No, there is no way and it's documented that Duplicates works only for sorted lists: Set Duplicates to specify what should happen when an attempt is made to add a duplicate string to a sorted list. The CaseSensitive property controls whether two strings are considered duplicates if they are identical except for differences in case. The value of Duplicates should be one of the following.

Try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1251 one character is undefined hex 98. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1250 there 5 undefined characters.

Did you filled a bug report also with Microsoft? Delphi uses HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\MS Shell Dlg 2 on my Windows 10 that's still Tahoma.

If I remember correctly try ... finally was not effecting windows. I am using VCL for Windows so I could be still fine of course since I am enjoying my 2020 vacation I will test it in more details when I return to work.

The patch is looking good after 3 minutes of testing 🙂

I have no experience with Interbase but a general sql could be: select itemno, sum(case when tname='Buy' then qty*uprice else 0 end) as totalbuy, sum(case when tname='Sell' then qty*uprice else 0 end) as totalsell, sum(case when tname='Return' then qty*uprice else 0 end) as totalreturn from <Your table> group by 1

We know that a bug in the compiler has been detected that affects several reported QC issues and with a help of a couple of developer the hotfix was tested a month ago. Unfortunately it's a top secret information what delayed the hotfix.

Please not on their website' That site is the worst in the entire universe!

They're not I posted a link to a webinar 3 weeks ago where @Marco Cantu admitted that he is in charge to resolve this problem and to release the hotfix. I guess the cold weather in Europe made slowed the release a bit down.

You can work with project that doesn't use packages. This is top priority that's the reason they will release a hotfix as soon as it will be ready. Meanwhile do try to test the application without debugging as much as you can.

You can turn on logging on LSP and send it to Embarcadero. Warning the log will contain parts of your source code. For more information check out http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Code_Insight_Reference .

We can now only hope that before Delphi 10.5 we will get at least one release of 10.4.2 without a major bug. From 10.4 to 10.4.2 every release had some issues :(. Embarcadero should change the release schedule. Now they are following the principle: "Ship it when the next major bug is checked in!".

The fix is on the way at least for a month. It's really shame that Embarcadero is silent on this issue. It's not a minor bug, but a major showstopper!

Most probably. It would be nice to hear from @Marco Cantu what we can expect. I mean the hotfix is tested for a long period of time so it would be nice to know more about it.

You're here calculating the total seconds and minutes. Try: seconds:=t div 1000; minutes:=seconds div 60; seconds:=seconds-(minutes*60);

I'm afraid System.Diagnostics was not part of Delphi 7.

OnFieldchange for the field linked with dbCombobox1. I would also compare the field value, not the DBCombobox1.text.

The available information can be found at: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Code_Insight_Reference You can always try to enable logging and read the logfiles.

I posted a link yesterday to the Webinar where Marco Cantu answered to my question about the Internal Errors in Delphi 10.4.2 most probably it's a bug in the compiler/LSP whatever that causes multiple problems with the IDE. He said that some customers received the hotfix and the feedback is positive. He didn't said anything about when the fix will be available for the public. How much individual issues would I like to see? For every issue that could cause Internal Error, Access Violation or that the IDE dies. I can live with bugs that doesn't crash the IDE. Once again we cannot know what fix is being tested as Idera/Embarcadero will not give information about that to the public (in my opinion it's the wrong choice).

A wonder what company would react in a positive way for a quality ticket that nothing is working and the product is falling apart. An individual issue can be investigated and most probably be fixed, but a general statement that the *thing doesn't work* will not help in anyway. We have to wait for the hotfix that should fix the error that slipped into 10.4.2 and then report the new issues.

Unfortunately this RSP not even worth to read it there is no information in it it should be rejected.

This is most we can know about the current status.

There was a "problematic" check-in to the codebase before the release of the Delphi 10.4.2 that was not detected in time. Some customers are already testing the hotfix that supposed to fix the bug. Unfortunately there is no public information what will this hotfix fix and if there is still some issues that requires another fix.

Maybe heroes from the Marvel Universe are capable to read fast enough and click I just get headache when for some reason get to the site.

Well they're in the process to make a unique web experience. It will take maybe another 10-15 years. When finished it will be the greatest. I just hope that it will be more static. I wonder who thinks that those sliding topics at https://blogs.embarcadero.com/ is useful! It slides out before you could click. What's wrong with the traditional sites where you can see the links and click on them? (I know most probably they bought this technology and must showcase it everywhere, I will just visit the site only when it is necessary.)
