Notepad++ next 🙂

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;

Maybe looking for a third MVP to help out 🙂

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

Sure, its only been what.. well under a decade 🙂

Explains some complaints I've heard..

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

I also ran a couple of tests and it made no diff; Zero, GetDesktopHandle, GetActiveWindow, Application.Handle and Mainform.handle all appeared as normal.

Be happy with what you've got 🙂

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..

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..

This setup works for me:

Or offer a Community Edition first? The only problem with that would be that would increase the reported bug count dramatically..

Stopped that after the 'Flow control Highlights' became available, at least in IDEs that support it.

Its a bad feature: Disable Full-Screen Windows 10 User Account Control (UAC) Prompts On Your PC, Here’s How

This version has so far worked well on Win7, but when altering options there is (repeatable) this: Access violation at address 500C4163 in module 'rtl280.bpl'. Read of address 17775000.

It won't save the changes, after a restart if I go in and ONLY change this single option it works. Changing 3 or 4 using 'Apply' a couple of times and coming back to this ends the same way..

Still using MMX 14.05 on Win10 🙂 Which makes it easier to ignore all those parsing errors! That new RED icon makes you look at all those directives which are ignored.. I may just revert to 14.05 on Win7 and leave that alone, if no other users are reporting these issues and you can't reproduce then we may just leave it at that. I am noticing some slow down since installing 15.0.47 in D11.. and LSP issues. Could be those exceptions and a reboot is needed..

Unfortunate History tells me that this is when the real headaches get started.. unlike everyone that wants a bug report with full details from coders, the end user base usually just tosses it out and don't even bother to report those 'unknown' issues..

Sure seems that way, won a bet that we'd have 10.5 before key issues in 10.4 where solved..

So at least one step above 'unusable' 🙂

Thanks, but D11 isn't ready to leave the 'Sandbox' yet but maybe eventually..

BringWindowToTop give it keyboard focus here.. of course I'm not dealing with minimized.. FYI it also gets focus if on a different virtual desktop. This works here, suspended or not.. hFrame := FindWindow('ApplicationFrameWindow', 'Calculator'); if isIconic(hFrame) then ShowWindow(hFrame, SW_RESTORE) else BringWindowToTop(hFrame);

@Lajos Juhász I assume you replied to me.. best to use a tag like I just did or quote some part of the text else a user never gets alerted. Only checked back here because of a 'Like'.. Maybe we are missing some info? All this assumes your calls are made from the Active input Window, and Calculator actually has the 'Calculator' caption. I did run SpyXX first and my version 20H2 has an actual window 'Calculator' buried within that framework and BringWindowToTop claims, and does on my system, bring that to the Top.
