Otherwise, really impressive. I like how the Imagelist captures the DPI change, the compressed storage, preview in imagelist-editor, plus the save button. The zooming tiger is so fast that I can't even believe that it's being rendered for every frame, is it some bitmap transformation? One thing I'm missing, linking the imagelists into a chain. Ergo, defining the svg's once, in a "main" imagelist and having multiple imagelists pointing to the "main" with different sizes. Great work

Lib does not work on a system with decimal separator different than point "."

And once you are done patching these into your search routines, one day you will face a component with its own TWriter and TReader which breaks all these regular rules and won't work, or in worst case, it will even screw up your concat logic and crash badly.

Theme XYZ... There is this IDE theme with the dark/blue etc. themes. Then there is this modernthemeXXX.bpl. And there are windows themes since 7 (I think). Am I right? Now,I killed the first two, then I came across this: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Rio/en/Disabling_Themes_in_the_IDE_and_in_Your_Application However, I can't see any difference if I remove the lines from this merge manifest. I'm also not sure how should this work. Why would windows look for this file? Btw. it's on W10, the article says 7/8. Does it apply for W10 too? Btw btw, it's still "CodeGear RAD Studio" in the manifest. Why? Would one need a new signature if it changes? Money? Edit: Ok, looks like from W10 things are changed, there is no more "classic" (stone age) theme anymore. I could also fix the dark "Standard" toolbar by resetting it to its defaults. It was just a bit strange that the latest IDE without any theming also differs a _LOT_ from Berlin.

You can still drop themeloader, themeXY, and of course moderntheme bpl too. Yes, it was also themed long before the "themes" (modernthemeXXX.bpl). But then you will face, how poor the new forms (like options) and some other parts are implemented. Un-/Wrong Aligned controls etc... And the "Standard" toolbar has a dark background, if I nuke modernthemeXXX.bpl and looking at the bare, winapi rendered IDE. And these things never will be fixed. But hey, on the other side, JAVA apps do not fall so slowly anymore.

you have duplicate entries in your dbxconnections.ini, possibly

TForm also has an Icon property. Just for the record. An assigned Icon could lead to the same symptoms.

This was bothering me forever. At the beginning, because of collecting possible sensible data and keeping it in the memory, later, because if I needed it, it wasn't ergonomic enough. So I have bound it to the ctrl-shift-[F1/F2] for showing the window, navigate up/down, and copy to clipboard on releasing the keys. It's just a couple of lines, (no OTA on this), if one of you likes it I can put the code here later.

I see, I'd check then "Row Versioning". I never used it yet but I'll try it myself when I find some time.

WITH (NOLOCK) ? evt. Row Versioning

@Uwe Raabe Hehe, I managed it too a couple of weeks ago. Don't ask me how, but that was a looooong loooong debug session until I found the problem 😉

ModalResult is an integer value, so you can assign whatever you want, the form will close and ModalResult will hold this value.

I can easily reproduce this putting a 2nd unit1.pas anywhere in the search path and/or library path _AND_ storing the applications unit1.pas somewhere else like the .dpr itself. The search order is given. (btw. IDE dies badly if you put a file into the uses lists with 0 bytes length :D) Edit: Maybe some dead entries in the .dproj? It's suspicious that you didn't create a new project because it's not called Project1, did you copy the old one?

just for curiosity what happens if you write in the uses list : uses .... Main.pas in 'src\frm\Main.pas'; if it helps then you have an other main.pas in your search path and you should be able to open it with ctrl-click on the unit name in the uses list.

@Bill Meyer Not really.. It was something like leaky-abstraction or similar can't recall.

@Dalija Prasnikar What what the blog post about the leaking strings again? I can't find it anymore.

I'd also check the host os's event viewer. It could be also a licensing issue.

sqlsrv32.dll is ODBC driver, sqlncli11.dll is native driver, there must be a setting in FD how to connect. Unidac hat at least 5 different methods.

Is there any built in/3rd party dockable form where the opened projects are listed and I could build/run/unattended run with a single click? Like Project1 [Build] [Run] [RunUA] Project2 [Build] [Run] [RunUA] etc...

@Sherlock It's not that hard but we do not want to rewrite the IDE from scratch, do we? 😄

@Ian Branch I have no idea, I would have to search for it.

It's a "known bug". Only the compiler supports the new inline syntax, the IDE still doesn't.

Well, let's do the math!

@Stefan Glienke People tend to forget about comfort feeling 😄 Joking aside, I've here a client/server thingy where I have to do things parallel and debug them, so yes, it's a temporary discomfort to scroll up and down in the projects window like a poisoned mouse to find the node which has this context menu. But I like your chart. It's just too practical. 😉

@dummzeuch ctrl-shift-f9 / run without debug
