in this case you need a wrapper unit with either making a gateway or extending the API with helpers

bullshit

I would not bother with the constructor just add a method for setup and show: procedure TTracksAddEditForm.ShowForm(const AsMode: string; AiAlbum: integer; const AsTrack: string); begin FsMode := AsMode; FiAlbum := AiAlbum; // or set the controls directly FsTrack := AsTrack; Show; end; use it: TTracksAddEditForm.Create(Self).ShowForm('Insert', blah, buh); or for showmodal function TSomeValueReturningForm.ShowForm(var AVar: string): TModalResult; begin FVar := AVar; Result := ShowModal; AVar := FVar; end; use it: lStringVar := 'Initialvalue'; case TSomeValueReturningForm.Create(Self).ShowForm(lStringVar) of mrOk: DoSomething(lStringVar); else Whatever... end; the variable var TracksAddEditForm : TTracksAddEditForm; is only needed if the forms are created with Application.CreateForm() by the dpr itself. Otherwise it should be deleted immediately.

reintroduce is missing

are you really using "Show" ?

this is a joker error message from the IDE, it can be anything, path, old binaries in the path, missing dependencies, etc... fire up a process monitor and filter for bds.exe maybe you have luck and you can see it

can synpdf 1A?

Those bitmaps are set up diffeently, like pf32bit / pf24bit who knows what else? Could you check them with the same setup?

@aehimself I don't get it. I just created a new VCL Form Application plus designed two new frames, then added frame2 to frame1, without creating a custom component. What is the concept behind creating a compound component from a frame? You can also add code to the base frame and override it in the other places. I don't know any Bar Managers except Gunther, but to make a component fill up a given space is normally done with alignment.

just being the smart*ss, why are you mixing composite components with frames? can't you just put a frame onto an another frame?

you could still put some explicit logging into your application to see where this 14 seconds delay is coming from instead of guessing

you could start here https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Components_and_Ownership

I'm not sure if I can talk the english you understand. I'm telling the same. Except, there is no encryption software, it's hardware encrypted. The software only mounts the flash drive's 2nd partition with the entered password's hash. see https://www.verbatim.com/prod/usb-drives/professional-usb-drives/store-n-go-secure-pro/

No, it has nothing on it, they are out of the box, the same as you are describing. Two partitions, one CD, one hardware encrypted. They exists very well nowadays too.

Strange, all encrypted flash drives are autostarting its mounting application, they must be distributing themselves as CD-ROM.

Your button texts are colorful, that means you have visual styles turned off, but it's needed to show texthint

then why are you writing hint in the topic if you are such an eagle eye? otherwise no clue. debug the VCL

it works the opposite way, it's only shown if the edit is not focused

texthint is not hint, hint is empty and edit is focused so you can't see anything

why not? you could name it "The option I didn't want to implement #4223"

Swap the orders, first "b)" then "1." That you can: I. Be sure you can fix something, so it's definitely broken. II. You can make a fix proposal (They will most probably fix it in an other way but it helps them to understand a problem and it's also represents the "expected" result. Such reports are processed faster.

The size does not matter. (tm) (dependencies do)

@Vandrovnik How get you run that "unit" without touching it?

Unit1.pas.20: begin 0041A868 55 push ebp 0041A869 8BEC mov ebp,esp 0041A86B 6A00 push $00 0041A86D 6A00 push $00 0041A86F 6A00 push $00 0041A871 53 push ebx 0041A872 8B5D08 mov ebx,[ebp+$08] 0041A875 8B5B0C mov ebx,[ebx+$0c] ebx is very well initialized

It's a really cool topic, especially the conversation between DH and KW :DDDD
