That kind of looks like DFM source. If you start in debug layout the Stack Trace and local variables on left slide outs could looked at breakpoints set. The VCL uses component streaming to build the IDE design window these components are streamed into the compiler to make an executable. The following example would be pasted on a form. Click on Button1 and assign a click event. compile the program. Copy all the text in memo and paste onto form in IDE design. Stop the exe and recompile. Try the Hello button it will be hooked to your button1click. Note may to remove margin=4 on older D Another feature is using control key down and mousedown on TForm will drill down to TObject. object Panel1: TPanel Left = 380 Top = 70 Width = 371 Height = 341 Margins.Left = 4 Margins.Top = 4 Margins.Right = 4 Margins.Bottom = 4 Caption = 'Panel1' TabOrder = 0 object Button1: TButton Left = 140 Top = 250 Width = 94 Height = 31 Margins.Left = 4 Margins.Top = 4 Margins.Right = 4 Margins.Bottom = 4 Caption = 'Button1' TabOrder = 0 OnClick = Button1Click end object Memo1: TMemo Left = 90 Top = 20 Width = 231 Height = 111 Margins.Left = 4 Margins.Top = 4 Margins.Right = 4 Margins.Bottom = 4 Lines.Strings = ( 'object btn5000: TButton' ' Left = 140' ' Top = 250' ' Width = 94' ' Height = 31' ' Margins.Left = 4' ' Margins.Top = 4' ' Margins.Right = 4' ' Margins.Bottom = 4' ' Caption = '#39'Hello'#39 ' TabOrder = 0' ' OnClick = Button1Click' 'end') TabOrder = 1 end end

1. Use meminifile.setstrings(default Strings to load program when external data not found) 2. The exe carries all the modes publish, editor, writer. The inifile and email of user loads the controls needs for that user. 3. The controls are bound when the program reads the "script". Bottom up or data driven loading. I used Expression parser by Egbert van Nes. 3 times easier than JS and CSS. Plus that pseudo business 4. The EventLeader waits for callbacks from remote API to update the UI. 5. Time Estimate TE 10 hrs. but building each form as exe and setting into app saves 1 hour per unit * 4. The eventLeader sheds its skin with a dot {.R *dfm} and classed as TwinControl was TForm. 1 hour plus 1 hr to write the script for each task's controls and interactions. Ability to adjust in the field without a recompile is worth a few hours. Scott Hanselman's blog might be a good source for info on running and setting web site.

Gamers and workers use various apps to keep windows up. Not sure of safety of something off the web.

Could you warp that big procedure with if busy exit; busy := True; ...busy := False to keep the timer updating the UI. About 6 weeks ago M$ adjusted the TThread to idle down to once per second...to save energy on blade servers. Not recalling the source of that statement.

Whynot? UItext := Format('%f.%f', [MN div 10, MN mod 10]); MN := round(anumber*10); when MN is Integer . _Trunc or _Floor may be available in your Script as well.

I simply select the custom control cut and repaste that should keep positions and events intact when "resetting" to see a small change after "tuning". For a single control I don't mess with the library rebuild. Would that work for you. OT on your plugin would a @plugin work?

Very good! Could the task dialog be readily parented to say a panel aligned to top of a form. A "ShowModal" call would show the panel, when panel is assigned as parent. Pat

class? function TVST3Controller.GetEditorClass:TForm;? begin result:=NIL; end; function TVST3Controller.CreateForm(aParent: TForm):TForm; //pass VAR FeditorForm:TclassedForm;// .. else result:=FeditorFormClass.CreateParented(aParent);//HWND(parent)); // HWND not in FMX FMX doesn't use windows handles AFAIK. It's useful to know that FMX does not have a TWinControl. Not liking that these are not class methods. Pat

I was able to refactor in 32 for first time in the twenties and then refactor the refactor in 64 🙂. While watching the runtime I selected the Class l.ookup and 232 warnings came up! I am running 11.1 on win 11 home.

