Hi Dave,

Yes I have seen this and it works, but I'm not sure I can escape the "Edit" mode.
I'll study this. I just want to achieve a click or touch on any item and set it as selected/not selected...
But I guess that it works the same way under the hood.

Hi,

It seems that the MultiSelection property has disappeared from the TListView component. It was available in XE4 if I'm correct.

Any quick and smart way to allow the user to touch/click any TListView item and mark it as selected?

And then be able to access the list of the selected item? I'd like the list to draw each selected item's background in, say,  light blue!

Thanks for any light on the technics.

Steve

Thanks a lot for your help Dave,

Very useful. I'm going to dive into it right away 🙂

Hi,

Does anybody have experience with placing a control into the menu bar?
Mainly I'd like to add an active control in the Mac menu bar, or the Windows toolbar.
Is there a described or easy way to achieve that? A control that would, say, open a callout menu with information.

Thanks for any light

No that's the only error I get when quitting Rio 10.3.3

The main difference is line 475 instead of 474 🙂 and the stack address

I still have this error message when closing 10.2.3 and the latest GExperts 1.3.14 experimental twm 2019-09-08

Ok after tinkering with the .dproj file I decided to start from scratch, an empty project, added all my units and compiled.

No problems. 
Just had to add all the icons, splash screens, and the specifics in each Deployment.

Now it works.

Thanks all

I have an empty VM that just has Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and Rio 10.3.2
I can find some COMCTL32.DLL files

c:\windows\system32, version 5.82

c:\windows\SysWOW64, version 5.82

c:\Windows \WinSxS, version 5.82
None of them are actually in Rio.

Very strange.

I'm using an FMX app, not a VCL.

I removed all manifest and entitlement files, recompiled... still the same problem

Hi,

Just wanted to recompile an app I wrote a year ago that compiles fine under Tokyo, Seattle, Rio 10.3...
Now under 10.3.2 if I compile it, no matter what the target platform, I get this error message while debugging:

Project raised exception class EComponentError with message 'This control requires version 4.70 or great of COMCTL32.DLL'

Of course I have strictly no idea whatsoever of which component is at the source of the problem.

Any idea what could be the cause?

Thanks for any light.

Just compiled 1.3.13.77 and it crashes depending on a specific configuration with 10.3.2 (same on 10.3.1)

First, I moved GExperts to the Tools menu.

Then everything is fine, I can launch the IDE but it always stalls at launch time for about 20-30 seconds when stating "All IDE packages loaded".

Minor problem.

Now, it doesn't crash when exiting except when I uncheck "Disable all editor enhancements".

When unchecked, then I configure the editor toolbar with some commands I want.

Now when I exit RadStudio, I get the infamous Exception (see screenshot)

If I disable all editor enhancements, then exiting RadStudio is fine.

On the screenshot, Y:\prov\GExperts is the directly where I compiled 1.3.13.77

Hope this helps. Can anyone else with the crash confirm that editor enhancements are enabled?

Steve

Isn't OpenJDK already what is deployed with RadStudio now?
Also you can follow this recent blog to manually install OpenJDK

PC or Mac keyboard/mouse? 

PC Keyboard from Logitech K750 + Logitech MX Anywhere 2

16Gb of RAM

512GB SSD hard disk

It's a Macbook Pro from late 2013 and Windows 10 in the VM is faster than Windows 10 on my new HP Z4 tower with 32Gb RAM and 512Gb SSD... try to understand

Are you happy with the VMWare Fusion and are you using the normal or pro version?

Yes very happy.
I used to get the standard version without problems.
I switched to the pro one for other reasons (mainly subnets required for some Linux machines), but you absolutely don't need the PRO for RadStudio.

I have a MacBook Pro connected to 2 screens, one with MacOS and one with Windows running RadStudio.

I too use it as a desktop with a external keyboard and mouse.

And it's perfect if you're traveling, you still have the entire environment with you in one machine. That's my case, I travel a lot and can work wherever I am: country, city, plane, train, jungle, etc... 

But if you want multiple users, it's right that having a dedicated cheap Mac is best as you buy it only once and it's used by everyone.

The best thing is to have a real Mac and Windows into a VM that can directly access the macOS while both environment run concurrently.
I use VMWare Fusion for Windows 10 and it works flawlessly.
Hackintosh should work but it is illegal to have a Mac VM outside of a Mac environment. Once you have to deploy your iOS or macOS app via Xcode, you don't know whether this is traced down.

Cool,

Thanks for the info. I too have a macOS VM on my Mac to try those things, but I'm on a trip right now and the VM is on an external disk I don't carry with me. Big mistake. 

So I'll go forward and install XCode latest release as soon as I can get my hands on an Ethernet connection 🙂

Thanks

Hi,

Did someone here have the guts to try XCode 10.2 since it was released yesterday

and successfully compiled to iOS 64 bit and macOS?

Or does it break everything like most of the time, forcing us to stick to 10.1?

Thanks for any light on the matter.

Steve

Philipp,

Thanks for digging for us. Just like you, the problem is that I can't tell customers "well, just stick to Sierra or downgrade". That's why I created a ticket with Embarcadero.

They really have to fix this.

Did you try your executable on Hight Sierra and Sierra? I think it's a cascade of conditions that makes it not work 

Hi,

Is there a way to control which font and which size the IDE uses when printing source code?
No matter what I select for the Editor, it prints everything in Courrier 12, which is ways too big.

I can't find a setting controlling how the IDE would print the source files.

Thanks for any clue

Steve

Phil,

I think that you should revert to RadStudio Berlin and Xcode 9.x

The bug has been notified on RadStudio 10.2 and 10.3 and Xcode 10...

I set up a Mac Virtual Machine but didn't have time yet to test with Berlin and Xcode 9. That might be a solution, but not everyone has the luxury of several VMs, etc... I'm lucky I backup my development VMs so I can come back in time (up to C++Builder 6)...

But the bug has to be fixed. I mean, they still distribute the Bluetooth LE samples and they do not work.

I opened a support ticket with them (burnt one of my 3 allowed free tickets) just to be answered that this is a known bug in the Quality Portal and I should follow the ticket to be notified when solved. I told them that I already subscribed to the ticket but opened a case to speed things up. Now I don't call this very efficient (paid) support.

They told me that they would notify the engineers that the bug affects my business since I can't release my macOS product version. But I have very small hopes.

They say "Expanded support for iOS 12 and iPhone X series devices"

How is the "iPhone X" series addressed? There is no view or device simulation when working on the GUI.

Any iPhone X templates? I don't see anything.

or am I missing something?

Which Xcode version do you have? What is the SDK version you have imported into RadStudio?

Did you also connect your device to Xcode so it can process it in the Devices&Simulator window?

Hi thanks,

All BlueTooth devices work correctly with the Mac, including BT browsers, etc... 

Only the utilities compiled with 10.3 Rio don't work.

Strange.
