I usually use notepad++ when touching the dfms as text. But for viewing you could do the following. Select desired nest in design and copy. Open new Vcl form. Paste selected controls on edit form Adjust controls Paste adjusted controls back to source design window. Make new unit an inline or embedded frame to reduce nesting in source form? Lazarus leaves the text view up once viewed as text but not really useful most of the time.

Tell they tabs Ok in IDE or XL spreadsheet viewed across a sizable monitor not for a phone! Set the tabvisible to False and use a Button captioned with '...' to show list that 'spins on touch'. show they the MultiviewDemo or TCardPanel for alternatives. Pat

Could it be that a 11.0 project was copied and renamed to a 11.2 project without changing the guid of new 11.2 project so Delphi 11.2 still looks at 11.0 project source history? Pat

Assign the same mouse enter and mouse leave event for each of the controls in question. Looking at the .dfm as text we can see that the same mouse enter / leave event was manually set. object Rectangle1: TRectangle Position.X = 80.000000000000000000 Position.Y = 232.000000000000000000 Size.Width = 489.000000000000000000 Size.Height = 177.000000000000000000 Size.PlatformDefault = False OnMouseEnter = Panel1MouseEnter OnMouseLeave = Panel1MouseLeave object Button1: TButton Position.X = 128.000000000000000000 Position.Y = 74.000000000000000000 TabOrder = 2 Text = 'Button1' TextSettings.Trimming = None OnMouseEnter = Panel1MouseEnter OnMouseLeave = Panel1MouseLeave end object Button2: TButton Position.X = 352.000000000000000000 Position.Y = 70.000000000000000000 Size.Width = 89.000000000000000000 Size.Height = 27.000000000000000000 Size.PlatformDefault = False TabOrder = 1 Text = 'Button2' TextSettings.Trimming = None OnMouseEnter = Panel1MouseEnter OnMouseLeave = Panel1MouseLeave end end The following is assigned event. procedure TForm8.Panel1MouseEnter(Sender: TObject); begin Caption := 'Hovering over ' + TControl(Sender).name; Rectangle1.Fill.Color := TAlphaColorRec.Red; end; procedure TForm8.Panel1MouseLeave(Sender: TObject); begin Caption := 'Not hovering over ' + Rectangle1.Name; Rectangle1.Fill.Color := TAlphaColorRec.Green; end;

Alternate way. Consider program schema to 'Broker' serving UI by listening to events In FMX you can use TControl where in VCL TWinControl usually needed. Meaning only deal with the components. The broker or server of Application sits in a Datamodule. This broker listens for User generated events and updates the Control UI in response. Also the broker updates the UI on timer events. Using java style to find controls ClassName 'TStringGrid' vs ClassType(TStringGrid) to find controls to assign the update. The FMX allows forms considered as TControls where in VCL screen.formname is used to find form needed. Stream in the forms dfm Controls change fixup~to bind the updates Need less timers Uwe's shows one cycle three deep on a project with 30 forms Alex's graph works well too.

For Gilbert AZ, I would visit the local maker spaces and visit with the people in each to find possible people looking for full time work. https://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=makerspaces&find_loc=Gilbert%2C+AZ The University down should have a space too. Crash one of their job fairs for students looking for work or contact their placement office for candidates. Plan B: Conduct training sessions at one of these spaces to roll your own enlightened employee.

Another source is the source in Vcl.WinXCalendars.pas if your Delphi is new enough. Look at TBaseCalendarAnimation in how it updates on its timerevent.

I had a path issue to my mycontrolLibrary. I fixed by making a hard path to it. Though this is on Windows and not ARM it still may useful. Is check if the IDE can "see" the namespaces in uses clause by hovering over them. If not try a syntax check or compile after manually loading unit not "seen" until the IDE shows the blue tag. After a few days the need to 'prime' the IDE went away and no more small empty blue tags.

Pre-make may be a bad 'fork' 😞 Otherwise saving the treeview and and reloading the treeview could allow a game to be restarted at the level the game was when tree was saved. Rather than needing to play the game at lower levels each time starting the game. Loading the game saved at higher level would save the users time. Or does the menu already have this feature?

One. Just load a pre made with TV.LoadFromFile(wellformedTV.txt) and hookup as needed. Two. Your onidle is missing the pausing and userpause Booleans used in other Lemmix repros. So a Pause can not exit the onidle event.

What does the SetInfo do on the TV.onclick? I populate my treeview childnodes by finding all the menuitems at startup. Then assign the menuitems onclick to the TV. The TV then follows the menu settings. Emba has Space Rocks game on Getit. Jim M uses a list to animate the rocks as they created and destroyed. Treeview has savetofile and loadfromfile. How is the game paused? is it ctrl- C? In the future pause the game not the IDE, insert a breakpoint, and restart the game. The IDE will then pause at breakpoint.

Also the 290 version should be given a new guid unless using the '280' source is wanted. A new interface needs a new guid.

I didn't know about tabcontrols. Just started styles last month. Here's my stab at it using 'Tabber' for the symbol of the TabControl Sender vs 'control' and an assignable TStylefont enum. procedure TForm7.TabControl1DrawTab(Tabber: TCustomTabControl; TabIndex: Integer; const Rect: TRect; Active: Boolean); var TabStr:String; Pt : TPoint; R: TRect; TabUnderMouse:Integer; JohnFontcolorStyle: TStyleFont; begin with Tabber do begin Pt := ScreenToClient(Mouse.CursorPos); TabUnderMouse := IndexOfTabAt(Pt.X, Pt.Y); // Setting default font color to normal JohnFontcolorStyle := sfTabTextActiveNormal; if (TabUnderMouse = TabIndex) and Active then JohnFontcolorStyle := sfTabTextActiveHot; if Active then JohnFontcolorStyle := sfTabTextActiveNormal; if TabUnderMouse = TabIndex then JohnFontcolorStyle := sfTabTextInActiveHot; with Canvas do begin R := Rect; Font.Color := TStyleManager.ActiveStyle.GetStyleFontColor (JohnFontcolorStyle); if TabIndex = 0 then Font.Style := [fsStrikeout]; TabStr := (Tabber as TTabControl).Tabs[TabIndex]; // ? Brush.Style := bsClear; DrawText(Handle, PChar(TabStr), Length(TabStr), R, DT_SINGLELINE or DT_VCENTER or DT_CENTER); end; end;

Set the DB to read only in viewing mode to prevent inadvertent record changes. Have the user log in when updating a record.

Inside of Word record a macro doing your steps. Then use the terms found in Word's macro source in your Delphi source.
