I've installed the new MMX version 15.0.15.2380. When starting Delphi 10.4, this dialog appears: But the button cannot be clicked because all the dialog controls are disabled (hourglass cursor). So the start of Delphi 10.4 must be aborted:

I remember a very old version of MMX, where opening the MMX Properties dialog took an eternity. I cannot thank you enough for all the work done!

Found it by searching the whole Registry for "MMX". Thanks. Nice work! What is your next main planned feature in MMX?

Would you please be so kind as to name the v14 registry key? Thanks.

1. 2. 3. 4. There are at least 30 seconds between each step. But there is NO CodeInsight Code Completion in between. Shouldn't the Code Completion show the identifier "Now"? It seems that Error Insight in this case takes priority over Code Completion. But shouldn't it be vice versa? (-> Code Completion takes priority over Error Insight)

To be more precise: I waited at least 30 seconds before continuing to type the next letter

In Delphi 10.4, when trying to build \gexperts-code-r3177-trunk\Projects\StandAlone\PeInformation\GExpertsPeInformation.dpr I get this error: --------------------------- Fehler --------------------------- Datei C:\COMP\_Addons\GExperts\GExperts_Sourcecode\gexperts-code-r3177-trunk\Projects\StandAlone\PeInformation\EXEC kann nicht geöffnet werden. Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- (Translation: \EXEC cannot be opened. The file cannot be found.) Also, \gexperts-code-r3177-trunk\Projects\StandAlone\PeInformation\__Build_Project.cmd does not work, with this error: *** Error: Directory "=" does not exist. Variable DelphiPath in C:\COMP\_Addons\GExperts\GExperts_Sourcecode\gexperts-code-r3177-trunk\BuildTools\doGetDelphiPath.cmd ***

After IDE start, when opening the License Manager, each time an AccessViolation message is displayed: However, the 10.4 License is correctly listed: Has anybody else experienced this?

Does anybody know a Delphi IDE addon that is able to selectively HIDE single visual controls (e.g. TPanel, etc.) at design-time in the Form-Designer? That would be very convenient when working with multiple NESTED overlapping container controls. The IDE itself does not seem to have this feature.

For me, this is not a drawback. It perfectly fits my purpose. If you want, you could add a command "Show all hidden controls", because one might forget the different controls he has hidden.

Well, I am sure the people at Embarcadero are able to do a bit more than Copy&Paste ...

Embarcadero should include this in the Delphi IDE! My colleague has posted this quality report: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-28217 Please vote for it!

EXCELLENT piece of code! Thank you!

The functionality to hide a subset of components in the Form-Designer is already existing: Show Non-Visual Components in the Edit menu. Could that functionality be used by an add-on to selectively hide a single control component (and its sub-controls)?

It is not a question of accessing the hidden visual components. Of course, they can be accessed and selected in the Structure Panel (and thus shown and their properties edited in the Object Inspector), but their container content visually edited. Imagine you have a TPanel (Panel1) hidden behind another panel (Panel2) and want to insert and visually edit some other controls inside this hidden Panel1. In such a case it would be convenient temporarily hiding the Panel2 in the Form-Designer. However, the question was about an addon having such a feature. Thank you for your observations.

This project shows how to convert an SVG XML source text to a freely scalable SVG image (Scalable Vector Graphics): It uses the SVGMagic library which is available here: https://svgmagic.io TextToSvg2.zip I am NOT affiliated with SVGMagic. Have fun and DON'T BE SCARED!

In Delphi 10.3 Rio I missed the Structure Panel Search: So I was happy to read at Andy's Blog and Tools web page: DDevExtensions and DFMCheck released for Delphi 10.3 Rio [...] Fixed: Structure-View search dropdown had a max height of 2 items And after installing DDevExtensions in Rio I now have Structure Panel Search: Thank you, Andreas Hausladen! Additionally, I have a suggestion for the Structure Panel Search: Often I had the need to filter out all components/controls of a specific type in the Structure Panel: So, when explicitly writing a type name (e.g. *TLabel*) in the filter field, the Structure Panel should show all TLabel controls. This would be very useful! What do you think?

The above URL does not work anymore. Here is the current working URL: https://www.idefixpack.de/blog/2018/12/ddevextensions-and-dfmcheck-released-for-delphi-10-3-rio/

Why don't you tell this to the makers of the SVGMagic website? They will certainly be grateful for intelligent advice increasing their sales. I think this is the wrong place for criticism on third party websites.

That may be your personal opinion (which in this case is also a widely spread misconception). The reason for the Linux kernel being an exception is that it's easy to outstrip Microsoft in this field.

The SVGMagic library has many more features than displaying an SVG image. Are you from CNN? Please don't spread false information.

I think the importance of SVG for UI is underestimated. Using only pixel images for UI controls is the wrong way.

Did you test the project at all? Can you tell me your opinion about the project source? Good luck. and: DON'T BE SCARED!
