Why not put a break point in it and use the call stack to see who needs it since you found the unit. Or comment out half the enums or settings in it. If it's only a dcu--view in a text editor. The graph tool does have a build order output that could in help placing a breakpoint when compiling when unit is renamed.

Style sludge and shadow it's hard to know which window is showmodal. I like to move the cursor to control being surfaced to help end user know which window has focus. Windows is flashing the active window though the smoke to alert you pushing buttons on inactive window.

I don't want to change anything about other controls, I just need a control to be on top of all others. Here's putting the label on a tabsheet. This allows giving a context to incoming label. By using tabsheets in the IDE you can group controls readily Then show only what is needed in runtime. var ts: TTabsheet; var labelNu: Integer = 1; procedure TForm1.AddLabelwithTabbedIndexClick(Sender: TObject); begin ts:= TTabsheet.Create(Self); ts.PageControl := PageControl1; ts.Caption := LabelNu.ToString; var llabel := TLabel.Create(Self); //was TStaticText llabel.Name := 'llabel' + LabelNu.ToString; lLabel.Caption := 'label&' + LabelNu.ToString; lLabel.Parent := ts; //LLabel.TabStop := True; ts.TabVisible := True; Inc(labelNu); end; procedure TForm1.RandomShowHideTabClick(Sender: TObject); begin ts := PageControl1.Pages[Random(PageControl1.PageCount)]; with ts do TabVisible := not tabVisible; end; procedure TForm1.Showllabel1Click(Sender: TObject); begin var lbl := FindComponent('llabel1'); (lbl as TControl).show; end;

You could hide the pagecontrol to show the label parented to the form or change the label parent to control on top. I would use a Tpanel set to top align that "pushes" the Tabsheet/pagecontrol down to mimic the banners used in MS's XL when showing.

To find what is not connected, use the debugger. Switch from the form view ~design tab to the code view and insert a breakpoint on a line that has a blue dot on it in left gutter. Using F5 will cover the blue with red dot if the project is in debug mode selected in manager. Test the Button click it should halt program at the program line selected. Test the DrawGrid ondraw event next. If the program doesn't break at the breakpoint, inspect if the Drawgrid1 event ondraw is assigned using the object inspector Events tag.

Observations 12 Patch vs 11.3 12 eats inifile lines commented out using ; Unsure if the IDE or program made is doing it. 12 IDE editor tabs get resized just like GEx tabs when hot switching from 4K to low resolution. Suggesting that Style needs applied for high DPI to work. An executable with style seems to "right" size readily:)

Just a shake down by the government. Consider the Tik-Tok uproar last year. The Tik-Tok lobbyists silenced the talk by talking to the complainers and voila Tik-Tok is good. If you want your stuff used get a good lobbyist!

Why not do it yourself. First build arduino project with openwire. https://blogs.embarcadero.com/control-and-communicate-with-arduino-device-in-this-innovative-software-built-in-delphi/ Then should be able to implement a project with your device and desired features.

Here is a sample of runtime created controls that use same string. Plus assigns event handler. const InputPLC256 = 'x0,x1,x32,pin64,pin128,pin255,None'; procedure TForm1.Button4Click(Sender: TObject); begin for var I := 1 to 100 do begin var P := TPanel.Create(Self); with P do begin Name := 'TagInputEdit_' + I.ToString; SetBounds(280 - 5, 17 + I * 34, 204, 30); Parent := Self; Caption := ''; end; var L := TLabel.Create(Self); with L do begin SetBounds(80, 6, 64, 22); Parent := P; end; var CB := TComboBox.Create(Self); with CB do begin SetBounds(5, 3, 65, 22); Parent := P; Show; onchange := TagUpdater; Tag := NativeInt(L); items.CommaText := InputPLC256;//memo1.Lines; Text := Items[Random(items.Count)-1]; L.Caption := Text; end; end; end; procedure TForm1.TagUpdater(Sender: Tobject); begin var S := Sender as TComboBox; var L := TLabel(S.Tag); var N := S.Parent.Name; L.Caption := Format('%s %s', [N, S.Text]); end;

