ah, FMX

Using Windows? You can take a look to it's "Credentialmanager". The Credential data is read/writeable (easy with Delphi) when logged in the machine and encrypted when outside the OS.

Some databases support JSON tables where you can insert JSON strings and query them with normal SQL and is VERY fast. Google for example "MSSQL database JSON" >>Additionally, how can I extract only the needed data from a large JSON response without parsing the entire object? You can exactly do this with the database, because you have to create a kind of mapping to use the SQL and you can map only the fields that you need..

Don't set Form2 and Form3 autocreated but create them yourself. You can use the "Owner" of the forms to get the name. In Form 1 you do: uses Unit2; procedure TForm1.BitBtn1Click(Sender: TObject); var Form2: TForm2; begin Form2 := TForm2.Create(Self); Form2.Show; end; In Form2 you do: uses Unit3; procedure TForm2.BitBtn1Click(Sender: TObject); var Form3: TForm3; begin Form3 := TForm3.Create(Self); Form3.ShowModal; end; In form 3 you can do: (try to find a way to do this recursively..) procedure TForm3.BitBtn1Click(Sender: TObject); var FormName: string; begin if Assigned(Owner) and (Owner is TForm) then Begin FormName := TForm(Owner).Name; if Assigned(TForm(Owner).Owner) and (TForm(Owner).Owner is TForm) then Begin FormName := TForm(Owner).Owner.Name; End else FormName := 'No Owner'; End else FormName := 'No Owner'; ShowMessage('The form is: ' + FormName); end;

I don't understand. Sendmessages? The *.dfm and *.pas form files are compiled into the *.dcu and in you executable.

If the issue is that these comboboxes should always contain these values in your forms I would try to create a simple *.dfm text reader and add the "items" property and the values to the comboboxes. object InputNum_1: TComboBox Left = 8 Top = 16 Width = 217 Height = 23 TabOrder = 0 end end object InputNum_1: TComboBox Items.Strings = ( 'None' '1' '2' '3' '4' '5' '6' '7' '8' '9' '10') Left = 8 Top = 16 Width = 217 Height = 23 TabOrder = 0

TIOBE and skip the scripting languages and other non desktop application development software.

In my experience, outdated hardware can cause databases or executables to run slowly, regardless of how well the software is programmed or optimized. No matter how much you try to increase speed through software changes, upgrading the hardware can significantly enhance performance.

If you look to real desktop applications programming Delphi is now on 2th-3th place 😉 Interesting to see that PHP went so low so quick..

The best model for programmers is at the moment o1, o1-mini or o3-mini from OpenAI.

Is there any way to train an AI model with Remy's brain?

Maybe more..

I think a language where you can close a modal form without-modalresult being set to mrcancel..

Isn't the headerfile for C#?

I would appreciate it if the Indy discussions, along with other third-party components, could remain here on this forum. Since installing these components, I’ve primarily been using them, but I still enjoy following the discussions. If these conversations shift to other platforms like GitHub, I propably would not bookmark them all and visit them.
