Well indeed, it does the trick (I've just have to implement the ratio / make it fit)...

Many thanks

NB : very fast and accurate answer by the way :)

Hi,

I'm trying to perform something which should be basic : I want to print a given form content.

But wait, with the border and title. So not only the ClientArea... So "self.print" is not enough !

I'm trying to play with the PrintWindow API but no luck till now. Any clue  ? Thanks in advance

Regards.

It is annoying since the compiler do the type conversion in the declaration and not in the assignement !

Hi folks,

I've discover this a bit by misluck :

  function GenerateAppGUID: TGuid;
  const
    guid : TGUID = '{481E85E5-3874-4FCB-BEA1-B65D640AE6D3}';
  begin
    result := guid; // Compile fine !
  end;

  function GenerateAppGUID: TGuid;
  begin
     Result := '{481E85E5-3874-4FCB-BEA1-B65D640AE6D3}'; // E2010 Incompatible types: 'TGUID' and 'string'
  end;

I find this quite annoying...

Regards

Scary...

Well it could reduce the differences between Embarcadero / Delphi and Lazarus / FPC

having a more clear distinction between what is system, OS related, GUI related ...

Come on, compare it with what exists in C++ or C# (I don't know Java enough)

Ask yourself what could be a namespace !

Embarcadero should introduce namespaces !

Hi,

<NOSTALGIA_ON>

I'm glad to rediscover a Delphi programmer community !

Back in time I was pleased to find answers through TeamB among other nice people

And finding good components on Torry's Delphi pages

</NOSTALGIA_ON>

Now I've quickly test C++ in respect of type redeclarations and global variable redefinitions...

Well let say that my heart beats for the later one... Delphi just takes too many shortcuts !

Indeed, but it is a shame that the compiler don't emit a warning

Hi,

I was disturbed to say the least that one can declare a global variable the same name as an existing one in another (system) unit.

IE : I encounter the case today, some funny guy declared a global like this one.

FormatSettings : TFormatSettings;

Althought the exact same line exists in SysUtils... I let you imagine what happened when debugging !

Since some units does include this funny one and the SysUtils one...

Any idea ? And yes I know that globals are evil :)

Regards.