Use a usb cord to connect to laptop and try some of the demos of fmx 🙂

Try setting the TabStop property of Radiogroup to True when none of the controls are selected. In the RadioGroups.OnEnter set focus on a control so keys can change the selection as needed. //Need RG .TabStop prop set to True to 'focus' the groupbox when its control index //is -1; procedure TformInstructorStation.RadioGroup2Enter(Sender: TObject); begin with Sender as TRadioGroup do if ItemIndex = -1 then TRadioButton(Controls[0]).SetFocus; //(Sender as TRadioGroup).OnEnter := nil; end;

How about a collection of check boxes TCheckListBox The sample simply clears the checkboxes that were in the IDE and adds the ones that are in Array<string> To extend you would change the Panel and Tstrings that the UI uses update the backend. Here the back end simply updates the UI when programs are used. It uses a Ddd pattern Data driven pattern. " Update the data early and often" class function TptrApps.HookInUI(inSG: TStringGrid; inLog: TStrings; inChBxs: TcheckListBox; inBanner: TPanel): TptrApps; begin Result := nil; focusedApp := @cacheApp; var R := TptrApps.Create; R.ChBxs := inChBxs; R.ChBxs.OnClick := R.changeExesList; R.ChBxs.Items.Clear; for var I := Low(goodApps) to High(goodApps) do begin R.ChBxs.Items.add(goodApps[I]); R.ChBxs.Checked[I] := True; ... const selfClass = 'FrmPat'; GoodApps: Tarray<string> = [cEveryThing,'Shell_TrayWnd','Notepad', 'TAppBuilder', 'Window', 'Chrome_WidgetWin_1', 'Notepad++', selfClass, 'TfmPeInformation' ];

Or like the minesweeper game. Test for "open water" or "good ice". A test returns the position in range with start and stop of range when found and could return the size of the "open water" when not found.

Outlook's contact info is a vcard file and calendar event is vcalendar *.vcs or *.ics file. The employee calendar shows the events provided by the calendars the employee has access to. Example of email attachment https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/how-to-insert-attachment-to-recurring-meeting You would simply add an event attachment to the email of employee. But better to educate the office staff how to use Outlook calendar by having the secretary set the events on the employee calendars as needed. Employee leave requests are sent to office manager. If approved the secretary amends the department's calendar which updates the employee calendar. The employee looks at the calendar events provided by the secretary. The secretary knows when the employee knows of a calendar event by the employee opening an email with a calendar event attachment and confirming the event.

Here's my 7 cents worth. 'Explicitly' use a's Value to remove need for braces. var a: TplFilterValue<Boolean>; B: Boolean; procedure //Boolean User output Bout (argS: string; aB: Boolean); begin writeln(argS + ' = ', aB); end; function NotFixup(aB: TplFilterValue<Boolean>): Boolean; begin Result := not aB.Value; end; begin try a.Value := True; //if not a then Bout('not a', not a); Bout('a or True', a or True); Bout('a and True', a and True); Writeln(' NotFixup'); //if not a or True then // <<--- Error [dcc32 Error] E2015 Operator not applicable to this operand type Bout('Notfixup(a) or True', NotFixup(a) or True); Bout('NotFixup(a or True)', NotFixup(a or True)); Writeln(' Precedence manual sort fix'); // Bout('True or not (a)', True or not (a)); Bout('True or not a', True or not a); Writeln(' not precedence working for boolean here'); B := a; Bout('not B or True', not B or True); a := not B or True; Writeln(' Or use a''''s Value explicitly :)'); Bout('not a.value or True', not a.value or True); readln; except on E: Exception do Writeln(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message); end; end.

// Define a record type as a data class data class cpRecord( var UI: TStringGrid, // Assuming this is a custom type var compute: TProc, // Assuming this is a functional type var Value: PDouble // Assuming this is a pointer type ) // Define a custom generic list as a subclass of MutableList class TcustomList : MutableList<cpRecord> { // Delegate the implementation to an ArrayList private val list = ArrayList<cpRecord>() // Implement the abstract methods of MutableList override val size: Int get() = list.size ... I think "port"able coding should be what is taught. Starting with Excel. Above code from a "Bing" prompt porting a Delphi TList<PRecord> to Kotlin. The "Precords" allow more shallow code on D jobs and should allow a port on the Android side. In the past one could simply use JS.evaluate(some script).

