    Hi,

    I'm implementing a drag&drop process in a TListView and I'd like to animate the selected Item (or group item).
    For this I think we would need to create a bitmap of the selected item to be able then to move it around in the drag process.

    Is there any way to actually determine the coordinates, width, height of the Item, and make a bitmap of it on the fly?
    Thanks for any clue about that.

    Dave,

    I just got an email saying that when the customer tried to run our program they got an error telling him it needs to be updated to be compatible.

    When I asked it program ran after the error message i was told no. I have no further info.

    I am upgrading one of my ipads to IOS 15 to see what happens and will post the results.

    My program runs fine on IOS 14.8

     

    After I upgrade iOS I have many 3rd party apps that won't launch with the same error message. Each time I say "Oh no! I need them!". 
    I uninstall them and re-install them and they just plain work without anything done differently.

    Yes I found that XCode being upgraded from the AppStore is sometimes, not always, a pain, taking hours to finalize the latest 2%.
    But it always eventually fully upgraded.
    Now it's unknown why it takes so much time, not being related to a relatively quick download, it's really the upgrade process that seems screwed.

    Does not work for me, The new version 11 is NOT listed, even after clicking Update.

    I have contacted Support several hours ago, no answer yet.

    This is not a nice experience.

    Ole

    Worse for me. The 11 version IS listed but to no help.

    Remove it, blank, add it. Says ok. But then complains about needing a valid license (copy/pasted from the My Embercadero portal, so no typo)

    Not working ...... But on the https://my.embarcadero.com/#registeredProduct page I can see all the licences including Delphi 11.

    What to do?

    Same for me. I have a clean Windows install, no previous version installed. No license file (.slip files) anywhere on the disk.
    The license portal shows Rad Studio 11 Enterprise as Active and Registered.

    No way to install it. Always telling me I need a valid license.

    The Advanced > Update, Remove, Add again options have no effect besides making me lose my time (in any order or sequence).

    I mean... c'mon, just handed 2'200USD to upgrade and can't install.

    Hi all,

    I need my app to be able to receive docs sent from other apps on mobile devices. I guess that you have to use the Share option on any 3rd party app and then send it to my Delphi app... In a way, it's a manner of replacing drag&drop from the desktop.


    Anybody knows whether there are documented guidelines on how to send documents to a Delphi app on mobile devices?
    The share mechanism (I guess) has to be able to list my app as a recipient.
    How do we make

    1- the Delphi app available as a recipient (seen as such by other apps)

    2-how do we trigger (react) when the Delphi app receives the document?
     

    Thanks for any guidance if you already tinkered with such approach!

    🙂

    Mida does most of the work but a lot of controls won't migrate. But at least you will have a pretty good skeleton which keeps most controls with their associated names and Events, but it's far from being perfect. If you VCL forms are very complex, I think you'd better off starting from fresh with an FMX clean form: that also could be a good opportunity to re-think your forms and GUI. That's where two screens come handy: VCL on the left, FMX on the right 🙂 

    Now, for DBGrids, they don't exist in FMX so you should put a grid or stringgrid depending on what you display and then link it to data using LiveBindings.

    Thanks,
    They just answered my question and plan cross-platform support very soon.

    We are planning to add cross-platform compatibility with macOS, iOS and Android support soon.

    This could be great news. I'll definitely give it a try.

    Hi,

    Just saw the page about Absolute Database from the Embarcadero blog about the secret alternative for SQLite...

    But I asked them, but they didn't answer...

    To me being an alternative to SQLite means it's cross-platform.
    Is this the case? Absolute seems to be only Windows. 
    Didn't find anything on their website.

    Any experience with that tool to share with the community?
    Thanks

    No, as weabow said and as stated in the requirements, you need XCode and a MAC to deploy to Mac or iOS/iPadOS

    You can't sideload apps to Apple devices for security reasons. They need to be signed by certificates issued by Apple.

    Simulator is part of XCode and works only on a Mac.

     You may find solution to actually have Macs as a Service, but it's pretty expensive most of the time.

     

    You can't develop and target iOS and macOS without a Mac. Everything you target to those OS are packaged and signed for you through XCode.

     

    That's why you would need Paralle or VMWare Fusion on a Mac in order to run Rad Studio in a Windows environment and be able to talk to the Mac.

    Ok  thanks for that info. I did not formulate correctly my question.

     

    I tried it but it doesn't appear no matter where I set it to true or not.

    In the LiveBindings designer I used my ListView Item main field to link it to ItemHeader.Text and IntemHeader.Break.
    I correctly see the groups in my listview, it's fine, but no index on the right.

    The NativeOptions is set to Indexed = true (Grouped = true or false doesn't affect the result)

     

    [Added: It works, the ListView should be set to ControlType = Platform] 

     

    But it works only on iOS. I need something that would on Windows, macOS and Android?
    Is there anything similar that works on all platforms?

    Something like what was available on the first versions of Outlook in the contact section.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    Does anybody know whether a Index component exists for lists?
    In iOS it's sectionIndexTitlesForTableView and it adds the alphabetic index on the right of the list for quick jumping (see picture).

    I have been suggested to add a floating frame and build it myself, but I can foresee the problems and incompatibilities on all platforms

    If something already exists, I would be happy to learn about it.

    Thanks for any help

    Just to make sure everything is set correctly on your side.
    Assuming you're using 10.4.2
    * PAServer on the Mac should be version 12.2.10.3

    * In Delphi, if you go to Tools > Options... > Deployment > Provisioning
    Select Build Type iOS Device 64-bit - Development

    You should have something like on the picture attached
    If you don't, does it change anything if you switch from Auto in the Provision Profile combo box to anything else that might be there?

    All Entitlement files should be removed from your projet before rebuilding it.


    Also, if you start a totally blank app and compile it to iOS, does it work?
