Hi Team, I have D11 & now D12 installed on my Dev PC. All was going well until I installed Parnassus Bookmarks into D12. 😞 Seems the ParnassusCoreEditor.dll are not compatible. Broke my D11 Bookmarks. I now get an error when I start D11 and when I finish/exit D11. If I disable Parnassus Bookmarks off in D11, No more start/exit error dialogs. I would have thought this would have been fixed along the same lines as the ParnassusBookmarks_XXXX dlls. Sigh.. Ian

Ah Ha! Excellent tks Uwe. I now have a _XAlexandria and a _Yukon. Problem solved but it shouldn't have been necessary. Regards, Ian

Yes, the ParnassusBookmarks has an ending of Yukon. ParnassusBookmark_Yukon.dll. As does the Alexandria version ParnassusBookmark_Alexandria.dll. But the ParnassusCoreEditor.dll does not, as the Parnassus' .dlls are all in the same common folder, the D12 dll isn't liked by D11.

Is this possible/practical? Regards & TIA, Ian

Is this possible? Regards & TIA, Ian

Interesting. I just repeated the download/build process, I had done it twice before with the result as reported above, this time all is good. Download and build, no issues. The errors I were getting when exiting Delphi have also seem to have disappeared. Fingers crossed. 😉

Unless I'm missing something, isn't the filename going to be the one open/in view att? Thus IMO the filename is redundant. Just have the line # in the left column.

It is under the Grep Menu.

Hi Thomas, I have just had a play with this functionality. Agree with ULIK on the filename, although I am not sure how you would re-jig it. Possibly retaining the row divider, without the filename, but putting the line # in a column on the left. Like a two column String Grid?? Ian

Yup. Running that, then the Project build worked. Ian

Hi Team, Win 11, D11, 4k monitor. Delphi is started as /highdpi:unaware. I know this is something I am going to have to deal with more and more. :-( I have a form that during design time is 1462 wide, ClientWidth of 1449. When I Compile or Build it the form collapses on screen to ClientWidth 1132. :-( BorderStyle is bsDialog. Scaled is OFF. The Manifest has DPI Awareness set to None. The Apps are to run on old Win 7 PCs. I can stop it collapsing by setting a MinWidth Constraint for the form but I shouldn't need to. Or do I? What am I missing in my form setup please? Or it is what it is? Regards & TIA, Ian

And we are better off for it. Thank you.

I was/am asking gkobler..

Hi, Will you be doing one for D12?? Regards, Ian

Is there a way to export a thread/conversation. In a couple of cases there are conversations I would really like to sit back with a piece of paper, read & digest the content over a noce red wine rather than staring at a computer screen. 😉 Regards & TIA, Ian

It would seem Addictive Software, the makers of the Addict spell checker, are no more. 😞 What does one do now for spell checking in Apps that run on Win 7? Ian

Hi Team, Is it just me that can't log into the Quality Portal?? It keeps asking for my Username, even though it is there and is the same one I have used for years... Whuuuppp!!! Suddenly it works... Ian

Hi Uwe, D11.3, latest MMX. If I have this code in my type declaration: {code} .... procedure FormShow(Sender: TObject); procedure IndexOrdChange(Sender: TObject); private const iWidth = 920; end; implementation '''' {code} The function changes it to this: {code} .... procedure FormShow(Sender: TObject); procedure IndexOrdChange(Sender: TObject); private const <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< const iWidth = 920; end; implementation '''' {code} Which of course causes an error. If I have this: {code} .... procedure FormShow(Sender: TObject); {$IFDEF MyTest} procedure IndexOrdChange(Sender: TObject); {$ENDIF} private const iWidth = 920; end; implementation '''' {code} It removes the $IFDEF/$ENDIF block totally. Regards, Ian

Hi Team, My Customer has asked me if I can add SMS sending to his Apps. In support he has sent me a document from Vodafone, he is a repairer for Vodafone, with the following information. I know absolutely nothing about REST and/or its usage in/with Delphi. Could I prevail on someone to create a small delphi unit that incorporates whatever is necessary to send an sms? It would be very much appreciated. Regards & TIA, Ian

Any chance of providing the link? Or a copy of your working example? Regards & TIA, Ian

CRACKED IT!!!! As Patrick suggested, put the Json request into the Custom body. It didn't work for me the first time as I suspect I had the Json constructed wrong, and I still had Parameters in the RESTRequest. All sorted now. Now to actually create the App. 🙂 My thanks to all that contributed to my first foray into REST. Appreciated. Regards, Ian

This was the doc they supplied me. SMS Gateway API Specifications v2.0.pdf

Hi Patrick, You mean put this: "{"username": "email@mail.com", "secret":"password","shortcode":pacificbulksms","msisdn":"6798688008","message":"Hello James..."}" into the Custom body? With the correct values of course. 😉 I just tried that, same result. Ian
