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..

Which implementation of this is easier to understand?
FredS replied to dummzeuch's topic in Algorithms, Data Structures and Class Design
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. -

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. [500C4163]{rtl280.bpl } System.TypInfo.GetEnumName (Line 1630, "System.TypInfo.pas" + 20) + $4 [5005FAC2]{rtl280.bpl } System.UTF8IdentStringCompare (Line 17746, "System.pas" + 3) + $4 [50CED2C2]{vcl280.bpl } Vcl.StdCtrls.TCustomCombo.GetItemIndex (Line 4276, "Vcl.StdCtrls.pas" + 4) + $11 [500C40FF]{rtl280.bpl } System.TypInfo.GetEnumName (Line 1616, "System.TypInfo.pas" + 6) + $C [170EDFBD]{mmx_bds22.dll} PropInfo.TObjectAccess.GetValues (Line 507, "PropInfo.pas" + 7) + $29 [170ED74C]{mmx_bds22.dll} PropInfo.CopyProperties (Line 198, "PropInfo.pas" + 12) + $9 [1735F78F]{mmx_bds22.dll} PascalOptionsFrm.TMMXPascalOptionsForm.ApplySettings (Line 104, "PascalOptionsFrm.pas" + 1) + $14 [17248612]{mmx_bds22.dll} MMX.Options.Form.TOptionsPage.ApplySettings (Line 720, "MMX.Options.Form.pas" + 2) + $6 [17247CA1]{mmx_bds22.dll} MMX.Options.Form.TOptionsShellForm.ApplySettings (Line 435, "MMX.Options.Form.pas" + 3) + $F [17247BC1]{mmx_bds22.dll} MMX.Options.Form.TOptionsShellForm.ApplyBtnClick (Line 389, "MMX.Options.Form.pas" + 2) + $2 [50CC8223]{vcl280.bpl } Vcl.Controls.TControl.Click (Line 7660, "Vcl.Controls.pas" + 9) + $8 [50CF03F6]{vcl280.bpl } Vcl.StdCtrls.TCustomButton.Click (Line 5875, "Vcl.StdCtrls.pas" + 3) + $2 [50CF1580]{vcl280.bpl } Vcl.StdCtrls.TCustomButton.CNCommand (Line 6510, "Vcl.StdCtrls.pas" + 1) + $B Similar may have happened while altering 'Metrics' but this one is repeatable when changing the 'String Identifier Prefix' and either clicking 'Apply' or 'OK'. 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..

15.0.47 Access violation during options>string conversion
FredS replied to FredS's topic in MMX Code Explorer
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.. -
How to focus a window from another application?
FredS replied to Lajos Juhász's topic in Windows API
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); -
How to focus a window from another application?
FredS replied to Lajos Juhász's topic in Windows API
@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. -

FredS replied to Lajos Juhász's topic in Windows API
This works for me, even switches desktops if you have more that one: BringWindowToTop(FindWindow( nil,'Calculator')); EDIT: the desktop switching is a bit flaky though.. -

DDevExtensions with: TDataModule.PixelsPerInch property remover
FredS posted a topic in Delphi Third-Party
New branch: https://github.com/fschetterer/DDevExtensions/tree/RemoveDMPixelsPerInch Makes it easier to share code with older versions of Delphi. Although it works fine here it could use some testing before I add a pull request. -
You can't really expect a new feature like that to be implemented in under 3 years.. /s
-
I canceled out of that when it came up, was early during my beta testing the release version 🙂 After the 'What's New' page became available I saw some bragging about implementing such a 'feature' but it all felt wrong. First it asked to install Abbrevia and Lockbox which where already installed but NOT by Getit, then why on earth add Getit to my package.. Anyhow, only so many RSPs one wants to file in a day..

FredS replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Welcome is the first thing I remove, followed by Refactoring and Live Binding.. sure seems to make the rest a lot more lightweight.. -
They most likely have justified abandonment issues..

Delphi 11 Windows XP compatibility tweak
FredS replied to mitzi's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal
Yup, I have one running but don't expect newer versions of Delphi to be practical for any updates to that code..
