Looking at logging to a text file. Saw this article in Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41301921/how-to-log-in-dunitx?rq=1 It has a reference to TDUnitXTextFileLogger This seems to be incomplete. In the installed version of DUNITX that comes with Delphi, the constructor is blank and the FFilename field is commented out. Looking at the latest in git the constructor is: constructor TDUnitXTextFileLogger.Create(const AFileName : string; const overwrite : boolean); begin raise ENotImplemented.Create('Not Implemented'); end; How is text logging done? I want to produce reports for users showing what tests have been done in a readable form. Dave Craggs

Is there an official documented way to replace the bundled version with the repo? Thanks Dave

I could probably do something myself, but just wondering if I am missing something.

Thanks Uwe... Hope it's not just me!

Are you going to add this for 10.4?

Strange. I went on to the site on another machine (with AVG) and version 12 is a beta. I am registered for v11 but I can't install that on D10.3. Dilemma! Dave

Hi, Anyone here use TSplitView? Having a problem with inheritence. If you inherit from a form with a SplitView, the ButtonCategory items from the inherited form disappear. This is in Delphi 10.3 update 3. I do have an example here: https://github.com/dcraggs/Splitview-Inheritence Dave Craggs

I'll see how it goes with the workaround above. Dave

Have had a play. This bit here isn't redundant: inherited SV: TSplitView Height = 361 ExplicitHeight = 361 inherited catMenuItems: TCategoryButtons It is a reference to the components in the parent form. If I delete the whole section in the dfm and show form it all looks good. As soon as I run it the buttons disappear. What has worked is if I delete the section and add a button to the category buttons list thereby making a change in the DFM to that section, they all stay. Could be a workaround. Dave Craggs

Thanks for that. I'll check it out. I have used inheritance for YEARS with no problems, so it's worrying this is happening with newer components. Dave Craggs

If it helps, here are images of the original and the inherited forms. Dave Craggs

Doesn't seem to be much Delphi work in the UK. about 3 job on LinkedIn being chased by dozens of recruiters. Looking for additional work myself, but not much luck.

Yes - I have done a lot of C#, but self taught, so bit of a harder sell.

An option, but I have lesser expertise in other languages.

Thanks - got it working. Key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\20.0\Experts Add string key ModelMakerExpert Value C:\Program Files (x86)\ModelMakerTools\ModelMaker\11\bin\MM_BDS20_Expt.dll Dave

Where do you copy the DLL?

Ooh -fantastic stuff.
