ANN:DDevExtensions is now on GitHub

One of the options besides adding already plugged in ones was to alert when you plug one in but I didn't test it. Use local resources on Hyper-V virtual machine with VMConnect

And the sheer number of bug fixes since Feb 24th shows we are nearly caught up 🤣

Sure, but what about all those free skins 🙂

Thinking of donating that when/if it becomes available 🙂

Last time I had a similar issue I simply used a DX Adorner.. perhaps you can use a panel that changes parent, visibility and is re positioned and be done with it.. This works because those would cover a disabled/dimmed tab but be accessible since they aren't parented by the tab..

I'm confused, what's the reason for wanting your controls to look Un-Dimmed? ..and if that is the case why not custom draw just your Tabsheet/Panel background dimmed?

That's cheap, there is most likely a lot more in those double secret fixes..

Declaration: {$IF NOT DECLARED(RegDeleteTree)} function RegDeleteTree(hKey: HKEY; lpSubKey: LPCTSTR):LONG ; stdcall; external advapi32 name 'RegDeleteTreeW' delayed; {$IFEND DECLARED(RegDeleteTree)}

Where is that? As for GlobalStopEvent, I simply use a TThread Helper with a private class FShutdownEvent. Every thread uses TWait.For<whatnot> which allows multiple handles and always adds the ShutdownEvent, within the Thread's Execution one can call TWait.IsShutdown without waiting.. Very close to:

I use a global TEvent that is set at shutdown, all my wait functions check that and all threads check it either through wait or in their execute methods.

Not really, that searchable data had huge value. Most weird issues/errors had many iterations of fixes and additional information. Certainly while stuck with several of those over the years a quick search was all that was needed.. its the difference between a few minutes and an extended pause..

Assuming you have no 'explicit COLLATE ' in your tables you can use ALTER CHARACTER SET on an empty DB and batch move data into that. Or add this to your creation statement, keep in mind there where speed issues with UNICODE_CI_AI until v3.07: CREATE DATABASE :FileName USER :UserName PASSWORD :Pwd PAGE_SIZE 16384 default character set UTF8 collation UNICODE_CI_AI ;

You mean while they repeatedly shut down and wipe historic info from the newsgroups and the forum for extended periods? Because I thought it was a perfect split, SO for code stuff and those Newsgroups and Forums for hard to figure out errors and missing documentation.