Shift-Ctrl-F select current unit puts clickable lines in Messages view. Would that be a solution, Pat

Looks like a good start 🙂 Here's my stab at it. I viewed some JavaScript source and looked at the shader code in older Emba' blog article. What is your target and what video card... That is your business. Another approach is taking aircraft ground school classes about 5/8 weather plus the instructor can provide a flight to point what various clouds look like. This has Southern Oscillation Index SOI plus NOI drawn on the bitmap. Remember spherical triangle angles add to more than Euclidean triangle.

var Sform, RForm: TfrmView; procedure TfrmMain.btnPutMemoClick(Sender: TObject); begin TfrmView.ianShowMessage(SForm, Messages.Lines, Formclick); LogForm(Sender); end; procedure TfrmMain.btnPutListClick(Sender: TObject); begin TfrmView.ianShowMessage(RForm, listbox1.Items, LogForm); end; /// showmessage only procedure TfrmMain.Button2Click(Sender: TObject); begin TfrmView.ianShowMessage(RForm, listbox1.Items, nil); end; /// singleton procedure TfrmMain.Button4Click(Sender: TObject); begin TfrmView.ianShowMessageSI(Messages.Lines,button3click) end; I noticed that prefacing var for the form argument helps out. This code also shows a "callback" being passed, Adding a FMX style list box and a que should make nice media player. class procedure TfrmView.ianShowMessage(var auxForm: TfrmView; Strs: TStrings; CallBacK: TnotifyEvent); begin if not assigned(callBack) then begin ShowMessage(Strs.text + #13#10); exit; end; if not assigned(auxForm) then begin auxForm := TfrmView.Create(Application); // auxform.cursor := crCross; auxform.Button1.onClick := CallBack; end; with auxForm do begin Memo1.Lines.SetStrings(Strs); { Enhanced ShowMessage gives console operators a 'log view' case xxx: sms Ian please open old DB for xxx: note this report only covers today xxx: note that xxxx again xxx: Showmodal; } Show; end; end; var SMlogger: TfrmView; class procedure TfrmView.ianShowMessageSI(Strs: TStrings; CallBacK: TnotifyEvent); begin ianShowMessage(SMlogger, Strs, CallBacK); end;

On paper. draw a line Left to right on middle You cut your troubles in half. draw a line Top to bottom down the center you made a quadrant. draw circle holding pencil with smaller fingers put thumbnail at 0.0 and rotate paper with other hand. draw in the 45's 30's 60s. gets you one full sized circle. Rotate the paper on edge to "transform" it to side view. Notice how original circle flattens to be as thin as a shadow. You should be able to make your own procedures! Once you get the fundamentals down on paper. 🙂

consider Pi~22/7 Let the circumference of circle ~ 2 * 22/7 'Convert quarter turn to degree 0.25 round * 44/7 :: 0.25 round 360 degree/1 round = ' Cross out 0.25 round/1 * 360 degree/1 round = 90 degree 'Do same transformation on spin axis. 'Either use law of tangents 13th century spherical triangle work or the newer haversine 1835 to plot x,y I know only a few magic triangles (1,1,sqt(2) = gives 45) (1, sqt(3), 2 = 30,60) to give you a start. sqt(2) /2 ~ .707x .707y Draw out on paper each quadrant to determine signs.

