You may try the TNumberBox, available in the newer versions of Delphi. https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Using_VCL_TNumberBox_Control

Have you considered creating LXC containers, instead of VMs? Should be less resource-hungry, easier to setup...and only slightly less secure (if set as not priviliged, which is the default).
-
How about testing .Visible in OnActivate? Or starting a timer in OnShow and execute your code few ms later, when the form is already visible.

Store a large number of images in the filesystem or in a DB?
Zoran Bonuš replied to RaelB's topic in Databases
If you already use database of other data, I would go with the images in DB. Another form.of storage means also another thing to take care of backups, accessibility, security, etc. -
Or you can use other 3rd party db components (commercial like unidac) with Delphi Pro.
-
Just for a reference, a recent blog post on the topic and a shared library by @Darian Miller https://www.ideasawakened.com/post/use-createprocess-and-capture-the-output-in-windows

For a similar task I use this solution (the updated version), works fine by me: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9119999/getting-output-from-a-shell-dos-app-into-a-delphi-app
-
Right, but you can convert boolean to integer (1/0) and then SUM works like COUNTIF. Conversion can be implicit or explicit, or using case/iif constructs... whatever MariaDB supports.

Send message frmo VCL app to another machine in lan
Zoran Bonuš replied to mikak's topic in General Help
If you already use a DB that supports events/notifications (Firebird, Interbase, Oracle, MSSQL...?), a FDEventAlerter (or similar) may be sufficent to notify clients (instead of polling). https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Database_Alerts_(FireDAC) -
Interbase 2020 update 3 - high firedac network traffic
Zoran Bonuš replied to Anto90's topic in Databases
Not exactly addressing the issue, but do you use firedac connection pooling? https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Multithreading_(FireDAC) May help or circumvalent your problem Also try to use read-only transactions and "read committed" isolation mode whenever possible. Also check the ibclient dll version. -
For similar reasons, I use an ordinary form with a TfrxPreview component on it. https://www.fast-report.com/documentation/ProgMan/index.html?creating_a_custom_preview_window.htm
-
Or you may try TButtonGroup https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Sydney/en/Vcl.ButtonGroup.TButtonGroup

Should be fixed in 11.2 (I haven't tested yet) https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-37631

RAD Studio 10.4 Community Edition - missing Delphi.Personality
Zoran Bonuš replied to TCH's topic in General Help
I have encountered the "missing personality" from time to time too. A quick fix that works for me is: In the IDE, open Tools - Manage platforms and hit Apply (without changing anything) Close/open the IDE a then the project opens fine. Hope it helps ...
