    Youtube comments - how are you retreaving them

    So, is your parsing "slow" or the fetching the API data from Youtube? How did you do the parsing? By running through the Memo of your screenshot?

    Youtube comments - how are you retreaving them

    Use the Youtube API. uses System.Net.HttpClient, System.JSON; procedure GetYouTubeComments(const VideoID, APIKey: string); var Client: TNetHTTPClient; Response: string; JSON: TJSONObject; begin Client := TNetHTTPClient.Create(nil); try Response := Client.Get( Format('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads?part=snippet&videoId=%s&key=%s', [VideoID, APIKey]) ).ContentAsString; JSON := TJSONObject.ParseJSONValue(Response) as TJSONObject; // Parse JSON to extract comments finally Client.Free; end; end;

    addng a field to an existing file

    Try after the add BudSys_DB.FieldDefs[4].CreateField(BudSys_DB); or Private: AmountField : TFloatField; Implementation: AmountField := TFloatField.Create(BudSys_DB); AmountField .FieldName := 'Amount'; AmountField .Calculated := True; AmountField .DataSet := BudSys_DB; AmountField .Name := BudSys_DB.Name + AmountField .FieldName; BudSys_DB.FieldDefs.Add('Amount',ftFloat, 0); Destroy: AmountField.Free;

    Experiences with D2Bridge Framework

    Many VCL applications have been developed over the years with direct database access, which has become increasingly problematic in modern software environments. As a result, developers often feel forced to transition to web-based solutions, such as sending JSON over the internet to abstract away direct database access (e.g., for login functionality). However, this shift presents significant challenges. One major hurdle is the need to create endpoints for the countless SQL queries accumulated over time, while also transforming the rich and responsive VCL GUI into web pages. Although modern frameworks offer solutions for this transition, the process of converting database-driven VCL applications remains highly resource-intensive. These frameworks are particularly effective when building applications from scratch. But for developers who prefer to maintain their existing VCL applications and avoid going fully web-based, the question arises: is there a way to address the database access issue without a complete overhaul? Could a solution exist at the database driver level—a kind of bridge between the database server and the client driver (e.g., FireDAC)—that eliminates the need to convert data into formats like JSON and then back into VCL controls or custom DataObjects?

    Stringgrid cell value changed arbitrarely

    Very difficult to understand your question.. You talk about a stringgrid but in the code you posted the grid isn't mentioned. You talk about a value? What value? All the valueS (more values) in the rows of the grid?
  7. Maybe in combination with: bds.exe /ProductInfo:Trial - returns True/False if the product is a Trial version.
  8. Enterprise returns Enterprise.. So "Personal" seems the Community Edition.
  9. What does the professional edition say in the "Detail" properties of the bds.exe? Also “Personal”? (or Professional)
  10. What error do you get when you compile something with dcc32.exe from the Community Edition. Can't you catch this error and make you decision based on that?
  11. There is this small component I use for ages (CEVersionInfo) that takes the version info from the Delphi IDE. (Menu-Projects-Project Options-Version Info) In the IDE I put the Delphi version name into the "Comments" field and in the program source you can use it just like: "myEdit.Text:=CEVersionInfo.Comments" I've searched the web for the component but only saw some sites where I didn't dare to click to.. I'm willing to publish the source because there is no copyright involved and it is quite small code. It can take the following info fields: FCompanyname :='<info not available>'; FFileDescription :='<info not available>'; FFileVersion :='<info not available>'; FInternalname :='<info not available>'; FLegalCopyright :='<info not available>'; FLegalTradeMarks :='<info not available>'; FOriginalFilename :='<info not available>'; FProductName :='<info not available>'; FProductVersion :='<info not available>'; FComments :='<info not available>'; FMajorVersion :='<info not available>'; FMinorVersion :='<info not available>'; FRelease :='<info not available>'; FBuild :='<info not available>';
  12. Last week I also needed such timeline component and I started with the basic Jedi Timeline component. It is a basic component but with a bit of programming and the use of an extra StringGrid for the right side, a ScrollBox (horizontal scroll) and extra Scrollbar (vertical scroll) I got all the functionality I needed. It has an imagelist property to display images in the timeline. delphi-jedi.org TJvTimeLine

    Alternative for RDP solution

    Could you clarify what you mean by "cheapest way" and can you tell more about the cost and your environment? Their website doesn’t provide any information about pricing, which I believe could negatively impact their sales. Potential customers are discouraged when they have to contact a company just to get basic cost information. It would be helpful if they included some example use cases along with the associated costs. For example, if I already have a cloud-based database solution (e.g., MSSQL/Azure File storage/Office365) with 30 users and several Delphi applications, what would be the estimated cost of implementing a VirtualUI solution?
  14. I'm looking forward to the full story of this project. Are you going the Delphi route (webserver, webcore, UniGui, etc..) or (Java)script API - end-points - back-end HTML CSS front-end route? Bravo ! 😎🏅🏆

    IDE bugs

    What version of Delphi do you use? Go to the taskmanager and look to the Delphi IDE, keep refreshing the taskmanager and see if the memory of the Delphi IDE goes up all the time eating your entire memory.