That will center it. Darby has examples like this at his DelphiforFun site. you try Ansus Johnsons Image32 for newer methods. Image of FMX

Ok FMX has TControls where in VCL windows has TgraphicControls no windows handle and TWinControls. In short FMX controls don't work in VCL. To show palette on menu right click on menu and select components. To install a control into the VCL Palette be in 32 bit mode the IDE is 32 bit and needs any component to be 32 bit and to be made into a DCP so that control can used in the IDE. It's easy to stick the IDE if control is not well tested. You could load one control into the dslusr.bpl to get a feel for operation. Under component install existing and select dslusr.bpl. Save the projectgroup somewhere. Here's some code to try until you get that package loaded. procedure RotateBitmapRads(Bmp: TBitmap; Rads: Single; AdjustSize: Boolean; BkColor: TColor = clNone); var C: Single; S: Single; Tmp: TBitmap; OffsetX: Single; OffsetY: Single; Points: array[0..2] of TPoint; begin C := Cos(Rads); S := Sin(Rads); Tmp := TBitmap.Create; try Tmp.TransparentColor := Bmp.TransparentColor; Tmp.TransparentMode := Bmp.TransparentMode; Tmp.Transparent := Bmp.Transparent; Tmp.Canvas.Brush.Color := BkColor; if AdjustSize then begin Tmp.Width := Round(Bmp.Width * Abs(C) + Bmp.Height * Abs(S)); Tmp.Height := Round(Bmp.Width * Abs(S) + Bmp.Height * Abs(C)); OffsetX := (Tmp.Width - Bmp.Width * C + Bmp.Height * S) / 2; OffsetY := (Tmp.Height - Bmp.Width * S - Bmp.Height * C) / 2; end else begin Tmp.Width := Bmp.Width; Tmp.Height := Bmp.Height; OffsetX := (Bmp.Width - Bmp.Width * C + Bmp.Height * S) / 2; OffsetY := (Bmp.Height - Bmp.Width * S - Bmp.Height * C) / 2; end; Points[0].X := Round(OffsetX); Points[0].Y := Round(OffsetY); Points[1].X := Round(OffsetX + Bmp.Width * C); Points[1].Y := Round(OffsetY + Bmp.Width * S); Points[2].X := Round(OffsetX - Bmp.Height * S); Points[2].Y := Round(OffsetY + Bmp.Height * C); PlgBlt(Tmp.Canvas.Handle, Points, Bmp.Canvas.Handle, 0, 0, Bmp.Width, Bmp.Height, 0, 0, 0); Bmp.Assign(Tmp); finally Tmp.Free; end; end; procedure TForm20.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin RotateBitmapRads(image1.Picture.Bitmap,2/57,true, Self.Color); end;

Since FMX is multi-device platform Windows specific rotation schemes are not usable. You simply use the rotation angle in the object inspector. In samples there's some animation examples that should be helpful. procedure TForm19.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var btn : TButton; begin btn := Sender as TButton; with btn do RotationAngle := RotationAngle + 2; btn.Position.X := Width / 2 - btn.Width / 2; //workaround the rotationcenter business btn.Position.Y := Height / 2 - btn.Height / 2; end;

Important to know. as is the unit circle! But let's not use theta or alpha Greek for angle today. The first argument is x offset set it to Width div 2 Second argument is y offset set it to Height div 2 third and fourth arguments if the same draw a circle otherwise draws ellipse Canvas.Ellipse(100,100,50,75);

You can still use CPU view to get 'the iron' as the Late Danny Thorpe would say. This stuck my f7 and f8 Keying in CPU view stepping through Tee chart update without source. 000000000040C1E5 F3AA rep stosb :000000000040C1E5 @FillChar + $105 F9 rolls over it

Would insert inherited at line 255 be solution?

I never had good luck with Frames... With custom component development the issue is the IDE needs a restart after an "improvement" to the control. Or uninstall the control and reinstall once you have a project group set up. to rebuild the control. In the IDE control X and control V the control to reflect the improvements. For a complex control I simply use a form that keeps all the controls events assigned. By wrapping the form create with owner and parent and Event arguments the "Parent form" is not added to uses clause. rule 1 Do not use ShowModal that is the only danger I have found. constructor NewAux(const aName:string; bossForm: TForm; APanel: TWinControl; aEM: TEventBoss; Headings: Tstrings; aClick: TnotifyEvent; Settings: TWindowFormSettingSet); Example code.
