    difference .optset and .dproj file

    IMO its best to stay away from those, still at least one open bug report RSP-17558, this one is the worst and nearly 5 years old: RSP-14723.

    Several F2084 Internal Error on Delphi 10.4.2

    Or when you start using some of the IDE features meant to help you manage large projects..

    Fill Class Variables from a table row??

    RSP-35486 TRttiField.SetValue breaks past bevaviour with Null and String
  8. Not if you you code it to respond to the Classes.SyncEvent : https://stackoverflow.com/a/61022449 I use both, in one case I have many threads collecting data and triggering updates to a form while getting ready to launch another Task I don't want to pause the updates so a call gets wrapped in an Async which uses the trick above.. but I try to only do that for single calls that are guaranteed to take a short time.
  9. This scenario doesn't sound like it needs Async at all. Start a thread with an OnTerminate Event Disable all user input and show a busy signal When the thread completes the event fires and all reverts back to normal For the few cases that Async is needed there is `MsgWaitForMultipleObjects`..

  11. Nearly all forms I show modal return a result. At the most basic level all these forms are inherited from one base form which has this code: class function TBaseDialogForm.ShowDialog(AOwner: TComponent): Boolean; begin with Create(AOwner) do try Result := ShowModal = mrOK; finally Free; end; end; class function ShowDialog(AOwner: TComponent): Boolean; virtual;

    To paraphrase a post; it now takes two MVPs to update a plug-in for D11 HighDPI..

    Firebird Admin Tool

    Always loved Flamerobin, one of the best functions in Flamerobin is their quick way to 'Generate rebuild script'..

    UAC request minimized instead of full-screen

    I also ran a couple of tests and it made no diff; Zero, GetDesktopHandle, GetActiveWindow, Application.Handle and Mainform.handle all appeared as normal.
  18. Be happy with what you've got πŸ™‚

    UAC request minimized instead of full-screen

    My point was that your user can disable it which is why it may show up as you first described. Secondly, if an option can be set it can be read, that way at least you would be able to alert the user that such a thing might occur..

    D11 - A bridge too far.. :-(

    I wouldn't go as far as that but certainly there have been plenty of high end components where the source didn't compile. This tells me that few or none do this anymore.. used to be the norm..

    D11 - A bridge too far.. :-(

    Or offer a Community Edition first? The only problem with that would be that would increase the reported bug count dramatically..
  22. Stopped that after the 'Flow control Highlights' became available, at least in IDEs that support it.
