Why is it called experimental over a decade? What are you experimenting? Who will be the first to ask that? 🙂

(got it)

I'm not surprised then you don't even know who you agree with.

@David Schwartz Irony and sarcasm man, you missed every point.

Naaaah. I bought it for 500 bucks. In a year it became free. Naaaah. FMX was on the table and VCL is abandoned. Not anymore. Plenty of HDPI issues and EMBT won't spend money on fixing it because VCL is abandoned. Way behind! I'd say loading a form is like going to Canis Majoris. And also as big in size. Sadly they are not bother noticing you on updates nor do they keep old versions to download. Like any of them would cost a penny.... There is howerver https://www.almdev.com/prods/stylecontrols/stylecontrols.html maybe the last actively maintained VCL pack with some awesome components. Don't be afraid of the colorful sample images. They are by default just as grey as the built in components and it's cheap and has a Lifetime license. No upgrade fees. Anyway, I still don't understand the original question. What EMB components do you want to compare to what DevExpress components? It makes no sense. I think there were about 5 new VCL calendars released in the last 5 years and thats all.

Yes.

I had the same with an older IDE where the registry was suddenly corruped https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-40168 Otherwise use Process Monitor to try to identify the problem.

It's the RAD from RAD Studio. I remember at the CeBIT 99 or 2000, Borland presentation, ~click click ctrlA click click drag&drop and the form was filled with the dbcontrols.

var counter := 0; btw. with 10.1 U2 it runs fine too

Good luck with that on a giant legacy project where the DAC's with its fields and co. are living at the visual level an they are also used to it.

1. Crerate a list of the components on thedataset 2. Clone the datamodul with a filemanagaer (copy pas and dfm, rename unit name and datamodul class in the pas and at the top of the dfm) 3. now pick a group from the list and keep only them on the 2nd datamodul, delete the others 4. start refactoring the project 5. goto 2.

BDS Version 20 If you can't deal with this information, just don't comment on it.

sorry BDS 😄

As I said, up to BDE 20 the firt check is number/separator/number. If it doesn't match, Exit then raise.

11.x pfffff.... #forbes I can't see any month name parsing up to version 20.

They indeed are. "Das Wort wurde aus niederdeutsch gammeln → nds „alt werden“ übernommen und lässt sich auf ein germanisches Adjektiv mit der Bedeutung „alt“ zurückführen;"

That's why I'm using stardate.pas

As I have no clue about AI, I asked some -maybe- silly questions. Still not convinced by the answers.

I'm not sure how would it affect the "write a poem in norwegian" command

I still have a 3.4.0.79 from 2002 on my desktop PC

I did not buy anything but I'm almost sure that your extra colons are the problem.

records.... nevermind. spread your spagetticode in comicbooks

next issue: there are 1.5 million records in the salary table and the form takes 10 minutes to open btw. what the heck is sum(x)+0.00? i that a kind of ISNULL(sum(x),0) ? Also, x shoukd be ifnull checked too.

Did you know, if you write SQL in upper case, the server processes it faster!?
