It does say this in the blog. Am using Delphi 11.3 High DPI support. I'm not going go into to detail on this, it's a complex issue with major differences between windows versions, and limited High DPI support in Delphi. I will say, think very carefully before you enable this, High DPI support in Delphi depends very much on the version of delphi, and third party control support. Don't just enable High DPI support without serious testing. See the msdn doco link at the bottom of this post.

yes and Windows 11 probably. This is just the first quick fix until I am back next week. Thanks

Thanks, I am using this as a start point

Hmm - do I need to extract the XML from the res file so Finalbuilder can use it? Need to sort this out next week - am away for the rest of the week. Thanks for the help so far.

I did look at that, need to work out what values should be put into the manifest. Really don't know why I should need one 😞

Bit confused about manifest. Delphi suggests it shod auto generate, but I can't find any.

It works when built using the dev system, but not with finalbuilder. Reverts to old style open dialogs too.

@Vincent ParrettHave you any thoughts on this?

HI All, I have some frames I have created. I moved them to another folder, but am now getting errors when loading forms using the frames. I updated the paths in the project file, but that did not fix the problem. Any ideas?

All fixed now.

Interersting, if I open just the project it works. If I open the grouproject it is a part of it doesn't. Have changed the references in all the other projects. Ah - found some references in .dproj files

This should be a basic question, but I am trying to draw the colour of a cell in a stringrid grdDetails.Canvas.Font.Style := [fsBold]; grdDetails.Canvas.Brush.Color := clSilver; grdDetails.Canvas.TextRect(Rect, Rect.Left, Rect.Top+4, 'Test Header'); But I am getting this Note the cell is not fully coloured. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks Attila you are correct!

Hi, MMX has these options Would be nice if there was an option Copy fullname and unit. Keep up the good work. Dave Craggs

Hi, I am currently using FastReports VCL 5 that comes with Delphi 10.3. Anyone know how much better the paid for version is? Thanks Dave Craggs

Thanks. Do you use FastReports?

Hi, Howe do I read the text part of a CDATA not in an XML file? am using TXMLDocument then finding a node, (IXMLNode), but both node.,text and node,textvalue return the full CDATA string. Am using Delphi 10.3. Am doing a work around to remove the CDATA stuff, but I would have though there should be a simple way of getting this text. Dave Craggs

Hi I have a VCL application. Some of the forms stay visible when switching between windows desktops. The main form doesn't. Couldn't see an obvious property causing ths. Any ideas?

I'll have a go next week. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. These are the windows 10 virtual desktops. Border style is bsSizable Attribute WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW is not present in my code.

Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True; Delphi 10.3 at the moment

If you have a panel with items inside all aligned left. How do you maintain the order when you change visibility? The items start in the correct order, but it you hide one and then later make it visible, it can end up in the wrong position.

OK got it. Hide all the controls and set align to alNone. then go though in the order that you want setting them to visible and align to alLeft.

Hmm - could I do something with the Left property maybe?
