My experience today is that if the Library installs or updates by building its .bpl, .dcp & .dcu files than they need to be rebuilt with D12.2 p1. This I suspect is due to the binary incompatability that occurred with D12.2. Now rectified.

It is also a breaking change for all those 3rd Party libraries that you get their source code for and install by building their files. I have spent a couple of hours rebuilding libraries I had the source for that needed to be re-installed as, presumably, their existing .bpl/.dcp/.dcu files were no longer compatible. Also the existing installed plug-ins - GExperts, Eurekalog, MMX & cnWizards won't load. I rebuilt GExperts and is OK but I will have to wait for the other 3.

Broke the current MMX & cnWizards. 😞

FWIW I can recommend the landrix suite, it is based on anders' suite.

In which version of Delphi were the uses unit's qualifiers like Vcl. & System. introduced?

Sigh!

Perish the thought. 🙂 Excellent. Tks.

Tks Dave. I didn't realise it was that 'long' ago. ;-) Cheers.

Hi Team, D12.2. Aside from DDevExtensions, is there any mechanism id Delphi not to not save Explicit Properties? Are there any other plug-ins that have this functionality? Regards & TIA, Ian

Tks Remy. I suspect the answer is there. I have forwarded the reference to the Developer.

Hi David, It may well be. That would again point to improper handling of the default value in the component. I will await a response from the Developer.

Yes, that was my conclusion also. That is why I am giving the Developer a chance. 🙂 Having said that, it does work for the other 4 available options, just not the default/specific one.

Hi Remy, Not at this time. I want to give the developer more time to ensure it isn't a deficiency in his component. I was just wanting to be sure it wasn't some setting, mine or a 3rd Party plug in, that was causing the issue. FWIW, even if I add the property into the dfm file, and return to the form, returning to the dfm source shows the property gone. It is only one property of the component that has options. If I select any of the other options the property is in the dfm. If I seect the default property, it disappears. Ian

Tks. I am not using it. I am actually trying to find somewhere the Saving Explicit Properties may be turned off as I am having trouble with a component not retaining a default property setting.

Hi David. Tks. Confirmed I have that one turned off/not checked.

Hi Team, Win 11, D12.2, Getit StyledComponents. I had the idea to incorporate some of the StyledComponents animated components in an App for a Customer. As a test I built the StyledComponents StyledTaskDlgDemo. For animations it uses Skia. It worked fine on my PC. I loaded it to the Customer's Win 2012 R2 Serrver PC via RDP and ran it. It just sat there unresponsive. I couldn't do anything with it. It didn't show in Task Manager. I eventually had to restart their server. Fortunately it was Sunday and not in use. Aside from the App, is there anything else that needs to be present? Or was it simply an issue with the Server/RDP? Regards & TIA, Ian

Hi Team, Is there a way to align the button captions in a TButtonGroup to the center of the button? Regards & TIA, Ian

Tks Peter. I shall investigate.

Cheers & Tks.

Hi Team, D12.2. My GetIt Package Manager seems to have 'forgotten' that I have the Bonus KSVC 7.0 installed. It is definately installed and in use. It was one of the first installed via Getit when D12.2 was installed. When I open the Package Manager it suggests that it isn't installed. If I now try to 'Install' it I get: Anybody else experienced something like this? How do I resolve it please? Regards & TIA, Ian

Hi Uwe, I am the only User of his PC and those parameters don't change as far as I am aware. Ian

Cheers.

Will the Delphi GetIt version be updated? Currently at 1.7.7.

Hi Team, I do not recall where, when or how I came by the original of this Unit. If the origintor wants to speak up, I am happy to make the appropriate attribution and offer my thanks. I have made some enhancemants to the original. MultiInputDlg.rar I offer it as something to give back to the community, to learn some techniques from, and as a useful Dialog. Feel free to use/enhance as you wish. As usual, all care & no responsibility. 😉 Note: This was enhanced by me for use under D12+. I don't really know how far back in Delphi versions it will work. I make no apologies for any poor coding or coding style. Regards, Ian

Hi Thomas, No doubt, but that wasn't something I ever got in to. Yes it would be cleaner. Feel free. 😉 Ian
