    Nobel prize for figuring out

    Did you try to relocate the computer in the room?

    Nobel prize for figuring out

    We still don't know what "works" means and why is there nothing to debug?

    It's FSK 12, I could suggest to consult a doctor if you are disturbed by those words.

    I'm already very careful, but it doesn't make any sense. This just came to my mind:

    Of course, it has, it only worked when you copied the dproj from the backup. Maybe the search path. But why don't you debug in the first place? That doesn't require any "Nobel Prize."

    Is it worth resubscribing now?

    @MichaelT Thank you very much! I see. So I shouldn't be concerned about the quality of version 11, since version 12 is just around the corner? Or 11.4 first? We did not have luck with even version numbers yet. Looks like the only question is whether this LSP is working or not. When you say it works 'time to time,' do you need to restart the IDE or a service, or do you have no impact on it? Or does it just fail in specific places or units? Like the old one?

    I know it! All the SQL queries go there. Nobody else needs this.

    How to change the tmainmenu Designer ?

    I've implemented a routine in a wizard that captures the editor ('TMenuBuilder') using Screen.OnActiveFormChange and automatically calculates the menu size from TMenuWin.FNCHeight TMenuWin.FMenuHeight and TMenuItemWin.FCaptionExtent. That task would be suitable for GExperts if there isn't anything related to this matter yet. @dummzeuch ?

    I'm confident that the team is doing an excellent job.

    GDI Objects limitation

    1x TButton 5 GDI 100x TButton 5 GDI Someone should be included in this debugging.

    And here we go, that's what I was referring to: every piece of trash you find.

    of course we can, where is the problem?

    String literals more then 255 chars

    I don't think the intention of these blocks is to put every piece of trash you can find into them. I'm laughing my pants off at your suggestion to support multiple encodings and line endings in one text file. It's already pretty strange, and I'm sure it would have never happened if C# didn't implement it first. I'm still skeptical that they didn't do it on April 1st.

    GDI Objects limitation

    It's a bug for sure, either in the component or in your code. Start debugging and don't panic 🙂 First step is, turn on the GDI Objects column in the task manager and start watching it meanwhile you navigate through your app. If you are creating/freeing the forms/frames on the fly as you state, the number should drop back on closing a form, etc... you know it for sure

    ANN: StyleControls VCL v. 5.52 just released!

    It's a huge misconception that with these components, you can only create fancy forms. These components work perfectly fine without any styling, offering a lot of added value with great support and being completely affordable. etc...

    My apologies. Another question. Would this throw an error in the dreams of a rainbw unicorn? blub := ''' line1 line2, indented 3 spaces line3 ''';

    Will this throw an error then? blub := ''' line1 line2, indented 3 spaces line3 ''';

    Speaking of code formatter, we need a flag in the built-in formatter to be able to exclude parts of the code formatting.

    Double checked locking

    I came across this ineresting post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27368556/trtticontext-multi-thread-issue after getting an error report over an AV in System.Rtti.MakeClosure and I'm wondering, according to the answers from @Stefan Glienke and @David Heffernan if the "data := nil;" in System.Rtti.LazyLoadAttributes,MakeClosure should not be the first after the second check?

    Double checked locking

    I checked it and it's still the same, I should have mention it tough. Ouch. Now that you say, nice one. So basically, my approach to create/try-finally/free the TRtttiContext, which is advocated by some, is also wrong because of the faulty library, and I should instantiate one somewhere at the beginning?

    What is the benefit of sorting the Uses clause?

    Make te uses list great again!
  24. It's the Dopplebeau effect. Normal. Don't even bother with it.

    Direct vs. Indirect access of service by a Client?

    You asked for thoughts, pros, and cons. Then, you became anxious when I provided you with a point of view and introduced your implementation details (traffic) into the equation, which changed the entire question. But hey, we're used to it 😉 Do you still have any concerns?