Here is a sample using a ColorDialog and ListBox. Note In the IDE you can interact with the colordialog on the form to preload custom colors. The ColorDialog can be to show full with in object inspector. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin If ColorDialog1.Execute Then Listbox1.Items := ColorDialog1.CustomColors; end; procedure TForm1.ListBox1Click(Sender: TObject); begin if Sender is TListBox then begin var lb := TListBox(Sender); var I := lb.ItemIndex; Color := StrtoInt('$' + lb .Items .ValueFromIndex[I] ); end; end;

But overclocking is fun! Using paint; override; with say TShape a tGraphicalControl allows using inherited to draw existing shape and add text as needed. Not using inherited means drawing your own polygon. The sample simply draws over the TShape control Ok But the focus rect yielded some relics. In the past it was necessary to exit a timer event when busy or in debug mode. Even with example switches the following stacks up clicks events. I put a call to Button8click in the formPaint and it ran but slowly. Otherwise just invalidate the controls as needed. var Button8clickIsBusy: Integer = 0; var OneShot: Boolean = False; procedure TForm1.Button8Click(Sender: TObject); const Red = clRed; Green = clGreen; Colors: Array of Tcolor = [clGreen,clRed,clBlue,clYellow]; var sw: TStopwatch; sX: string; function RandomFontColor: Tcolor; begin var Clr := High(Colors); var R := Random(Clr); Result := Colors[R]; end; begin sw.Reset; sw.Start; If Oneshot then Exit; If Button8clickIsBusy > 0 then begin Canvas.TextOut(10,10,'Drawing on Canvas'); Caption := 'Busy ' + Button8clickIsBusy.ToString; Exit; end; //Canvas.Unlock; // may need Inc(Button8clickIsBusy); OneShot := True; const L = Shape1.Left + 5; const T = Shape1.Top + 5; var SP: Integer := 0; var X := -50; //Brush.Color := clmoneygreen; //Canvas.FillRect(BoundsRect); //hosed by style and not max windowstate Repeat sX := X.ToString; Canvas.Font.Color := RandomFontColor; Canvas.Font.Size := X; Canvas.TextOut(20, 20, sX); canvas.DrawFocusRect(Rect(22,22,X+X-3,(X-3)*2)); //on shape Canvas.Font.Color := RandomFontColor; Canvas.Font.Size := -X; Canvas.TextOut(L, T, sX); Sleep(20); Canvas.Font.Color := clWindowFrame; canvas.DrawFocusRect(Rect(22,22,X+X-3,(X-3)*2)); Inc(X); Until x > 50; Button8clickIsBusy := 0; sw.Stop; Canvas.TextOut( 10,100,'Done et='+ sw.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString); Caption := 'Busy ' + Button8clickIsBusy.ToString; Oneshot := False; end;

I think this is a start Henney Lambda? Presentation 2020 NDC has mention of Borland's Pascal and Delphi in it. Any computer based training, books, and manuals needs be to discussed over what was learned and review the topics that are unclear should make the onboarding process a learning experience for you as well as the new guy. Also studying GExperts source and comments at https://blog.dummzeuch.de/2021/10/24/gexperts-1-3-19-alpha-for-delphi-11/ is good and what the Experts can do is useful!

Here's sample of updating lineseries and legend in real time I think the data points should the numbers and be in the legend Second the time axis is usually bottom axis. For old data pass in the datetime of the record and field name of number. s := FormatDateTime('ss', Frac(aSimTime)); Ptp := Chart1.Series[0]; if Ptp.Count > 300 then Ptp.Delete(0, 100); Chart1.Series[0].AddXY(now, FXY.y, s, clRed); Chart1.Series[0].Title := 'A ' + FXY.y.ToString; if Chart1.SeriesCount > 1 then begin Ptp := Chart1.Series[1]; Chart1.Series[1].AddXY(now, FXY.y + 5, '', clBlue); Chart1.Series[1].Title := 'A dgr ' + (FXY.y + 5).ToString; if Ptp.Count > 150 then Ptp.Delete(0, 50); end; end;

Try this, the tool tip shows the index which can used to access the string. Done in 11.3 var idx : Integer; const Nus: array of string = ['1', '2', '3']; begin try { TODO -oUser -cConsole Main : Insert code here } idx := IndexText ('3',Nus); WriteLn( idx); Writeln(nus[idx]); Readln;

Psychic surgery may be indicated for those with bad luck. 🙂 The only bad luck I know about is the disassembly window not showing on 12. Control-alt-d when stopped at a breakpoint only flickers the other debug floaters. 😞
