Hi David, Thanks for your input to the discussion. When I build a project group my CPU2 goes to around 80%-90%, the rest around 10-25%. Ian

Tks Darian, I use NVME drives and I have 32GB RAM. I note, according to the Win 11 Task Manager, that Delphi uses about 10-12% of the CPU when loading and then 0% idling. When I do a build it jumps back up, peaking at around 21%. Strangely, the Task Manager suggests this is 'Very High' Power usage. Huh? Ian

That works too.

I would like to second this and suggest perhaps the option to make whatever is in the groups field persistent. I use the same groups all the time sometimes I pull up an older project that hasn't been 'grouped' so I keep a copy of my MMX groups in a text editor that is persistent between uses. Perhaps add a check box 'Make Groups persistent' so Users can make what they have in there persistent between projects, or not.

Yes I am. I shall see what happens.

Hi Anders - That's a good trick to know/use. The Form isn't actually changing size now when I click build or compile. But, When I open/close it in the designer I am still invited to save it. I checked the before and after .dfm files and there is no difference.

Hi Anders - Yes.

Anders, No that setting is off. Kryvich, If it was a Windows thing wouldn't the issue appear on all form? All - To stop it I set the forms constraints. That worked. I have just now removed the Constraints and the form doesn't collapse on Compile/Build any more. Wierd..

Just to further clarify, it changes visibly on the screen when I click Build or Compile. :-(

Hi Team, D11. I saw the RSS about KSVC and checked my Getit. I already had KSVC 7.0 installed and it was showing as Update in Getit. I deinstalled my exiting KSVC via Getit and now there is no sign of KSVC in Getit at all. 😞 I'm stuck with multiple Apps that use the KSVC components but no KSVC. 😞 Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated. Regards, Ian

Ah Ha! So can I now. Installing as I type. ;-) Hooray!.

Yes I know. That is why the site above is a little suspect.

Interesting site. It is only showing KSVC v 6.2.3. Not v 7.0. In any case I can't get it from there. It also shows Parnasses Bookmarks which people are hanging out but doesn't appear in D11 GetIt.

🙂

Hi Team, So, this raises a question in my mind about how GetIt works. I assumed (Acknowledging Professor Julius Sumner-Miller) that GetIt read whatever from Emba each time it was opened. I am guessing that Emba wouldn't allow us to change anything at Emba so it suggests that the GetIt information is on our PC somewhere and only gets changed if/when/how Emba makes a change. So, it could be that GetIt hiccupped during its deinstall and actually deleted the KSVC entry from its listing. Which means I may be able to recover it from my C-Drive backup. All speculation on my part. Does anybody have any explicit information on this area? I'm kinda hung out on a clothes line att with no pegs. 😞 Regards, Ian

Ahh. If only it were so in my Getit. 😞

Hi Team, As I did with D10, I want to take the 'distributed' Indy out of the equation and just use the Git Indy as it is, I believe, more up-to date. Remy, I had a try at creating he D11 versions but got lost and it failed to build. 😞 Ian

Thank you. I thought it would be like that. I also thought the Git Indy would have the D11 Libraries build bits but I don't see any. 😞 Regards, Ian

Hi Team, First time I have seen this error. It happened apparently at the line indicated below.. if MainForm.DBWReg.ReadBool('ThoughtForTheDay', 'ShowAtStart', True) and not lThoughtForTheDay then begin // if CheckUrl('http://quotes4all.net') then begin HTTP := TIdHTTP.Create; try interim := HTTP.Get('http://quotes4all.net'); <<<<<<<<<< Error here.. // ChopStart := pos(StartQuote, interim); if ChopStart > 1 then begin ChopEnd := PosEx(EndQuote, interim, ChopStart + 1); if ChopEnd > ChopStart then begin interim := Copy(interim, ChopStart, ChopEnd - ChopStart); InCmnd := False; for Cntr := 1 to Length(interim) do begin if interim[Cntr] = '<' then InCmnd := True else if interim[Cntr] = '>' then InCmnd := False else if not InCmnd then Quote := Quote + interim[Cntr]; end; TaskMessageDlg('Thought for the Day...', Quote, mtInformation, [mbOK], 0); end; end; finally FreeAndNil(HTTP); // .Free; lThoughtForTheDay := True; end; // end; I have seen Remy suggest using "TIdHTTP.Disconnect(False) and TIdHTTP.IOHandler.InputBuffer.Clear() ". How/where do I incorporate them into the above code please? Should they be incorporated into the above code? Regards & TIA, Ian

Ahhh. Thanks Remy. It is clearer now. RE the CheckURL, that is a really old habit I have.. Regards, Ian

Hi Team, Is there any difference between the following form creation methods?? Application.CreateForm(TReportsForm, ReportsForm); and ReportsForm := TReportsForm.Create(nil); Do either have an advantage over the other? Regards & TIA, Ian

Tks David, I found the former in an older part of my code and couldn't remember the reason or need for it. I too use the latter form. Regards & Tks again, Ian

Daniel Wolf I miss my WUPPDI Welcome Page in D11. :-(

Hi Attila, Thank you for your contribution. Given that I have no idea about regex I can only wonder at what you have done. Regards, Ian

Hi David, Doh!! This is where I face palm myself and berate myself for not thinking of that. 😞 Thank you for pointing out my inadequacy. 🙂 Regards & Tks again, Ian
