    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.

    Print the complete window : a quick one (hopefully :)

    Well indeed, it does the trick (I've just have to implement the ratio / make it fit)... Using this : https://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/en/showcode.php?id=744 Many thanks NB : very fast and accurate answer by the way :)

    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

    About TGUID type...

    mderie replied to mderie's topic in RTL and Delphi Object Pascal

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

    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.

    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 !
  9. mderie
    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 ! Regards

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