There's some D5 code for adjusting 10MHz transmitters elsewhere on site https://vk4adc.com/web/index.php/software-projects/55-vk4adc-utils/181-gps2time

Disable the controls When data is loaded have future event enable controls. Rather than a progress bar have windows 10 olympic ring showing until future event happens.

Question Is the modal box selections touchable? Should be able to change settings just touching and tapping. I would only surface the keyboard for passwords and text edits The Tnumberbox should be just the ticket here.

After saving as new form name Go in Object inspector and change the name of the form. the form new name is applied in the implementation as well. Or simply show controls in sequence setting visibility as needed.

How to gracefully get rid of the use of dictionaries?
Pat Foley replied to Shrinavat's topic in General Help
You might consider white boarding or build simple model. Consider N,S,E,W as UI. Use a heading for instance. So the instance turns left West or right East when heading North. Heading South turning left means heading East on the UI. Then the business of quarter turns could be solved by quadants or (heading + 360 +/90) mod 360. Or given TDirection = (dirN, dirE, dirS, dirW) // note changed heading: TDirection; Const quarterTurn = 1 halfTurn = 2 //change direction by adding subtracting the turn Heading := TDirection((4 + ord(Heading) + quarterTurn)mod 4); -
How to compare performance between Delphi versions?
Pat Foley replied to Mike Torrettinni's topic in General Help
I run 10.3 together with 10.4.1 and now 10.4.2. 10.2 seems old school -
some of the trouble is the windows need destroyed downto in for loop. Destroying the top window first changes the indexes of the window. So with for LItem in LItem in FRegisteredStyleHooks do LItem.Value.Free; We need a "downin" source VCl.themes line 7510. My take.

TAppBuilder ... WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.1629f15_r56_ad1 This form found in search menu item Find Class shows whatever namespace is scoped in the editor. Once a "class" or whatever is in the namespace is selected it moves to it in the edit window. The find references can then be clicked. These "gems" would be nice if they didn't hang the program.

Can Delphi randomize string 'Delphi'?
Pat Foley replied to Mike Torrettinni's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
Was thinking that its not getting up to 6 letters... So you saying simply throwing 6 dice with 52 lettered faces take more 2^10 throws. -

A Component Named xxxx Already Exists.
Pat Foley replied to RockWallaby's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
I been having the same issues with some custom components added to a package. I renamed the old BPLs to BPLxxs and seemed to have fixed it. //The IDE uses BPLs for showing components in design Have you used shift+ctrl+F to look for compxxx. When it was happening the component disappeared taking its method assignments with it. I would start second IDE and load back up copy to copy and paste aberrant component with property and method assignments. // When compiler detects unitsearchpath error I cancel loading fix the path first. If you sanitized your system could the problem be transported in the myProject.dproj? Maybe compare with earlier dproj? 10.2.3 (is Stoic does not "leave the room" or disappear like 10.4) when using find class in search menu then control B to see paths in IDE code editor. -
