that nobody noticed that they were breaking laws. Similairly tech companies from time to time get sued for various mistakes when they break the law.

do not forget that multi-line strings completely broke the IDE. For D13 they will have to change the code in the IDE to support them.

you cannot do add a property to a class that doesn't have it.
